The Lucknow Pact 1916

The Lucknow Pact of 1916 was an agreement between the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League aimed at demanding self-governance from British rule. Key provisions included separate electorates for Muslims, representation in the Imperial Legislative Council, and the introduction of communal vetoes. Although it symbolized Hindu-Muslim unity, the pact ultimately failed to create a lasting coalition due to deep-seated differences between the communities.
