The correct answer is Option 2- Mohammad Ali Jinnah
Muhammad Ali Jinnah: He is widely recognized as the key proponent of the Two-Nation Theory. He argued that Muslims and Hindus were distinct nations with incompatible cultures and religions, ultimately leading to the partition of India in 1947.
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan: While Sir Syed Ahmed Khan is sometimes referred to as the "architect" of the Two-Nation Theory, his views were more nuanced. He did contribute to the idea of separate Muslim identities, but Jinnah is credited with fully developing and popularizing it for political purposes.
Mohammad Iqbal: A renowned poet-philosopher who influenced Muslim nationalism in India. His work, particularly the concept of a separate Muslim homeland, resonated with the Two-Nation Theory, but he wasn't its primary proponent.
Badruddin Tayabji: A prominent Indian Muslim lawyer and politician who opposed the Two-Nation Theory and advocated for Hindu-Muslim unity. |
