Nehru Report

The Nehru Report was created in response to Lord Birkenhead's challenge for Indians to propose a constitution after the failure of the Simon Commission. It suggested ending separate electorates and reducing Muslim representation, which led to significant backlash from Muslim leaders, including Quaid-e-Azam, who declared a separation of paths for Hindus and Muslims. The report ultimately highlighted the growing divide between the communities and set the stage for the demand for a separate Islamic state, culminating in the creation of Pakistan.

these insulting conditions”

Comments of Quaid-e-Azam.

Quaid-e-Azam on 22dec,1928 at time a failure of Calcutta conversation and


due to stubbornness commented on Nehru report “Form now the paths of
Hindu and Muslims are separate”.
In short all muslim leaders expressed great dislike to the nehru report but it
did not have any effect on hindus.

Comments.

From nehru report 2 things were clear, firstly that hindus are severe enemies
of muslims and do not want to progress of muslims. Secondly, Hindus were
the breaker of promise and this is why Quaid-e-Azam answered nehru report
on 25 march 1929 by the 14 points, where as next year he gave the idea of
seprate Islamic state which led to the creation of Pakistan .
