The Dominion of India (Hindi: भारत अधिराज्य, Bhārata Adhirājya) was a predecessor to modern-day India and an independent state that existed between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950. It was transformed into the Republic of India by the promulgation of the Constitution of India on 26 January 1950.Strictly speaking, the Dominion of Pakistan was created by partitioning it from British India (British Raj). British India was succeeded by the Dominion of India on 15 August 1947. It is therefore technically incorrect to say that British India was partitioned into two independent India and Pakistan: the Dominion of India was a successor-state of British India while Pakistan was formerly a part of it. This is how the United Nations treated the new independent India (as a successor-state), while the newly created Pakistan had to re-apply membership into the United Nations. The Dominion of India was created by the Indian Independence Act 1947, enacted by the British parliament.George VI was made king of India (the head of state) and was represented by the governor-general. However, the governor-general was not also designated viceroy, as had been customary under the British Raj. Two governors-general held office in India during the Dominion period: the Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1947–48) and Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (1948–50). Jawaharlal Nehru held office as prime minister (the head of government) of the Union of India throughout this period.
