                        State two reasons why historians refuse the claim that the British introduced the rule of law in India.     

Answer:

       

It is often believed that it was the British colonialists who introduced the rule of law in India. Historians have refused this claim on several grounds.

Two main reasons are:

(i) The colonial law was arbitrary. It means that any person protesting, criticising the British government could be arrested without due trial.

(ii) The Indian nationalists played a prominent role in the development of the legal sphere in British   India.
