Answer
The Ilbert bill controversy took place under the viceroyalty of Lord Ripon. This bill challenged the racial superiority of Europeans in India by proposing to provide for the trial of British or European persons by Indians. By this Act, the British tried to introduce equality between British and Indian judges in India.
Ilbert bill was resented by the British and they started a Defence Association to defend their special privileges. So, the government ultimately withdrew the Bill.
