Long Questions
1. Describe congress measures against Muslims during congress ministries in
British India?
Answer:

Congress had formed its ministries in eight provinces. The Muslims


living in these provinces under congress’s rule were subjected to most
inhuman treatment and made to bear the oppressive and tyrannical rule of
congress for two and a half years. Congress adopted every means to
completely obliterate the Muslim population of the provinces under its
rule.

Congress has adopted an unconstitutional method to rule the provinces


and its administration did not conform to the parliamentary system as laid
down in the act of 1935. The congress ministries were not accountable to
the parliament. They received all instructions from the Congress high
command and were answerable to it for all matters. The Congress high
command made and removed the ministers. A parliamentary
subcommittee was set up by Congress to deal with the work of legislatures
in all provinces. The committee was to guide and advise the legislatures in
their functions. It consisted of Maulana Abu-al-Kalam Azad, Ranjendra
Prasad and sardar vallabhai Patel. The provinces were distributed amongst
the three members of the committee, Maulana Azad was given the charge
of Bengal, Madras, central provinces, and Sindh. This subcommittee was
given the charge of Bengal, united provinces, Punjab, and the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, Rajendra Prasad got Bihar Orissa, and Assam. Valla Bhai
Patel was allotted Bombay, Madras, the central provinces, and Sindh. This
sub-committee was given enormous authority to deal with all matters in
the Congress regime was an absolutist rule and was an oligarchy dominated
by Mr. Gandhi.
With the installation of congress ministries in Hindus came out to impose
Hindu nationalism on the Muslims. Congress began its rule by imposing its
will on the Muslim minorities in the provinces under its rule. The Muslims
were forbidden to eat beef. Severe punishments were awarded to those
who slaughtered the mother cow. Every effort was made to humble and
humiliate Islam the religion of Muslims. A systematic policy was framed by
congress to erase Muslim culture. Hindi was enforced as the official
language in all provinces under congress’s rule. Azan was forbidden and
organized attacks were on Muslim worshippers busy in mosques.
If a Muslim has to kill a cow for sacrifice, hundreds of Muslims including
their children and women were killed as a reprisal. Pigs were pushed into
the mosques and Azan was frequently interrupted. If Muslims lodged
complaints with the authorities, the decision was ways against the Muslims
 Bande Matram
It was a song in which degrading verses were used against Muslims
and their religion Islam. The song was written by a Bengali novelist
Bankim Chatterjee in his novel Anadamath and urged all the non-
muslims to wage war against the Muslims in order to strengthen
Hindu Nationalism. Bande Matram was also adapted as a national
anthem and was to be recited before the start of official business
every day.
 Wardha Scheme
The Warda Scheme was the outcome of Gandhi’s philosophy. It
preached Hindu nationalism and principles of non-violence. It aimed
to develop high respect among the young minds for the Hindu heroes
and religious leaders the Wardha and Widdia Mander scheme sought
to isolate the young generation of the Muslims, from their religion,
culture, and civilization. The Muslims therefore, rightly feared that the
education policies introduced under these schemes were completely
segregated from their religion, tradition, and culture and would
subvert all that they loved so much the main objective of this scheme
was to destroy the Muslim culture and secure perpetual domination of
Hindu culture. It aimed at injecting the political ideas of one political
party, the congress, into the minds of the Muslim children.
 Hoisting of three-colored flag
Congress after taking over the government in the provinces
immediately ordered the hoisting of a three-colored flag with the
British union jack to prove that there were only two powers in India
which were the British and the congress.
 Widdia Mander scheme
Another attempt was made to erase the Muslim culture by
introducing a new educational system. The education policy was
known as Widdia Mander Scheme and was meant to convert the
non-Hindus to Hinduism.

 Hindu-Muslim riot:
Hindu Muslim riots were usual during the congress rule. Organized attempts
were made on the honor, property, and lives of the Muslims by indulging in
communal and religious feuds.
 Muslims mass contact campaign:
Congress started a Muslim mass contact campaign. The main objective of this
campaign was to damage the popularity of the Muslim league amongst the
Muslims. It was Nehru’s imagination to destroy the image of the Muslim league.
