Answer 2

Answer:

1) British never recognised that Indians are politically advanced

2) But for the pressure from various corner esp after 1857 they ware forced to include Indians in administration

3) Still then they offered voting rights they never recognized universal voting , They offered voting rights only based on some restricted criteria's - Explicitly divide and rule

4) Hence offering voting rights to certain minorities they divided indians very easily , Though the minority was given voting rights they cant establish their power absolutely, Because apart from voting rights, Governor general had absolute veto power to forbid anything passed by Indians

5) Conclusion : Its a racial discrimination based on western political domination which eventually created discrimination among Indians
