what question or rather topics should be prepared in such a short time?
pak affair is giving a tough time, it is not possible to cram all the movements and pact such as KHILAFAT, LUCKNOW PACT CABINET etc,,
any hints,, the paper of 2013 is different pattern.. can we expect the same pattern in 2014? kindly help

Though time is short but nothing is impossible for a willing heart.
Just go through the topics once or twice due to short span of time.keep main theme in your mind then in examination hall just try to be your self explain the main theme with comparison to the conditions of the Muslims.

Moreover every question of PA consist of intro,background,Main theme problems reactions by Muslims Hindus and english then after that your can write current scenarios as well which Muslims are facing then conclusion.That is just a rough idea .

This is my personal thinking and will be the approach in the upcoming exam.This is my first attempt so i have just shared my idea.

Most important thing just control your nerves and remember that,Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE.Just trust your self and have faith in Allah Almighty.

Stay blessed and remember in prayers,
Regards.

One has to complete the prep regardless of the paper pattern. Yet a preparation as per the paper pattern is one of the ways of smart studying. One Trend is the bifurcation between the pre-1947 and post-1947 era. Do one of them thoroughly [without leaving out anything] and you are through.

Point 2: Don't cram or don't take it in terms of cramming power. History starts making sense if you understand things and the reasons behind them.

Let me give you a very brief summary and you can build on that:

(1) Till 1857- The Mughals Rule [although nominally - Only Delhi]- 1857 British take over:
- Impacts on Muslims: A minority that ruled the majority for a long time is certainly made aware of the fact that they are a minority [history is ironical]- Why did the loose power? [causes of Mughal Decline]; Why did the Indian Loose The War of Independence of 1857 [Is it a revolt or war of independence? Causes of this revolt? Reasons for Failures? Legacy of the Revolt] - What should the Muslims do to preserve their status/identity/material well-being- [Aligarh Movement, Deoband Tehrik, Nadva- Aligarh: Non participation in politics, Stress on Education, Cordial Relations with the British; Deoband- revert to Islam to cure the ills; Nadva- Mixture of both]
-With the British- Arrival of British ideals of governance- Congress as a party- Sir Syed opposes it- Democracy, as known to the west, is 1 man 1 vote- can not serve the interests of the Muslims of India- Muslims should not indulge in politics- it is in the nature of political parties to oppose governments in the future- Muslims can't afford to alienate the British- Therefore Study at the moment and don't join any political party
- Partition of Bengal- First decision to attract political attention on a grand scale- Leads to Division- Both in the Congress ranks and the Muslim Elite Ranks- One segment of the Muslim Elite lead a delegation to Simla to meet the Viceroy- Sir Agha Khan- The other segment forms a party in Bengal- All India Muslim League- Remember The Simla Deputation did not even talk about the partition of Bengal - Mass agitation against the partition- it is reverted- Muslims know that "No Bombs, No Boons"
-Muslim League- disposes its pro-British manifesto- Self Rule is aimed now- Many prominent Muslim Congressmen who opposed ML earlier [like Quaid himself] now join the Ranks of AIML- They bring Congress and ML Together- Lucknow Pact is signed- Hindu Muslim Unity era- Khilafat Movement- to protect something that is not Indian in Nature- Gandhi Supports it; Jinnah opposes it- Reason: Don't mix religion in politics- "It will eventually destroy the fabric of unity of the society" Jinnah warned Gandhi- Eventually he proved to be right


This all is a flow- try to work on it on these lines and everything makes sense

For example: Don't Ratta Quaid's 14 points- They are already based on several other factors like Delhi Muslim Proposals, Nehru Report, the reforms carried out earlier in Minto-Morley and Montague Chelmsford so try to understand thing.


This whole process will take roughly 2-3 days

Hindus Apprehensions,
-Economic and Political losses for the Hindu lawyers of West Bengal due to separate High Court.
-Curtailment of the activities of the newspapers owners of Calcutta. Therefore,
Calcutta based Hindu Newspapers especially "BENGALEE" and "AMRITA BAZAR PATRIKA", opposed the partition by tooth and nail.
-Heavy loss of industries due to unavailability of raw material from East Bengal.
-Taking a cue from the Chinese boycott of American goods. The Hindus had started "Swadeshi movement" on August 7,1905,to strengthen their movement against the partition.
-The Hindus used inflammatory remarks and aroused religious sentiments to make the anti-partition movement more effective.

thanks a lot MAHA
one point which i have to second regarding the demands of deputation ,if i am not wrong ;that Aligarhwhich was the nerve center of Muslim political revival which had not freely prescribed its own syllabus or pg degrees then ,it was also demanded that Aligarh must be given its considerations as it was the core of Muslim and its activities...
Once again thanks for your co-operation

Regards
