dyarchy
Two rulers govern
Dyarchy is government by two rulers or authorities sharing power.
The term most often refers to the constitutional arrangement in British India (1919–1935) where provincial governance was split between British-appointed officials and Indian ministers responsible to elected legislatures.
Also spelled diarchy.
The dyarchy satisfied neither British administrators nor Indian nationalists.
