Summary Note of this Document
For centuries, Muslims in the Indian subcontinent coexisted within a diverse socio-cultural framework. The arrival of British colonial rule fundamentally altered the political landscape of a unified India. British policies disrupted the political and cultural fabric of Indian society, creating tensions that culminated in the War of Independence in 1857. This conflict exposed the British administration's stringent measures, prompting the introduction of various constitutional reforms to govern India.

A pivotal moment in India’s constitutional history was the Nehru Report of 1928, which proposed a framework for self-governance within the British Empire. While the report was a significant step toward envisioning Indian autonomy, its centralized governance model and inadequate provisions for minority rights sparked widespread criticism, particularly from Muslim leaders. This study analyzes the Nehru Report, highlighting its key features, the Muslim community's response, and the strategies they employed to reshape Muslim political trends in India during this period of intense debate. The research adopts a qualitative approach, drawing on both primary and secondary sources to provide a comprehensive examination of the subject.
