The '''Pakistan Movement''' ({{lang-ur|{{nq|تحریکِ پاکستان}}|translit=Teḥrīk-e-Pākistān}}) was a [[List of historical separatist movements|political movement]] in the first half of the 20th century that aimed for the creation of [[Pakistan]] from the Muslim-majority areas of [[British India]]. It was connected to the perceived need for self-determination for Muslims under British rule at the time. [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] lead this movement after the [[Lahore Resolution]] was passed by [[All-India Muslim League]], on March 23rd, 1940.
Pakistan Movement started originally as the [[Aligarh Movement]], and as a result, the British Indian Muslims began to develop a secular political identity.<ref>{{cite book |last=Burki |first=Shahid Javed |author-link=Shahid Javed Burki |year=1999 |orig-year=First published in 1986 |title=Pakistan: Fifty Years of Nationhood |edition=3rd |location=Boulder, CO |publisher=Westview Press |page=4 |isbn=978-0-8133-3621-3 |quote=The university that [Sir Sayyid] founded in the town of Aligarh ... not only provided the Pakistan movement with its leadership but, later, also provided the new country of Pakistan with its first ruling elite ...

Many of the top leadership of the movement were educated in Great Britain, with many of them educated at the Aligarh Muslim University. Many graduates of the Dhaka University soon also joined.

=== Lahore Resolution ===
The [[Lahore Resolution]] marked the beginning of the Pakistan movement. At the 27th annual Muslim League session in 1940 at [[Lahore]]'s [[Iqbal Park|Iqbal park]] where about 100,000 people gathered to hear Jinnah speak:
<blockquote>Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs, and literature... It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes, and different episodes... To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state.</blockquote>
At Lahore the Muslim League formally committed itself to create an independent Muslim state, including [[Sindh]], [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]], [[Baluchistan (Chief Commissioner's Province)|Baluchistan]], the [[North-West Frontier Province|North West Frontier Province]] and Bengal, that would be "wholly autonomous and sovereign". The resolution guaranteed protection for non-Muslims. The [[Lahore Resolution]], moved by the sitting Chief Minister of Bengal [[A. K. Fazlul Huq|A. K. Fazl ul Huq]], was adopted on 23 March 1940, and its principles formed the foundation for Pakistan's first constitution.
In [[Opposition to the partition of India|opposition]] to the Lahore Resolution, the [[All India Azad Muslim Conference]] gathered in Delhi in April 1940 to voice its support for a united India.<ref name="QasmiRobb2017">{{cite book |last1=Qasmi |first1=Ali Usman |last2=Robb |first2=Megan Eaton |title=Muslims against the Muslim League: Critiques of the Idea of Pakistan |date=2017 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9781108621236 |page=2 |language=en}}</ref> Its members included several Islamic organisations in India, as well as 1400 nationalist Muslim delegates.<ref name="Haq1970">{{cite book |last1=Haq |first1=Mushir U. |title=Muslim politics in modern India, 1857-1947 |date=1970 |publisher=Meenakshi Prakashan |page=114 |oclc=136880 |quote=This was also reflected in one of the resolutions of the Azad Muslim Conference, an organization which attempted to be representative of all the various nationalist Muslim parties and groups in India.}}</ref><ref name="Ahmed">{{cite web |last1=Ahmed |first1=Ishtiaq |title=The dissenters |url=https://www.thefridaytimes.com/tft/the-dissenters/ |work=[[The Friday Times]] |date=27 May 2016|quote=However, the book is a tribute to the role of one Muslim leader who steadfastly opposed the Partition of India: the Sindhi leader Allah Bakhsh Soomro. Allah Bakhsh belonged to a landed family. He founded the Sindh People’s Party in 1934, which later came to be known as ‘Ittehad’ or ‘Unity Party’. ... Allah Bakhsh was totally opposed to the Muslim League’s demand for the creation of Pakistan through a division of India on a religious basis. Consequently, he established the Azad Muslim Conference. In its Delhi session held during April 27–30, 1940 some 1400 delegates took part. They belonged mainly to the lower castes and working class. The famous scholar of Indian Islam, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, feels that the delegates represented a ‘majority of India’s Muslims’. Among those who attended the conference were representatives of many Islamic theologians and women who also took part in the deliberations ... Shamsul Islam argues that the All-India Muslim League at times used intimidation and coercion to silence any opposition among Muslims to its demand for Partition. He calls such tactics of the Muslim League a ‘Reign of Terror’. He gives examples from all over India including the NWFP where the Khudai Khidmatgars remain opposed to the Partition of India.}}</ref>
=== C. R. formula and Cabinet Mission ===
{{Main|C. R. formula|1946 Cabinet Mission to India}}
Talks were held between [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah|Jinnah]] and [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]] in 1944. Jinnah negotiated as the representative of the Muslims. Gandhi rejected and insisted that [[Indian National Congress]] alone represented all of India even the Muslims. Gandhi proposed to achieve independence from the British jointly and then settle the issue of Pakistan. Jinnah rejected and instead insisted on the [[partition of British India]] and the creation of [[Pakistan]].
The [[C. R. formula|C.R Formula]] was such a proposal by Gandhi which stated the delay of the issue of Pakistan. If Pakistan was to be created then there should be a plebiscite in Muslim majority districts in which the non-Muslims would also vote. Jinnah did not agree to the delay of the issue and rejected the formula.
In 1945 and 1946, general and provincial elections were held in India respectively. The [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] of Jinnah secured most of the Muslim vote in both elections. Jinnah interpreted the results as the entire Muslim nation's demand of Pakistan. Congress was forced to recognise the Muslim League as the sole representative of the Muslims. The same year the British sent a [[1946 Cabinet Mission to India|delegation]] to India to determine its constitutional status and to address the Hindu-Muslim differences. The delegation proposed a plan that three groups in India be formed. One would consist of the Muslim majority Northwest zone, another would consist of the Hindu majority center and the third the Eastern zone of India. Postulates included the independence of Muslim majority provinces after ten years of Indian Independence. An [[Interim Government of India|interim government]] was to be set up until independence. The [[Indian National Congress|congress Party]] rejected the separation of the provinces but agreed to the formation of an [[Interim Government of India|interim government]]. A postulate of the plan stated that which ever party will agree to the whole of the plan will be allowed to form the interim government which would be established after the General elections in 1946.
Jinnah decided to agree to the plan. The British still invited the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] to form government with the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] and the [[Viceroy of india|Viceroy of India]] assigned the Office of [[Prime Minister of India|Prime minister]] to [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Nehru]] of the Indian National Congress.
===World War II===
{{Main|India in World War II}}
On 3 September 1939, British Prime Minister [[Neville Chamberlain]] declared the [[Military history of the United Kingdom during World War II|commencement]] of war with [[Nazi Germany|Germany]]. Shortly thereafter, Viceroy [[Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow|Lord Linlithgow]] followed suit and announced that India too was at war with Germany.<ref>{{cite book |last=Bolitho |first=Hector |author-link=Hector Bolitho |year=1960 |orig-year=First published 1954 |title=Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan |location=London |publisher=John Murray |page=123 |oclc=14143745}}</ref> In 1939, the Congress leaders resigned from all [[British Indian Department|British India government]] positions to which they had elected.<ref name="Basic Books"/> The Muslim League celebrated the end of the Congress-led British Indian government, with Jinnah famously declaring it "a day of deliverance and thanksgiving".<ref name="Basic Books"/> In a secret memorandum to the British [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]], the Muslim League agreed to support the United Kingdom's war efforts—provided that the British recognise it as the only organisation that spoke for Indian Muslims.<ref name="Basic Books">{{cite book |last=Mukerjee |first=Madhusree |author-link=Madhusree Mukerjee |year=2011 |title=Churchill's Secret War: The British Empire and the Ravaging of India During World War II |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RnMTgtXQqCkC&pg=PA9 |location=New York |publisher=Basic Books |page=9 |isbn=978-0-465-02481-0}}</ref>
Following the Congress's effective protest against the United Kingdom unilaterally involving India in the war without consulting with them, the Muslim League went on to support the [[United Kingdom in World War II|British war efforts]], which allowed them to actively propagandise against the Congress with the argument of "Islam in Danger".<ref>{{cite book |last=Qureshi |first=M.

