Partition was the price India had to pay for its independence. Although we got what we wanted, our fight isn’t over. Ever since the British left, India has become divided. I joined the Indian National Congress but was unaware of the majority of Hindus. This set of an uneven balance of power towards one religious group. I decided that there should be another government specifically for those of Muslim faith. So I left the Indian National Congress eventually, in 1935, I made a Muslim league. This way there can be another separate government for the Hindus, and Muslims. But this, divided India and caused violence between the two sides. Civil war has broken out. The divide became obvious when the Hindus started to support the congress, and the Muslims sided with the league. This is creating a major conflict in India. With the English imperial rule being gone, both sides are fighting to establish their own way as the Indian way.
For this I propose The Two Nation Theory. The only way everyone can get what we want is for a new independent state to be created, so the Hindus can separate from the Muslims. If Pakistan, this new independent state, is created, we can cater to the individual needs of each side, without conflict and without war. “Pakistan not only means freedom and indepenece but the muslim ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious girft and treasure and which we hope others will share with us.”(1)
