    Solution

    Separate elections for Muslims were introduced under the Indian Councils Act of 1909, also known as the Morley-Minto Reforms. This Act provided for the representation of Muslims through separate electorates, where Muslims could elect their own representatives to the legislative councils. This was a significant step in the political development of India and aimed at addressing the concerns of the Muslim minority in the governance of the country.
