Q. ‘The Congress is tottering to its fall and one of my greatest ambitions while in India is to assist it to a peaceful demise’.
Who among the following gave this statement?
Explanation:
Lord Curzon served as Governor-General and Viceroy of India from 6 January 1899 to 18 November 1905. The MacDonnell Commission was appointed by Lord Curzon in 1901 and it submitted its report in the same year. Lord Curzon set up a Police Commission under Sir Andrew Frazer in 1902-03. The partition of the undivided Bengal Presidency in 1905 was one of Curzon’s most criticized moves, which triggered widespread opposition not only in Bengal but across India, and gave impetus to the freedom movement.
