    Jinnah’s 14 Points and Nehru Report

    Jinnah’s 14 Points
    1. The territory of India should be federal with residuary powers vested in the provinces.

    2. The Muslim majority provinces should be autonomous and have complete freedom.

    3. All the provinces should be given equal representation in the central legislature.

    4. The representation of Muslims in the central legislature should not be less than one-third.

    5. The Muslim representation in the provincial legislatures should be proportionate to their


    population.

    6. There should be separate electorates for Muslims.

    7. No constitutional amendment should be made without the consent of the Muslim


    representatives.

    8. The rights of the minorities should be protected.

    9. The Muslim community should be granted safeguards regarding their culture, education,
    and religious practices.

    10. The system of governance should ensure that Muslims can govern themselves according
    to their beliefs.

    11. The principles of social justice and equity should be ensured.

    12. The provinces should have a right to legislate on subjects of their own.

    13. The government should promote the economic development of Muslims.

    14. The constitutional arrangements should provide for a just and equitable distribution of
    resources.

    Nehru Report
    The Nehru Report was a proposal for constitutional reform in India, presented in 1928 by a
    committee headed by Motilal Nehru. It aimed to address the demands of Indian nationalists
    and included provisions for self-governance. The key points of the Nehru Report included:

    - Demand for a dominion status for India, similar to that of the self-governing dominions of
    the British Empire.
    - A proposal for a bicameral legislature at the center with equal representation for all
    communities.
    - A guarantee of fundamental rights for individuals.
    - The report was opposed by the Muslim League, leading to Jinnah's 14 Points as a
    counterproposal.
