Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
The object/objects of Queen Victoria’s Proclamation (1858) were to disclaim any intention to annex the Indian States as the announcement reversed Lord Dalhousie’s pre-war policy of political unification through princely state annexation. It was also to place the Indian administration under the British Crown.
Therefore, statements 1 & 2 are correct. However, it was not to regulate East India Company’s trade with India so statement 3 is wrong.
