Question

Why were the social reforms initiated by the British resented by a section of Indian Society

Answer 1

Several social reforms were introduced by the British during their rule of India. Most were resented by the Indian society, as they were found to serve to the needs of the British, more than that of the India society.

Few examples are the Doctrine of Lapse in 1848, which banned rulers from adopting sons in the absence of natural heirs, Morely-Minto Reforms of 1909, which called for separate electorates for Hindus and Muslims with the objective a widening the divide between these two communities, Rowlatt Act of 1919, which gave the rulers extraordinary powers to supress the freedom struggle of India.
