Explanation:
Partition of India has been overtly attributed to the two-nation theory. Nineteenth-century Muslim modernist and reformer Sir Syed Ahmad Khan came up with the idea of the ‘two nations’, which somehow had a connection to the creation of the All India Muslim League in 1906, set up with the aim to protect “Muslim interests, amid neglect and under-representation.”
On 29 December 1930, poet-philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal called for an autonomous new State in “north-western India for Indian Muslims”. Muhammad Ali Jinnah asserted that “a Muslim of one country has far more sympathies with a Muslim living in another country than with a non-Muslim living in the same country.” Therefore, “the conception of Indian Muslims as a nation may not be ethnically correct, but socially it is correct.” Up to 1940, these views were just part of some text, which were not as important as they are today. These views were outcomes of the British strategy to keep the Hindus and Muslims divided, so that they could balance internal peace in India. However, there have been secret documents that reveal the grand strategy of the Western powers. The creation of Pakistan was more due to the geo-strategic compulsions of the emerging Cold War rather than the two-nation theory.
