Why did some Muslim leaders want this separate state What worried them about united India?

Answer 1

First you have to know about the history of subcontinent,Muslims ruled subcontinent more than 600years, and when britishers conqured this land and started ruling,Hindus were against already coz Muslims ruled them and britishers against Muslims coz they took over their government so naturally both (hindus,britishers) helped each other and started to crush Muslims in every field from business to education to religion. Quaid -e-Azam Muhammed ali jinnah was first member of Indian congress and supporter of Hindu Muslim brotherhood but with time he realised and he quited that party and joined Muslim league,.Muslims have seprate culture from hindus, and it was proved in 1946 election in which 90% of Muslims voted Muslim league as their party and demanded Pakistan as seprate country. when India was came into being in 1947, Muslims ratio in jobs were 15% more or less and after 60yrs ,their ratio is now less than 5%. and every year hundreds of mulims killed in riots, their holy places are demolish. soits good and wise decision that Muslims demanded seprate nation.

Answer 2

As a minority, Muslims were afraid (incorrectly as history has demonstrated) that they would be railroaded by Hindus and subject to unequal and discriminatory treatment in a united Indian subcontinent. As a result, they fled India to the Muslim-majority areas of Pakistan and Bangladesh to avoid the possible discrimination.

Answer 3

Muslims demanded separate homeland so that they can practice their religion where they can get rights.
