under the same rulers. Their integaration was inconceivable and, even the Mughal emperor
Akbar,s effort to unify both the Hindus and Muslims into a single nation had unify both the
Hindus and Muslims into a single nation had miserable failed. The Muslims were in a state of
agony at the hands of Hindus and the British as well. Quaid-i-azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah

taken for granted mistakenly that Muslims are a Minority. He said, Muslims belong to two
religions, philosophies, nation.Hindu and Muslims belong to two relligions, philosophies, social
customs and literature. They neither inter-marry nor interdine and indeed belong to different
civilizations which are basedd on conflicting ideas and conceptions; their concepts of life are
different, as such they must have their homeland, their territory and their state.

become known as the two nation theory that political independence from other regions and
commmunities of india.

possibility of peace in the country unless and until they were recognized as a nation and under a
federal system, the Muslim majority units were given the same privileges which were to be given
the same privileges which were to be given to the hindu majority units.
Iqbal thus stressed not only the need for the political unity of Muslim communities but the
undersirability of blending the Muslim. Population into a wider society not based on islamic
prinicples. However, he would not educidate or specify if his ideal islamic state would construe a
theocracy, even as he rejected secularism and nationalism. The latter part of iqbal’s life was

political and financial support for the League, and he reiterated his ideas in his 1932 address,
and during the third Round Table Conference, he opposed the congress and proposals for transfer
of power withour considerable autonomy .
