Q:-What were Delhi proposals?
Answer:-There were proposals given by Jinnah in 1927 to a conference of all India muslim league. He gave few demands which he said if would be accepted that he would give up the demand of separate electorates. He said that there should be 1/3rd muslim majority in all central legislature, sindh should be made a province and all the reforms of other provinces should be brought to NWFP and Balochistan.

The Delhi-Muslim Proposals
ReplyDeleteConsidering separate electorates to be the main hindrance in improving Hindu-Muslim relations, Quaid-i-Azam proposed that if the Hindus agreed to provide certain safeguards, the Muslims would give up this demand. Consequently, the proposals were formally approved at a conference held by the Muslims in 1927 at Delhi, and are now called “The Delhi-Muslim Proposals”. Following are the safeguards that were proposed:
Important Muslim leaders on the initiative of the Quaid met in Delhi to discuss constitutional and political issues. The major demands were:
1. Punjab and Bengal: statuary Muslim majorities
2. No Weightage in provinces
3. Sind to be separated from Bombay
4. Constitutional Reforms in NWFP
5. One-third seats for Muslims in Central Legislature
6 On communal issues, no law will be passed if three-fourth members of the concerned community oppose it.
These proposals were to be accepted or rejected in toto. So, in effect, the Muslims agreed to give up the separate electorates in form of the reservation of seats. Unfortunately, the Congress first accepted but later rejected the proposals.
