In 1927, Quaid-e-Azam and 20 eminent
Muslim Leaders prepared a formula for
Hindu-Muslim unity? This formula is known
as
(a) 14 Points of Quaid
(b) Delhi Proposals
(c) Lucknow Pact
(d) Both B & C
(b) Delhi Proposals
In 1927, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the future founder of Pakistan, and 20 other eminent Muslim leaders prepared a formula for Hindu-Muslim unity. The formula, which was known as the Delhi Proposals, called for a federal government for India with a strong central authority. The proposals also called for separate electorates for Hindus and Muslims, and for a guarantee of Muslim rights in the new constitution.
The Delhi Proposals were rejected by the Indian National Congress, the leading Hindu political party. The Congress argued that the proposals would lead to the creation of two separate nations, one Hindu and one Muslim. The Congress also argued that separate electorates would weaken the unity of India.
The rejection of the Delhi Proposals by the Congress was a major turning point in the history of India. It led to a growing divide between Hindus and Muslims, and it ultimately contributed to the partition of India in 1947.
The Delhi Proposals were a significant attempt to find a solution to the Hindu-Muslim problem in India. However, they were ultimately unsuccessful. The failure of the Delhi Proposals showed that the two communities were simply too divided to live together in one country.
The partition of India was a traumatic event that left a legacy of bitterness and mistrust between Hindus and Muslims. The two communities have yet to fully overcome the divisions that were created in 1947.

The commission recommended that Sindh should be separated from the Bombay presidency and that it should be made a separate province.

The Nehru Report was a response to this challenge. It was drafted by a committee headed by Motilal Nehru, and it proposed a constitution for India that would have given the country Dominion status within the British Empire.

(a) Nehru
(b) Gandhi
(c) Atma Ram
(d) Banerjee
(b) Gandhi
The Civil Disobedience Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 as a nonviolent protest against British rule in India. The movement was launched in response to a number of grievances, including the salt tax, the system of separate electorates, and the lack of self-government for India.
The salt tax was a particularly hated tax, as it was seen as a symbol of British oppression. The system of separate electorates was also seen as discriminatory, as it gave Muslims and other minority groups a separate vote from Hindus. And the lack of self-government meant that Indians had no say in how they were governed.
Gandhi believed that the Civil Disobedience Movement was the only way to achieve independence for India. He argued that nonviolent protest was the most effective way to challenge British rule, and he called on Indians to disobey unjust laws and to suffer the consequences of their disobedience without violence.

The Gandhi-Irwin Pact was a political agreement signed by Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, on 5 March 1931 before the Second Round Table Conference in London. It marked the end of a period of civil disobedience (satyagraha) in India against British rule that Gandhi and his followers had initiated with the Salt March (March–April 1930).
The terms of the pact were as follows:
The British government would withdraw all ordinances and prosecutions against those who had participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement.
The British government would release all political prisoners, except those guilty of violence.
The British government would permit peaceful picketing of liquor and foreign cloth shops.
The British government would restore confiscated properties of the satyagrahis.
The British government would permit free collection or manufacture of salt by persons near the sea-coast.
The British government would lift the ban over the Congress.
The Gandhi-Irwin Pact was a significant step forward in the Indian independence movement. It showed that the British government was willing to negotiate with the Indian National Congress, and it gave the Congress a platform to present its demands. The pact also led to the release of many political prisoners, and it helped to revive the morale of the Indian people.
However, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was not without its critics. Some people felt that Gandhi had made too many concessions to the British government, and they argued that the pact would not lead to real independence. Others felt that the pact was a betrayal of the ideals of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
Despite the criticisms, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was an important step in the Indian independence movement. It helped to pave the way for the Second Round Table Conference, and it showed that the British government was willing to negotiate with the Indian National Congress. The pact also helped to revive the morale of the Indian people, and it gave them hope for a future of independence.

The British government was represented by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and other members of the British Cabinet.
The main purpose of the Second Round Table Conference was to discuss constitutional reforms for India. The Indian delegations presented their demands for self-government, and the British government made a number of concessions. However, the conference was unable to reach a final agreement, and it adjourned on December 1, 1931.

- Which was most sensitive issue before the
Second Round Table Conference?
(a) Hindu-Sikhs Unity
(b) Hindu-Muslim Unity
(c) Hindu-British Unity
(d) Pakistan-British Unity
(d) Hindu-Muslim Unity
The most sensitive issue before the Second Round Table Conference was Hindu-Muslim unity. The Indian National Congress, which represented the majority Hindu population, wanted India to be a secular state with no special privileges for any religion. The Muslim League, which represented the minority Muslim population, wanted a separate state for Muslims, which would later become Pakistan. The British government was also divided on the issue, with some officials supporting the Congress and others supporting the League.
In the end, the Second Round Table Conference was unable to reach a consensus on the issue of Hindu-Muslim unity. The conference adjourned without making any progress on the issue, and it would continue to be a major obstacle to Indian independence for many years to come.
The most sensitive issue before the Second Round Table Conference was the issue of separate electorates. Separate electorates were a system of elections in which voters were divided into different groups, or electorates, based on their religion, caste, or other social group. This system was introduced in India by the British in the late 19th century, and it was used until the independence of India in 1947.
The main purpose of separate electorates was to protect the interests of minority groups. The British believed that if all voters were in the same electorate, the majority group would always win, and the minority groups would be at a disadvantage.
However, separate electorates had a number of negative consequences. They led to increased communalism and division, and they made it more difficult for the different groups in India to work together. They also made it more difficult for women to vote, as they were often excluded from separate electorates.

It was also known as the MacDonald Award, and it was announced after the Round Table Conference (1930–32) and extended the separate electorate to depressed Classes (now known as the Scheduled Caste) and other minorities. The separate electorate was introduced in Indian Councils Act 1909 for Muslims and extended to Sikhs, Indian Christians, Anglo-Indians and Europeans by Government of India Act 1919.
The Award favored the minorities over the Hindus causing consternation and eliciting anger from Gandhi. From the fastness of Yervada Jail he made contact with the Cabinet in London declaring in September 1932 an open fast until death. The reason behind introduction of Communal Award was that Ramsay MacDonald considered himself as ‘a friend of the Indians’ and thus wanted to resolve the issues in India. The Communal Award was announced after the failure of the Second of the Round Table Conferences (India). The Award attracted severe criticism from Mahatma Gandhi.

In 1947, the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two independent dominions, India and Pakistan.

The plan also called for the creation of a Constituent Assembly, which would be responsible for drafting a new constitution for India.
The Wavell Plan was met with mixed reactions. The Indian National Congress (INC) accepted the plan, but the All-India Muslim League (AIML) rejected it. The AIML objected to the fact that the plan did not call for the creation of a separate Muslim state.
