Question
Assertion (A): As far back as 1885, the Muslim League demanded that there be electedmembers in the legislature with a right to discuss the budget and ask questions.Reason (R): The Government of India Act 1909, allowed for some electedRepresentation.a. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).b. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).c. (A) is true and (R) is false.d. (A) is false and (R) is true
Solution
The correct answer is d. (A) is false and (R) is true.
The assertion (A) is false because the Muslim League was not formed until 1906, and it did not demand elected members in the legislature as far back as 1885.
The reason (R) is true. The Government of India Act 1909, also known as the Morley-Minto Reforms, did allow for some elected representation in the Indian legislature. However, this was not a direct result of demands from the Muslim League, but rather a response to the broader Indian nationalist movement.
