They have not mentioned any reasons why NOT, as it was completely justified from the Muslims' point of view! The only objections were raised by the Congress, as they were offended by this, and Nehru commented that '' the Congress and the League now seem to agree on very little.''

Hope i cud help ya!

yes there were many problems.. but the question isnt about whether the Day of Deliverance achieved anything. The celebration was, however, criticized about being ''divisve'', but that it. In the textbook also, it is shown as being justified.

As per my knowledge, it was ONLY celebrated by the Muslim League. And according to 2 textbooks and study guides, it was completely justified for the Muslims.

take for example there are five people, me being one of them, and i am the minority, and i am being ruled unjustly. one of them quits/looses power/not able to ruler annymore, i will be happy and celebrate a day of happiness, it being justified as the harshness was lesser than before, but it would be unjustified as i still have three more people who are unjust to me.

 

[mercedes008]

Take the same for Muslims, it was justified as they were now free from the tyranities of congress, but problems still remain, relations between the two parties became irreconcilable, chance of future united india ruined, india only left cus britain was at war otherwise it would continue its cruelties. did u get my point?

Agree to ur explanation! but does this fit in the question of Day of Deliverance? keeping in mind that there was no other rival party apart from the Congress?
i read the answer for this question in Nov 2009 paper, Q3c.. The answer is completely positive, there is no mention of being unjustified.
As the answer i have studied has been approved by a former examiner, i trust it to be correct and that why i'm sharing it with you. Final decision lies with you! whatever you decide, i wish you best of luck!

Justified
The Day of Deliverance was celebrated because Congress Rule had been
hated due to the atrocities committed against the Muslims. Bande Matram, a
song in which degrading remarks were made against Muslims, was adopted
as the national anthem and had to be sung at the beginning of each day.
Some Muslims were abused and killed by Hindus. Hindi was enforced as the
official language and organised attacks were made on Muslim worshippers in
mosques. The Wardha Scheme was imposed on Muslims. Under this
scheme, students had to bow before Gandhi’s picture each day. Muslims saw
this as an attempt to convert them to Hinduism.
Not justified
The unity between the Muslim League and the Congress became
irreconcilable and the chance of a future united India even less likely.
Congress had resigned partly because Britain stated that India was at war with
Germany. Therefore the ML were able to celebrate because Britain was
probably more concerned with the war than the future of India.

Therefore it was justified

@Ella_jan: Actually the question in the past paper is: "Do you agree that the celebration of the ‘Day of Deliverance’ in 1939 was justified? Give reasons for your answer."
We have to provide two sides to the argument and show how it was justified and how it was not.
In the examiner report it says: "As a result a top Level 3 mark was achieved by most of these candidates but very few achieved a Level 4 mark simply because they failed to consider issues on the other side of the argument. Whilst it is accepted that this subject is potentially an emotive one, nevertheless as historians we should be prepared to consider more than one side of an argument". So you can't just write that it was justified, you have to delve into another part of the argument.

@Hum199: That is what i already know. The problem is that i don't understand it. I have also read the marking scheme already.

By the way, I appreciate all of you trying to help me out.

For the other side, how about forming a paragraph from the reasons listed in the marking scheme; something like
'' On the other hand, the expression of happiness at the Congress' resignation showed that Hindu-Muslim unity had hit rock-bottom. The people of India were split, and the vision of a united India against British ended. The celebrations offended many Hindus and the Congress leaders, which sparked riots and communal violence. However, many visions of the Muslim League were fulfilled on the day of Deliverance, and thus they paid little heed to the criticizm of various leaders who had titled the celebrations as ''divisive''.''

The Day of Deliverance was made by the Muslim League on the end of Congress rule. As we know how bad the congress rule was for Muslim.

There were many reforms that were made by Congress like they introduced Bande Matram. In Bande Matram there was a song which clearly hit the feelings of Muslims and everyone had to sing it before starting their work in offices.

Wardha scheme was also one of the reform that was introduced during the Congress rule, according to this, students had to bow before the picture of Gandhi which was hung in every school irrespective of their religion. And finally they also made the Hindi language as the medium of the education.

These reforms were bitterly opposed by Muslims and finally they celebrated the day of deliverance in 1939 when the Congress rule was ended.

The day of deliverance effected the day of deliverance badly though it was the right of Muslims to celebrate that day.

In my opinion, the celebration of the day of deliverance was justified as the Muslims were freed from the Congress Tyranny.


I think this type of answer is required in this question.
Correct me if i did mistake.
Hope this helps u
