Government of India Act of 1919.

On August 20, 1917, the British Government declared, for the first time, that its objective was the gradual introduction of the responsible government in the India.

The Government of India Act of 1919 was thus enacted, which came into

force in the 1921.

This Act is also known as Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms.

(Remember Montagu was the Secretary of State for India and Lord Chelmsford was the Viceroy of India).
