    Justification of the demand

    of Pakistan
    INTRODUCTION Hindus and Muslims had lived peacefully together in
    India for centuries, but after the British invasion in South Asia and their
    undue support to Hindus, life became very difficult for Indian Muslims. In
    fact, the Muslims were a separate nation who always adhered to their
    religious identity. The British and the Hindus in spite of their great efforts
    could not put a wedge into the Muslim unity and their national image and
    religious identity.
    THE BASIS OF THE CREATION OF PAKISTAN
    The two nation theory was the basis of the struggle for the creation of
    Pakistan which held that Hindus and Muslims were to separate nations.
    On one occasion ,Quaid-e-Azam said:
    Hindus and Muslims though living in the same towns and villages, had
    never been blended into one nation. They were always two separate
    entities.

    Different Social Factors


    There were a few factors which split the inhabitants of the Sub Continent into two
    nations. Let us examine each of them separately.
    1.Religious Differences
    Hindus and Muslims belong to different religions. Muslims believe in the Tawheed
    (Oneness of Allah )and equality of men. On the other hand ,Hindus believe in
    multiple Gods and Hindu society is divided into four different classes. Thus there
    lies the basic difference between Hindu and Muslim way.
    2.Cultural Differences
    Hindus and Muslims followed different social customs and traditions. The Hindus
    burnt their dead bodies while Muslims buried them. Hindus considered the mother
    cow as a sacred animal and worshipped it while Muslims slaughtered it.
    3.Educational Differences
    The Hindus had advanced in the educational field because they readily and quickly
    took to the English education .The Muslims did not receive modern education
    ,which heavily affected their economic condition.
    4.Language
    Muslims and Hindus wrote and spoke two different languages .The language of
    Muslims was Urdu and it was written in Arabic script. On the other hand ,Hindus
    spoke Hindi and it was written in Sanskrit. Even this small difference led to a
    stirring conflict between the two nations.

    THE POLICY OF CONFLICT


    By the beginning of twentieth 20th century, the even had taken a new turn. The Hindus
    and British had joined hands to destroy the Muslims morally, socially, economically and
    politically.
    ATROCITIES OF CONGRESS MINISTRIES ON MUSLIMS
    After formation of Congress Ministers Muslims had to bear their oppressive and tyrannical
    rule. Muslims were forbidden to eat beef. Those who slaughtered Mother Cow was killed.
    Islam was humiliated ,prayers and Azans were interrupted. Hindi was made the official
    language. In addition to these ,they launched a scheme called Vidya Mandir Scheme to
    convert non Hindus to Hindus. Congress clearly stated:
    India belongs to the Hindus and if Muslims wish to live in India, They should accept
    Hinduism.
    According to Nehru three coloured flags were hoisted to prove that:
    There are only two parties in the country .The Congress and the British.
    HINDU MUSLIM COMMUNAL RIOTS
    The Hindu Muslim riots increased during the Congress rule throughout the country. The
    Hindus were free to make the Muslims victims of their high handedness. The houses of
    Muslims were set on fire. Massacre of the Muslims became the routine of the day.
    SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT
    MUSLIM LEAGUE AND CULTURE
    TWO NATION THEORY
    ISLAMIC SYSTEM

    CONCLUTION
    On the basis of above mentioned factors and bitter
    attitude of British and Congress the Muslims
    apprehended that they would lose their entity if they
    remained a part of Hindu society. Therefore they
    quitted Congress and demanded separate land on the
    ground that they were different nation from Hindus.
    According to Quaid-e-Azam:
    The Muslims demanded Pakistan where they can rule
    in accordance with their own system of life, their
    cultural development ,their traditions and Islamic law.
