1917 Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms

The Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms of 1917 were introduced by the British government in India to address growing demands for self-governance. The key changes included the introduction of a system called "Dyarchy," where some powers were transferred to Indian ministers in provincial governments, while the British retained control over key areas like finance and law. Additionally, the reforms expanded the electorate, allowing more Indians to vote and participate in governance. While these reforms aimed to appease Indian political aspirations, many felt they were insufficient and did not fully meet the calls for complete independence.
