Topic > Jinnah's Responsible for the Partition of India

Jinnah's communal approach was instrumental in the formation of Pakistan. But was Jinnah solely responsible for the partition of India? There are many points of view on this question. Some believe that Jinnah was solely responsible for the creation of Pakistan. It is stated that: Mohammad Ali Jinnah feared that Muslims would be excluded from the prospects of advancement if the country was governed by a Hindu social organization. For this reason he transformed the league into a tool to unite Indian Muslims. He then emerged as the leader of the Muslims and under his leadership, the League adopted the resolution to form a separate Muslim state in 1940. Although the Congress and the British were against it, Jinnah led the movement with such skill that he forced the Congress and the British they accept the partition of India.
