Correct Answer - Option 4 : Muhummad Ali Jinnah

In December 1916, AIML and Congress met in Lucknow.

  • The Lucknow Pact is an agreement between the Indian National Congress (INC) and the All India Muslim League reached at a joint session of both the parties held at Lucknow in 1916.
  • The pact was important in that it enhanced the League’s power in Indian politics and established communalism as an unavoidable part of Indian politics despite the apparent bonhomie between the two communities at the session.

Lucknow Pact:

  • When the Muslim League was formed in 1906, it was a relatively moderate organisation with a pro-British stance.
  • After the First World War, the Viceroy Lord Chelmsford had solicited reform suggestions from Indians in return for the Indian support of the British war effort.
  • The Muslim League led by Mohammed Ali Jinnah wanted to use this opportunity to press for constitutional reforms through a joint Hindu-Muslim platform.
  • Jinnah was then a member of both the parties and he was largely responsible for the Pact.
  • This was the first time that leaders of both the INC and the Muslim League were meeting for a joint session.
  • At the meeting, the leaders consulted with each other and drafted a set of demands for constitutional reforms.
  • In October 1916, 19 elected Indian members of the Imperial Legislative Council addressed a memorandum to the Viceroy seeking reforms.
  • In November 1916, leaders from both parties met again in Calcutta and discussed and amended the suggestions.
  • Finally, at their respective annual sessions held at Lucknow in December 1916, the INC and the League confirmed the agreement. This came to be known as the Lucknow Pact.
  • For his efforts, Sarojini Naidu gave Jinnah the title ‘the Ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity.'

Thus, we can conclude that Muhummad Ali Jinnah was famous as an 'Ambassador of Hindu - Muslim Unity'.
