Do you know that India Was Initially Offered Dominion Status

Do you know? Before India gained full independence on August 15, 1947, there was a period when the British government considered offering India Dominion Status as a compromise to growing demands for self-rule. Dominion Status would have allowed India to become a self-governing nation within the British Commonwealth, maintaining the British monarch as the head of state. This status was similar to what countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand had at the time.
