Nehru Report
BRIEF ACCOUNT
In November 1927, the British
Government appointed a statutory commission head by Sir John Simon to inquire
into the constitutional affairs of the country. Since, no Indian was present in
this commission; the Indians did not welcome the Simon Commission. When the
members of this commission were talking about the political situation of India,
the Congress called on all parties conference in Bombay on May 19, 1928. The
Muslim League boycotted this conference. The all parties conference appointed a
committee headed by Pandit Moti Lal Nehru to submit a report after considering
the principles of a constitution for India. The committee recommended a
proposal generally known as “Nehru Report”.

REACTIONS
TOWARDS NEHRU REPORT
The Nehru Report projected the Hindu
leadership mentality ailed at the digestion of the Muslim nation under the
cover of one nation in the India-Pakistan Sub Continent.
Since the report was totally against
the Muslims, therefore, Muslim league and and other Muslim parties of the
country rejected it. Quaid-e-Azam said:
“As a young man he had been a keen owner of grey hounds, but he had
never grey hounds deal with hare as the Hindus proposed to deal with the
Muslims.”
IN A NUT SHELL
Thus, the Nehru Report reflected the
hostility, mental level and attitude of the Hindus towards the Muslims of
India. All its proposals were made disregarding the interests of the Muslims.
