Read the passage and answer the questions:

As the demand for representation grew, the British had been forced to introduce a series of constitutional reforms. A number of Acts were passed (1909, 1919, and 1935), gradually enlarging the space for Indian participation in provincial governments. The executive was made partly responsible to the provincial legislature in 1919, and almost entirely so under the Government of India Act of 1935.

Which of the following statement is incorrect?

Statement A- All Muslims supported the demand for separate electorates.
Statement B- By 1949, most Muslim members of the Constituent Assembly agreed that separate electorates were against the interests of minorities.

Only statement A is incorrect.

The correct answer is Option 1 - Only statement A is incorrect.

Statement A- All Muslims supported the demand for separate electorates. (incorrect)
Statement B- By 1949, most Muslim members of the Constituent Assembly agreed that separate electorates were against the interests of minorities.

Not all Muslims supported the demand for separate electorates. Begum Aizaas Rasul, for instance, felt that separate electorates were e self-destructive since they isolated the minorities from the majority. By 1949, most Muslim members of the Constituent Assembly were agreed that separate electorates were against the interests of the minorities. Instead, Muslims needed to take an active part in the democratic process to ensure that they had a decisive voice in the political system.
