Answer

The Viceroy, Lord Minto was responsible for granting separate representation to the Muslims in 1909.

The system of separate electorates implied that 'communities' should serve as the basis for representation. In other words, the Muslims would vote for Muslim candidates and the Hindus for the Hindu candidates.
