  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Due to which of the following reasons was the British attitude for granting independence to India changed?

    1. Impact of Second World War
    2. Britain gave self-rule to the Irish Free State
    3. Rising tide of nationalism in India
    Solution
    During the 1920s and 1930s British attitudes towards India began to shift. This was partly a result of Gandhi's protests and the work of other nationalist leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru. At the same time, India stopped being as important to Britain's economy as it had been in the past. There was also the fact that Britain gave self-rule to the Irish Free State in 1921 and this made it even harder to deny self-rule to India.
    Throughout the 1920s and 1930s Britain introduced a range of measures that gave more and more independence to India. The number of Indians who were eligible to vote was increased. Indians began to serve on the Council of the Viceroy and also got jobs as ministers in the government. By 1929 Indians were playing an important role in running their country. In 1935 the British Parliament passed the Government of India Act. India was divided into self-ruling territories, which were to be a united federation along the same lines as Australia or Canada. However, India did not have the same levels of independence as these countries.
    The British saw their actions as gradually preparing India to earn its liberty and to rule itself. Indian nationalists saw the British measures as a way of hanging on to power and not giving power to Indians. The Indian National Congress, headed by Nehru, became the focus of the campaign for Indians who wanted to see an end to British rule.
    World War II also contributed towards changing attitude of British.

  • Question 11
    1 / -0
    The greatest evil that arose out of British policies, with regard to Indian agriculture, was the _______.
    Solution
    Commercial agriculture grew partly because of the recurring need for money of the peasants to meet the mounting demands made on them by the government and the landlords. Another reason was the fact that such a development was welcomed by the British authorities. As commercial agriculture spread, the old practices associated with a self-subsisting economy declined. In some districts, the peasants shifted over completely to cash crops and had to buy their feed stuffs from dealers.
    The effect of British policy is seen in the over pressure on agriculture, resulting in no less than 72 per cent of the total population of 320 millions being now dependent on the one form of occupation, and in the extreme and growing poverty of millions of cultivators. This poverty is only partially attributable to the direct burden of Government land revenue exactions.
    Hence the british policies only led to impoverishment of the peasants in India.

  • Question 21
    1 / -0
    What was the reason that the British merchants were willing to invest in railways and mines but not in cotton textiles industry?
    Solution
    The British generally wore clothes made up of either wool or leather even in summer. When Indian cotton clothes were introduced to them, they found it to be comfortable to wear in summer, it gained popularity among common people. Demand for Indian fabrics increased and this posed a threat to the traditional woolen industry. Due to this, an Act was passed in 1700 against the import of any of such fabric from India, Persia and China. All the goods seized in the process were to be confiscated, sold by auction or re-exported. But the consumers were not ready to give up use of imported cotton materials. Many pamphlets were published by representative of woolen industry to prevent consumers from buying those cotton goods. People wearing cotton clothes were attacked and even the houses with any of such cotton materials found were damaged. However this violence could not hold back the need of people to be clothed in something other than wool or leather. This tremendous violence and protest had to be addressed with new Act of prohibition. However this Act did not impose any ban on trading of cotton fabrics but they had to be kept in the warehouses and re-exported to other parts of the Europe. When the imports from India were restricted, imitators found a golden opportunity to make profit out of depressed demand of consumers. They started making low quality cloths in Britain itself and started selling these cloths in Britain.
