Question

In order to have more people in the administration, which of the following was a step demanded by the Indian National Congress?

• A. Hold civil service examination in India.
• B. Remove the British from all positions of power.
• C. Let Indians go to Britain to appear in the civil service examinations.
• D. Let the people of India choose the administrators.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hold civil service examination in India.

All the important jobs which include some form of responsibility had never been given to Indians. Official positions in the navy, army, courts, and the civil services were held by the British. To remedy this, one of the demands by the Indian National Congress was to hold the civil service examinations in India so that more Indians could participate.
