Which of the following Viceroyalties witnessed the historic passage of the Indian Councils Act of 1892, which introduced the principle of indirect election to legislative councils?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Indian Councils Act of 1892 was enacted during the viceroyalty of Lord Lansdowne, marking a modest beginning of representative governance in India by expanding legislative councils and introducing an indirect election system. Figures like Lord Ripon are instead remembered for local self-government resolutions rather than this specific act.
