Read the excerpt, from a British newspaper, given below and answer the question that follows:

What does the Viceroy propose doing? It is, in a few words, to bind, for the first time in history, the European British subjects of Her Majesty in the interior of India to submit to be tried on criminal charges by a native of the country, provided he belong to the covenanted Civil Service and get the power from Government. Europeans criminally accused have hitherto been able to claim a trial by one of their own countrymen. The right of making this claim is to be taken away.

Which bill is being proposed by the Viceroy to in the above excerpt? What was its implication on the Indian judicial system?

To benefit British industry, British rule pursued a policy of free trade in India. The nationalists were generally concerned about the lack of public investment in agriculture and argued that the British were trying to turn India into a valuable source of raw materials and a consumer of British-manufactured goods to make India an extension of the British economy.
