    Question

    In ______ , the British Government announced certain reforms in the structure of the Government in India, which were known as the Morley-Minto Reforms.

    A.

    1903

    B.

    1909

    C.

    1912

    D.

    1939

    Correct option is B

    Ans.(B) 1909

    Explanation:
    The correct answer is 1909. The Morley-Minto Reforms, also known as the Indian Councils Act 1909, were introduced to reform the structure of governance in British India. These reforms were a response to increasing demands for greater Indian representation in governance. They introduced separate electorates for Muslims, expanded legislative councils, and allowed for a limited increase in Indian representation in the legislative process.

    Information Booster:
    ● The reforms were named after Lord Morley (Secretary of State for India) and Lord Minto (Viceroy of India).
    ● This was the first instance of separate electorates for a religious community (Muslims), which later influenced communal politics.
    ● Indian representation in legislative councils was still limited and largely advisory.
    ● Despite their limited scope, the reforms were an important step in India's constitutional development.
