1. Improving working conditions in factories for Indian workers.
2. Ban of indigenous press and missionary activities by the state.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans D
Learning: According to the system of law, a European could be tried only by a European Judge or 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 the Ripon’s departure.

2. Post withdrawal of non-cooperation movement, the Indian National Congress adopted the policy of total non-interference in the political status of the princely states.

Two developments in the middle 1930s brought a radical change in the relations between the princely states and British India. The Government of India Act of 1935 projected a scheme of federation in which the states were brought into a direct constitutional relationship with British India.
The second major impact on the states was created by the acceptance of office by the Congress in majority of the British Indian provinces in 1937.
The installation of the Congress ministries in the neighbouring British Indian provinces encouraged the Praja Mandal leaders to step up their political activities for demanding responsible government in the princely states.

Mahatma Gandhi decided ‘Individual Satyagraha’ due to dissatisfaction to launch with
Correct
Ans(c)
British announced August offer in August 1940 to secure the cooperation of Indians in the World War II. Mahatma Gandhi was not satisfied with the offer and launched Individual satyagraha. It was nonviolent in nature.
The aims of launching satyagrahas were:
To show that nationalist patience was not due to weakness;
to express people’s feeling that they were not interested in the war and that they made no distinction between Nazism and the double autocracy that ruled India; and
to give another opportunity to the Government to accept Congress’ demands peacefully.
The demand of the Satyagrahi would be the freedom of speech against the war through an anti-war declaration. If the Government did not arrest the Satyagrahi, he or she would not only repeat it but move into villages and start a march towards Delhi, thus precipitating a movement which came to be known as the ‘Delhi Chalo Movement’.
Vinoba Bhave was the first to offer the satyagraha and Nehru, the second. By May 1941, 25,000 people had been convicted for individual civil disobedience.
The Congress leaders, released December 1941, were anxious to defend Indian Territory and go to the aid of the Allies. The CWC overrode Gandhi’s and Nehru’s objections and passed a resolution offering to cooperate with the Government in the defence of India, if
Full independence was given after the UI war, and
Substance of power was transferred immediately. It was at this time that Gandhi designated Nehru as his chosen successor.
