Question

How did ilbert bill controversy lead to the origin of indian national congress?

Answer 1

Answer:

Many reasons led to the formation of the Indian national Congress in 1885. One of these was Illbert BIll (1883).

The Ilbert bill was passed in 1883 by Lord Ripon. This bill sought to create political equality by vesting Indian judges with the power to try the Europeans or the British citizens residing in India. However, due to vehement protests by the Europeans, the bill was withdrawn. The incident sparked nationalism among the educated Indians. The repeal of the Illbert Bill enraged the Indians and began to feel the need for organising themselves. The Indians began to believe that they need to organise themselves and form a political organisation to protect the rights of the countrymen.

Answer 2

The bill, severely weakened by compromise, was enacted by the Indian Legislative Council on Jan. 25, 1884. The bitter controversy surrounding the measure deepened antagonism between British and Indians and was a prelude to the formation of the Indian National Congress the following year.
