Rejection of 14 points let to Allahabad address. Had they been accepted, none of it would have happened. Quite simply, it was Nehru's arrogance at rejecting them
These 14 points
1.All the people should be aware of their rights all the people have the freedom of religion freedom of sense.
As nehru and INC wanted secularism, this was agreed upon unanimously
2. All cabinets at central or local level should have at least 1/3 Muslim representation.
leadership doesn't and should not be based on religious background. Apart from that Mulims did not constitute 1/3rd of the population, hence was not appropriate
3. All legislatures in the country and other elected bodies shall be constituted on the definite principle of adequate and effective representation of minorities in every province without reducing the majority in any province to a minority or even equality.
This is still practiced in India, hence was agreed to.
4. In the Central Legislature, Muslim representation shall not be less than one third.
Again, the 1/3rd number is and was too high
5.Representation of communal groups shall continue to be by means of separate electorate as at present, provided it shall be open to any community at any time to abandon its separate electorate in favor of a joint electorate.
Irrational practically
6.Any territorial distribution that might at any time be necessary shall not in any way affect the Muslim majority in the Punjab, Bengal and the North West Frontier Province.
Division of provinces of India was to be on the basis of language and not religion, hence was not-feasable
7. Full religious liberty, i.e. liberty of belief, worship and observance, propaganda, association and education, shall be guaranteed to all communities.
Was agreed upon and still practiced by Nehru's side
8. No bill or any resolution or any part thereof shall be passed in any legislature or any other elected body if three-fourth of the members of any community in that particular body oppose such a bill resolution or part thereof on the ground that it would be injurious to the interests of that community or in the alternative, such other method is devised as may be found feasible and practicable to deal with such cases.
1/3rd (33%)of the body would be minority and 3/4th of that (33.33%) would be enough to disable a bill, I wonder how the pariament would have worked then?
9. Sindh should be separated from the Bombay Presidency.
to diminsh the power of INC?
10. Reforms should be introduced in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Baluchistan on the same footing as in the other provinces.
I believe this was agreed upon by INC too
11. Provision should be made in the constitution giving Muslims an adequate share, along with the other Indians, in all the services of the state and in local self-governing bodies having due regard to the requirements of efficiency.
this baically is demand for reservation which as always have been a contentious issue
12. The constitution should embody adequate safeguards for the protection of Muslim culture and for the protection and promotion of Muslim education, language, religion, personal laws and Muslim charitable institution and for their due share in the grants-in-aid given by the state and by local self-governing bodies.
Why? Why should the constitution be partial to one religious groups, same should also be given to sikhs, christians, hindus, buddhists, jains, etc
13. No cabinet, either central or provincial, should be formed without there being a proportion of at least one-third Muslim ministers.
This 1/3rd muslim representation without the actual population to support the ballot is the main cause for rejection
14. No change shall be made in the constitution by the Central Legislature except with the concurrence of the State's contribution of the Indian Federation.
Parliamentary bills cannot pass without majority which represents the states.
The strong federation and weak center idea was not even implemented by Pakistan post jinnah, so It wasn't just Nehru and Jinnah, but later the people of pakistan too did not take Jinnahs plans seriously
