The document discusses the factors that led to the separation of Muslims and Hindus in the Indian subcontinent, ultimately leading to the creation of Pakistan. It identifies religious, cultural, social, economic, political, educational, and linguistic differences between the two communities. Specifically, it notes that Muslims and Hindus had different religious beliefs and practices, as well as differences in culture, social hierarchies, economic opportunities after 1857, languages, and political representation. These various differences reinforced the idea that Muslims and Hindus were distinct nations, leading Muslim leaders to demand a separate homeland where they could live freely according to Islamic principles.

Factors leading to Muslim Separation:-

There are a few factors which spit the inhabitants of the


sub continent into two nations.

Religious Difference

The Muslims and Hindus have different religious.


Islam preaches Tauheed and believes in equality of
man before law. Muslims are believed of ALLAH, Holy
Prophet (P.B.U.H).
The Holy Book holds a cohesive approach towards
life. Whole the Hindus follow the religion which is
based on the concept of multiple Gods.
They follow a caste system and the society is divided
into four classes.

HINDU NATIONALISM

A number of Hindus nationalism movement which


spring up from time to time addict fuel to the five by
playing up the tension which already existed
between the two communities.
The nationalist leaders totally ignored the great
contribution made by Muslims by way of promoting
education and other social activities.
They failed up the criminal discord to further polite the
political conditions.

CULTURE DIFFERENCE :-
Muslims follow an Islamic culture while Hindus
follow self built culture. Muslims burry their dead
ones while Hindus burn them. Both Hindus and Muslims
have totally opposite culture.

SOCIAL DIFFERENCE:-

There exist a number of social differences between


the Hindus and Muslims. The food, their clothing,
words and salutations, the gestures are totally
different.

ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE

After 1857, Muslims economy was crushed and all


the trade policies were formed in such a way so as
to destroy the Muslims ambition. They were thrown
out of Government services and their estate and
properties were confiscated. However the Hindus were
provided ample opportunities to make program.
Freedom

In the subcontinent the Muslim leaders were


foreseeing the future of muslims that when British
government will leave subcontinent hindus will try
their best to get charge all over subcontinent and at
that time they will openly remove muslim
community by killing them so they put the demand
of a separate homeland where they can lead their
life according the teachings of islam and also with the
great freedom.

Self respect and dignity


Hindus always hated muslims and they never want
Muslims to get success in any field of life .British
government played a vital role in keeping Muslims
backward by eliminating all job vacancies in
subcontinent.Hindus tried to rape Muslim women
and tried to kill them so the self respect of
muslims was badly damaged in subcontinent .It
was necessary for them to demand for a separate
homeland where they have complete free
atmosphere to live a perfect religious life with
perfect self respect and dignity.

EDUCATIONAL DIFFERENCE:-

The Hindus had advanced in educational field


because they readily acquired English education.
The Muslims were not able to acquire modern
knowledge so they lacked behind in education.

POLITICAL DIFFERENCE

There were many political differences which gave both


to the partition of India.

Political Differences

The political differences between the Hindus and


Muslims have played an important role in the
development and evolution of Two Nation Theory.

(i) Hindi Urdu Controversy

In 1867,Hindus demands that Urdu should be


written in Hindi Script instead of Persian script.This
created another gap between Hindus and Muslims.

(ii) Congress Attitude

The Indian national Congress was founded in


1885.It claimed to represent all communities of
India but oppressed all Muslim ideas and supported the
Hindus.

(iii) Partition of Bengal

In 1905,the partition of Bengal ensured a number of


political benefits for the Muslims,but the Hindus
launched an agitation against the partition and
partition was annulled in 1911.
iv.Language

Hindus and Muslims have different languages. The


Muslims and Hindus wrote and spoke two different
languages .The language of the former was Urdu
and it was written in Arabic Script.On the other
hand ,the Hindi language was spoken by Hindus
and it was written in Sanskrit.Urdu and Hindi
language had the difference in writing,thoughts of
poetry,arts,painting and words of music.Even this small
difference lead to a stirring conflict between the two
nations.

CONCLUSION

The Muslims apprehended that they would lose


their identity if they remained a part of Hindu
society.They also came to realize the above
mentioned differences between them and the
Hindus and hence demanded separate electorate
on the ground that they were different nation from
Hindus.

Hence it is right to say that this theory i.e two nation


theory is the basis of the creation of Pakistan because
without this as a base,Pakistan would not come into
being on 14th August ,1947,and we would not be
breathing freely in this open air of Pakistan.
