Lucknow : an important city of U.P., on the River Gomati, is the capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh, formerly known as the United Provinces of Agra & Awadh. It was the venue the Annual Congress Sessions in 1899 presided over by Romesh C. Dutt that dared enunciate its fundamental policy & approve a Constitution with an objective which briefly announced “The promotion by constitutional means of the interest & the well-being of the people of the Indian Empire.” Since 1913 the Congress & the Muslim League had been working precisely on a Hindu-Muslim Pact to unite “the interest & the well-being of the people of the Indian Empire”. The 1916 Lucknow Pact: Morley-Minto Reforms or Council Act of 1909 included separate electorates for Muslims. This communal inequity was deepened by the Lucknow Pact. The first act of Chelmsford who succeeded Hardinge as Viceroy (writes Durga Das) in 1916 was to whittle down Hardinge’s offer of self-government as the goal of reforms, then warned the only Indian Member of his Executive Council, Sir C. Sankaran Nair in charge of the Dept. of Education, Health & Land Revenue that India had no right to demand reforms on the principle of Self-Determination then prevailing on the international scene but only on her loyalty to Britain. In support of Nair, Bhupendranath Basu & Narasimha Sarma (who would succeed Nair) drew up a Memorandum which Jinnah & other Indian members elected to the Imperial Legislative Council (nineteen in all) endorsed. The Memo’s principal demands (while forced to concede the principle of communal electorates) were: (a) a substantial majority of elected member in all legislatures in the country, (b) power over money bills, fiscal autonomy, (c) an equal number of Europeans & Indians all Executive Councils & (d) the abolition of the Secretary of State’s showpiece India Council. The Memo formed the basis of the Lucknow Pact between the Congress & the Muslim League. ― “The Hindu-Muslim Concordat & the Lucknow Pact,” writes Congress historian Sitāramayyā, “were the off-springs of the seed sown at the 1913 Congress presided over by Nawab Naba Syed Mahmud of Madras.” That year Jinnah joined the League, thus becoming a member of both parties. The Mar.’15 Congress Session was the first time League members attended its session “in one body”. In Nov.’15, with Gokhale dead & Mehta dying, Sir S.P. Sinha, D.E. Wacha, S.N. Bannerjea, Mrs Besant, Mrs Naidu, Malaviya, Gandhi, R.N. Mudholkar & B.G. Horniman attended the League’s Session as Guests. In Apr’16, preliminaries of the Concordat were drafted by League & Congress Executives at Motilal Nehru’s residence, almost hammered out in Oct. at Calcutta, & finalised in December just before their Lucknow Sessions. The Concordat’s central article was: One-third of the elected members to the Imperial Legislative Councils will be Muslims elected through separate electorates. ― Tilak & his party were admitted to INC only in Jan.’16. Tilak started the Home Rule League on April 23, 1916 (writes Ramana Rao) & raised the cry of Home Rule for India. He preached & persuaded students to join the Defence Force. The Govt. thought this was a move to sabotage the army. His entry into Punjab & Delhi was prohibited. He was asked to be bound over for good behaviour for one year by demanding a security of Rs. 20,000/-. The High Court reversed the order of the District Magistrate. Tilak’s popularity was already at its height and this incident raised it further. He was the recipient of ovations and purses wherever he went. On his completion of 60 years (1916) he was presented a purse of one lakh rupees. It was only at the Dec.1916 Lucknow session that Tilak came to know details of the Calcutta Concordat, & assumed that the resulting Pact would ensure that all future political undertakings will be a joint League-Congress affair (see how Gandhi dealt with the Home Rulers in Khilafat Agitation). It was on the basis of this assumption that he proposed a nation-wide demand for Home Rule as was most likely to succeed in the world-wide agitation for self-determination. It was this assumption of his that Sri Aurobindo called his greatest blunder [See Nirodbaran’s Talks with Sri A]. ― In his speech as the Session’s President Ambika Charan Majumdar (q.v.) declared: “Call it Home Rule, call it self-rule, call it Swaraj...it is representative government..... Here are our demands which, God willing, are bound to be fulfilled at no distant date. India must cease to be a dependency & be raised to the status of a self-governing state as an equal partner with equal rights & responsibilities as an independent unit of the Empire.…. In any scheme of readjustment after the war, India should have a fair representation in the Federal Council like the colonies of the Empire. India must be governed from Delhi & Shimla & not from Whitehall or Downing Street…. The Council of the Secretary of State should be either abolished or its constitution so modified as to admit of substantial Indian representation on it. Of the two Under-Secretaries of State for India one should be an Indian & the salaries of the Secretary of State should be placed on the British estimates as in the case of the Secretary for the Colonies…. The Secretary of State for India should, however, have no more powers over the Government of India than those exercised by the Secretary of State for the Colonies in the case of the Dominions. India must have complete autonomy, financial, legislative as well as administrative.…. The Government of India is the most vital point in the proposed reforms. It is the fountain head of all local administrations & unless we can ensure its progressive character any effective reform of the local Governments would be impossible. For this the services must be completely separated from the State & no member of any service should be a member of Government.” [Dict. of National Biography, Ed. S.P. Sen; Institute of Historical Studies, Calcutta, 1972-74]. INC adopted the Pact that 29th & that League on 31st. Consequently the British Govt. incorporated it en bloc in its Act of 1919 only to find INC rejecting the Act but not the Pact at Amritsar (q.v.)! [Based on A Short History of the INC, M.V.
