divide and quit slogan by all india muslim league in Lahore 1943.The communal question had become a baffling one as the Muslim League stiffened its demand for Pakistan.

Released from prison on May 6, 1944, Mahatma Gandhi made earnest efforts for communal harmony and held discussion with Jinnah on the basis of Rajagopalacharya formula in 1944. The Rajaji formula was that if the Muslims endorsed the demand for national independence, Congress would agree to the demarcation of contiguous Muslim majority areas in the north-West and north-East of India. In such demarcated areas, the inhabitants should be allowed to decide by plebiscite whether they would remain in India or form a separate State or states of their own. The talks proved futile as Jinnah rejected the 'Rajaji formula: Jinnah's conception of Pakistan was not a 'bundle of contiguous areas' but comprised the whole of six provinces.
