Solution
The Indian Independence Act was the only one of the many acts which both Congress and Muslim League signed with the British. Never in the history had Britain voluntarily abdicated a Colonial territory without bloodshed or war. So the Indian Independence Act was described as ‘unique’ in history. It is this what Lord Samuel called ‘Treaty of Peace without War’.
