| MUQADDAS MAQSUD | MS | CONFLICTS OF ALL INDIA MUSLIM LEAGUE AND INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (1935-1947) The Indian National Congress set up in the last phase of the nineteenth Century with an adage ofspeaking to every one of the groups occupying Sub-Continent. Be that as it may, around then, theMuslims kept themselves detached from the Politics of Sub-landmass and consequently, Congressdid not draw much consideration from Muslims. The essential purpose for the unit of theMuslims from governmental issues was the direction of the establishing father of MuslimNationalism, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who exhorted the Muslim Community to be impassivetowards the Congress Party. Along these lines, the Muslims responded likewise. A Congressstudent of history, Pita Bhai Sitaramiya had affirmed this reality that in spite of the enthusiasticinterests from Muslim Congress Presidents like Badar-ud-Din Tayyab JI, the Muslims when allis said in done did not join the Congress Party. Be that as it may, when the Muslims werediscouraged because of various reasons, their pioneers like M.A Jinnah prompted the Muslims tocome nearer to Congress Party. | 2015 |
