The Montagu-Chelmsford Report, published in 1918, proposed constitutional reforms for India, recommending the introduction of dyarchy in provinces and expanding the legislative councils. These recommendations formed the basis for the Government of India Act, 1919.
Minto-Morley Reforms (1909) were constitutional reforms introduced by the British government to expand the legislative councils and include elected Indian representatives. The recommendations of the Montagu-Chelmsford Report (1919) led to the Government of India Act, 1919, and introduced dyarchy in the provinces. Chauri-Chaura Outrage (1922) occurred during the Non-Cooperation Movement. It was a violent incident where a police station was attacked by a mob, leading to a significant shift in Gandhi’s strategy.
