Cevap

Muddiman Committee (1924) matches with inquiring into Dyarchy under the 1919 Act; Butler Committee (1927) matches with examining relations between British Paramountcy and Princely States; Sapru Committee (1945) matches with constitutional proposals rejecting partition; Radcliffe Commission (1947) matches with demarcating the boundary lines of Bengal and Punjab.
Each committee is correctly mapped to its historical mandate: the Muddiman Committee reviewed Dyarchy under the GOI Act 1919; the Butler Committee evaluated Paramountcy regarding Princely States; the Sapru Committee sought an undivided constitutional framework; and the Radcliffe Commission established the physical boundaries for Partition in 1947.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the purpose of the Muddiman Committee (1924).
It was set up to evaluate the administrative working of Dyarchy introduced in provinces by the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919.
Official criticism of provincial Dyarchy prompted the British government to review its operational success.
2
Identify the focus of the Butler Committee (1927).
It investigated the legal and political relationship between the British Crown (Paramountcy) and the Princely States of India.
The growing national movement required defining Paramountcy and protecting the rulers' constitutional relationship with the Crown.
3
Analyze the recommendations of the Sapru Committee (1945).
It presented a non-party constitutional report advocating an undivided India with extensive minority rights, firmly rejecting the division of the country.
The committee aimed to resolve political deadlocks prior to the Cabinet Mission.
4
Determine the mandate of the Radcliffe Commission (1947).
It was tasked with drawing the boundary line separating India and Pakistan across Punjab and Bengal based on contiguous majority areas.
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 necessitated rapid demarcation of physical borders.
