Question

Why did the situations in India get worst under Lord Canning’s reforms

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The most significant event during his administration was the outbreak of the sepoy revolt, 1857.
2. Lord Canning suppressed it and the Parliamentary Act of 1858 followed the event.
3. By the Proclamation of the Queen, the east india company’s rule ended and the Crown of England took over the government of India.
4. Though he meted out punishment to those who had taken part in the uprising, yet he avoided indiscriminate vengeance on the Indians as far as possible and thus earned the title of ‘Clemency Canning’.
5. He restored law and order in an effective way and introduced a reform in the administration.
