Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Improve the relationship between the Government of India and the Indian States.
The Butler (Indian States) Committee of 1927 was set up to ‘investigate and clarify the relationship between the Paramount Power and the Indian States’ so as to improve relations between the Government of India and the princely states; it had nothing to do with division of jurisdictions, powers of the Secretary of State or press censorship. Therefore option (d) is correct. ([edukemy.com](https://edukemy.com/blog/upsc-prelims-2017-question-26/?utm_source=openai))
