Explanation

Under British rule, the Muslim community received separate representation through the Morley-Minto Reforms incorporated in the Indian Council Act of 1909. This system of separate electorates allowed Muslims to vote for their own representatives, a key demand of the Muslim League. This communal representation system continued and expanded in later reforms, significantly influencing Indian politics.
