[amp_mcq option1=”Policy of annexation will be abandoned .” option2=”‘Status quo’ of the native rulers would be maintained.” option3=”Equal treatment would be given to all subjects, Indians and Europeans” option4=”There would be no interference in the social and religious beliefs of the Indians” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (c).<\/p>\n
The Queen’s Proclamation of 1858 was a statement issued by Queen Victoria on November 1, 1858, in which she announced the end of the East India Company’s rule in India and the beginning of direct British rule. The proclamation also promised a number of reforms, including equal treatment for all subjects, Indians and Europeans, and non-interference in the social and religious beliefs of the Indians.<\/p>\n
Of the options given, only (c) was fulfilled by the British government. The policy of annexation was not abandoned, as the British continued to annex Indian territories throughout the 19th century. The ‘status quo’ of the native rulers was also not maintained, as the British often interfered in the affairs of the princely states. And there was interference in the social and religious beliefs of the Indians, as the British government passed laws that discriminated against Hindus and Muslims.<\/p>\n
The Queen’s Proclamation of 1858 was a significant event in Indian history, as it marked the beginning of direct British rule in India. The proclamation also promised a number of reforms, which were intended to improve the lives of Indians. However, many of these reforms were not implemented, and the British government continued to rule India in a paternalistic manner. This led to growing resentment among Indians, which eventually culminated in the Indian independence movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
