Answer
In U.P. the petitions only in Urdu could be submitted to the offices and courts. The Hindus protested against this practice. The Government gave instructions on 8 April, 1900 that offices and courts should entertain petitions written in Hindi, i.e., Devanagri script also. This angered the Muslims who called protest meetings in different parts of the Province. The Hindus also held meetings to meet the challenge. The controversy worsened relations between the two communities.
