Guyz I will be glad if anyone can review and mark my answer, I will be Damn Happy to see how I stand!
It is Q3 from MJ 2012
1. Read the source below carefully to answer question (a)
Allama Iqbal was a politician who believed in the need for Muslims to struggle for the establishment of a separate country for themselves. He believed that Hindus and Muslims were two nations who should have separate states. Chaudri Rehmat Ali also rose to prominence at this time.
(a) Who was Chaudhry Rehmat Ali [4]
(b) Why the Cripps Mission of 1942 failed [7]
(c) ‘The main reason why Congress rule (1937–1939) was so hated was because of the introduction of the Wardha Scheme.’ Do you agree? Explain your answer [14]
(a) Chaudhry Rehmat Ali was born in 1895. He studied in Govt. College Lahore, and Practiced Law in England. He also attended Round-Table Conference in 1929-1932. Since 1930s his point of view was sovereign homeland for Muslims of the ‘British-India’, which was quite advanced point at that time, even Jinnah were not ready for that. In 1933, Chaudhry Rehmat Ali wrote pamphlet ‘Now or Never’, which also is credited for containing the name ‘Pakistan’.
(b) An attempt by British Govt. to take the support of Indians in World War II was shown in form of Cripps Mission in 1942.British Govt. realized they need to protect minority interests. It can be seen that British were ready to make concessions as the mission proposed after world war new constitution would be created by constituent Assembly, for which elections would be held immediately after the War. After war “Indian Union” would be set up, from which there is option to opt out as Independent State. However, this was not quite enough for either Muslims League or Congress. Congress rejected Cripps Mission and demanded full Independence. While Muslim League reject because it contained no reference to ‘Establishment of Pakistan’. It is interesting to see that, however, it contained option to opt out of Indian Union. Gandhi called it ‘Post-Dated Cheque on failing bank’. So, it was quite failing.
(c) After the 1937 election, Congress rose as rulers in British-India. The rule of Congress [1937-39] was so hated that it was known as ‘Congress Tyranny’ among most Muslims. One of the reasons it was called tyranny was Wardha Scheme, which was education scheme, stated, no reference to religious studies in Schools. It also included spinning cotton by Hand and bow the picture of Gandhi, before everyday school starts by every student. Which feared Muslims that it is the attempt to change Muslim kids from religion to Hinduism. Which resulted as anger and demonstrations of Muslims.
However, it is not the only fact that contributes to such resentment of Muslims. Muslims were stopped and irritated during their religious practices by Hindus. Songs were played in loud voice during pray time, they were not allowed to eat cows/beef. And they were given harsh punishments if the slaughter cows.
Not only this, schemes such as Bande Matram was to be sing before everyday assembly start. This caused serious resentment to Muslims. Not only because it was Hindi, also because it was quite threat to Islamic Religion. The Muslims showed serious demonstration all over the country. However, it was not until 1939 when Congress resigned, Muslims celebrated it under the name of ‘Day of Deliverance’.
It can be seen that Wardha Scheme was huge resentment to Muslims, however it was not only factory that contributed to the ‘Congress Tyranny”
