Were not muslims allowed to vote in 1909? There was a delegation lead by Agha khan as well?

This is my confusion too. Read somewhere that DD Basu says 1909 and Laxmikant says 1919(or other way around, not sure). If anyone has a definitive answer on this, kindly reply

@sstarrr Yes They are allowed but system of Election was very indirect.

(Source : Spectrum Pg No 528, 2018 Edition)

Had cross checked statements with Spectrum also. Please go through pg No 528 and 529 GoI act 1909 and 1919 it will clarify all your doubts.

@kasanasandy007133 I think it finds a mention in Anarchy (written by William Dalrymple). If you’re into gaming and know about the Uncharted series then Henry Avery’s treasure is the main plot line for Uncharted 4.

It doesn't look that beautiful if found in wild. You can make anything look good through photos.

It will be counted. Or else after a tough Paper 1, many people would like to take adiditional attempts.

No.

Understand it this way.

The counting of attempt has got to do with the signing of attendance sheet/s.

If attendance sheet is signed in both the papers, attempt will be counted.

If attendance sheet is signed in any of the two papers, attempt will be counted.

If attendance sheet is signed in none of the two papers (the case that you are talking about), attempt will not be counted.