===The end of the war===
In 1942, [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Gandhi]] called for the [[Quit India Movement]] against the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the Muslim League advised Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]] that Great Britain should "divide and then Quit".<ref name="ABC-Clio"/> Negotiations between Gandhi and Viceroy [[The Viscount Wavell|Wavell]] failed, as did talks between Jinnah and Gandhi in 1944.<ref name="ABC-Clio"/> When World War II ended, the Muslim League's push for the Pakistan Movement and Gandhi's efforts for [[Indian independence movement|Indian independence]] intensified the pressure on Prime Minister Winston Churchill.<ref name="ABC-Clio"/> Given the rise of American and [[Soviet Union|Russian]] [[New world order (politics)|order]] in the world politics and the general unrest in India, Wavell called for [[1945 Indian general election|general elections]] to be held in 1945.<ref name="ABC-Clio"/>
In the 1940s, Jinnah emerged as a leader of the Indian Muslims and was popularly known as ''Quaid-e-Azam'' (‘Great Leader’). The [[1945 Indian general election|general elections]] held in 1945 for the [[Constituent Assembly of India|Constituent Assembly]] of [[British Indian Empire]], the Muslim League secured and won 434 out of 496 seats reserved for Muslims (and about 87.5% of Muslim votes) on a policy of creating an independent state of Pakistan, and with an implied threat of secession if this was not granted. The [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] which was led by [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]] and [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Nehru]] remained adamantly opposed to dividing India. The partition seems to have been inevitable after all, one of the examples being [[Lord Mountbatten]]'s statement on Jinnah: "There was no argument that could move him from his consuming determination to realize the impossible dream of Pakistan."<ref>{{cite book |author=Akbar S.

In that era, ethnolinguistic differences were subsumed under a common vision of an Islamic-inspired social and political order. However, the divisions among Muslims that did exist were exploited by the British, who practiced 'divide-and-rule' politics, displacing the Mughals and circumscribing other Islamic rulers. Moreover, the Hindus were the allies of the British, who used them to strike a balance with the Muslims; many Hindus, a fundamentally insecure people, hated Muslims and would have oppressed them in a one-man, one-vote democratic India.

In the British Indian province of [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]], Muslims placed more emphasis on the Punjabi identity they shared with Hindus and Sikhs, rather than on their religion.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} The [[Unionist Party (Punjab)|Unionist Party]], which prevailed in the [[1923 Indian general election]], [[1934 Indian general election]] and the [[1937 Indian provincial elections]], had the mass support of the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs of the Punjab; its leaders included Muslim Punjabis, such as [[Fazl-i-Hussain]] and Hindu Punjabis, such as [[Chhotu Ram]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jaffrelot |first1=Christophe |author-link=Christophe Jaffrelot |year=2015 |title=The Pakistan Paradox: Instability and Resilience |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i5GMCwAAQBAJ&pg=PG71 |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=71 |isbn=978-0-19-061330-3}}</ref> The Punjab had a slight Muslim majority, and local politics had been dominated by the secular Unionist Party and its longtime leader Sir [[Sikandar Hayat Khan (Punjabi politician)|Sikandar Hayat Khan]].

For the Muslim League to claim to represent the Muslim vote, they would need to win over the majority of the seats held by the Unionists. Following the death of Sir Sikander in 1942, and bidding to overcome their dismal showing in the elections of 1937, the Muslim League intensified campaigning throughout rural and urban Punjab.<ref>W.

To further their religious appeal, the Muslim League also launched efforts to entice [[Pir (Sufism)|Pirs]] towards their cause. Pirs dominated the religious landscape, and were individuals who claimed to inherit religious authority from [[Sufism in India|Sufi Saints]] who had proselytised in the region since the eleventh century.<ref name="Talbot" /> By the twentieth century, most Punjabi Muslims offered allegiance to a Pir as their religious guide, thus providing them considerable political influence.<ref name="Talbot" /> The Unionists had successfully cultivated the support of Pirs to achieve success in the 1937 elections, and the Muslim League now attempted to replicate their method of doing so. To do so, the Muslim League created the Masheikh Committee, used [[Urs]] ceremonies and shrines for meetings and rallies and encouraged fatwas urging support for the Muslim League.<ref name="Talbot" /> Reasons for the pirs switching allegiance varied. For the Gilani Pirs of Multan the over-riding factor was local longstanding factional rivalries, whilst for many others a shrines size and relationship with the government dictated its allegiance.<ref name="Talbot" />
Despite the Muslim League's aim to foster a united Muslim loyalty, it also recognised the need to better exploit the [[Baradari (brotherhood)|biradari]] network and appeal to primordial tribal loyalties. In 1946 it held a special Gujjar conference intending to appeal to all Muslim Gujjars, and lifted its ban on [[Jahanara Shahnawaz]] with the hope of appealing to [[Arain]] constituencies.<ref name="Talbot" /> Appealing to biradari ties enabled the Muslim League to accelerate support amongst landlords, and in turn use the landlords client-patron economic relationship with their tenants to guarantee votes for the forthcoming election.<ref name="Talbot" />
A separate strategy of the Muslim League was to exploit the economic slump suffered in the Punjab as a result of the [[Second World War]].<ref name="Talbot" /> The Punjab had supplied 27 per cent of the [[Indian Army]] recruits during the war, constituting 800,000 men, and representing a significant part of the electorate. By 1946, less than 20 per cent of those servicemen returning home had found employment.<ref name="Talbot" /> This in part was exacerbated by the speedy end to the war in Asia, which caught the Unionist's by surprise, and meant their plans to deploy servicemen to work in canal colonies were not yet ready.<ref name="Talbot" /> The Muslim League took advantage of this weakness and followed Congress's example of providing work to servicemen within its organisation.<ref name="Talbot" /> The Muslim League's ability to offer an alternative to the Unionist government, namely the promise of Pakistan as an answer to the economic dislocation suffered by Punjabi villagers, was identified as a key issue for the election.<ref name="Talbot" />
On the eve of the elections, the political landscape in the Punjab was finely poised, and the Muslim League offered a credible alternative to the Unionist Party. The transformation itself had been rapid, as most landlords and pirs had not switched allegiance until after 1944.<ref name="Talbot" /> The breakdown of talks between the Punjab Premier, [[Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana]] and [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] in late 1944 had meant many Muslims were now forced to choose between the two parties at the forthcoming election.<ref name="Talbot" /> A further blow for the Unionists came with death of its leading statesman Sir [[Chhotu Ram]] in early 1945.

