This image presents an educational infographic about the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919, depicting the system of dyarchy established in British India. The infographic is set against a map of India with two distinct circles illustrating the division of administrative responsibilities: one circle represents the ‘Reserved Subjects’ managed by British officials including finance, law and order, police, and land revenue, while the other shows ‘Transferred Subjects’ managed by Indian ministers covering education, local self-government, public health, and agriculture. The timeline at the bottom outlines key milestones from the 1917 Montagu Declaration to the 1921 implementation. The colors and icons clarify roles and responsibilities within the colonial governance structure aimed at gradually developing self-governing institutions in India.
