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.
