Jinnah's 14 Points

Jinnah's 14 Points, presented in 1929 by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, aimed to address the concerns of Indian Muslims within the context of British India. They sought to ensure political rights and protections for Muslims, emphasizing federalism, autonomy for provinces, and proportional representation in legislatures. Jinnah advocated for safeguards against potential majority domination, emphasizing cultural and religious freedoms. The points represented a response to the growing demand for Indian self-rule and aimed to prevent discrimination against Muslims, laying the groundwork for future demands for a separate Muslim state, ultimately leading to the formation of Pakistan in 1947.
