The Muddiman Committee, also known as the Reforms Equiry Committee, was created in 1924 to check the functioning of the constitutional system introduced by the Government of India Act 1919. The act brought the system of dyarchy into effect in the provinces and divided the subjects into \u201creserved\u201d and \u201ctransferred\u201d categories. The committee became the center of political controversy, as Indians strongly criticized its inefficiency and lack of real power-sharing. Growing political unrest and dissatisfaction over the dyarchy system prompted the British government to set up this committee. The committee was chaired by Sir Alexander Muddiman, a senior British civil servant, and consisted of both official and non-official members. In this article, we are going to cover the Muddiman Committee, its purpose, recommendations and outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Muddiman Committee Purpose<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Muddiman Committee was created with the goal of reviewing the constitutional reforms introduced by the 1919 Act, with special focus on dyarchy. Its aim was to analyse whether dyarchy had worked in practice, evaluate the criticisms raised by Indians and suggest changes for better governance. The purpose was to question whether the Indian political structure under British rule should remain static or whether it required a built-in mechanism for gradual progress towards self-governance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Muddiman Committee Reports Features<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Muddiman Committee submitted its finding in 1925 but the members were completely divided in their opinions. Due to this division, there were two separate reports created- the Majority Report and the Minority Report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Majority Report\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The report was prepared by the official members and supporters of British Rule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It said that the system of dyarchy had not been given a fair trail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
