Question

What was the impact of Illbert bill on Indian National movement?

Answer 1

The Ilbert Bill was introduced in 1883 for British India by Lord Ripon.

The Bill gave Indian judges and magistrates the power to try British offenders in criminal cases at the District level.

The introduction of the bill led to intense opposition in Britain and from British settlers in India. The Bill played on racial tensions.

White opposition forced the government to withdraw the bill. This enraged the Indians.

The bitter controversy deepened antagonism between the British and Indians and was a prelude to the formation of the Indian National Congress.
