Why did a Muslim delegation meet the Viceory Lord Minto at Simla in 1905.
Answers
Answer:Simla Deputation organised by the Indian Muslim leaders, met the Governor General and Viceroy lord minto in Simla on 1 October 1906. The aim of the deputation was to win the sympathies of the Raj on their side concerning matters relating to their interests as a community.
The demands the deputation put forward to lord Minto were: (a) employment of Muslims to Civil administration, the military and the Judiciary in sufficient numbers; no competitive examinations should bar employment to the higher posts; (b) preservation of a certain number of seats for Muslims in the municipal and district boards and in the university senate and syndicate; (c) separate election of Muslims to the Provincial council based on their political importance and not on the population ratio; (d) election of a sufficient number of Muslims to the Imperial Legislative council in order to avoid reducing the Muslims to an insignificant minority; and (e) establishment of a Muslim University which would stand as a glory to the religious and cultural life of the Muslims.
In response Lord Minto expressed his indirect support to the principal demand of the Muslim leaders as enunciated in the memorandum, eg, a separate electorate for the Muslims. This showed the success of the deputation. Eventually in 1909 the morley-minto reforms made provisions for a separate electorate for the Muslims of India. With this, the Muslims gained constitutional status as a separate community, which led to the rise of Muslim nationalism and to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
