Consider the following statements about popular socio-religious movement in Northern part of India.
The Singh Sabhas we’re aimed reforming the Sikh society
The Nirankari Movement insisted on the worship of formless God.
The Namdhari Movement followers wore white clothes and practiced vegetarianism.
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Correct
Ans D
After the fall of kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, there were several attempts to raise the old glory of the Khalsa. Several movements to reform Sikhism were started.
First one being the Namdhari movement, which was started by Baba Ram Singh Namdhari after the Anglo-Sikh wars. He was a soldier in Khalsa army.
Like the Nirankari, this second reform movement known as the Namdhari, or Kuka, movement also had its origin in the north- west corner of the Sikh kingdom, away from the places of royal pomp and grandeur. It harked back to a way of life more in keeping with the spiritual tradition of the community. Its principal object was to spread the true. spirit of Sikhism shorn of tawdry customs and mannerism, which had been growing on it since the beginning of Sikh monarchy.
In the midst of national pride born of military glory and political power, this movement extolled the religious obligation for a pious and simple living. They were called Kukas’ because of their peculiar style they used in reciting Gurbani (Sayings of the Gurus). This style was in a high pitched voice, called Kook in punjabi, and thus Namdhari Khalsa’s were named Kukas.

Improving working conditions in factories for Indian workers.
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.
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.
