Question

What was the purpose with which Sir William Wedderburn and W. S. Caine had set up the Indian Parliamentary Committee in 1893?

Accepted Answer

The correct option is A because the Indian Parliamentary Committee was established in 1893 by Sir William Wedderburn and W.S. Caine to act as a pressure group within the British House of Commons. Its primary objective was to lobby and agitate for political and administrative reforms in India by drawing the attention of British lawmakers to Indian grievances. At that time, the focus of the Indian National Congress and its British allies was on constitutional reforms and better governance rather than absolute independence. By coordinating with sympathetic Members of Parliament, the committee aimed to influence British policy and ensure that Indian interests were represented during legislative debates in London.
