yeah the reasons are completely correct
however the warm welcome point is not correct because it wasnt till 1612 that they were allowed to begin trade by shah jehan when however they had come to india in 1608.!!

1) failure in east indies
2) Britain was going through industrialization and needed raw materials for its industries. These raw materials were abundant in India.
3) At the time, India was in shambles. There was no strong leadership and no unity among the different groups. EIC could exploit this and expand its control.

These are my reasons.

Successes of Indian resistance:
- Aurangzeb defeated the EIC in 1691 when they were suspected of issuing their own coins and currency and not paying taxes. They were also heavily fined.
- Tipu Sultan fought four Anglo-Mysore wars with the British. He defeated them in the first two wars, which greatly curtailed their power.
- Marathas fought three Anglo-Maratha wars with the British. The first two wars ended in peace treaties and the British were unable to expand into Marathan territory.
- In 1756, the French persuaded Siraj-ud-Daulah to attack EIC's Fort William at Calcutta. He did so and defeated the British.

Failures:
- Battle of Plassey
- Battle of Buxar
- Tipu Sultan was defeated in the third and fourth Anglo Maratha wars and was killed in 1799 in the fourth Anglo Maratha war. Thereafter, large parts of the Mysore kingdom were annexed by the British.
- Marathas were defeated in the third Anglo- Maratha war and British expanded into Southern India.
- Annexation of Sindh, NWFP and Punjab.

Can't discuss Islamiyat paper until 24 hours, but yeah question 2 was difficult.

The Lucknow Pact was an agreement on a scheme of constitutional reforms reached between
Congress and the Muslim League. Both realised that co-operation was the only way to get the
British government to agree to self-rule. For the first time Hindus acknowledged that Muslims
had the right to a separate electorate and was therefore seen as a beacon of hope for the future.
The Montague-Chelmsford Reforms continued this hope by establishing legislative councils
in the provinces with a system of dyarchy. It was the first time that government had mentioned
the possibility of self-rule in all internal matters. The Reforms disappointed Congress and
Muslim League as both had hoped for more concessions. Relations between the two remained
cordial since self-rule was still their aim and could only be achieved through cooperation.
However the Nehru Report ended this hope. It was produced in response to demands for future
constitutional reforms and the committee, which drew it up, had minimal Muslim representation.
It reported on the future of the sub-Continent by looking to dominion status with no need for
separate electorates. This totally alienated the Muslims and marked the end of any future
co-operation between them and the Congress. However Jinnah made one final attempt to
preserve the relationship in his 14 Points of 1929 in which he proposed three amendments to
the report. These proposals were met with refusal and marked what he called the parting of
the ways.
this is the mek scheme and theyve jumbled up both the factors :S

I don't think it is jumbled.

These are the unifying factors. (Although the reforms disappointed both the parties, relations remained cordial)

Day of Deliverance decreased Congress popularity among Muslims and increased the support of ML . It united all the Muslims due to the tyranny they had been victim to in the last 2 years. The day strengthened the belief that Hindus would never allow them to live in peace and that it was necessary for the Muslims to have their own state after the British left so it contributed to the creation of Pakistan.

You can write any point as long as you are able to describe, explain and link it to the question. I myself am skipping section 3 and only doing early problems. Though, if you have some spare time, try to only read section 3 till nawaz sharif/benazir.

Reasons for the downfall of Nawaz Sharif:
1. Corruption.
2. Blamed for promoting fundamentalism. Shariat bill.
3. Clash on opinions with the Army.
