The people were dissatisfied with the British rule in the 1870s-1880s because-
1.The Arms Act was passed in 1878 disallowing Indians from having weapons.
2.The Vernacular Press Act was enacted in 1878 in an effort to silence those who were critical of government. The Act allowed government to take the assets of newspapers including their printing presses if the newspapers published anything that was found objectionable.
3.In 1883 there was a furore over the attempt by the government to introduce Ilbert Bill but this idea was rejected.

Answer:
Some of the reasons for dissatisfaction with British rule in the 1870s and 1880s are as follows:
The Arms Act was passed in 1878. This Act disallowed Indians from possessing arms.
The Vernacular Press Act was passed in 1878. This Act empowered the government to confiscate the assets of newspapers including their printing presses, if the newspaper published anything “objectionable”.
The government tried to introduce the Ilbert Bill in 1883. The bill made provisions for trial of British or European persons by Indians. Thus, the Ilbert Bill sought equality between British and Indian judges in the country. But the whites opposed the Bill and forced the government to withdraw it.
