When the Indian Councils Act 1909 was enacted, the Viceroy of India was:
Lord Minto
The correct answer is Lord Minto.
For the first time, Indians were appointed to the Viceroy's Executive Council and the Provincial Executive Councils. Satyendra Prasanna Sinha was the first Indian to be appointed to the Viceroy's Executive Council. While the reforms increased Indian participation in legislative bodies, they did not address the demand for responsible government. The ultimate authority remained firmly with the British.
