  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which of the following Acts introduced communal electorate in India?
    Solution
    The  Indian Council Act of 1909 or the Morley-Minto Reforms 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. Thus, the Act ‘legalised communalism’ and Lord Minto came to be known as the Father of Communal Electorate.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Which one among the following was not a feature of the provincial executive according to the Government of India Act, 1935?
    Solution
    The Government of India Act, 1935 abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced ‘provincial autonomy’ in its place. The provinces were allowed to act as autonomous units of administration in their defined spheres. Moreover, the Act introduced responsible governments in the provinces, that is, the governor was required to act with the advice of ministers responsible to the provincial legislature. This came into effect in 1937 and was discontinued in 1939. But the Governor could not be removed by a vote of no-confidence of the provincial legislature. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which of the following was/were the main feature(s) of the Government of India Act, 1919?
    1. The act provided for the establishment, for the first time in India of a Public Service Commission.
    2. The act provided for the appointment of an India to the viceroy's executive council, as well as the provincial executive councils.
    3. A provision was made for classification of central and provincial subjects.
    Solution
    The Government of India act, 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. However, the structure of government continued to be centralised and unitary. It provided for the establishment of a public service commission for the first time. Hence, a Central Public Service Commission was set up in 1926 for recruiting civil servants. So both statements 1 and 3 are correct.

    1 / -0
    Which of the following Acts was described by Jawaharlal Nehru as 'Charter of Slavery'?
    Solution
    The Government of India Act came into force on 4 August 1935. The first political reaction was towards the way, the representation of the princely states was proposed. The delegates were not to be elected by the public but by the rulers. The second important reaction was against the proposed form of dyarchy. The Dyarchy had been a total failure in the provinces, but now there was an experiment coming up at the centre. The safeguards and the special powers vested in the Governor-General was something like a “Charter of Slavery” as mentioned by Jawahar Lal Nehru.

    Consider the following Acts:
    1. The Regulating Act
    2. Pitt's India Act
    3. The Charter Act
    4. Indian Council Act
    What is the correct chronological sequence of these Acts?
    Solution
    The Regulating Act was passed in 1773. The next important act was the Pitt’s India Act of 1784. A series of Charter Acts passed were passed by the British Parliament between 1793 and 1853. After the great revolt of 1857, the British Government felt the necessity of seeking the cooperation of the Indians in the administration of their country. In pursuance of this policy of association, three Indian Councils Acts were enacted by the British Parliament in 1861, 1892 and 1909. So the correct chronological order is 1,2,3,4.
