  • A.Metcalfe
  • B.Lord Ripon
  • C.Lord Hob House
  • D.Mahatma Gandhi

Answer: A

The Panchayats are described as 'little republics' by Sir Charles Metcalfe, who in 1830 wrote that the Indian village communities are little republics, having nearly everything they want within themselves and almost independent of any foreign relations. Lord Ripon is known for local self-government resolution of 1882, Lord Hobhouse for the decentralisation commission, and Mahatma Gandhi for his concept of village swaraj. Metcalfe's description was of the self-governing village communities of north India which he said survived changes of dynasty.
