The British policy of ‘divide and rule’ resulted in partition of India. It began with the British recognition to the Muslim separatism in 1909, ie the British introduction of separate electorate for the Muslims.
Communalism in India was fanned by subtle efforts of the Muslim League and Hindu Mahasabha (1915). Sudhi and Sangathan movements among the Hindus gave strength and popularity to it. The Hindu-Muslim unity broke down in 199, forever.
It in the Allahabad session of the Leauge (1930), the idea of a separate state was presented. During 1930-32, the period of Round Table Conferences, a group of young Muslims, led by Rehmat Ali, coined ‘Pakistan’ as a geographical expression of a future Muslim state.
The poor performance of the Muslim league in 1937 election put its existence in danger. So it used religion to counterweight the mass appeal of the Congress. Islam is in danger, was the cry. In 1940, in its Lahore session the League officially demanded Pakistan.
The fanatical and separatist politics of the league found expression in observance of ‘Direct Action Day’ on the 16th August 1946. Communal carnage, and large-scale killing brought the nation to the brink of a civil war. The league adopted non-cooperation within and outside the interim government. It boycotted the Constituent Assembly. It was not ready to accept anything less than ‘Pakistan’.
The events that were responsible for partition began in 1909 and had all its horrific end on 14th August 1947 with the creation of ‘Pakistan’.

In 1940 A.D. in Lahore Sessions, the Muslims first of all placed their demand for Pakistan in very clear and main words and proposed to make a Muslim state by uniting the northwest and the eastern region.
In 1941 A.D. of the time of the Madras Session Muhammad Alijinnah put forth the demand that the aim of the Muslim League was to establish an independent state in the north western and easterns provinces.
We are not prepared to accept any such constitution as established by the central Government in entire India. Tinnah delivered fiery speeches and playing with the feelings of pathans.
In the 'August Offer' Lord Tinth first of all assured the Indian Muslims that they would be provided with all protection, if any settlement took place between the British and the Indians.
Both the Hindus and Muslims rejected the Cripps Plan in 1942 A.D. The Indian National Congress began the Quite India Movement but the Muslim League did not support it.
As most of the prominent leaders of the congress were behind bars, the leaders of the Muslims League gave wide publicity to their demand for Pakistan. The Muslim leaders and the students of Aligarh Muslim University also supported this demand.
The idea of Pakistan was welcomed by the English language News paper 'Dawn" and Urdu Newspapers 'Jang' and 'Mansur' published from Delhi. The publicity of the Muslim League succeeded and one after the other many news papers from Calcutta also supported the demand for Pakistan.
The Indian leaders were also in favour of the creation of Pakistan The proposal of the cabinet Mission was first accepted by the Muslim league and the congress since 1947 A.D. but soon the Muslim League rejected it and refused to take part in the Interim Govt. The Muslim League celebrated the 'Direct Action Day' on 16th July 1946 A.D.
