(December 1916), agreement made by the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League and adopted by the Congress at its Lucknow session on December 29 and by the league on Dec. 31, 1916. The meeting at Lucknow marked the reunion of the moderate and radical wings of the Congress and was dominated by B.G. Tilak, the Marāthā leader. This session and the pact that came from it marked nationalist beginnings that resulted in the Noncooperation Movement of Mohandas Gandhi, 1920-22. The pact dealt both with the structure of the government of India and with the relation of the Hindu and Muslim communities.

Why was the Lucknow Pact signed?

[Muslims' New Strategy] When Bengal was partitioned in 1905, Hindus reacted against the decision and they went on violent protests and boycotts of British goods. On the other hand, the Muslims remained loyal to the British rule. The British could not sustain the pressure of demonstrations and reversed the decision of partition in 1911. This was a betrayal to the Muslims' loyalty. They realized the British rulers could no longer be trusted. Now they had to devise a new strategy for achieving their goals. They wanted to turn towards the demand of self-rule but they needed constitutional protection - separate electorate and provincial autonomy - from Hindus after the British would leave India. Muslim League, therefore, signed the Lucknow Pact in 1916 in which Congress agreed on granting the Muslims 1/3 reserved seats in the central legislative council.[Jinnah's Role] At the time of the pact, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was an idealist who believed that Hindus and Muslims could work together. He wanted that all religious groups should live together in harmony. He was a strong supporter of Hindu-Muslim unity. He believed that joint demands would put more pressure on the British. Therefore he persuaded the Congress and the Muslim League for the Lucknow Pact in 1916. He believed that this pact would lead to united Indian nation.(Note: Mr. Jinnah became realist after Nehru Report in 1929 who then believed in the two-nation theory).[Joint Demand] Congress was keen to gain the support of Muslim League for its demand of self-rule in India. It hoped that it would be difficult for the British to reject the joint demand of self-rule for longer time. Therefore, it was ready to give concessions to Muslim League for its own objective of home-rule. That is why Congress went into Lucknow Pact with Muslim League in 1916.


What political progress did Muslims make between 1913 and 1919?

Lots. In Turkey and the Middle East, the period saw the growth of national aspirations in place of traditional imperial or local identifications, including the Arab Revolt of 1916-18 and the emergence in 1919 of the Kemalist movement in Turkey and the Wafd in Egypt. Afghanistan won its independence, also in 1919. In India the Lucknow Pact (1916) achieved Hindu-Muslim unity for a time in seeking progress toward self-government. In Indonesia the Sarekat Islam led similar demands for a greater political voice.

Importance of lacknow pact?

the Lucknow pact was a significant moment in the movement of self rule. it was the first time that the Hindus and Muslims made a joint demand for political reform to the British. this was the first time Hindus accepted that partition would be necessary in any self governing India. Muslims also recognized that if they worked with congress that they had greater chance of protecting their rights. the belief grew among the people that home rule (self government) was possible. the pact made Hindu-Muslim unity more stronger.
