Study Notes
Section 1: History of Pakistan
- Establishment of Pakistan: This unit covers the important developments in India between 1906-1920 (from the Simla Deputation to the Khilafat Movement) and 1920-1939 (from the Khilafat Movement to the Day of Deliverance), as well as developments from 1940-1947.
- Simla Deputation (1906): The Indian National Congress, formed in 1885, aimed to safeguard the interests of all communities. The partition of Bengal in 1905 caused mistrust among Muslims towards the Congress. A delegation of 35 Muslims, led by Sir Agha Khan, met with Lord Minto (Viceroy of India) to present demands for separate electorates, quotas in government services, Muslim judges in courts, additional seats in legislative assemblies, and university status for the Mohammedan Anglo Oriental (MAO) College.
- Success of the Simla Deputation (1906): The Simla Deputation bridged the gap between Muslims and the British government, boosting Muslim confidence and paving the way for the establishment of the All India Muslim League. Separate electorates were accepted in the Minto-Morley Reforms of 1909.
- The All India Muslim League (1906): The formation of the All India Muslim League was spurred by the Urdu-Hindu Controversy, extremist Hindu organizations, and anti-Muslim policies of the Congress. The goal was to protect the rights of the Muslim community.
- Minto-Morley Reforms (1909): These reforms granted Muslims a separate electorate, increased the membership of legislative councils, and included Indians in the Executive Council of the Viceroy and Provincial Executive Councils. This was a result of the success of the Simla Deputation.
- Lucknow Pact (1916): A historic meeting between the All India Muslim League and the All Indian National Congress resulted in an agreement on separate electorates for Muslims, provincial autonomy, and Muslim representation in the central council.
- Khilafat Movement (1919): The movement sought to safeguard the Khilafat (the position of the Ottoman Caliph) in Turkey and was led by prominent figures like Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Maulana Shokat Ali, and Hakeem Ajmal Khan. The aim was to protect Turkish Khilafat from the Allied forces, Muslim sacred places from disrespect, and territories controlled by Turkey.
- Gandhi's Role in Hindu-Muslim Unity: Gandhi, a prominent Hindu leader, joined the movement, advocating for Hindu-Muslim unity and earning respect from the Muslim community.
- Simon Commission (1927): The British government announced the appointment of a commission to assess the results of the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms and recommend future reforms for Indians.
- Nehru Report (1928): An all-party conference led by Motilal Nehru attempted to prepare unanimous proposals for further reforms, but the interests of the Muslim community were ignored.
- Fourteen Points of Quaid-e-Azam (1929): Responding to the Nehru Report's perceived neglect of Muslim interests, Quaid-e-Azam outlined 14 points, including provincial autonomy, a federal system, and residuary powers vested in provinces.
- Address of Allama Iqbal (1930): Muhammad Iqbal, in his presidential address to the All India Muslim League, advocated the creation of a separate Muslim homeland in India, marking the first explicit call for a separate Muslim state.
- Round Table Conferences (1930-1932): A series of conferences in response to the Nehru Report, where Quaid-e-Azam and other important Muslim leaders urged the British for a separate Muslim state, although their demands weren't fully accommodated.
- Communal Award (1932): This plan proposed separate electorates and weighted representation for minorities, including Muslims, but it was met with rejection by the Muslim League due its negative impact on their representation.
- Government of India Act (1935): The Act introduced a bicameral legislature, a federal system, and divided powers between the centre and provinces, but it failed to satisfy the needs of various sections of Indian society.
- Formation of Congress Ministries (1937-1939): The Congress formed provincial ministries in 8 of India's 11 provinces but faced significant opposition from the Muslim League, which felt threatened by the rise of Congress.
- Lahore Resolution (1940): This momentous occasion in 1940 declared the demand for a separate Muslim state, geographically contiguous and with autonomous sovereignty, in the areas where Muslims were in numerical majority.
- Cripps Mission (1942): A delegation offered dominion status to India following WWII but failed to secure widespread acceptance from the various parties.
- Quit India Movement (1942): A nationalist movement in opposition to British rule, but led to challenges for religious groups and hurt existing alliances.
- Gandhi-Jinnah Talks (1944): Attempts at dialogue failed, hindering efforts to create a unified India.
- Simla Conference (1945): The conference proved unable to accommodate different political views, ultimately failing to determine a suitable solution towards a unified India.
- Elections of 1945-46: Election results demonstrated the Muslim League's rising prominence in the political landscape, solidifying confidence in partition.
- Delhi Convention (1946): The convention demonstrated the consolidation of support for an independent state for Muslims.
- Cabinet Mission Plan (1946): A plan to divide the nation but proved unsatisfactory in determining the final destination and future.
- 3rd June 1947 Plan: This plan outlined provisions for the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan, paving the way for India's independence.
- The Independence Act (1947): Legislation that formally granted independence to India and Pakistan, bringing a conclusion to the British Raj in India.
Role of Political Leaders, Women and Minorities
- Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah: A prominent 20th century Muslim leader, instrumental in the creation of Pakistan, advocating for separate Muslim state.
