- Improving working conditions in factories for Indian workers
- Ban of indigenous press and missionary activities by the state
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: d)
According to the system of law, a European could be tried only by a European Judge or a European Magistrate. The disqualification was unjust and it was sought to cast a needless discredit and dishonour upon the Indian-born members of the judiciary.
C.P. Ilbert, Law Member, introduced a bill in 1883 to abolish this discrimination in judiciary. But Europeans opposed this Bill strongly. They also suggested that it was better to end the English rule in India than to allow the English to be subjected to the Indian Judges and Magistrates. The bill ended due to this opposition.
The Ilbert Bill controversy helped the cause of Indian nationalism. The immediate result of this awakening of India was the birth of the Indian National Congress in 1885, the very next year of Ripon’s departure.
