Question

Q. During the reign of the viceroy Lord Curzon, the Curzon-Kitchener Controversy was related to:

• A. Dual control of the military
• B. Bengal partitio
• C. Morley-Minto reforms
• D. Regulation of central universities

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dual control of the military

Explanation:

Lord Kitchener took over as Commander-in-Chief of the British Indian Army in 1902. He was not satisfied with this system. In his opinion, the post of Military-Member could be easily dispensed with and his charter of responsibilities could be merged with that of the Commander-in-chief.

• But the viceroy Lord Curzon was not amenable to these proposals and he not only vehemently disapproved of them. He also tried to give a political twist to the entire controversy.
