Reasons for the Lucknow Pact itself was :

1. Lord Chelmsford’s invitation for suggestions from the Indian politicians for post World War I reforms further helped in the
   development of the situation.
2. to pressure the British government to adopt a more liberal approach to India and give Indians more authority to run their country.

The above 2 factors were the main compulsions for the pact

The pact was negotiated between ML and Bal Gangadhar Tilak from Cong. Jinnah was the mediator. This was also when Sarojini Naidu gave Jinnah,the title of “the Ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity”.
This pact collapsed due to Kilafat movement and Chauri Chara incident of 1920s.
Once this happened every thing changed and ofcourse majority Hindu provinces were also not thrilled by the disproportionate representation of minorities and it was perceived as an illogical demand.

You mean to say Congress agreed upon Lucknow Pact without the consent of majority Hindu provinces and that under compulsion from British Government.
