================================

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.
