LONG QUESTIONS

Q.1) what do you know about Lahore resolution. What is its importance in Pakistan
movement?
Answer: LAHORE RESOLUTION (PAKISTAN RESOLUTION) 1940:
27th annual session ( ) of all India Muslim League was held from 22 nd -24th march 1940 at
Minto Park ( Now Iqbal Park) Lahore where Minar-e-Pakistan is now situated. Leaders form all
the Muslim majority provinces participated in this meeting. Jinnah rightly expressed his
valuable remarks about the political circumstances of India and the Muslims stand. He said:
“Indian problem is not communal ( ) but international. No Constitution ( ) can work
without recognizing this reality. Muslims of India will not accept a constitution that establishes
a government of the Hindu majority on them. If Hindus and Muslims are placed under one
democratic system ( ), this would mean Hindu Raj”
Thousands of Muslim political workers and more than one lakh people attended this meeting.
On 23rd March Moulvi Fazl-ul-Haq, a prominent Bengali Muslim Leaguer presented Lahore
resolution. All the leaders from Muslim majority provinces strongly supported the resolution.
This resolution was formally approved on 24th March 1940.
Demand of Lahore Resolution:
They decided that the Federal system ( ) under Government of India Act, 1935
was not acceptable for the Muslims of India.
No such constitutional plan would be acceptable to Muslims unless it was framed with
their approval and consent.
Adjacent units ( ) where Muslims are in majority, as in Northwest and East should
be grouped as Independent States where they will be autonomous ( ) and
sovereign ( ).
Protection of minorities ( ) would be given priority.
Reaction to Lahore Resolution:
On approval of Lahore resolution Hindu leaders strongly opposed the resolution. Hindu
Media gave it the name of “Pakistan Resolution”. Muslim leaders adopted this name.
British government did not give importance Lahore resolution.

Importance of Lahore Resolution in Pakistan movement:
Quaid-e-Azam visited different parts of India and tried to unite all the Muslims. He got
full support form all the other Muslim parties on demand of separate home land for
Muslims of India.
In 1946 in meeting in Delhi Muslims elected representatives demanded a separate
homeland. In this meeting the word “States” in Pakistan Resolution was replaced with
“state”.


th

It defined the future plan of struggle for the establishment of the Muslims state
It also intended ( ) to give importance to the autonomy of the state.
Lahore Resolution remained the ultimate goal ( ) for the Muslim Leagues.

Q.2) Discuss in detail C.R. formula and Gandhi Jinnah talks?
Answer: C.R. FORMULA (1944)
Introduction:
During world war 2nd Congress struggled a lot to get power from British. At this movement
Congress totally ignored League but it was Chakravarti Ragopal Acharia, a Congress leader of
Madras tried to bring together both the parties.
C.R. Formula:
Gopal Acharia was in favor of dialogue with League. He knew that without League, Congress
can’t agree British government to accept any demand. He put up a resolution to Madras
assembly (known as C.R Formula) and Congress was asked to accept demand for Pakistan with
appropriate changes.
Important Points of C.R Formula:
The important points of C.R formula are:
1Muslim League will confirm the demand of Indian libration and will co-operate Congress
for establishment of temporary Government in the interim period.

2) After the war, a commission will determine the Muslim majority districts in North East
and North West. In these areas separation from India will be decided through referendum.
3) In the event of separation a mutual agreement will be made regarding defense,
commerce, communication and other important fields.
Reaction to C.R Formula:
All India Congress openly rejected the C.R formula. Personal attacks were made on Acharia and
he resigned Congress with great protest. Quaid-e-Azam pointed out ambiguities ( ) in the
formula and stated that it is negation of Lahore resolution.
Conclusion:
Inspite of certain flaws ( ), C.R formula is important in the history because for the first time
a Congress leader welcomed Partition of India.

GANDHI -JINNAH TALKS (1944)
In the light of C.R Formula talks were held between Quaid-e- Azam and Ghandi from 9th Sept to
13th Sept, 1944 in Malabar hills, Bombay (Mumbai), the residence ( ) of Quaid. 14 one to
one meetings were held in Malabar and 21(11 by Quaid and 10 by Gandhi) letters were
exchanged but no agreement was made.


th

Causes of Failure of Gandhi-Jinnah Talks
Several causes were responsible for failure of Gandhi Jinnah talks, but following are the most
important
Gandhi was not willing at any cost to accept Indian Muslims as a separate nation. He
stated that if a large number of people (Indians) change their religion (Islam), the
nationality is not changed. But Quaid strongly defended separate nationality of Muslims
because they have there own civilization ( ) and culture ( ).
Gandhi insisted on withdrawal ( ) of British from India first then mutual differences
( ) will be solved .But Quaid not agreed because in this way Muslims would come
under the permanent Hindu majority in India.
Importance of Gandhi Jinnah Talks
Although the negotiation were failed but proved very important for League and Quaid.
It was for the first time that Gandhi negotiated about partition of India.
Many doubts ( ) of Hindus were removed about creation of Pakistan.
It boosted up the image and moral ( ) of League leader, Quaid-a-azam.

