the formation of consolidated
north west Indian Muslim state appears to me the
final destiny of the Muslims ,at least of north west
India .the life of Islam as cultural force in this living
country very largely depends on its centralization in
a specified territory. I, therefore demand the
formation of consolidated Muslim state in the best
interests of India and Islam.
Quaid e azam
• Quaid e azam considered the Islamic system
fully applicable .he wanted to
establish the system of the country on the basis of
Quran . In the session of all India Muslim league
at Karachi in 1943 , he said: what relation ship
knits the Muslims into one whole , which is the
formidable rock on which muslim edifice has been
erected, which is the sheet anchor providing basis

These four Muslim leaders have
same school of thought.
They have a demand that time to
have a separate state for the
Muslims.
In fact two nation theory was T.N.T
for Hindus , and for the Muslims this
was the ideology which can change
the life of Muslims.
The main thing was that Muslims
and Hindus were different in every
perspective of life.
At last Muslims got their separate
state.
We should clap for the Muslims for
having a great succeed.
