Whereas Jinnah under Indian muslim league was in favour of a seperate state for muslims, Mahatma Gandhi under Indian Congress advocated for a Secular India. This sowed the seed for breach of trust and created suspicision between the two communities. Though the goals were cherished with creation of Pakistan and a Secular Indian democratic republic, now the minorities are treated as tools for winning elections by all the political parties in India.
Gandhi proposed Jinnah as first prime minister of independent India just to avoid partition of India in the name of religion. He tried to convince Jinnah so that he could give up his aspirations for a separate state for Indian Muslims. But the proposal was rejected by congress itself! The standoff between Muslim League and Indian National Congress prolonged until both sides agreed for partition.
Sir syed ahmed khan gave two nation theoryThe two-nation theory is an ideology of religious nationalism which significantly influenced the Indian subcontinent following its independence from the British Empire. According to this theory, Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations, with their own customs, religion, and traditions; therefore, from social and moral points of view, Muslims should be able to have their own separate homeland outside of Hindu-majority India, in which Islam is the dominant religion, and be segregated from Hindus and other non-Muslims.[1][2] The two-nation theory advocated by the All India Muslim League is the founding principle of the Pakistan Movement (i.e. the ideology of Pakistan as a Muslim nation-state in the northwestern and eastern regions of India) through the partition of India in 1947.[3]A map of the British Indian Empire, 1909, including BritishIndia and the princely states, showing the majority religionsThe ideology that religion is the determining factor in defining the nationality of Indian Muslims was undertaken by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who termed it as the awakening of Muslims for the creation of Pakistan.[4] It is also a source of inspiration to several Hindu nationalist organisations, with causes as varied as the redefinition of Indian Muslims as non-Indian foreigners and second-class citizens in India, the expulsion of all Muslims from India, the establishment of a legally Hindu state in India (which is currently secular), prohibition of conversions to Islam, and the promotion of conversions or reconversions of Indian Muslims to Hinduism.[5][6][7][8]There are varying interpretations of the two-nation theory, based on whether the two postulated nationalities can coexist in one territory or not, with radically different implications. One interpretation argued for the secession of the Muslim-majority areas of British India and saw differences between Hindus and Muslims as irreconcilable; this interpretation nevertheless promised a democratic state where Muslims and non-Muslims would be treated equally.[9] A different interpretation holds that a transfer of populations (i.e. the total removal of Hindus from Muslim-majority areas and the total removal of Muslims from Hindu-majority areas) is a desirable step towards a complete separation of two incompatible nations that "cannot coexist in a harmonious relationship".[10][11]Opposition to the two-nation theory came from both nationalist Muslims and Hindus, being based on two concepts.[12][13] The first is the concept of a single Indian nation, of which Hindus and Muslims are two intertwined communities.[14] The second source of opposition is the concept that while Indians are not one nation, neither are the Muslims or Hindus of India, and it is instead the relatively homogeneous provincial units of the Indian subcontinent which are true nations and deserving of sovereignty; this view has been presented by the Baloch,[15] Sindhi,[16] Bengali,[17] and Pashtun[18] sub-nationalities of Pakistan, with Bengalis seceding from Pakistan after the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971 and other separatist movements in Pakistan are currently in-place.[17][19]The state of India officially rejected the two-nation theory and chose to be a secular state, enshrining the concepts of religious pluralism and composite nationalism in its constitution;[20][13] however, in response to the separatist tendencies of the All India Muslim League, many Hindu nationalist organisations worked to give Hinduism a privileged position within the country.[5][6][7][8]
Pakistan declared its independence from Great Britain in 1947. Pakistan arose out of the demand for a autonomous state for Muslim Indians. Over the course of the 19th century Britain imposed changes to India that made Muslims living in north India uncomfortable. The Muslims felt more and more marginalized by Britain; the Muslims were afraid they would lose all their influence and privilege in north India. Early in the 20th century, with their backs against the wall, Muslims established the Muslim League, a political party that expressed the concerns of the Muslims in India. The Muslim League leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah began calling for a separate Muslim state, as he believed Islam and Hinduism were too different to exist concurrently. By the time Britain ended its rule in India in 1947, the Muslims had enough support to establish their own state, Pakistan.
Well for one the Empire state building was finished
It was Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Also called Quaid-e-Azam (or the Great Leader) for his achievement.
The Muslims of Sub-continent India wanted to establish an Independent Muslim State in the areas where they were in majority: East Bengal, the Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and North West Frontier Province. This Independent State, Islamic Republic of Pakistan, came into being on 14th August, 1947.
Because the Muslims refused to agree on a single state.
From 1937 to 1939 Muslims suffers the behaviour of Congress and the Hindus those were the dark days for Muslims that's why all the Muslims unite and support the Muslim league for the separate Muslim state and then the Lahore Resolution was passed
As India gained its independence from Britain, the Hindus and Muslims living there conflicted. There was a Hindu majority in India, which made the Muslims worry about future oppression. Mohammad Ali Jinnah thought it would be safest and in the best ideals to create an independent Muslim state.

Every state in America has Muslims.
the empire state building was the tallest building built in the early 1930s
Elite Muslims founded the All-India Muslim League (AIML) in the British India Empire. The league alongside other Muslims lobbied for the formation of a separate Islamic state. In 1947, the nation of Pakistan was detached from India.
