Answer 2

The three reasons for the lukewarm response of some

Muslim Organisations to the Civil Disobedience

Movement were:

a. Due to the decline of the non-cooperation Khilafat

movement.

b. They felt alienated from Congress. They felt

that Congress is linked with a Hindu Mahasabha

and their propagandas are Hindu oriented. This

thinking resulted to Hindu-Muslim communal

clashes and riots in different parts of the

country. Thus the distance between these two

communities widened. Their main issue was over

the representation in the future assemblies.

c. In the All Parties Conference in 1928, the demands

of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, for reserved seats in the

central assembly and representation in proportion

to population in the Muslim dominated provinces

like Bengal and Punjab, was strongly opposed by

M.R.Jayakar of Hindu Mahasabha. The Muslims

were very much concerned about their status,

culture and identity as a minority in India.
