Lucknow Pact
Encyclopedia : L : LU : LUC : Lucknow Pact
Lucknow Pact refers to an agreement between Indian National Congress and Muslim League. In 1916, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, a member of the Indian National Congress, negotiated with the Muslim League to reach an agreement to pressure British Government to have a more liberal approach to India and give Indians more authority to run their country. This was a considerable change of policy for Muslim League as it was established to preserve Muslim interests in India, and for this, they needed to support British rule in India. After the unpopular partition of Bengal, Muslim League was confused about its stand and it was this time that Jinnah approached League. Jinnah was the mastermind and architect of the pact. Even though Jinnah was a member of Indian National Congress then, he later went to become the leader of Muslim League.
The Lucknow Pact also marked the establishment of cordial relations between the two prominent groups of the Indian National Congress - the extremists or the garam dal led by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and the moderates or the naram dal led by Gopal Krishna Gokhale.
