A KHALID: You know, I think it's been really tough to cover American politics over the last decade and not see that there are throughlines to what's happened in other places around the world. These last few election cycles in particular have been really politically polarizing. And, you know, one of the things I've done as a political reporter is - I don't just cover the candidate who's running for office, but I spend a lot of time crisscrossing the country, talking to voters. You know, people have told me that they prefer living in zip codes where pretty much everybody is like them.

A positive aspect of Nehru Report was that it resulted in the unity of divided Muslims groups. A positive aspect of Nehru Report was that it resulted in the unity of divided Muslim groups. In a meeting of the council of All India Muslim League on March 28, 1929, members of both the Shafi League and Jinnah League participated. Quaid-e-Azam termed the Nehru Report as a Hindu document, but considered simply rejecting the report as insufficient. He decided to give an alternative Muslim agenda. It was in this meeting that Quaid-e-Azam presented his famous Fourteen Points. The council of the All India Muslim League accepted fourteen points of the Quaid. A resolution was passed according to which no scheme for the future constitution of the Government of India would be acceptable to the Muslims unless and until it included the demands of the Quaid presented in the fourteen points.
77. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions, the Governor-General-in-Council may, in the event of any foreign aggression on India by land, air or sea, or upon his being satisfied that there is a reasonable apprehension of such aggression, authorise such expenditure as may be necessary for the safety of British India or any part thereof. Such action taken by the Governor-General shall be reported by him immediately to the Legislature, if in session, or if the Legislature is not in session, to a special session to be summoned as soon as possible thereafter.
India's constitutional issues. The Committee was established under Pandit LalNehru. That committee drafted a report known as the "Nehru Report". Thisreport demanded "Status of Governance" in India. Separate electorates for theMuslims were again rejected and seats for Muslims in Bangladesh and Punjabwere rejected. In this report, not a single demand of the Muslims wassupported. Another purpose of the committee was to prioritize the removal ofthe Simon Commission established by the British by proposing theirrecommendations. The chairman of the new committee was Nehru, a lawyerand father of Jawaharlal Nehru and he relaxed with various groups including amember of the Muslim League.
In 1928, Nehru Report took the Indian political world by storm. Hasrat as a supporter of Congress favoured the report and wrote many articles backing it. It caused uproar against him and his newspaper since an overwhelming majority of Muslims had rejected Nehru Report. It was a blunder that cost Hasrat dearly and he had to leave Calcutta fearing of his safety. But luckily Zafar Ali Khan was in the city and he asked Hasrat to come to Lahore and join his newspaper 'Zamindar'.
Chiragh Hasan Hasrat was a restless soul. He could not work anywhere for too long and looked for something different. But then his health deteriorated and he had to be content with writing a daily column in 'Nawa-e-Waqt'. Radio Pakistan, Lahore, arranged some programmes with him but Hasrat fell ill again and died in Lahore on June 26, 1955. Chiragh Hasan Hasrat wrote 16 books. 'Kele ka Chhilka' and 'Mataibaat' are collections of humorous writings. 'Harf-o-Hikayat' is the collection of his columns. 'Do doctor' and 'Murdum deeda' are collections of pen sketches. His humour drew upon current affairs but it is natural and his command over the Urdu language, his wit, metaphors and allusion made it a real treat for anybody who is well-read. This is perhaps one of the reasons why today he is not so popular, since most readers today are not acquainted with the finer points of literature.
