Jinnah's Two-Nation Theory

Jinnah's Two-Nation Theory posits that Hindus and Muslims in the Indian subcontinent are distinct nations with their own cultures, religions, and social practices. He argued that these differences are so profound that they cannot coexist peacefully within a single country. Therefore, Muslims should have their own separate nation to protect their identity, religion, and rights, which led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. This theory emphasized recognizing and respecting diverse national identities to ensure fair treatment and self-determination for minority groups.
