प्रश्न
Mention any two Repressive Colonial policies of Lord Lytton.
उत्तर
Two Repressive Colonial policies of Lord Lytton were:
- Lord Lytton organised a Grand Delhi Durbar in 1877 to proclaim Queen Victoria as the Empress of India. Lakhs of rupees were spent on the event but nothing was done for Indians who were in the grip of a famine.
- Lord Lytton introduced the Vernacular Press Act (1878) and Indian Arms Act (1878). The Vernacular Press Act forbade vernacular papers to publish any material that might incite feelings of dissatisfaction against the British Government. This Act was not applicable to English newspapers. In 1882 this Act was repealed by Lord Ripon.
- The maximum age limit for the Indian Civil Service examination was reduced from 21 to 19 years, thus, making it difficult for the Indians to compete for it.
