Question

2. State two reasons why historians refute the claim that the British introduced the rule of law in India.​

Answer 1

Answer:

During their rule, the British arbitrated the Indians by introducing the Sedition Act in 1870. The Act stated that any person protesting or criticising the British government could be arrested without due trial. Thus, the Indians felt the need to bring in changes to the law which were derogatory and forced upon them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Historians refute the claim that the British introduced the rule of law in India because colonial law was arbitrary, and the Indian nationalists played a prominent role in the development of the legal sphere in British India.
