Write a comparative Note on Nehru Report and Quaid's Fourteen Points

Following the failure of the Simon Commission, the British government had little choice but to invite the
local people to draught their own constitution. They were aware that the Congress and the Muslim League
were the two major political parties, and that they had sharply opposing viewpoints. As a result, they
instructed them to create a draught of the impending Act that would be acceptable to both Hindus and
Muslims.
The Nehru Report was referred to the Quaid-e-Azam as a Hindu document, but he believed that simply
rejecting it was insufficient. He made the decision to present an alternative Muslim agenda. Quaid-e-
Azam delivered his famous Fourteen Points during this meeting. The All India Muslim League's council
agreed to fourteen of the Quaid's points. A resolution was approved stating that no proposal for the future
constitution of the Government of India would be acceptable to Muslims unless and until the Quaid's
demands in the fourteen points were included.
The Nehru report and 14 points represented the viewpoints of 2 different communities and were as follow
• The report of Nehru calls for a strong central government. Quaid-e-Azam, on the other hand, was a firm
believer in provincial autonomy.
• While Jinnah supported the inclusion of Muslims in the cabinet, Nehru was opposed to it.
The rejection of separate electorates by the Nehru Committee was the greatest blow, but Quaid-e-Azam
was in support of separate Muslim electorates.
• The weightage for minorities was asked in 14 points by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but Nehru did not
compromise with our Quaid in his report.
The Quaid-e-Azam wanted 1/3rd participation for Muslims in the central government, while Nehru
commented in his report on 1/4th representation for Muslims in the central government.
True, the demand for Sindh's separation from Bombay was taken into account in the Nehru Report, as
Jinnah mentions in his 14 points, but the condition of self-economy was also raised.
These were the differenc3es between Nehru report and 14 points.
Write a comprehensive  note on  Pakistan Resolution passed at All India Muslim
League session held on 23  March 1940 at Lahore 
The Lahore Declaration, also known as the Pakistan Declaration, was a political resolution or statement
drafted by the All-India Muslim League's 25-member Working Committee between March 22 and 24,
1940, and formally adopted by the Muslim League membership at its general session on March 23, 1940,
in Lahore. Minto Park, near Badshahi Masjid and Lahore Fort, was the venue for the session. On March
22, the first session was scheduled for roughly three o'clock in the afternoon. People began to arrive early
in the morning, and by the afternoon, the park was completely full. Around 100,000 people attended the
public meeting, according to a ballpark estimate. The Nawab of Mamdot delivered the welcome address
at the start of the sessionAfter that, there was a historical discussion. Following it, Quaid-i-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah delivered a momentous speech.
During his address, the Quaid recalled Lala Lajpat Rai's letter to C.R. Das from 1924, in which he stated
that Hindus and Muslims were two independent and distinct nations that could never be combined into an
one nation. "No Hindu can be a nationalist," Quaid said in response to Malik Barkat Ali's declaration that
Lala Lajpat Rai was a "Nationalist Hindu leader." Every Hindu is first and foremost a Hindu."
Within British India, this resolution called for more Muslim autonomy in Muslim dominated states like as
Punjab, Bengal, Sindh, and the NWFP. However, most people interpreted this as a call for a distinct
Muslim state, Pakistan, later on. On the directions of the Working Committee, Maulvi A.K. Fazlul Huq
presented the resolution in Minto Park (now renamed 'Iqbal Park') in Lahore. Bengal's Chief Minister, A.K.
Fazul Haq, moved the historic Lahore Resolution on March 23. The Resolution was divided into five
paragraphs, each of which had only one sentence.
Indeed, the Muslim League's ambitions grew increasingly focused on obtaining an independent
nation-state after the proclamation made in this resolution in 1940.
