Consider the following pairs : 1. Ilbert Bill —Lord Hastings 2. August Offer —Lord Ripon Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Both pairs are incorrectly matched. The Ilbert Bill was introduced in 1883 during the tenure of Viceroy Lord Ripon, not Lord Hastings [c3, t1]. Drafted by Sir Courtenay Ilbert, the bill sought to allow Indian district magistrates and session judges to try Europeans in criminal cases, aiming to remove racial disqualifications in the judiciary [t2, t8]. This sparked a massive controversy among the European community, leading to the bill's modification [t9]. The August Offer was announced on August 8, 1940, by the then Viceroy Lord Linlithgow, not Lord Ripon [c1, t3]. It was a proposal made during World War II to gain Indian cooperation, offering dominion status at an unspecified future date and the expansion of the Viceroy's Executive Council [c2, t4]. Lord Ripon's tenure ended in 1884, long before the 1940 offer [t8].
