[amp_mcq option1=”Lord Ripon” option2=”Lord Dufferin” option3=”Lord Curzon” option4=”Lord Wellesley” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (c) Lord Curzon.<\/p>\n
Lord Curzon was the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905. He was a strong advocate of British rule in India and believed that the Indian National Congress was a threat to British authority. In a speech in 1900, he ridiculed the Congress as representing only a “microscopic minority” of the people.<\/p>\n
Lord Ripon was the Viceroy of India from 1880 to 1884. He was a liberal reformer who introduced a number of reforms, including the Indian Councils Act of 1883, which expanded the role of Indians in the government of India. He was also a strong supporter of the Indian National Congress.<\/p>\n
Lord Dufferin was the Viceroy of India from 1884 to 1888. He was a conservative who was not as supportive of Indian self-government as Lord Ripon. However, he did not ridicule the Indian National Congress as Lord Curzon did.<\/p>\n
Lord Wellesley was the Governor-General of India from 1798 to 1805. He was a strong advocate of British rule in India and believed that the Indian people should be ruled by a benevolent British government. He did not ridicule the Indian National Congress, which did not exist during his time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
