Alright, so

Lead

First sentence "The Simla Deputation was a gathering of 35 prominent Muslim leaders within the British Raj led by Aga Khan III at the Viceregal Lodge in Simla in October 1906." It might just be me, but this is confusing. This makes it seem (at least to me) like the British Raj itself was led by him (also, since Agha Khan is a title, maybe add "the" before it). Also could you tell more about the laws Minto passed? Did he increase reserved seats? What is it he did?

Changed to "Indian Muslim", "the" added before Aga Khan. Clarified Morley-Minto reforms. Roniius^{talk to me} 08:39, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Background section

Elaborate on some sentences. "Its leader, Syed Ahmad Khan, strengthened the Muslim community in northern India through his pro-British writings and gatherings." How? How did the pro-British writings affect the Muslims?

Added "through the drawing of Muslims to". Roniius^{talk to me} 08:39, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The last sentence "Hardy argues that the deputation..." Who is he? There is no mention of him anywhere in the article. Is he an author in a ref or something? If so, give basic details about him (such as Hardy, author of such-and-such).

Added "historian". Roniius^{talk to me} 08:39, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty much all I have to say. RealKnockout (talk) 08:12, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final Result

The article is well-written, no confusing info, it’s all properly sourced with good clean citations. It has good photos, goes into depth about the event, I believe this GA review is a pass. RealKnockout (talk) 07:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
