    The Nehru Report of 1928 proposed making Hindi the official language of India, abolishing separate Muslim electorates, and establishing a strong central government with limited provincial autonomy, which angered Muslims by threatening their cultural rights and not accepting their demand for full provincial self-government. As a result, the Nehru Report was rejected because it failed to adequately protect Muslim interests and did not accept Muslims as an important community in India.

    Why was the Nehru Report rejected?

    [7]
    Nehru report was made in 1928 by all parties’ conference in opposition
    for the Simon Commission and was supported by a vast majority of
    non-Muslims. It was rejected because of the reasons given below.

    Nehru Report of 1928 was a strictly Hindu version of India's future


    constitution. It asked for Hindi to be made the official language of India.
    As Urdu was of great cultural importance for Muslims, they opposed it
    as it was a threat to their cultural rights.

    Nehru Report of 1928 suggested that Muslims should not be given


    separate electorates in the council. This angered the Muslims and they
    opposed Nehru Report as Hindus were going against Lucknow Pact and
    were not accepting Muslims as an important community of India.

    Nehru Report of 1928 was also unacceptable as it also suggested


    abolition of diarchy and representative government in provinces. It
    suggested that there should be a strong center with limited provincial
    autonomy which was opposed by Muslims as their demand of full
    provincial autonomy was not accepted. Hence, Nehru Report was
    rejected as Hindus were trying to dominate Muslims and did not
    protect Muslim rights even in Muslim majority areas like Punjab and
    Bengal.

    The above are the reasons why the Nehru report was rejected.
