Consider the following statements. 1. Jinnah objected to C Rajagopala...
The correct answer is option 'A' - only statement 1 is correct. Let's discuss each statement in detail:
1. Jinnah objected to C Rajagopalachari formula because he wanted the Congress to accept the two Nation theory
This statement is correct. C Rajagopalachari, also known as Rajaji, proposed a formula in 1944 which aimed to resolve the political deadlock between the Congress and the Muslim League. The formula suggested that the Congress should agree to the Muslim League's demand for the creation of a separate Muslim-majority state, provided that the Muslim-majority provinces of Punjab, Bengal, and Sindh voted for it in a referendum.
However, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the Muslim League, objected to this formula. Jinnah believed in the Two-Nation Theory, which argued that Hindus and Muslims were separate nations and could not live together in a united India. Jinnah wanted the Congress to accept the Two-Nation Theory and agree to the creation of a separate Muslim state without any conditions. Since the Rajagopalachari formula did not fully address Jinnah's demand, he rejected it.
2. Hindu leaders led by Veer Savarkar cooperated with C Rajagopalachari to prepare his formula
This statement is incorrect. There is no historical evidence to suggest that Hindu leaders, led by Veer Savarkar or anyone else, cooperated with C Rajagopalachari to prepare his formula. It is important to note that Veer Savarkar was a prominent Hindu nationalist leader who advocated for the concept of Hindutva, which aimed to define Indian culture in Hindu terms. Savarkar did not have a favorable view of the Muslim League's demand for a separate Muslim state and did not actively cooperate with Rajagopalachari in formulating his formula.
In summary, statement 1 is correct as Jinnah objected to the Rajagopalachari formula due to his insistence on the acceptance of the Two-Nation Theory. Statement 2 is incorrect as there is no evidence of Hindu leaders, including Veer Savarkar, cooperating with Rajagopalachari in preparing his formula. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - only statement 1 is correct.
