The 'Ilbert Bill' was a bill introduced in 1883 under the reign of the Viceroy Lord Ripon (who earned the epithet Ripon-The good) which was written by Sir C.P Ilbert ( The law member of the Viceroy's Council). According to the said Act, Indian judges could try a European accused.
This came as a huge resentment among the British regimes as they knew the judges from India would be inclined towards the Indians and the European convicts who were being prosecuted under the crime committed against an Indian would be punished according to law.
The main resenters were the Indigo Farm owners in West Bengal region who were exploiting farmers and were forcing them to cultivate Indigo even though they did not want to do so.
