be made the official language of India. As Urdu was of great cultural importance for Muslims, they
opposed it as it was a threat to their cultural rights.

2) Nehru Report of 1928 suggested that Muslims should not be given separate electorates in the council
as per their population. This angered the Muslims and they opposed Nehru Report as Hindus were going
against Lucknow Pact and were not accepting Muslims as an important community of India.

3) Nehru Report of 1928 also suggested that there should be strong center with limited provincial
autonomy which was opposed by Muslims as their demand of full provincial autonomy was not
accepted. Hence, Nehru Report was rejected as Hindus were trying to dominate Muslims and did not
protect Muslim rights even in Muslim majority areas like Punjab and Bengal.

miniorities , this was also an attack of Hindus on the political rules of Muslims.
