Why were people dissatisfied with British rule in the 1870s and 1880s?

People were dissatisfied with British rule because of the following reasons:

1. British were exercising control over the resources of India
2. British were attempting to control the lives of its people and until this control ended, India could not be for Indians.
3. The Arms Act was passed in 1878, disallowing Indians from possessing arms.
4. The Vernacular Press Act was also enacted in 1879, in an effort to silence those who were critical of the government.
5. In 1883, there was a furor over the attempt by the government to introduce the Ilbert Bill. The bill provided for the trial of British or European persons by Indians, and sought equality between British and Indian judges in the country.
