Answer 2

The "Ilbert Bill" was a law which was introduced in 1883 and drafted by Sir Courtenay Pergine Ilbert, during Viceroy Ripon 's tenure. The Act provided for "Indian judges could try  Europeans" .

• It was a matter of great frustration and rancor to try a European by an Indian, whom the Europeans considered as inferior. The law had evoked furious protests in the European business community of Calcutta, which also included tea a indigo planters.
• English women who further objected to the bill asserted that Bengali women, who are called "ignorant" and were"neglected by their men" must not be given the right to judge cases that involved English women .
