I Azam Fourteen Points 1929
Q. Why did Jinnah give his fourteen points in 1929?
In 1929 Muslim League leaders met at
Delhi and M.A. Jinnah presented his fourteen points. These points were not only
for the demands of Muslims but in general presented such general rules which
could protect all the communities of India. These points were presented as an
answer to the Nehru Report which was a biased report against Muslims. It
appeared now that Hindu Muslim cooperation was going to end.
Jinnah give his fourteen points as he wanted to voice the real demands of Muslims and for the making of such future laws which could satisfy Muslim community. in result of all parties conference Nehru report demanded everything only in favor of Hindus and rejected all those demands which could help Muslims to get a respectable status. Nehru demanded joint electorate system, Hindi as national language, unitary form of govt, dominion status to give all authority in the hands of dominating community which were Hindus etc. these were clearly showing that Hindus wanted to get full authority for themselves and all other communities under them. there was no contribution offered for any other community in India and it was totally against two nation theory that is why there was the need to present Muslim point of view so fourteen points were given by Quaid.
Jinnah suggested amendments in the Nehru report but those were rejected by congress. it clearly showed that congress was not sincere with Muslims. that is why Muslim leaders jointly decided to leave congress point of view in the form of Nehru report and emphasize upon two nation theory, separate electorate system,share of 1/3rd seats in the law making council and voice of Muslims religious liberty. that is why fourteen points were given. Jinnah's point not only represented Muslim community protection but also the political, religious, social and cultural rights of all the communities in India. it was a solid way to present Muslim ideology to the British govt at the proper time of law making.
