After the seapoy revolution in 1857 britishers were frightened towards indians as they noticed that Indians with arms can be a great threat to thier rule in this country. So, to dismiss any possibilty of another uprising in masses in 1878, britishers introduced INDIAN ARMS ACT according to which no indians were allowed to keep arms with them without any prior permission & proper licence. This rule was implemented during Viceroy Lord Lytton’s tenure. It was specifically for Native Indians and Europians & Anglo - Indians remained exempted from this.
