Q 5 : What is the factors creating the Idea of a Separate Homeland ? Ans : Ideology of Pakistan was created when Muslims of Indo-Pak Sub Continent developed a specific attitude of mind that they are different from Hindus. This was due to the injustices done to the Muslims by British and Hindus. Some of these are: 1. Anti Muslim Campaign The Hindus and British joined hands to destroy the faith, belief, customs and national importance of Muslims because Muslim rebellion was creating much problem for both. 2. Inacceptance of British Rule Muslims had been ruling the Sub Continent for ages. Therefore, they could not resist any power over them. When British came to rule the Sub Continent, Muslims were the only nation who opposed them. Thus, in order to gain power, British had to crush the Muslims collectively. 3. Hindus Betrayed Muslims In the beginning, Hindus appeared to be on Muslim’s side, but later on their hostility was exposed as they opposed various steps taken by British Government which purely benefited for Muslims. 4. Refusal of Muslim identity British wanted to implement parliamentary system in Sub Continent in which the majority was the power and authority. Due to Hindu majority it was probable that if British left India undivided, it would fall under the Hindus rule. Further more, Hindus did not accept the separate identity of Muslims and thus, there were no chances of freedom even after the British rule. 5. War of 1857 In 1857, Muslims and Hindus tried to expel the British out of India but failed. Later due to Hindu conspiracies, Muslims were held responsible for it and hence were crushed further by Britishers.
