1909 Act is also known as Morley-Minto Reforms. Its two main features were:

  • It 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 ‘legalised communalism’ and Lord Minto came to be known as the Father of Communal Electorate.
  • It increased the size of Central and provincial legislative councils.
