Re: Two-Nation Theory v Most Favoured Nation (MFN) Status
we must look at the 1936 Elections also the composition Of Muslim leaque
Muslim leaque like Congress was the British attempt to prepare a second tier local leadership , kind of loyal subjects from with , who could be used to rule .
Remember , never in the history of British India , were ever British more then 30,000-35,000 in number .
Congress was first created , but it created doubts in the mind of their Muslim subjects , so Muslims were encouraged to form Muslim leaque , remember Muslims always are divided in Rulers and ruled , Hakim and riyayaa … thats why A Bengali Nawab 's house was used to form Muslim leaque
the first point in the charter of Muslim leque was
" … Loyality the the British crown …"
most of its Leaders including M A Jinnah were trained by British In Britian
they started claiming as the sole representatives of Muslims Interests , so when this claim was tested in the 1936’s election , it fell flat .
Muslims leaque with a claim to be the sole representative of muslim interests bagged only 2 seats out 84 in Punjab , and 19 out of 129 seats in Bengal .
so much for the claim …
it is at that point another group of British Loyalists the feudals were taken on board , and Jinnah - Sikandar pact is the example of it …
with support from the Feudal group ensured , a massive campaign using religion and language was initiated , and the alienation process between Muslims and Hindus started , … let me say , whenever there is a fire , there is smoke , so …thing do were dicy , wiz a wiz religion sentimentalism ,
and that did the tirck , as the 46’s election showed the effective result …and the rest is history .
I have got a go … may continue later …
Thanks for your input with facts on ‘do nazria fraud’. A long time ago I read somewhere that there was understanding between stake holders that there would be no migration after peaceful partition of India, whether it was said by Qauid or in Abul Kalam Azad’s book “India Wins Freedom”. If you have any knowledge about this please share.
