Correct Answer: 1909


Solution : The correct answer is 1909

The Morley-Minto Reforms, also known as the Indian Councils Act of 1909, established the communal electorate for the first time in India. This statute established distinct electorates for several religious groups, including Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians. It was a key step towards the communalization of Indian politics since it allowed for distinct representation of various religious groups in legislative bodies. This decision was interpreted as the British attempting to placate various religious communities in order to garner their support for colonial power.
