The term Local Self Government has been used in those countries which were :

  • A.Developing countries
  • B.Developed countries
  • C.Under the colonial rule
  • D.Poor countries

Answer: C

The term was used in countries that were under the colonial rule.

In Britain and the United States the institutions are simply called local government. 'Local self-government' was the expression used in British India, as in Lord Ripon's resolution of 1882, and in other colonies, because there the point was that local people would be allowed some share in governing their own affairs under an alien central government.

The word 'self' marks that colonial context. The term is not tied to whether a country is developing, developed or poor, so the other three options do not explain its use.
