I get an impression that the Indian Independence Act 1947 is just an act that was passed by the British Parliament and if the same Parliament passes similar other act over-riding the act, India will become a part of the Britain. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/220.227.13.249|220.227.13.249]] ([[User talk:220.227.13.249|talk]]) 12:02, 1 March 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:The British parliament could pass a law making China a part of Britain. Such a law falls within its sovereign authority, as understood in British constitutional law. But that wouldn't make China a part of the UK. It's no different with India. The UK may well repeal the Indian Independence Act as a "spent measure", but it recognizes India as a sovereign state over which it has no authority different from any other state. |

India Act
Has there not been an India Act, such as the Canada Act etc?
Or would this be it? Flosssock1 (talk) 00:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- What exactly are you asking? For an act by that name? Or for an act that severed India completly from the rule of United Kimgdom as the Canada Act 1982 did? This is the latter. - BilCat (talk) 01:27, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- It's just Canada and Australia etc obtained acts the completly severed them from the United Kingdom long after gaining independence by names such as the Canada Act. I'm just a bit confused, is the Indian Independence Act the same as these other ones that I am talking about? Or is it different? Is India not completly severed from the United Kingdom? Flosssock1 (talk) 01:58, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- As far as I know, it was the Indian Independence Act 1947 that completely severed India from the UK. India continued with the British king as Sovereign until it became a republic in 1950 with the adoption of the Constitution of India. To my knowledge, Canada never had specific act which granted them full and immediate self-governance. Instead, they were given self-governace in 1867, and over time became independent in practice. I recall hearing that some in the Britain government were surprised when Canada asked for patriation (full severance), as they had thought Canada was already fully independent. I don't know if it was the same in Australia or not, but it sounds tha way. - BilCat (talk) 02:27, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
