Q.why was the government of india act 1935 so important to the future of the subcontinent?(7)
The government of India Act was the last major legislation that was passed by the Brithish government in which they wanted to give some political power in the hands of the indians.Some provincial autonomy was granted which meant that every provincial government was allowed to devise and carry out their wn programmes and be responsible to their own legislature.This was the first time that this had been allowed.
Federal syestem and proper parliamentary system were enforced in India.Provisions for a federal government were also established at the centre for the first time which meant that the princely states could decide to participate politically in affairs which concerned the sub continent.The Centra assembly and the council of state were greatly enlarged and the number of voters were alos increased from 6 million to 30 million.
Perhaps the major reason why the government of india act of 1935 was so important to the future of the subcontinent is that it became the basis of future constitution of both India and Pakistan after independence.The government of pakistan was running on the 1935 act(with a few amendments) till 1956 when the first constitution of the country was enforced.

Q.Why did jinnah produce his 14 points? (7)
Jinnah decided to issue his 14 points in response to the nehru report(1928) which was a scheme of constitution for india.It included several points which were against Muslim interest.The Nehru report suggested joint electorates(instead of seaparate electorate for muslims),unitary form of government(in place of federal form of government) and Hindi to be declared as the national language for india.These points were clearly against muslim interests because of which they were against the nehru report.
Jinnah suggested three amendments(i.e 1/3 seats in the Central Assembly for Muslims) to the nehru report which were all rejected by the conress.He was also heckled bby some hindu representatives and this had a lasting effect.It was at this occasion that Jinnah said that,"It was the parting of the ways".
Therefore Jinnah put forward his 14 points to protect the political rights and interests of the muslims.These points were quite comprehensive and covered all aspects of muslim demands of that time.Jinnah thought that it was the correct time to do so because the congress was pressing for the implementation of the Nehru Report.
If someone could write a better ,well structured answer that could score 7/7 marks.....PLEASE DO! It would be appreciated