Unlike the centre JUH, the directives of the JUS in the province began to take on communal tones. The JUS ulama saw the Hindus in the province as a 'threat' to Muslims. Accusations of molesting Muslim women were levelled at [[Hindu]] shopkeepers in [[Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Nowshera]], a town where anti-Hindu sermons were delivered by maullas.

However the secular stance of Ghaffar Khan, leader of the Khudai Khidmatgars, disparaging the role of religion in government and social leadership, was driving a wedge between the ulama of the JUS and the Khudai Khidmatgars, irrespective of the commitments of mutual support between the JUH and Congress leaderships. In trying to highlight the separateness and vulnerability of Muslims in a religiously diverse public space, the directives of the NWFP ulama began to veer away from simple religious injunctions to take on a communalist tone. The ulama highlighted 'threats' posed by Hindus to Muslims in the province. Accusations of improper behaviour and molestation of Muslim women were levelled against 'Hindu shopkeepers' in Nowshera. Sermons given by two JUS-connected maulvis in Nowshera declared the Hindus the 'enemies' of Islam and Muslims. Posters were distributed in the city warning Muslims not to buy or consume food prepared and sold by Hindus in the bazaars. In 1936, a Hindu girl was abducted by a Muslim in Bannu and then married to him. The government demanded the girl's return, But popular Muslim opinion, supported by a resolution passed by the Jamiyatul Ulama Bannu, demanded that she stay, stating that she had come of her free will, had converted to Islam, and was now lawfully married and had to remain with her husband. Government efforts to retrieve the girl led to accusations of the government being anti-Muslim and of encouraging apostasy, and so stirred up strong anti-Hindu sentiment across the majority Muslim NWFP. ... Involvement of the Deobandi ''ulama'' in public political activity and in the negotiation of a Muslim identity in the NWFP appeared in no way to rely upon a wider consensus of Indian Deobandis.}}</ref> By 1947 the majority of the JUS ulama in the province began supporting the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]]'s idea of Pakistan.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haroon|first=Sana|year=2008|title=The Rise of Deobandi Islam in the North-West Frontier Province and Its Implications in Colonial India and Pakistan 1914–1996|journal=Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society|volume=18|issue=1|pages=57–58|jstor=27755911|doi=10.1017/S1356186307007778|s2cid=154959326|quote=By 1947 the majority of NWFP ulama supported the Muslim League idea of Pakistan.

Immediately prior to Pakistani independence from [[Great Britain|Britain]] in 1947, the British held a referendum in the NWFP to allow voters to choose between joining [[Pakistan]] or India. The referendum was held on 2 July 1947 while polling began on 6 July 1947 and the referendum results were made public on 20 July 1947. According to the official results, there were 572,798 registered voters out of which 289,244 (99.02%) votes were cast in favor of Pakistan while only 2874 (0.98%) were cast in favor of India. According to an estimate the total turnout for the referendum was only 15% less than the total turnout in the 1946 elections.<ref>{{cite thesis |author=Muhammad Shakeel Ahmad |year=2010 |title=Electoral politics In NWFP. 1988-1999 |type=PhD |chapter=Chapter-3: Electoral history of NWFP |publisher=Quaid-i-Azam University |chapter-url=http://prr.hec.gov.pk/Chapters/1159S-3.pdf |url-status=dead |access-date=28 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810052331/http://prr.hec.gov.pk/Chapters/1159S-3.pdf |archive-date=10 August 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Pj8DIT_bva0C&q=nwfp+referendum&pg=PA108|title=The Origins of Conflict in Afghanistan|author=Jeffrey J.

[[File:Swaraaj-bugti jinnah.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Jinnah meeting with Baluchistan's leaders.]]During British rule in India, [[Baluchistan (Chief Commissioner's Province)|Baluchistan]] was under the rule of a Chief Commissioner and did not have the same status as other provinces of British India. The Muslim League under Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the period 1927-1947 strived to introduce reforms in Baluchistan to bring it on par with other provinces of British India. Apart from the pro-separatist Muslim League that was led by a non-Balochi and non-Sardar, "three pro-Congress parties were still active in Balochistan's politics", such as the [[Anjuman-i-Watan Baluchistan]], which favoured a united India.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Afzal |first1=M.

They have different ethics, different heroes, and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other and, likewise, their victories and defeats overlap.

The '''Pakistan Movement''' ({{lang-ur|{{nq|تحریکِ پاکستان}}|translit=Teḥrīk-e-Pākistān}}) was a [[List of historical separatist movements|political movement]] in the first half of the 20th century that aimed for the creation of [[Pakistan]] from the Muslim-majority areas of [[British India]]. It was connected to the perceived need for self-determination for Muslims under British rule at the time. [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] lead this movement after the [[Lahore Resolution]] was passed by [[All-India Muslim League]], on March 23rd, 1940.
Pakistan Movement started originally as the [[Aligarh Movement]], and as a result, the British Indian Muslims began to develop a secular political identity.<ref>{{cite book |last=Burki |first=Shahid Javed |author-link=Shahid Javed Burki |year=1999 |orig-year=First published in 1986 |title=Pakistan: Fifty Years of Nationhood |edition=3rd |location=Boulder, CO |publisher=Westview Press |page=4 |isbn=978-0-8133-3621-3 |quote=The university that [Sir Sayyid] founded in the town of Aligarh ... not only provided the Pakistan movement with its leadership but, later, also provided the new country of Pakistan with its first ruling elite ...

