• Correct Answer : D

• The recommendations of the Nehru Report were not acceptable to Jinnah. He proposed

certain amendments in the Nehru Report at the All Parties Conference held at Calcutta in

1928 but his demands were not accepted. Jinnah in 1929 gave fourteen points in reaction

to the Nehru Report, which were to become the basis of all future propaganda of the

Muslim League. The demands included:

• Federal Constitution with residual powers to provinces.

• Provincial autonomy.

• No constitutional amendment by the centre without the concurrence of the states

constituting the Indian federation.

• All legislatures and elected bodies to have adequate representation of Muslims in every

province without reducing a majority of Muslims in a province to a minority or equality.

• Adequate representation to Muslims in the services and in self governing bodies.

• One-third Muslim representation in the Central Legislature.

• In any cabinet at the centre or in the provinces, one-third to be Muslims.

• Separate electorates.

• No bill or resolution in any legislature to be passed if three-

fourths of a minority community consider such a bill or

resolution to be against their interests.

• Any territorial redistribution not to affect the Muslim

majority in Punjab, Bengal and NWFP.

• Separation of Sindh from Bombay.

• Constitutional reforms in the NWFP and Baluchistan.

• Full religious freedom to all communities.

• Protection of Muslim rights in religion, culture, education

and language.

• Correct Answer : B

• The Ghadar (Rebellion) Party was established in 1913 in the United

States of America and Canada by Indian revolutionaries. Most of the

members of the party were Punjabi Sikh peasants and ex-soldiers, who

had migrated there in search of livelihood and who faced the full brunt of

racial and economic discrimination. Hence, statement 1 is not correct.

• It was based on Har Dayal plan of action: ‗Do not fight the Americans,

but use the freedom that is available in the US to fight the British; you

will never be treated as equals by the Americans until you are free in your

own land, the root cause of Indian poverty and degradation is British rule

and it must be overthrown, not by petitions but by aimed revolt; carry this

message to the masses and to the soldiers in the Indian Anny; go to India

in large numbers and enlist their support.

• ‘ Har Dayal‘s ideas found immediate acceptance among Bhai Parmanand,

Sohan Singh Bhakna, and Harnam Singh Tundilat'. This led to formation

of Ghadar Party. Hence, statement 3 is correct.

• The ideology of the party was strongly secular. In the words of Sohan

Singh Bhakna: "We were not Sikhs or Punjabis. Our religion was

patriotism." Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
