Q1: [B said:Quetion: Why did Jinnah produced his 14 points in 1929? [7] [/B]
Answer: Muhammad Ali Jinnah produced his 14 points in response to the crisis over the Nehru Report of 1928. It was also a golden opportunity for the Quaid to set his demands.
The main objectives of the Nehru Report were to threaten the Muslim interest like they recommended in Nehru Report that no separate electorate for the Muslims, no one-third in the central assembly, no reservation of seats for the Muslims in Punjab and Bengal. Thus the Nehru Report was nothing else then the Congress document and thus totally opposed by Muslims of the sub-continent.
The Hindus under Congress threatened the Government with a disobedience movement if the Nehru report was not implemented into the act by December 31, 1929. This Hindu attitude proved to be a milestone in the freedom movement of the Muslims. It also proved to be a turning point in the life of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. After reading the Nehru Report Quaid-e-Azam tried to get amendments in the Nehru Report in All Party conference in Calcutta, but he did not succeeded. This was the very moment when Jinnah announced a ‘Parting of the ways’. The Muslims wanted a separate homeland as they were different from the Hindus culturally; religiously and politically therefore, in March 1929 Quaid-e-Azam compiled a set of recommendations that greatly influenced Muslim thinking for a better part of the next decade. So in his 14 points Jinnah stated that the safe guard and protection for the rights and interests of the Muslims must be given, the demand of federal form of Government, provincial autonomy, protection of minorities, separate electorates, religious freedom to all and one-third seats for all Muslims and it further demanded that Sind must be separated from Bombay and full provincial status must be given to N.W.F.P and Baluchistan.
These 14 points set out the demands of the Muslims for any future negotiation with either Congress or the British. These 14 points became inspiration for the Muslims of the sub-continent because it convinced that the Hindus and the Muslims were two separate nations.
Q6: The Khilafat Movement was organized by the Ali brothers- Mohammed Ali and Shaukat Ali in protest against the injustices done to Turkey (which had fought against Britain) after the First World War. Turkey was important to the Indian Muslims as the Sultan of Turkey was also the ‘Caliph’ (or Khalifa) and was the head of the Muslims throughout the world. The Khilafat leaders put pressure upon the British government to give better treatment to Turkey. Through this demand, Muslims were drawn into the national movement in large numbers. The movement become a part of the national movement. The Congress leaders joined in the agitation and helped in organizing it throughout the country.The khilafat Movement was launched in 1919 and ended in 1924. Khilaft Movement was flat lined by Hijrat Movement which was declaired by the Molvi brothers and destroyed the Muslims.
A tragic offshoot of the Khilafat Movement was the Hijrat Movement proposed by Jamiyat-al-Ulema-i-Hind. When a land is not safe for Islam, a Muslim has two options; Jihad or Hijrat. Around 925 eminent Muslims signed this fatwa. According to one version, the idea of Hijrat was originated from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Muslim opposed this especially to M.A Jinnah the Muslim leader wanted the Muslims to stay and fight for their cause but In the North West Frontier Province and Sindh, hundreds of families sold their land and property and departed in the direction of the Khyber Pass, to migrate to Afghanistan, a brotherly independent Muslim state. In the month of August alone, some 18,000 Indian Muslims migrated to Afghanistan. Afghanistan, a poor country, was unable to absorb so large an influx of population and sealed its borders. It is difficult to establish who was responsible for misleading such a large number of Muslims.
Q10: Ramachandra Pandurang Tope (1814 - 1859), also known as Tatya Tope (pronounced Toh-pey), was an Indian leader in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Born in village Yeola in Maharashtra, he was the only son of Pandurang Rao Tope and his wife Rukhmabai, an important noble at the court of the Maratha Peshwa Baji Rao II. His father shifted his family with the Peshwa to Bithur where his son became the most intimate friend of the Peshwa's adopted son, Nana Dhondu Pant (known as Nana Sahib) and Maharaja Madhav Singhji. In 1851, when Lord Dalhousie deprived Nana Sahib of his father's pension, Tatya Tope also became a sworn enemy of the British. In May 1857, when the political storm was gaining momentum, he won over the Indian troops of the East India Company, stationed at Kanpur (Cawnpore), established Nana Sahib's authority and became the Commander-in-Chief of his forces.
