am making this thread only for pak studies as no one care to check da thread so here is my doubt

(b) Why was Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal an important influence on the struggle for a separate
homeland for Pakistan? [7]

(b) Allama IMuhammad Iqbal was a great influence on the struggle for a seperate homeland for Muslims of the sub-continent. He expressed the idea of a seperate homeland in his Allahabad Address in 1930. He stressed that Muslims are a seperate nation and they should they should keep their cultural and religious identity. Allama Iqbal strongly supported the two nation theory and said that there was no possibility of peace in the sub-continent unless Muslims were recognised as a seperate nation. He explained that since Islam is a complete code of life and guides the Muslims in every field, therefore Muslims in India needed a home land where they could freely profess their religion and mould their lives in accordance with the principles of Islam.
Thus Iqbal's views helped the Muslims to determine a line of action and work out a definite programme in order to achiene the goal of a seperate homeland.Iqbal's importance lies in the fact it was the first time that the idea of a seperate Muslim state wasexpressed from Muslim League platform.The Lahore Resolution of 1940was in fact based upon the ideas expressed in the Allahabad Address of 1930. Allama Iqbal's influence and contribution to the ideology of Pakistan cannot be underestimated.
In Lahore Resolution of 1940 the muslims demanded a separate homeland which was the basis of the views of Allama Iqbal in his address of Allahabad

(c) Was the Simla Conference of 1945 the most important factor during the 1940s leading to the
partition of the sub-continent in 1947? Give reasons for your answer. [14]

(c) The Viceroy Lord Wavell called the Simla Conference (1945) in June 1945 just at the end of World War 2. The Viceroy wanted to establish an Executive Council in which all subjects expect defence should be given to Indians. He proposed that equal number of Hindu and Muslim members would be included in the Executive Council. For the first time the important portfolios of foriegn affairs, finance and interior would be held by Indians.
The Congress objected to the idea of equal number of Hindus and Muslims, and desired that one Muslim seat should be given to Congress because there were many Muslims in the Congress party.
Quaid-e-Azam took a firm stand and explained that Muslim League, being the sole representative party of Muslims of India, had the right to nominate all Muslim members. The conference failed on the crucial point of method of selection. But it was clear that the point of 'partition of India' was not on the agenda of the Simla Conference. The Simla Conference ended without achieving anything.
The idea of the partition of India was given in the plan of Cabinet Mission which visited India in 1946. In its long term plan the provinces were divided into 3 groups on the basis of Hindu and Muslim majority population. It was stated that any group or province could opt of the constitution if the scheme did not work. Muslim League initially accepted the plan because the possibility of the creation of a seperate homeland for Muslims existed there. The Cabinet Mission Plan also failed because the Congress gave its own interpretation to the plan saying that the Central Government (where Congress would be a majority) could alter the plan.
Therefore it is clear that the Simla Conference had nothing to do with the partition of the sub-continent. It was the Cabinet Mission plan which contained the idea of seperating the Hindu and Muslim majority provinces.

is it right or do we have to add points :)

Dude the points u have mentioned are perfect but the only think that u alwayz need to remember is format becauze u have to make it clear to the examiner that u have explained exactly 3 reasons in the answer. You can do this by explaining three reasons in seperate 3 paragraphs,which shuld start from words like FIRSTLY, SECONDLY,THIRDLY,MOREOVER,FUTHERMORE

This is it to make it clear to examiner that u are a capable student and know how to answer a question


Hit like if this helps

Dont mind plz but according to me the answer is wrong becauze here in this question u have to explain at least 5-7 factors or events with examples.IN this answer u have just mentioned about Simla conference and cabinet mission plan while there were many important events such as Pakistan resolution ,Quit india resolution
Moreover u have explained about Simla conference more as compared to others which u have said unimportant in conclusion.THe best idea is to explain the one more which u are supporting at the end e,g Cabinet mission plan
Lastly in concluding paragraph, u need to justify the point as well rather than just telling what u believe

I hope u get it
:D

Yar i cant the whole answers for u but i can help u in the points:

(b) Why was Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal an important influence on the struggle for a separate
homeland for Pakistan? [7]
1 He expressed the idea of a seperate homeland in his Allahabad Address in 1930.(explain it in 5- 6 line
2 In Lahore Resolution of 1940 the muslims demanded a separate homeland which was the basis of the views of Allama Iqbal in his address of Allahabad
3 His poetry influence on muslims

You can find more points in book cz i dont remember anything now.However,i can give u the idea how to attempt the answers.dont start with introductry paragraphs like u have done here and most importanly dont copy the exact answers from redspot becauze they are wrong( this answer is written from redspot i guess).Make three paragraphs

(c) Was the Simla Conference of 1945 the most important factor during the 1940s leading to the
partition of the sub-continent in 1947? Give reasons for your answer. [14]

1 Simla conference (5-6 lines)
2 pakistan resolution (10 lines)
3 crips mission and quit india movement(10 lines)
4 Gandhi jinnah talks (10 lines)
5 Cabiinet mission plan( with full analytical detail)
6 Conclusion(personal view)

Just remember that u should have more focus on analysis rather than description of points or any other matter in the topic e.g just give 3- 4 lines of what happened in GAndhi talk and remaining should be complete analysis its effects on pakistan movement. Description should always be avoided

I hope u get it
