The Muslims were late in realising that the independence according to Congress' conception would reduce them to the status of dependency, even worse than under the British rule. Muslim leadership, after having bitter experience from the Congress and British, decided to form their own political party. Muslim League was then formed in 1906. Innumerable Muslim Leaders, Muslim newspapers, Ulema, Heads of Muslim States, Anjumans and parties like Khilafat Movement and Khaksar played a vital role within their sphere and met controversial treatment with Congress and the British. By 1930 Muslims ceased to regard themselves as minority and advocated that there .are Hindus and Muslims, two nations living in India

Muslim League emerged as a powerful political party. Allama Iqbal rightly said in his presidential address at League's Allahabad session in 1930 that 'Muslim demand for the creation of Muslim India, within India, was therefore perfectly justified'. The name 'Pakistan' coined by Ch. Rehmat Ali at Cambridge. Muslim League held its session at Lahore in1940 and passed the 'Pakistan Resolution'. From 1940 to 1947 the partition of the sub-continent remained the explosive issue of Indian politics between British, Congress and the League. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Great Muslim Leader (Quaid-e-Azam) led League throughout the negotiations and got Britain and Congress agreed to the partition. Thus the British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act on July 18, 1947, and the independent state of Pakistan came into existence on 14th August, 1947. ۔
