Question

It is said that there was rule of law in British India but equality before law emerged only after they left India.what does it mean?

Answer 1

British introduced the modern concept of rule of law in India ,according to this no one is above law and every subject citizen is equal in the eyes of law.this concept though considered a major milestone in India's walk towards modernity was never implemented decisively,there still prevailed differences between the rulers and the ruled.britishers considered themselves superior racially and were never willing to compromise their superior status.the complete equality was only achieved once india has attained its independence