=== Lahore Resolution ===
The [[Lahore Resolution]] marked the beginning of the Pakistan movement. At the 27th annual Muslim League session in 1940 at [[Lahore]]'s [[Iqbal Park|Iqbal park]] where about 100,000 people gathered to hear Jinnah speak:
<blockquote>Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs, and literature... It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes, and different episodes... To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state.</blockquote>
At Lahore the Muslim League formally committed itself to create an independent Muslim state, including [[Sindh]], [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]], [[Baluchistan (Chief Commissioner's Province)|Baluchistan]], the [[North-West Frontier Province|North West Frontier Province]] and Bengal, that would be "wholly autonomous and sovereign". The resolution guaranteed protection for non-Muslims. The [[Lahore Resolution]], moved by the sitting Chief Minister of Bengal [[A. K. Fazlul Huq|A. K. Fazl ul Huq]], was adopted on 23 March 1940, and its principles formed the foundation for Pakistan's first constitution.
In [[Opposition to the partition of India|opposition]] to the Lahore Resolution, the [[All India Azad Muslim Conference]] gathered in Delhi in April 1940 to voice its support for a united India.<ref name="QasmiRobb2017">{{cite book |last1=Qasmi |first1=Ali Usman |last2=Robb |first2=Megan Eaton |title=Muslims against the Muslim League: Critiques of the Idea of Pakistan |date=2017 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9781108621236 |page=2 |language=en}}</ref> Its members included several Islamic organisations in India, as well as 1400 nationalist Muslim delegates.<ref name="Haq1970">{{cite book |last1=Haq |first1=Mushir U. |title=Muslim politics in modern India, 1857-1947 |date=1970 |publisher=Meenakshi Prakashan |page=114 |oclc=136880 |quote=This was also reflected in one of the resolutions of the Azad Muslim Conference, an organization which attempted to be representative of all the various nationalist Muslim parties and groups in India.}}</ref><ref name="Ahmed">{{cite web |last1=Ahmed |first1=Ishtiaq |title=The dissenters |url=https://www.thefridaytimes.com/tft/the-dissenters/ |work=[[The Friday Times]] |date=27 May 2016|quote=However, the book is a tribute to the role of one Muslim leader who steadfastly opposed the Partition of India: the Sindhi leader Allah Bakhsh Soomro. Allah Bakhsh belonged to a landed family. He founded the Sindh People’s Party in 1934, which later came to be known as ‘Ittehad’ or ‘Unity Party’. ... Allah Bakhsh was totally opposed to the Muslim League’s demand for the creation of Pakistan through a division of India on a religious basis. Consequently, he established the Azad Muslim Conference. In its Delhi session held during April 27–30, 1940 some 1400 delegates took part. They belonged mainly to the lower castes and working class. The famous scholar of Indian Islam, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, feels that the delegates represented a ‘majority of India’s Muslims’. Among those who attended the conference were representatives of many Islamic theologians and women who also took part in the deliberations ... Shamsul Islam argues that the All-India Muslim League at times used intimidation and coercion to silence any opposition among Muslims to its demand for Partition. He calls such tactics of the Muslim League a ‘Reign of Terror’. He gives examples from all over India including the NWFP where the Khudai Khidmatgars remain opposed to the Partition of India.}}</ref>
=== C. R. formula and Cabinet Mission ===
{{Main|C. R. formula|1946 Cabinet Mission to India}}
Talks were held between [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah|Jinnah]] and [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]] in 1944. Jinnah negotiated as the representative of the Muslims. Gandhi rejected and insisted that [[Indian National Congress]] alone represented all of India even the Muslims. Gandhi proposed to achieve independence from the British jointly and then settle the issue of Pakistan. Jinnah rejected and instead insisted on the [[partition of British India]] and the creation of [[Pakistan]].
The [[C. R. formula|C.R Formula]] was such a proposal by Gandhi which stated the delay of the issue of Pakistan. If Pakistan was to be created then there should be a plebiscite in Muslim majority districts in which the non-Muslims would also vote. Jinnah did not agree to the delay of the issue and rejected the formula.
In 1945 and 1946, general and provincial elections were held in India respectively. The [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] of Jinnah secured most of the Muslim vote in both elections. Jinnah interpreted the results as the entire Muslim nation's demand of Pakistan. Congress was forced to recognise the Muslim League as the sole representative of the Muslims. The same year the British sent a [[1946 Cabinet Mission to India|delegation]] to India to determine its constitutional status and to address the Hindu-Muslim differences. The delegation proposed a plan that three groups in India be formed. One would consist of the Muslim majority Northwest zone, another would consist of the Hindu majority center and the third the Eastern zone of India. Postulates included the independence of Muslim majority provinces after ten years of Indian Independence. An [[Interim Government of India|interim government]] was to be set up until independence. The [[Indian National Congress|congress Party]] rejected the separation of the provinces but agreed to the formation of an [[Interim Government of India|interim government]]. A postulate of the plan stated that which ever party will agree to the whole of the plan will be allowed to form the interim government which would be established after the General elections in 1946.
Jinnah decided to agree to the plan. The British still invited the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] to form government with the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] and the [[Viceroy of india|Viceroy of India]] assigned the Office of [[Prime Minister of India|Prime minister]] to [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Nehru]] of the Indian National Congress.
===World War II===

On 3 September 1939, British Prime Minister [[Neville Chamberlain]] declared the [[Military history of the United Kingdom during World War II|commencement]] of war with [[Nazi Germany|Germany]].

Following the Congress's effective protest against the United Kingdom unilaterally involving India in the war without consulting with them, the Muslim League went on to support the [[United Kingdom in World War II|British war efforts]], which allowed them to actively propagandise against the Congress with the argument of "Islam in Danger".<ref>{{cite book |last=Qureshi |first=M.

===The end of the war===
In 1942, [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Gandhi]] called for the [[Quit India Movement]] against the United Kingdom. On the other hand, the Muslim League advised Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]] that Great Britain should "divide and then Quit".<ref name="ABC-Clio"/> Negotiations between Gandhi and Viceroy [[The Viscount Wavell|Wavell]] failed, as did talks between Jinnah and Gandhi in 1944.<ref name="ABC-Clio"/> When World War II ended, the Muslim League's push for the Pakistan Movement and Gandhi's efforts for [[Indian independence movement|Indian independence]] intensified the pressure on Prime Minister Winston Churchill.<ref name="ABC-Clio"/> Given the rise of American and [[Soviet Union|Russian]] [[New world order (politics)|order]] in the world politics and the general unrest in India, Wavell called for [[1945 Indian general election|general elections]] to be held in 1945.<ref name="ABC-Clio"/>
In the 1940s, Jinnah emerged as a leader of the Indian Muslims and was popularly known as ''Quaid-e-Azam'' (‘Great Leader’). The [[1945 Indian general election|general elections]] held in 1945 for the [[Constituent Assembly of India|Constituent Assembly]] of [[British Indian Empire]], the Muslim League secured and won 434 out of 496 seats reserved for Muslims (and about 87.5% of Muslim votes) on a policy of creating an independent state of Pakistan, and with an implied threat of secession if this was not granted. The [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] which was led by [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]] and [[Jawaharlal Nehru|Nehru]] remained adamantly opposed to dividing India. The partition seems to have been inevitable after all, one of the examples being [[Lord Mountbatten]]'s statement on Jinnah: "There was no argument that could move him from his consuming determination to realize the impossible dream of Pakistan."<ref>{{cite book |author=Akbar S.

