Why did Jinnah produce his 14 points of 1929?


Q:-Why did Jinnah produce his 14 points of 1929? [7]

Answer:-

  • Jinnah decided to issue 14 points in response to Nehru Report (1928) which was a scheme of constitution for India. It included several points which were against Muslim interests. The Nehru Report suggested joint electorate (in place of separate electorate for Muslims), unitary form of government (in place of federal form of government) and Hindi as national language for India. These points were clearly against Muslim interests and were not liked by the Muslims.

  • Jinnah suggested three amendments to the Nehru Report but these were rejected by the Congress. It clearly showed that the Congress was not sincere with the Muslims.

  • At the annual meeting of Muslim League in March 1929 at Delhi. Jinnah gave his points in order to safeguard and protect the rights and interests of the Muslims. The 14 Points were the first ever demand of the Muslim League put to the British. These demands covered all aspects of Muslim interests at the time.

  3. The answer's first paragraph is correct. Rest 2 are like blogger wanted to stretch the answer. And also it lacks of point. That is: Simon commission did not accept the demands of Muslim Delhi proposals like provincial status for Sindh and N.W.F.P so then Quaid gave his 14-points.

  4. this is just a stretched version of a single point that is to show concern for muslim rights. Otherwise this answer will get a score of a maximum 4.

  5. Markin Scheme's answer is:

    Why did Jinnah produce his 14 Points in 1929?

    LEVEL 1: Simplistic statement [1]
    It was a good opportunity to set out his demands.
    LEVEL 2: Identifies reasons [2–4]
    They wanted a separate homeland. Muslims were different.
    LEVEL 3: Explains reasons [5–7]
    The 14 Points set out the demands of any future negotiations with either
    Congress or the British Government. The demands were also to form the basis of
    the Muslims demands for a separate homeland. It also convinced them that the
    Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations.

  8. Isn't this too short for a seven marks question? Plus it seems to be the reputation of the first point.

  9. In retaliation to the Nehru Report.
    Because Simon Commission had denied the Delhi Proposals
    To unite all Muslims under one set of Negotiations for all further developments and to set up an aim for them.

  12. I think the answer is a bit in complete. The following answer is better

    Jinnah produced his fourteen points in response to the Nehru Report in 1929. Jinnah wanted seperate Muslim electorates in the Indian Govt. so that muslims could have representation of 1/3 in every decision made by the government of India. Nehru Report said that there should be joint electorates which was automatically declared as against the Muslims of India and they opposed it. That is why Jinnah produced his fourteen points.

    Urdu was the official language of Muslims in India from a very long time and they recognized it a language for the muslims after Arabic. The Nehru Report said that Hindi should be made the official language of India which was rejected by all the Muslims as it was against their choices and instead they wanted Urdu in place of Hindi. This was why Jinnah produced his fourteen points to establish Urdu as the official language.

    Jinnah wanted full provincial autonomy for the muslims while the Nehru Report said that the powers will be with the Central Government. This meant that Hindus were in majority and they would win the elections being the Central Government. This will result in muslims being suppressed and permenently in the minority. To restrict Nehru from doing so, Jinnah produced his 14 points.

    NOTE:- This is a perfect answer to attempt in the CIE Olevels Pakistan Studies Exam! :)
