Minto-Morley Reforms

The Minto-Morley Reforms of 1909 were a set of changes to the governance of British India, aimed at gradually involving Indians in decision-making. They established a system of Diarchy, where certain key administrative areas, like education and agriculture, were managed jointly by British officials and Indian representatives. The reforms also increased the number of elected Indian members in legislative councils, giving Indians a voice in governance. Overall, they marked an important step toward greater Indian self-governance, balancing British control with representation of Indian interests, but still maintained ultimate British authority.
