Q1In which Act was provision made for the appointment of an Indian member to the Governor-General's Council of India for the first time?

A Indian Councils Act, 1919

B Indian Councils Act, 1909

C Indian Councils Act, 1861

D Indian Councils Act, 1896

Explanation

The Indian Councils Act, 1909, associated with the Morley-Minto reforms, provided for an Indian member in the Governor-General's Executive Council; S. P. Sinha became the first Indian to hold that place. The Indian Councils Act, 1919 came later and introduced dyarchy in provinces. The Indian Councils Act, 1861 expanded legislative councils and allowed limited nomination of Indians to legislative work, but the question asks about appointment to the Governor-General's Council in this specific sense. There was no standard Indian Councils Act of 1896 carrying this provision.
