(A) British Government
(B) Pakistan Government
(C) Indian Government
(D) None of these

🧠 Explanation:

  • The dyarchy system was first introduced by the British Government in the Indian subcontinent under the Government of India Act 1919.
  • Dyarchy divided provincial subjects into two categories: Reserved (controlled by British officials) and Transferred (administered by Indian ministers).
  • The system aimed to give limited self-governance to Indians while retaining British control over key areas like law and finance.
  • This arrangement was an early step toward constitutional reforms but was widely criticized and later replaced by full provincial autonomy under the 1935 Act.
