Here’s a detailed comparison of the Government of India Act 1909 (Morley-Minto Reforms) vs. Government of India Act 1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms) in tabular format:
Feature |
1909 (Morley-Minto Reforms) |
1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms) |
Legislative Structure |
Expanded councils but still advisory |
Bicameral legislature introduced at the central level |
Provincial Administration |
No major changes, British control remained |
Dyarchy introduced—division into "Transferred" & "Reserved" subjects |
Indian Representation |
Allowed Indians in councils, but British had real power |
Increased Indian participation, but governors retained overriding powers |
Voting Rights |
Limited voting rights for elite Indians |
Expanded franchise, but still restricted to property owners & taxpayers |
Separate Electorates |
Introduced separate electorates for Muslims |
Extended separate electorates to Sikhs, Anglo-Indians, Europeans, etc. |
Executive Council |
Indian members included, but mostly British-controlled |
More Indian ministers appointed, handling transferred subjects |
Governor's Power |
Absolute control over provinces |
Governor still had overriding power over "Reserved" subjects |
Significance |
First step toward Indian participation in governance |
First move toward responsible government & provincial autonomy |
Limitations |
No real transfer of power to Indians |
British officials still had final authority in key areas |
🔹 Key Takeaways:
✅ 1909 focused on minor reforms, introducing separate electorates but keeping real power with the British.
✅ 1919 introduced Dyarchy, giving Indians some control over provincial affairs but retaining British supremacy in key matters.
