Question

What was Ilbet Bill and why was it reserved

Answer 1

English women who opposed the bill argued that Bengali women, who they stereotyped as “ignorant”, are neglected by their men, and that Bengali babu should therefore not be given the right to judge cases involving English women. The most vocal opponents of the bill were British tea and indigo plantations owners in Bengal, led by Griffith Evans.The British press in India spread wild rumours about how Indian judges would abuse their powers
