Q. Which of the following act was introduced the “Separate Electorate” to Muslims?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation: Indian Councils Act, 1909 introduced a system of communal representation for Muslims by accepting the concept of ‘separate electorate’.
Under this, the Muslim members were to be elected only by Muslim voters. Thus, the Act ‘legalized communalism’ and Lord Minto came to be known as the Father of Communal Electorate.
