Question

Which of the following factors made leaders in the Muslims League realise that rapprochement with the Congress was desirable?

Options

• Britain’s hostility to Turkey

• Provision of a separate electorate in the Morley-Minto Reforms

• Two-nation Theory of Jinnah

• Drain Theory of Dadabhai Naoroji

Answer 1

Britain’s hostility to Turkey

Explanation:

From about 1910–1913 many Muslim leaders became critical of British policy because Britain sided against Turkey in the Turko‑Italian War and the Balkan Wars; this shift helped make rapprochement with the Congress desirable (leading up to the Lucknow Pact).