{{blockquote|[The ethnolinguistic-nationalist narrative] begins with a glorious precolonial state-empire when the Muslims of South Asia were politically united and culturally, civilizationally, and strategically dominant. In that era, ethnolinguistic differences were subsumed under a common vision of an Islamic-inspired social and political order. However, the divisions among Muslims that did exist were exploited by the British, who practiced 'divide-and-rule' politics, displacing the Mughals and circumscribing other Islamic rulers. Moreover, the Hindus were the allies of the British, who used them to strike a balance with the Muslims; many Hindus, a fundamentally insecure people, hated Muslims and would have oppressed them in a one-man, one-vote democratic India.

In the British Indian province of [[Punjab (British India)|Punjab]], Muslims placed more emphasis on the Punjabi identity they shared with Hindus and Sikhs, rather than on their religion.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} The [[Unionist Party (Punjab)|Unionist Party]], which prevailed in the [[1923 Indian general election]], [[1934 Indian general election]] and the [[1937 Indian provincial elections]], had the mass support of the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs of the Punjab; its leaders included Muslim Punjabis, such as [[Fazl-i-Hussain]] and Hindu Punjabis, such as [[Chhotu Ram]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jaffrelot |first1=Christophe |author-link=Christophe Jaffrelot |year=2015 |title=The Pakistan Paradox: Instability and Resilience |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i5GMCwAAQBAJ&pg=PG71 |publisher=Oxford University Press |page=71 |isbn=978-0-19-061330-3}}</ref> The Punjab had a slight Muslim majority, and local politics had been dominated by the secular Unionist Party and its longtime leader Sir [[Sikandar Hayat Khan (Punjabi politician)|Sikandar Hayat Khan]]. The Unionists had built a formidable power base in the Punjabi countryside through policies of patronage allowing them to retain the loyalty of landlords and pirs who exerted significant local influence.<ref name="Talbot">{{cite journal|last=Talbot|first=I.

For the Muslim League to claim to represent the Muslim vote, they would need to win over the majority of the seats held by the Unionists. Following the death of Sir Sikander in 1942, and bidding to overcome their dismal showing in the elections of 1937, the Muslim League intensified campaigning throughout rural and urban Punjab.<ref>W.

To further their religious appeal, the Muslim League also launched efforts to entice [[Pir (Sufism)|Pirs]] towards their cause. Pirs dominated the religious landscape, and were individuals who claimed to inherit religious authority from [[Sufism in India|Sufi Saints]] who had proselytised in the region since the eleventh century.<ref name="Talbot" /> By the twentieth century, most Punjabi Muslims offered allegiance to a Pir as their religious guide, thus providing them considerable political influence.<ref name="Talbot" /> The Unionists had successfully cultivated the support of Pirs to achieve success in the 1937 elections, and the Muslim League now attempted to replicate their method of doing so. To do so, the Muslim League created the Masheikh Committee, used [[Urs]] ceremonies and shrines for meetings and rallies and encouraged fatwas urging support for the Muslim League.<ref name="Talbot" /> Reasons for the pirs switching allegiance varied. For the Gilani Pirs of Multan the over-riding factor was local longstanding factional rivalries, whilst for many others a shrines size and relationship with the government dictated its allegiance.<ref name="Talbot" />
Despite the Muslim League's aim to foster a united Muslim loyalty, it also recognised the need to better exploit the [[Baradari (brotherhood)|biradari]] network and appeal to primordial tribal loyalties. In 1946 it held a special Gujjar conference intending to appeal to all Muslim Gujjars, and lifted its ban on [[Jahanara Shahnawaz]] with the hope of appealing to [[Arain]] constituencies.<ref name="Talbot" /> Appealing to biradari ties enabled the Muslim League to accelerate support amongst landlords, and in turn use the landlords client-patron economic relationship with their tenants to guarantee votes for the forthcoming election.<ref name="Talbot" />
A separate strategy of the Muslim League was to exploit the economic slump suffered in the Punjab as a result of the [[Second World War]].<ref name="Talbot" /> The Punjab had supplied 27 per cent of the [[Indian Army]] recruits during the war, constituting 800,000 men, and representing a significant part of the electorate. By 1946, less than 20 per cent of those servicemen returning home had found employment.<ref name="Talbot" /> This in part was exacerbated by the speedy end to the war in Asia, which caught the Unionist's by surprise, and meant their plans to deploy servicemen to work in canal colonies were not yet ready.<ref name="Talbot" /> The Muslim League took advantage of this weakness and followed Congress's example of providing work to servicemen within its organisation.<ref name="Talbot" /> The Muslim League's ability to offer an alternative to the Unionist government, namely the promise of Pakistan as an answer to the economic dislocation suffered by Punjabi villagers, was identified as a key issue for the election.<ref name="Talbot" />
On the eve of the elections, the political landscape in the Punjab was finely poised, and the Muslim League offered a credible alternative to the Unionist Party. The transformation itself had been rapid, as most landlords and pirs had not switched allegiance until after 1944.<ref name="Talbot" /> The breakdown of talks between the Punjab Premier, [[Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana]] and [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] in late 1944 had meant many Muslims were now forced to choose between the two parties at the forthcoming election.<ref name="Talbot" /> A further blow for the Unionists came with death of its leading statesman Sir [[Chhotu Ram]] in early 1945.
The [[West Punjab|Western Punjab]] was home to a minority population of Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus up to 1947 apart from the Muslim majority.<ref name="Royal Book Company">{{cite book|last=Salamat|first=Zarina|title=The Punjab in 1920s : a case study of Muslims|year=1997|publisher=Royal Book Company|location=Karachi|isbn=978-969-407-230-2}}</ref> In 1947, the [[Provincial Assembly of the Punjab|Punjab Assembly]] cast its vote in favour of Pakistan with [[Super-majority|supermajority rule]], which made many minority Hindus and Sikhs migrate to India while Muslim refugees from India settled in the Western Punjab and across Pakistan.<ref>Dube, I. &.

