Question
Why was absentee sovereignty resented by the Indians?
Solution
- The Indians felt that India's wealth was being drained to England and not utilised for their welfare.
- Indians resented absentee sovereignty because the British rulers, governing from a distance, were disconnected from the realities and concerns of the Indian people.
- This led to oppressive policies, exploitation of resources, and disregard for local customs, causing widespread dissatisfaction and resistance among the Indian population.
