The Ilbert Bill Controversy is said to be a high watermark in the history of Indian National Movement. This is because it invoked issues of
- Racial discrimination between Indian and Europeans
- Suppression of Indian media houses and their nationalization by the Government
- Security lapse on the Indian borders, especially the North-Western frontier
Select the correct answer code:
CorrectSolution: a)
Lord Ripon wanted to remove two kinds of law that had been prevalent in India. 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 even raised a fund of one lakh fifty thousand rupees and established an organisation called the Defence Association.
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 press in England joined the issue. Hence, Ripon amended the bill to satisfy the English in India and England.