=== North-West Frontier Province ===
[[File:Gandhi and Abdul Gaffa Khan.jpg|thumb|250px|Bacha Khan with Gandhi in 1946.]]
The Muslim League had little support in [[North-West Frontier Province (1901–2010)|North-West Frontier Province]]. Here the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] and [[Pashtunistan|Pashtun nationalist]] leader [[Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan|Abdul Ghaffar Khan]] had considerable support for the cause of a [[opposition to the partition of India|united India]].<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica-Abdul Ghaffar Khan">{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/232353/Khan-Abdul-Ghaffar-Khan| title = Abdul Ghaffar Khan|encyclopedia = Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date = 24 September 2008}}</ref>
During the Independence period there was a [[Congress party of India|Congress]]-led ministry in the province, which was led by secular [[Pashtuns|Pashtun]] leaders, including [[Abdul Ghaffar Khan]], who preferred joining [[India]] instead of Pakistan. The secular Pashtun leadership was also of the view that if joining India was not an option then they should espouse the cause of an independent ethnic Pashtun state rather than Pakistan.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ceg-kSmft94C&q=congress+party+united+india+north+west+frontier+province&pg=PA66|title=Explaining Pakistan's Foreign Policy: Escaping India|last=Pande|first=Aparna|publisher=Taylor & Francis|year=2011|isbn=9781136818943|pages=66|quote=At Independence there was a Congress-led ministry in the North West Frontier...The Congress-supported government of the North West Frontier led by the secular Pashtun leaders, the Khan brothers, wanted to join India and not Pakistan.

Unlike the centre JUH, the directives of the JUS in the province began to take on communal tones. The JUS ulama saw the Hindus in the province as a 'threat' to Muslims. Accusations of molesting Muslim women were levelled at [[Hindu]] shopkeepers in [[Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|Nowshera]], a town where anti-Hindu sermons were delivered by maullas. Tensions also rose in 1936 over the abduction of a Hindu girl in [[Bannu]]. Such controversies stirred up anti-Hindu sentiments amongst the province's Muslim population.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haroon|first=Sana|year=2008|title=The Rise of Deobandi Islam in the North-West Frontier Province and Its Implications in Colonial India and Pakistan 1914–1996|journal=Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society|volume=18|issue=1|page=55|jstor=27755911|doi=10.1017/S1356186307007778|s2cid=154959326|quote=The stance of the central JUH was pro-Congress, and accordingly the JUS supported the Congressite Khudai Khidmatgars through to the elections of 1937. However the secular stance of Ghaffar Khan, leader of the Khudai Khidmatgars, disparaging the role of religion in government and social leadership, was driving a wedge between the ulama of the JUS and the Khudai Khidmatgars, irrespective of the commitments of mutual support between the JUH and Congress leaderships. In trying to highlight the separateness and vulnerability of Muslims in a religiously diverse public space, the directives of the NWFP ulama began to veer away from simple religious injunctions to take on a communalist tone. The ulama highlighted 'threats' posed by Hindus to Muslims in the province. Accusations of improper behaviour and molestation of Muslim women were levelled against 'Hindu shopkeepers' in Nowshera. Sermons given by two JUS-connected maulvis in Nowshera declared the Hindus the 'enemies' of Islam and Muslims. Posters were distributed in the city warning Muslims not to buy or consume food prepared and sold by Hindus in the bazaars. In 1936, a Hindu girl was abducted by a Muslim in Bannu and then married to him. The government demanded the girl's return, But popular Muslim opinion, supported by a resolution passed by the Jamiyatul Ulama Bannu, demanded that she stay, stating that she had come of her free will, had converted to Islam, and was now lawfully married and had to remain with her husband. Government efforts to retrieve the girl led to accusations of the government being anti-Muslim and of encouraging apostasy, and so stirred up strong anti-Hindu sentiment across the majority Muslim NWFP. ... Involvement of the Deobandi ''ulama'' in public political activity and in the negotiation of a Muslim identity in the NWFP appeared in no way to rely upon a wider consensus of Indian Deobandis.}}</ref> By 1947 the majority of the JUS ulama in the province began supporting the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]]'s idea of Pakistan.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haroon|first=Sana|year=2008|title=The Rise of Deobandi Islam in the North-West Frontier Province and Its Implications in Colonial India and Pakistan 1914–1996|journal=Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society|volume=18|issue=1|pages=57–58|jstor=27755911|doi=10.1017/S1356186307007778|s2cid=154959326|quote=By 1947 the majority of NWFP ulama supported the Muslim League idea of Pakistan.

Immediately prior to Pakistani independence from [[Great Britain|Britain]] in 1947, the British held a referendum in the NWFP to allow voters to choose between joining [[Pakistan]] or India. The referendum was held on 2 July 1947 while polling began on 6 July 1947 and the referendum results were made public on 20 July 1947. According to the official results, there were 572,798 registered voters out of which 289,244 (99.02%) votes were cast in favor of Pakistan while only 2874 (0.98%) were cast in favor of India.

Arguments presented by [[Ali Mazrui]] pointed out that the South Sudan's [[South Sudan Liberation Movement|movement]] led to the partition of the Sudan into Sudan proper, which is primarily Muslim, and South Sudan, which is primarily Christian and animistic.<ref name="guardian1">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/feb/09/sudan-secession-postcolonial-africa |title=Is this Pakistanism in Sudan? |first=Ali |last=Mazrui |author-link=Ali Mazrui |date=9 February 2011 |newspaper=The Guardian |access-date=31 August 2011}}</ref>
In Europe, [[Alija Izetbegović]], the first President of the [[Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina]], began to embrace the "Pakistan model" in the 1960s, alienating [[Serbs]] which would use this ideology to attack Bosniaks later on,<ref>[[Faisal Devji]], ''Muslim Zion: Pakistan as a Political Idea'', Hurst Publishers, (2013), p. 248</ref> while in his ''[[Islamic Declaration]]'' he "designated Pakistan as a model country to be emulated by Muslim revolutionaries worldwide."<ref>[[Vjekoslav Perica]], ''[[Balkan Idols: Religion and Nationalism in Yugoslav States]]'', Oxford University Press (2002), p. 77</ref>

{{blockquote|It is extremely difficult to appreciate why our Hindu friends fail to understand the real nature of Islam and Hinduism. They are not religious in the strict sense of the word, but are, in fact, different and distinct social orders, and it is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality, and this misconception of one Indian nation has troubles and will lead India to destruction if we fail to revise our notions in time. The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, literature. They neither intermarry nor interdine together and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspect on life and of life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different ethics, different heroes, and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other and, likewise, their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built for the government of such a state.<ref name=dt-march>{{cite news|url=http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00islamlinks/txt_jinnah_lahore_1940.html|title= Presidential address by Muhammad Ali Jinnah to the Muslim League Lahore, 1940|publisher=Columbia University|access-date=24 October 2016}}</ref>}}

<p>The <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahore_Resolution" title="Lahore Resolution">Lahore Resolution</a> marked the beginning of the Pakistan movement.

