Solution

By this Act, the British tried to introduce equality between British and Indian judges in India. This was resented by the British and they started a Defence Association to defend their special privileges. This reaction provoked counter-agitation by educated Indians. The government ultimately withdrew the bill. The event highlighted the racist attitude of the British in India.
