Achievements of Moderates
The Indian Councils Act of 1892
- The Indian Councils Act of 1892 was the first achievement of the Indian National Congress.
- It had increased the number of “additional members” in the Central Legislative Council i.e., from 10 – 16 from 6-12
- It had also increased the proportion of non-officials – 6 officials and 10 non-officials
- The members were allowed to discuss the budget and criticize the financial policy of the government.
- In the provinces also the number of additional members was increased with additional powers
Limitations
- The officials retained their majority in the council, thus making ineffective the non-official voice.
- The ‘reformed’ Imperial Legislative Council met, during its tenure till 1909, on an average for only thirteen days in a year, and the number of unofficial Indian members present was only five out of twenty-four.
- The budget could not be voted upon, nor could any amendments be made to it.
- Supplementaries could not be asked, nor could answers to any question be discussed.
- The Moderates were able to create a wide national awakening among the people.
- They popularized the ideas of democracy, civil liberties and representative institutions.