</p>
<blockquote><p>Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs, and literature... It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes, and different episodes... To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state.</p></blockquote>
<p>At Lahore the Muslim League formally committed itself to create an independent Muslim state, including <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindh" title="Sindh">Sindh</a>, <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab_Province_(British_India)" title="Punjab Province (British India)">Punjab</a>, <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baluchistan_(Chief_Commissioner%27s_Province)" title="Baluchistan (Chief Commissioner's Province)">Baluchistan</a>, the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North-West_Frontier_Province" title="North-West Frontier Province">North West Frontier Province</a> and Bengal, that would be "wholly autonomous and sovereign". The resolution guaranteed protection for non-Muslims.

<p>Talks were held between <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah" title="Muhammad Ali Jinnah">Jinnah</a> and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi" title="Mahatma Gandhi">Gandhi</a> in 1944. Jinnah negotiated as the representative of the Muslims. Gandhi rejected and insisted that <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">Indian National Congress</a> alone represented all of India even the Muslims. Gandhi proposed to achieve independence from the British jointly and then settle the issue of Pakistan. Jinnah rejected and instead insisted on the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_British_India" class="mw-redirect" title="Partition of British India">partition of British India</a> and the creation of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan" title="Pakistan">Pakistan</a>.
</p><p>The <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._R._formula" title="C. R. formula">C.R Formula</a> was such a proposal by Gandhi which stated the delay of the issue of Pakistan. If Pakistan was to be created then there should be a plebiscite in Muslim majority districts in which the non-Muslims would also vote. Jinnah did not agree to the delay of the issue and rejected the formula.
</p><p>In 1945 and 1946, general and provincial elections were held in India respectively. The <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-India_Muslim_League" title="All-India Muslim League">Muslim League</a> of Jinnah secured most of the Muslim vote in both elections. Jinnah interpreted the results as the entire Muslim nation's demand of Pakistan. Congress was forced to recognise the Muslim League as the sole representative of the Muslims. The same year the British sent a <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1946_Cabinet_Mission_to_India" title="1946 Cabinet Mission to India">delegation</a> to India to determine its constitutional status and to address the Hindu-Muslim differences. The delegation proposed a plan that three groups in India be formed. One would consist of the Muslim majority Northwest zone, another would consist of the Hindu majority center and the third the Eastern zone of India. Postulates included the independence of Muslim majority provinces after ten years of Indian Independence. An <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interim_Government_of_India" title="Interim Government of India">interim government</a> was to be set up until independence. The <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">congress Party</a> rejected the separation of the provinces but agreed to the formation of an <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interim_Government_of_India" title="Interim Government of India">interim government</a>. A postulate of the plan stated that which ever party will agree to the whole of the plan will be allowed to form the interim government which would be established after the General elections in 1946.
</p><p>Jinnah decided to agree to the plan. The British still invited the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">Congress</a> to form government with the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-India_Muslim_League" title="All-India Muslim League">Muslim League</a> and the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viceroy_of_india" class="mw-redirect" title="Viceroy of india">Viceroy of India</a> assigned the Office of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_India" title="Prime Minister of India">Prime minister</a> to <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawaharlal_Nehru" title="Jawaharlal Nehru">Nehru</a> of the Indian National Congress.

<p>In the British Indian province of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab_(British_India)" class="mw-redirect" title="Punjab (British India)">Punjab</a>, Muslims placed more emphasis on the Punjabi identity they shared with Hindus and Sikhs, rather than on their religion.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The Unionists had built a formidable power base in the Punjabi countryside through policies of patronage allowing them to retain the loyalty of landlords and pirs who exerted significant local influence.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup>
</p><p>For the Muslim League to claim to represent the Muslim vote, they would need to win over the majority of the seats held by the Unionists. Following the death of Sir Sikander in 1942, and bidding to overcome their dismal showing in the elections of 1937, the Muslim League intensified campaigning throughout rural and urban Punjab.<sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a></sup> A major thrust of the Muslim's League's campaign was the promotion of <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communalism_(South_Asia)" title="Communalism (South Asia)">communalism</a> and spreading fear of a supposed "Hindu threat" in a future united India.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a></sup> Muslim League activists were advised to join in communal prayers when visiting villages, and gain permission to hold meetings after the Friday prayers.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> The <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran" title="Quran">Quran</a> became a symbol of the Muslim League at rallies, and pledges to vote were made on it.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> Students, a key component of the Muslim League's activists, were trained to appeal to the electorate on communal lines, and at the peak of student activity during the Christmas holidays of 1945, 250 students from <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aligarh_Muslim_University" title="Aligarh Muslim University">Aligarh</a> were invited to campaign in the province along with 1550 members of the Punjab Muslim Student's Federation.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> A key achievement of these efforts came in enticing <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jat_Muslim" title="Jat Muslim">Muslim Jats</a> and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurjar" title="Gurjar">Gujjars</a> from their intercommunal tribal loyalties.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> In response, the Unionists attempted to counter the growing religious appeal of the Muslim League by introducing religious symbolism into their own campaign, but with no student activists to rely upon and dwindling support amongst the landlords, their attempts met with little success.
</p><p>To further their religious appeal, the Muslim League also launched efforts to entice <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pir_(Sufism)" title="Pir (Sufism)">Pirs</a> towards their cause. Pirs dominated the religious landscape, and were individuals who claimed to inherit religious authority from <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufism_in_India" title="Sufism in India">Sufi Saints</a> who had proselytised in the region since the eleventh century.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> By the twentieth century, most Punjabi Muslims offered allegiance to a Pir as their religious guide, thus providing them considerable political influence.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> The Unionists had successfully cultivated the support of Pirs to achieve success in the 1937 elections, and the Muslim League now attempted to replicate their method of doing so. To do so, the Muslim League created the Masheikh Committee, used <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urs" title="Urs">Urs</a> ceremonies and shrines for meetings and rallies and encouraged fatwas urging support for the Muslim League.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> Reasons for the pirs switching allegiance varied. For the Gilani Pirs of Multan the over-riding factor was local longstanding factional rivalries, whilst for many others a shrines size and relationship with the government dictated its allegiance.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup>
</p><p>Despite the Muslim League's aim to foster a united Muslim loyalty, it also recognised the need to better exploit the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baradari_(brotherhood)" title="Baradari (brotherhood)">biradari</a> network and appeal to primordial tribal loyalties. In 1946 it held a special Gujjar conference intending to appeal to all Muslim Gujjars, and lifted its ban on <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jahanara_Shahnawaz" title="Jahanara Shahnawaz">Jahanara Shahnawaz</a> with the hope of appealing to <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arain" title="Arain">Arain</a> constituencies.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> Appealing to biradari ties enabled the Muslim League to accelerate support amongst landlords, and in turn use the landlords client-patron economic relationship with their tenants to guarantee votes for the forthcoming election.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup>
</p><p>A separate strategy of the Muslim League was to exploit the economic slump suffered in the Punjab as a result of the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Second World War">Second World War</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> The Punjab had supplied 27 per cent of the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Army" title="Indian Army">Indian Army</a> recruits during the war, constituting 800,000 men, and representing a significant part of the electorate. By 1946, less than 20 per cent of those servicemen returning home had found employment.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> This in part was exacerbated by the speedy end to the war in Asia, which caught the Unionist's by surprise, and meant their plans to deploy servicemen to work in canal colonies were not yet ready.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> The Muslim League took advantage of this weakness and followed Congress's example of providing work to servicemen within its organisation.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> The Muslim League's ability to offer an alternative to the Unionist government, namely the promise of Pakistan as an answer to the economic dislocation suffered by Punjabi villagers, was identified as a key issue for the election.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup>
</p><p>On the eve of the elections, the political landscape in the Punjab was finely poised, and the Muslim League offered a credible alternative to the Unionist Party. The transformation itself had been rapid, as most landlords and pirs had not switched allegiance until after 1944.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> The breakdown of talks between the Punjab Premier, <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malik_Khizar_Hayat_Tiwana" title="Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana">Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana</a> and <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah" title="Muhammad Ali Jinnah">Muhammad Ali Jinnah</a> in late 1944 had meant many Muslims were now forced to choose between the two parties at the forthcoming election.<sup id="cite_ref-Talbot_36-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Talbot-36">[36]</a></sup> A further blow for the Unionists came with death of its leading statesman Sir <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhotu_Ram" title="Chhotu Ram">Chhotu Ram</a> in early 1945.
</p><p>The <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Punjab" title="West Punjab">Western Punjab</a> was home to a minority population of Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus up to 1947 apart from the Muslim majority.<sup id="cite_ref-Royal_Book_Company_39-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Royal_Book_Company-39">[39]</a></sup> In 1947, the <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincial_Assembly_of_the_Punjab" title="Provincial Assembly of the Punjab">Punjab Assembly</a> cast its vote in favour of Pakistan with <a href="/https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-majority" class="mw-redirect" title="Super-majority">supermajority rule</a>, which made many minority Hindus and Sikhs migrate to India while Muslim refugees from India settled in the Western Punjab and across Pakistan.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a></sup>

