Which of the following acts introduced the system of dyarchy in the provinces of British India, dividing administrative subjects into 'transferred' and 'reserved' categories?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Government of India Act of 1919, also known as the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms, introduced dyarchy in provincial executives where 'transferred' subjects were administered by ministers responsible to the legislative council and 'reserved' subjects were retained by the governor and his executive council. The 1935 Act later abolished provincial dyarchy and introduced provincial autonomy while establishing dyarchy at the center. The 1909 Act is known for introducing separate electorates.
