Colonisation Bill
The colonisation bill was passed in the year 1906. This bill was passed after the passing of the Punjab Land Alienation act which had already caused a feeling of discontent among the Elite urban class. The colonisation bill provided for transfer of property of a person after his death to the government if he didn't have any heirs of his own and the Government could sell the property to any public or private developer.This was completely against the social conditions prevailing in the region and hence it was rejected by all the sides.
