People were dissatisfied with British rule in the 1870s and 1880s due to the following  reasons:

• The British passed the Arms Act in 1878 which disallowed Indians from possessing  arms.

• Vernacular Press Act was also enacted in 1878. This Act snatched the freedom of  speech and expression. It allowed the government to confiscate the assets of  newspapers including their printing press if the newspapers published anything that  was critical of the government.

• In 1883, the Ilbert Bill was introduced. The bill provided for the trial of British or  European persons by Indians and sought equality between British and Indian judges in  the country. But the white opposition forced the government to withdraw the bill.
