The Lucknow Pact, signed in 1916 between the Indian National Congress and the All-India Muslim League, aimed to unite Hindus and Muslims in the struggle for self-governance. Its main provisions included the demand for greater Indian representation in legislatures, the establishment of a federal government, and the recognition of separate electorates for Muslims. Additionally, it called for the inclusion of Muslims in government positions and acknowledged the need for communal harmony and cooperation between the two communities. The pact marked a significant step towards political unity among Indian nationalists.
