In 1950, the Constitution contained a four-fold classification of the states of the Indian Union—Part A, Part B, Part C and the Part D States. In all, they numbered 29. Part-A states comprised nine erstwhile governor’s provinces of British India. Part-B states consisted of nine erstwhile princely states with legislatures. Part-C states consisted of erstwhile chief commissioner's provinces of British India and some of the erstwhile princely states. These Part-C states (in all 10 in number) were centrally administered. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands were kept as the solitary Part-D state.

Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

A
Only 1

B
2 and 3

C
1 and 3

D
1, 2 and 3

Solution

The Government of India Act, 1919 divided the provincial subjects into two parts—transferred and reserved. The transferred subjects were to be administered by the governor with the aid of ministers responsible to the Legislative Council. The reserved subjects, on the other hand, were to be administered by the governor and his executive council without being responsible to the Legislative Council. This dual scheme of governance was known as ‘dyarchy’ which means the double rule. However, this experiment was largely unsuccessful. The government of India Act 1919 gave the provinces more legislative powers provided for the framing of rules for the devolution of authority between the Centre and the Provinces. However, judicial review was prohibited.
Question 7

Which of the following are among the provisions of the Act of 1858?
1. The administration of India and the Indian territories was transferred to the Crown.
2. The rule of East India Company was abolished.

1, 3 and 4

B
1, 2 and 3

C
2, 3 and 4

D
All of the above

Solution

The Government of India Act of 1858 provided that India henceforth was to be governed by, and in the name of, Her Majesty and abolished the rule of East India Company. It changed the designation of the Governor-General of India to that of Viceroy of India. He (viceroy) was the direct representative of the British Crown in India. Lord Canning thus became the first Viceroy of India. It created a new office, Secretary of State for India, vested with complete authority and control over Indian administration. The secretary of state was a member of the British cabinet and was responsible ultimately to the British Parliament.
Question 8
1 / -0

Considered the following statements.
The objective of the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 was:
1. To give power to the local government.
2. To establish dyarchy in the provinces.
3. The extension of provincial government.
Which of these statements are correct?

A
1 and 2

B
1 and 3

C
2 and 3

D
1, 2 and 3

Solution

The Government of India Act of 1919 relaxed the central control over the provinces by demarcating and separating the central and provincial subjects. The central and provincial legislatures were authorised to make laws on their respective list of subjects. It further divided the provincial subjects into two parts—transferred and reserved. The transferred subjects were to be administered by the governor with the aid of ministers responsible to the Legislative Council. The reserved subjects, on the other hand, were to be administered by the governor and his executive council without being responsible to the Legislative Council. This dual scheme of governance was known as ‘dyarchy’. So both statements 2 and 3 are correct.
Question 9
1 / -0

Consider the following statements with reference to the provisions of Morley-Minto Reforms Act in Colonial India:
1. The Morley-Minto Reform Act raised the number of additional members of the central legislature.
2, It introduced the principle of communal representation in the Legislature.
3. It empowered the Legislature to discuss the budget and to move resolutions on it.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

A
1 and 2

B
2 and 3

C
1, 2 and 3

D
1 and 3

Solution

The Morley-Minto Reforms Act considerably increased the size of the legislative councils, both Central and provincial. The number of members in the Central Legislative Council was raised from 16 to 60. The number of members in the provincial legislative councils was not uniform. It enlarged the deliberative functions of the legislative councils at both the levels. For example, members were allowed to ask supplementary questions, move resolutions on the budget, and so on. It introduced a system of communal representation for Muslims by accepting the concept of ‘separate electorate’. Under this, the Muslim members were to be elected only by Muslim voters. So all the statements are correct.
