Q. Which of the following act/s was/were implemented during Lord Curzon period?
1.The Official Secrets Act.
2.The Indian Universities Act.
3.The Calcutta Corporation Act.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: C
Notes:
Explanation: Lord Curzon refused to recognize India as a nation and insulted Indian nationalists and the intelligentsia by describing their activities as “letting off of gas”.
He spoke derogatorily of Indian character in general. Administrative measures adopted during his rule—the Official Secrets Act, the Indian Universities Act, the Calcutta Corporation Act and, above all, the partition of Bengal—left no doubt in Indian minds about the basically reactionary nature of British rule in India.
