    “Indian National Congress always claimed to be representative of all the segments of


    Indian society”; Keeping in view of this statement, critically evaluate the emergence of All
    India Muslim League as a counterforce. Justify your answer with five valid points.
    Answer:

    1. The All-India Muslim League also played a major role in the success of the Pakistan
    Movement. The League's demand for a separate homeland for the Muslims of India was
    instrumental in the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

    2. The All-India Muslim League was formed in 1906 and was the first political party for the
    Muslim community in India. The party sought to ensure the rights of the Muslim minority in
    India and safeguard the interests of the Muslim community.

    3. The All-India Muslim League was a significant force behind the demand for separate
    electorates and representation for the Muslim community in India. This was necessary for the
    Muslim community to be adequately represented in the government and to ensure that their
    interests were safeguarded.

    4. The emergence of the All India Muslim League as a counterforce to the Indian National
    Congress was a direct consequence of the failure of the Indian National Congress to represent the
    Muslim community adequately. The Congress had been dominated by Hindu leaders and had
    done little to address the issues of communal harmony and the rights of the Muslim minority.

    5. The All India Muslim League was instrumental in uniting the Muslim political forces in India
    and in negotiating with the British Government for the rights of Muslims. It also played a crucial
    role in forming the Government of India Act 1935, which provided for forming the Central
    Legislative Assembly with separate electorates for Muslims and Hindus.

    What socio-political contributions of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan made him a ‘saviour’ of the
    Muslims of Sub-continent amid British Raj? Explain your answer with five relevant points.
    Answer:

    Sir Syed Ahmad Khan is widely regarded as the ‘saviour’ of the Muslims of the Sub-continent
    amid British Raj. His contribution to the socio-political development of the community was
    immense. Here are five of the contributions that earned him this title:
    1. Educational Reforms: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan pioneered educational reforms in the Muslim
    community, setting up several institutions, such as the Aligarh Muslim University in 1875, to
    promote modern education. He believed that education was the key to the upliftment of Muslims.

    2. Social Reforms: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was a social reformer who actively promoted the idea
    of women’s education and fought against the practice of purdah. He was a great believer in the
    rights of women and advocated for their emancipation.

    3. Promotion of Nationalism: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was a great supporter of Indian
    nationalism and fought for the unity of the Hindus and Muslims of the Sub-continent. He was
    one of the earliest proponents of the two-nation theory and worked tirelessly for the
    establishment of Muslim rights in India.

    4. Founding of the Aligarh Muslim University: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan founded the Aligarh
    Muslim University in 1875. This institution was the first of its kind in the Indian subcontinent. It
    was established with the objective of providing education in science, technology, and humanities
    to the Muslim community. The university is still regarded as a leading institution in India.

    5. Establishing the Scientific Society: Sir Syed Ahmad Khan founded the Scientific Society in
    1863 to promote the use of modern scientific knowledge among Muslims. The society published
    books and journals to spread scientific knowledge among the community.
