Montagu-Chelmsford Proposals

The Montagu-Chelmsford Proposals (also known as Montagu-Chelmsford Report) of 1918 were directly related to constitutional reforms in India. Edwin Montagu was the Secretary of State for India and Lord Chelmsford was the Viceroy. Their report led to the Government of India Act of 1919, which introduced the system of dyarchy (dual government) in the provinces, separating transferred and reserved subjects. This was a major constitutional reform that increased Indian representation in governance. The proposals had nothing to do with social reforms (a), educational reforms (b), or police administration (c). > Montagu-Chelmsford: Constitutional reforms → Government of India Act 1919.
