Muddiman Committee


The Muddiman Committee or the Reforms Enquiry Committee was a committee lead by Sir Alexander Muddinman, organized by the British and Indian government, to meet the demand of Indian leaders in the context of Indians new Purna Swaraj declaration. This committee would aid in investigating the diarchy issue on the Constitution as set up in 1921 under the Indian Council Act of 1919.

Noteworthy Members

The reports created by the committee was divided into two parts due to disagreements, the majority report and minority report.
The Majority Report declared by officials that a diarchy had not been established, has not been given a fair trial run, and so only minor changes in non-official Indians were recommended
The Minority Report declared by nonofficials that the Act of 1919 had failed, and that they need a Constitution that has a permanent basis with a provision for automatic progress in the future.
Submitted in September 1925, the combination of these reports recommended the appointment of a Royal Commission.