Q.3) What is the Cabinet Mission plan? What are its aims and objectives?
Answer: CABINET MISSION PLAN (1946)
After general elections 1946, the British government sent three members of his cabinet ( ).

powers to the Indians.
The mission after its arrival in India started negotiation with Indian Government and then met
with Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Gandhi and Jawahar lal Nehru from Congress and Quaid, Liqat
Ali Khan from Mualim League. Unity of India was the demand of Congress while League
demanded for Pakistan, but both the Parties could not agree upon any formula.
Proposals of Cabinet Mission Plan
Keeping in view the sensitivity of problem, the mission issued it’s on own Plan on May 16, 1946.
Which in commonly called cabinet mission plan? The proposals of this plan can be divided into
two parts:
A) Short Term Proposals
B) Long Term Proposals
It was stated that the party which will accept these proposals will be invited in interim
Government.
A) Short Term Proposals
An interim government will be setup.
All the affairs of state including defense ( ) will be handed over ( ) to Indians.


th

The party which will accept these proposals will be invited to be included in interim
government.
B) Long Term Proposals
All the Provinces will be divided into three groups, namely A, B, C.
o Group (A) will include Hindu majority Provinces i.e. Bombay, Bihar, Madras, Orissa
and united Provinces.
o Group (B) will include Muslims majority Provinces of N.W of India i.e. Punjab, KPK,
Baluchistan and Sindh.
o Group (C) included Muslims majority provinces of N.E of India i.e. Bengal and Assam.
There will be a central Legislature and executive ( ) of all the groups.
If any province desire separation from any group, after ten years will have the right of
separation.

Reaction of Congress and League to the Plan
Though the proposals had no clear claim for Pakistan but League accepted the plan for two
reasons, There was a concept of Pakistan that is “the provinces could be separate from centre
after ten years” and the right to ask for review.
Congress rejected short term proposals and accepted long terms proposals, apart from this
Gandhi and other Congress leaders gave such statements about grouping system in the plan
and limitation of legislative powers (they were ‘free to make any change in the Proposal)
Definitely the League was alarmed by the Congress’ intentions.
Reaction of league to Congress Statements
League was worried that Congress will change the constitution and due its majority in assembly
the concept of Pakistan could be finished in long terms plan.
League called a meeting of Muslims League council on July 29th, 1946. In this meeting a
resolution was passed to with draw the approval of Cabinet Mission Plan. On the appeal of
Quaid-e-Azam, “Yaum-e-Rast Iqdam” was observed on Aug 16th, 1946. Muslims protested ( )
against wrong policies of British Government.
It was a huge protest in which thousands of workers were arrested and sent to jail.

rd
plan of his own (later on called as 3 June Plan) and sent to British Government for approval.

left unknown.

unhappily. It was stated that “Geography, Mountains and the Sea determine India. No human
power can change it”.

Q.5) Discuss the British colonization, its aims and policies?
BRITISH COLONIZATION:
Industrial revolution ( ) started in Europe in . Industrialists started
search for markets outside Europe. They reached India in search of raw material and to export
finished goods to Britain.
It was Sir. Thomas roe who spent some time in the court of Mughal king Jehangir and got some
privileges ( ) from the court of Mughal king for trade in Bangal and increased their trade.


th

They took benefits from mutual indifferences ( ) of Indians, lake of interest of rulers and
bad condition of peace. A part from this, main advantage to the British was modern art and
science while the society of India at that time lake these qualities. They started political
domination ( ) over India and 1757 Nawab Sirajuddaula was defeated in the battle of
Plasy. In southern India they defeated Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan in 1799, finally in 1857 they
defeated the last Mughal king Bahadur Shah Zafar and thus became rulers of India.
AMIS AND POLICIES OF BRITISH COLONIZATION OF INDIA
Administration
British ruled over India due to effective administration. To make the government strong, they
divided India into small groups, provinces and districts. To rule over India, they followed one
policy effectively, “Divide and Rule”. People were left on mercy of land lords ( ) and khan
of that area.
Education
British introduced modern science in India. In 1857, they established three universities, each in
madras, Calcutta and Bombay. With cooperation of local people, schools and colleges were set
up. The education system introduced had several drawbacks ( ). It created:
Only a group to run the government machinery.
Class division, high standard of education for higher class, second and third class
education for middle and lower class people.
A great Gulf ( ) between modern educated people and traditional ( ) religious
scholars.
Economic system
Before British imperialism ( ) in India, India was very prosperous ( ) and had trade
with other countries of the world. But British imperialists controlled the economy of India by:
Imposing ( ) heavy taxes on exports ( ) and extend imports ( ).
Only raw material was exported from India and English manufactured goods were
imported.
British never encouraged industrialization in India. On the other hand, feudal ( ) system
also hinder ( ) development of society.
Racial discrimination
The British imperialism credited racial discrimination ( ) in India. Relationship between
English people and local people was that of ruler and the subject ( ). British had never been
part of Indian society. There social activities remain separate. Separate parks and clubs were
established where entry of Indians was prohibited ( ). This racial discrimination badly
affected the psychology of Indians.


th

Conclusion
The changes brought by British in Indian education, economy, politics and way of life put
negative effect on the people of India. Some of the effects are still existed and observed ( )
in the behavior ( ) of the people of this region.

th

Ministries of interim government
After great struggle of Viceroy Lord Wavell both the parties accepted the plan and were invite
