Question

short note on morely minto reform

Answer 1

The main features of the Morley Minto Reforms of 1909 were:
1. extension of the number of members of the legislative councils.
2.introduction of a separate electorate for the muslims.
3.under the separate electorate, muslims were given the right to elect their own representatives to these councils.

The extremist leaders protested against the communal electorates. The national unity was shattered with one blow. Mahatma Gandhi expressed his disappointment by saying that 'the Morley-Minto Reforms have been our undoing.'
