Lord Lytton viceroy of India (1876–80)
Explanation:
- Most of the administrative measures of Lytton went against the interests of the Indian people.
- Lord Lytton intensified the economic exploitation of the people of India by Britain’s policy of free trade and abolishing import-tax on thirty articles including the coarse cloth.
- A resolution was passed in July 1877 by the House of Commons, it recommended the reduction of import and export duties to the government of India as it suited British economic interests.
- Lord Lytton accepted the resolution and overlooked the poor financial condition of India caused by the famine, abolished import duties on 29 articles.
- But it failed to satisfy the British cloth of manufacturers.
- So in 1879, the duties on the coarser kinds of imported cotton were removed, which harmed the Indian economic interests.
- Thus, Lytton became a cause of the economic exploitation of India by Britain.