They are not religious in the strict sense of the word, but are, in fact, different and distinct social orders, and it is a dream that the Hindus and Muslims can ever evolve a common nationality, and this misconception of one Indian nation has troubles and will lead India to destruction if we fail to revise our notions in time. The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, literature. They neither intermarry nor interdine together and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspect on life and of life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different ethics, different heroes, and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other and, likewise, their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be so built for the government of such a state.<sup id="cite_ref-dt-march_118-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dt-march-118">[118]</a></sup></p></blockquote>

Allah Bakhsh belonged to a landed family. He founded the Sindh People’s Party in 1934, which later came to be known as ‘Ittehad’ or ‘Unity Party’. ... Allah Bakhsh was totally opposed to the Muslim League’s demand for the creation of Pakistan through a division of India on a religious basis. Consequently, he established the Azad Muslim Conference. In its Delhi session held during April 27–30, 1940 some 1400 delegates took part. They belonged mainly to the lower castes and working class. The famous scholar of Indian Islam, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, feels that the delegates represented a ‘majority of India’s Muslims’. Among those who attended the conference were representatives of many Islamic theologians and women who also took part in the deliberations ... Shamsul Islam argues that the All-India Muslim League at times used intimidation and coercion to silence any opposition among Muslims to its demand for Partition. He calls such tactics of the Muslim League a ‘Reign of Terror’. He gives examples from all over India including the NWFP where the Khudai Khidmatgars remain opposed to the Partition of India.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=The+Friday+Times&rft.atitle=The+dissenters&rft.date=2016-05-27&rft.aulast=Ahmed&rft.aufirst=Ishtiaq&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbackend.710302.xyz%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fwww.thefridaytimes.com%2Ftft%2Fthe-dissenters%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APakistan+Movement" class="Z3988"></span></span>

However the secular stance of Ghaffar Khan, leader of the Khudai Khidmatgars, disparaging the role of religion in government and social leadership, was driving a wedge between the ulama of the JUS and the Khudai Khidmatgars, irrespective of the commitments of mutual support between the JUH and Congress leaderships. In trying to highlight the separateness and vulnerability of Muslims in a religiously diverse public space, the directives of the NWFP ulama began to veer away from simple religious injunctions to take on a communalist tone. The ulama highlighted 'threats' posed by Hindus to Muslims in the province. Accusations of improper behaviour and molestation of Muslim women were levelled against 'Hindu shopkeepers' in Nowshera. Sermons given by two JUS-connected maulvis in Nowshera declared the Hindus the 'enemies' of Islam and Muslims. Posters were distributed in the city warning Muslims not to buy or consume food prepared and sold by Hindus in the bazaars. In 1936, a Hindu girl was abducted by a Muslim in Bannu and then married to him. The government demanded the girl's return, But popular Muslim opinion, supported by a resolution passed by the Jamiyatul Ulama Bannu, demanded that she stay, stating that she had come of her free will, had converted to Islam, and was now lawfully married and had to remain with her husband. Government efforts to retrieve the girl led to accusations of the government being anti-Muslim and of encouraging apostasy, and so stirred up strong anti-Hindu sentiment across the majority Muslim NWFP. ... Involvement of the Deobandi <i>ulama</i> in public political activity and in the negotiation of a Muslim identity in the NWFP appeared in no way to rely upon a wider consensus of Indian Deobandis.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+the+Royal+Asiatic+Society&rft.atitle=The+Rise+of+Deobandi+Islam+in+the+North-West+Frontier+Province+and+Its+Implications+in+Colonial+India+and+Pakistan+1914%E2%80%931996&rft.volume=18&rft.issue=1&rft.pages=55&rft.date=2008&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbackend.710302.xyz%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A154959326%23id-name%3DS2CID&rft_id=%2F%2Fwww.jstor.org%2Fstable%2F27755911%23id-name%3DJSTOR&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1017%2FS1356186307007778&rft.aulast=Haroon&rft.aufirst=Sana&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APakistan+Movement" class="Z3988"></span></span>
