If not according to Islam- then why so much struggle for a separate country- we could have lived not according to Islam under Hindus very easily- Dont ignore the fact that the majority of Muslims who supported Jinnah for a separate country wanted an Islamic state govern by Islamic law- thats how Jinnah won their votes-
Just because Jinnah was of secular beliefs doesn't mean that the Muslims that supported him for a separate nation were secular aswell-
If not according to Islam then why?
I have answered this many times and I will answer it once more for those who can't be bothered to read Pakistan's history.
Jinnah's argument was that in British India, the difference between a majority (Hindu) and minority (Muslim) had become so profound that they were classified by their religion and not as Indians alone hurting the state they were in. The ever growing communal tensions and agitations meant that the two groups were more concerned about fighting and demeaning each other rather than working for India. He even accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan and all it did was further cement Jinnah's view that the two groups could not and cannot work together, this was all at the expense of the nation.
With the creation of Pakistan, he said that we can remove this friction and allow India and Pakistan to flourish together as partners, as two nations side by side. With the creation of Pakistan, Indians would only become Indian and Pakistani's would only become Pakistani's, not Muslim, Hindu, Christian or Parsi or any other identity that causes negation to the state.
Jinnah never stated that it was going to be an Islamic state, this brought him the ire of the religious clerics of British India who opposed Pakistan tooth and nail. Jinnah went onto find support amongst other groups who worked with him and this brought even more aggression towards him.
Jinnah won because he promised a land for Muslims, not an Islamic state.
The Muslims who supported him knew that Pakistan was going to be a land for all, not just Muslims, everyone would be equal and they will all be classified as Pakistani's and Pakistani's alone, not by religions, caste or creed.
The Muslims who did support him were of secular persuasion and were noted leaders of their own groups or sects.
Here is a picture of the roundtable conference, look these people up and then tell learn about this state.
Sardar Aurangzeb, A. K. Fazl-ul-Haq, Nawab Chhatari, Mian Muhammad Shafi, Sir Aga Khan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Sir Muhammad Zafarullah Khan, Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum and Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah
