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

The objective of the bill was to give power to Indian judges and magistrates to try British offenders in criminal cases at the District level.

British in Britain and India opposed this bill intensely, playing racial tensions.

The government withdrew the bill due to this opposition, which enraged the Indians.

This controversy deepened the bitterness between the British and the Indians, which led to the formation of Indian National Congress.
