The Nehru Report and Muslim Rights — Page 37
[ 37 ] From the above it is clear that not one of the seven points of the Muslims has the Nehru Committee acceded to in full. Some of them it has wholly rejected, while a few have been accepted only partially.

The question now arises that when the Nehru Committee has rejected even those terms which the moderate section of the Muslim community consi dered to be their minimum demands, can its findings be regarded to be just and fair?

In order to make it easily intelligible I have divided the subject under differ ent heads. . - -
