Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
(A) The Lucknow Pact — this matches (IV) 1916. The Lucknow Pact of December 1916 was an understanding between the Congress and the Muslim League, in which the Congress accepted separate electorates.
(B) Garm Hawa — this matches (I) Film on Partition. Its protagonist says that communal discord happened even before 1947 but had never led to the uprooting of millions from their homes.
(C) The Hindu Mahasabha — this matches (II) 1915. Founded in 1915, it was a Hindu party that remained confined to North India and sought to define Hindu identity in opposition to Muslim identity.
(D) The Muslim League — this matches (III) 1906. Initially floated in Dhaka in 1906, it was quickly taken over by the U.P.-based Muslim elite.
Note: The chapter ‘Understanding Partition’ was there in the pre-rationalised NCERT and has been deleted from subsequent editions of NCERT.
NCERT (Pre-rationalised): “3.1 Culminating point of a long history? … Yet it would be incorrect to see Partition as the outcome of a simple unfolding of communal tensions. As the protagonist of Garm Hawa, a film on Partition, puts it, ‘Communal discord happened even before 1947 but it had never led to the uprooting of millions from their homes’. Partition was a qualitatively different phenomenon from earlier communal politics, and to understand it we need to look carefully at the events of the last decade of British rule.”
