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?

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. -

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. — Preceding

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. — Preceding
