Question

Indian councils act of 1861 is called as policy of assertion why

Answer 1

The Indian Councils Act 1861 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that transformed the India's executive council into a cabinet run on the portfolio system.[2] This cabinet had six "ordinary members", who each took charge of a separate department in Calkutta's government: home, revenue, military, law, finance, and (after 1874) public works. The military Commander-in-Chief sat in with the council as an extraordinary member. The Executive Council was enlarged by addition of fifth member. The Viceroy was allowed, under the provisions of the Act, to overrule the council on affairs if he deemed it necessary, as was the case in 1879, during the tenure of Lord Lyton.The Viceroy was allowed to issue ordinances lasting six months if the Legislative Council is not in session in an emergency.

The Secretary of State for India, Sir Charles Wod, believed that the Act was of immense importance: "the act is a great experiment. That everything is changing in India is obvious enough, and that the old autocratic government cannot stand unmodified is indisputable."[3]

The 1861 Act restored the legislative powers of Bombay and Madras Presidencies taken away by the Charter Act of 1833.
