- Source A: In 1919, the British government made changes to the
way India was governed. Although 5 million wealthy Indians were
given the vote, London still controlled; tax, police, courts, armed
forces, education and much more. People were bitterly disappointed
and a demonstration was organised in the town of Armistar. A local
British commander ordered his men to fire into the crowd killing
379 Indian men, women and children. The incident was a turning
point. Gandhi said when a government takes up arms against its un
armed subjects, then it has lost its right to govern.

- Source B: In 1939 when WW2 began India was still part of the
British Empire. Thousands of Indians joined up to fight as part of

Indians fought in what was the largest volunteer army in
history.

- Partition of India 1947 There was fighting between Hindus and
Muslims in India. If India gained independence they didnt want to
ruled by a Hindu government (this was likely as there was more
Hindus in India) Instead Muslims wanted a country of their own.
Britain decided to split India into two. India for the Hindus
Pakistan for the Muslims

- In your own words, explain why Jinnah thought unity between
Hindus and Muslims was impossible How can you ever dream of a
Hindu-Muslim unity? Everything pulls us apart. We have no
inter-marriages. We do not have the same calendar. The Muslims
believe in a single God, the Hindus worship idols The Hindus
worship animals and consider cows sacred. We, the Muslims, think it
is nonsense. We want to kill the cows and eat them. There are only
two links between Muslims and Hindus: British rule and the common
desire to get rid of it. Source E, from a 1944 interview with
Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the leader of an Indian political party called
the Muslim League. He eventually became Pakistans first leader. How
