Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
During the 1870s and 1880s, there was discontent among the people with British rule.
Because of the following factors, the populace was unhappy with British authority throughout the 1870s and 1880s:

Indian resources and people's daily life were under the British government's authority.

Indians could not own weapons under the Arms Act, passed in 1878.

Also enacted in 1878 was the Vernacular Press Act. If a newspaper published something that the government deemed "objectionable," it may be forced to give up all of its assets, including its printing presses, under this Act.

The government's attempt to enact the Ilbert Bill in 1883 caused a commotion. The bill called for the equal treatment of British and European judges throughout the nation and the provision for British or European citizens to be tried by Indian judges. The government withdrew the bill due to white opposition, which infuriated the Indians.
