The correct answer is Option 4 - The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect. Assertion: Begum Aizaas Rasul was against separate electorates for Muslims. (Correct) Reason: She believed that Non-Muslims can't understand the needs of Muslims. (Incorrect) CORRECTION IN REASON: B. Pocker Bahadur, not, Begum Aizaas Rasul felt the needs of Muslims, could not be properly understood by non-Muslims. B. Pocker Bahadur felt the needs of Muslims, Bahadur felt, could not be properly understood by non-Muslims; nor could a true representative of Muslims be chosen by people who did not belong to that community. Not all Muslims supported the demand for separate electorates. Begum Aizaas Rasul, for instance, felt that separate electorates were 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. |
