Question : 2
What was/were the object/objects of Queen Victoria’s Proclamation (1858)?
- To disclaim any intention to annex Indian States
- To place the Indian administration under the British Crown
- To regulate East India Company’s trade with India
a) 1 and 2 only
b) 2 only
c) 1 and 3 only
d) 1, 2 and 3
Answer »Answer: (a)
The object/objects of Queen Victoria’s Proclamation (1858) were to disclaim any intention to annex the Indian States as the announcement reversed Lord Dalhousie’s pre-war policy of political unification through princely state annexation. It was also to place the Indian administration under the British Crown.
Therefore, statements 1 & 2 are correct. However, it was not to regulate East India Company’s trade with India so statement 3 is wrong.
Question : 3
Which one among the following was the result of the First Anglo-Maratha War of 1775–1982?
a) The British won the war
b) The Marathas won the war
c) There was no victory for either side
d) It helped Haider Ali to gather strength because the British and Marathas were engaged in a mutual war
Answer »Answer: (c)
The First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782) was fought between the British East India Company and Maratha Empire in India. The war began with the Treaty of Surat and ended with the Treaty of Salbai. After the British defeat, Warren Hastings through Mahadji Shinde proposed a new treaty between the Peshwa and the British that would recognize the young Madhavrao as the Peshwa and grant Raghunathrao a pension.
This treaty, known as the Treaty of Salbai, was signed on 17 May 1782 and was ratified by Hastings in June 1782 and by Phadnis in February 1783. The treaty also returned to Shinde all his territories west of the Yamuna. It also guaranteed peace between the two sides for twenty years, thus ending the war.
