I have often read these lines on this forum.
Is there any authentic antecedent for this ?
Nope. Invented AFTER Pakistan came into being.
Appears so , in fact after 1971 as Bengal finds no mention whereas the idea of a muslim nation sprouted from there.
I'll wait for a responsible Pak poster to confirm/ deny this.
It was termed in 1933 by Choudhry Rahmat Ali one of the earliest visionaries of Pakistan. They never included Bangladesh because they never sought Bangladesh to be apart of this new country which would have historical, religious, ethnic, cultural; ties. Bangladesh other than religion has nothing in common with us.
The idea of a Muslim nation never 'sprouted' from Bangladesh' - they just gave immense support and joined along; even though many influential people were against it. These five regions that would later become Pakistan also had little in common with the rest of the Raj as well.
