No they did not vote overwhelmingly - muslim league won only 40% seats of the present day Pakistan - it means the majority of the people of Pakistan were not in favour of making of Pakistan.

1937 Indian provincial elections - Wikipedia

ML won only 113 out of 285 seats.

Pakistan came into being only because of votes of Bengal and minority provinces.

You are seeing wrong election. Please check election results of 1946. Muslims of subcontinent overwhelmingly voted for League.

@Mostar95

Among the people who came to Sindh after migration - at least 10% of the people coming from UP, Bihar and CP were born rioters and these same people created a lot of violence in Sindh over the last 70 years and these same type of people are in MQM.

The entire migration was spearheaded by UP, Bihar and Bombay. and the logic that grandson of a rioter will be rioter now is little too much for me.

@khoji

It is just your anti-Muslim bias showing. What you posted above is mere opinion.
History tells that Muslims were overwhelmingly in support of a single country but they were scared away by the Hindutva followers in Congress.
Even in minority provinces, which were the heart of Muslim League support, majority of Muslims started supporting the concept of a separate country very late. It started after 1937 elections. It was those elections which gave Muslims a glimpse of what to expect under the Hindutva rule.

And looking at the condition of Muslims in Bharat today, they were not totally mistaken.

I will answer the next argument coming from Muslim-haters. Muslims would have been much better if they were united. They would have constituted a healthy minority of about 30% in a single Bharat Mata.
This argument is a farce. Most Muslim majority places were lagging economically from the rest of the British Raj. Be it Muslim-majority East Bengal vs Hindu-majority West Bengal. NWFP, Balochistan, Sindh, or Kashmir.
And this is when the place was under the BRITISH rule. Things could have been far worse in Muslim-majority areas under Hindutva leaders of Hindu-majority Bharat.
Whether the Muslim population be 30% or 40%, it would still have been an economically-deprived minority.

Question: So is the communal problem solved in Pakistan? Just a curious question?

Muslims of India did not listen to Moulana A K Azad and migrated to a country where they were not supposed to be. They weakened their brothers who were left behind. They are now suffering due to this dilemma. But there are other causes as well such low literacy rates and large families.

Muslims in India will remain where they are because they chose to be. I am born jatt Sikh. We were involved in worst street gangasterism, then terrorism in the decade of 80s. It took us just another decade to bounce back and get into mainstream, our people became PM, COAS etc. Muslim due to their own reasons will never be able to reach this. Except muslim minority, every other minority is doing good, be it Jains, Parsis or Sikhs
