Abstract

This research paper is an attempt to know about the political history of NWFP with special reference to 1937 elections. The NWFP now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa separated from Punjab province in 1901 by George Nathanial Curzon. NWFP was kept deprived of constitutional reforms till 1932 and was known as Sarzamen-e- Bay Ayin (the land without constitution) for a long time. This research paper will determine the Muslim League pathetic performance in 1937 elections. Muslim League was deliberately ignored by the congress while making the coalition ministry after 1937 elections. Abdul Qayyum khan contributed a lot for NWFP and its people as minister of central legislative council and chief minister of NWFP.
