    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's Aligarh Movement did not start the War of Independence. The Aligarh Movement was a socio-political reform movement initiated by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan in the late 19th century. Its aim was to modernize the Muslim community through education and social reforms. The War of Independence, also known as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, was a major armed uprising against British rule in India. It was a result of various factors, including political, economic, and social grievances among the Indian population.

    • True

    • False

    A. True
    Explanation
    The Pakistan Resolution, also known as the Lahore Resolution, was passed on March 23, 1940, during the All India Muslim League's annual session in Lahore, British India. It called for the creation of independent states for Muslims in the regions where they were a minority. This resolution marked the first formal demand for a separate homeland for Muslims in the subcontinent. The demand eventually led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. Therefore, the statement "The Pakistan Resolution was the first time the Muslims demanded for a separate Muslim homeland" is true.

Allama Iqbal, a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician, was indeed a member of the All India Muslim League. He played a significant role in shaping the ideology of the league and advocating for the rights of Muslims in British India. Iqbal's famous Allahabad Address in 1930 is considered a significant milestone in the demand for a separate homeland for Muslims, which eventually led to the creation of Pakistan.

    Correct Answer
    A. British became friendlier with the Indians
    Explanation
    After the War of Independence in 1857, the British became friendlier with the Indians. This can be attributed to their realization that harsh policies and mistrust towards the Indians had contributed to the revolt. In order to prevent future uprisings, the British adopted a more conciliatory approach towards the Indians, which included granting more rights and privileges to the Indian population. This shift in attitude aimed to create a sense of loyalty and cooperation among the Indians, thereby reducing the likelihood of further rebellions.
