(B) The sikhs
(C) The hindus
(D) The anglo-indians and the indian christians.

Answer 1

Hint: We will discuss the separate electoral system introduced for the first time by the Indian Council Act. A proper analysis of the different voting system reveals that a different voting system was the result of the ‘Divide and Rule’ policy followed by Britain.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss in detail. Government of India act grant land of a large measures of autonomy to provinces of British India provision for establishment of Federation of India, introduction of direct election, partial reorganizing of provinces, establishment of Federal Court and membership of provincial assemblies were altered.The Government of India has the longest act in \[1935\] known as Government of India Act. This act gave the provision of separate electorates for Anglo Indians and Indian Christians.
Provision was extended to Muslims, Sikhs and others. In depressed classes we cannot call the provision of the Government Of India Act \[1935\] as separate voters as provided that - the first people of the oppressed classes, among them, will nominate candidates to run in the constituency. When these people are to be elected, "all voters" (including non-stressed classes) vote to "elect" a leader.
So, the correct answer is option D.

Note: The Government of India Act was an act of parliament of the United Kingdom it received Royal assent it was the longest act of British Parliament ever enacted because of its length this act was divided into two separate acts Government of India Act, government of Burma act each having ten and six schedules respectively.
