what promoted Quaid e Azam to ask for an independant muslim country?

At the beginning, Jinnah wanted an united India for both Hindus and Muslims with a strong institutional framework modeled on English Politics that could protect minorities and prevent the . This started to change when Gandhi made his mark in Indian politics. Gandhi was not a communalist, and not anti-Muslim at all, but he did promote an idea of Indian nationalism that was populist in its orientation. The dangers of populism and appealing to the masses in Jinnah’s view was that most of the masses were Hindus and while a large number of them are also Muslims, it would over time lead to the privilege of one group over another.
Jinnah also felt unsympathetic to Gandhi’s style, which was wear “indian clothing” (almost always Hindu-style clothing) and he felt that the appeal to villages and rural traditions as opposed to the enlightened urbanity he favored would bring communalism into Indian politics. I think Jinnah was a little short-sighted, and he missed a strategic goldmine by not committing to populism first, but in terms of his fears about India and the nature of Indian politics, he was right.
Eventually Congress despite being secular in intent and multi-religious in its appeals, started to mostly form its base around Hindu politicians and strongmen, and this strengthened appeals for the Muslim League. There was now huge polarization between Congress and League especially during the 40s, and the League made huge gains in the 1944 (or is it 1945?) elections in states which were Muslim majority and their campaigns included the idea of a separate Muslim state. Now, even at this late stage, as some historians argue, Jinnah was merely trying to prove how large and committed the Muslim electorate were and that he was still willing to negotiate and compromise with the Congress. But it didn’t work and so you had two states.
No one knows what could have happened to Pakistan had Jinnah lived longer but he was an intelligent and fairly tragic figure. He wasn’t entirely right or entirely wrong, and the blame belongs to multiple parties and groups.
The Satavahanas (Sādavāhana or Sātavāhana,[2] IAST: Sātavāhana), also referred to as the Andhras in the Puranas, were an ancient Indian dynasty based in the Deccan region. Most modern scholars believe that the Satavahana rule began in the late second century BCE and lasted until the early third century CE, although some assign the beginning of their rule to as early as the 3rd century BCE based on the Puranas, but uncorroborated by archaeological evidence.[3] The Satavahana kingdom mainly comprised the present-day Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. At different times, their rule extended to parts of modern Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka.
The dynasty had different capital cities at different times, including Pratishthana (Paithan) and Amaravati (Dharanikota).The Satavahanas participated in (and benefited from) economic expansion through intensification of agriculture, increased production of other commodities, and trade within and beyond the Indian subcontinent.[83]
During the Satavahana period, several large settlements emerged in the fertile areas, especially along the major rivers. The amount of land under agricultural use also expanded significantly, as a result of forest clearance and construction of irrigation reservoirs.
