Question

The Charter Act of 1833 attempted to in-
troduce a system of open competition for
selection of civil servants, and stated that
the Indians should not be debarred from
holding any place, office and employment
under the Company. However, this pro-
vision was negated after opposition from
the Court of Directors.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Charter Act of 1833 was the outcome of Industrial Revolution in England which envisages that Indian’s had to function as market for the English mass production on the basis of ‘Laissez Faire’. Thus the Charter act of 1833 was institutionalised on basis of liberal concept. This was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that gave East India Company to rule India for another 20 years. The act legalized the British colonization of India and the territorial possessions of the company but were held “in trust for his majesty” for the service of Government of India.
