Politics in India Since Independence: Challenges of nation Building

Question:

Which of the following didn't support the Two-nation theory proposed by the Muslim League during the freedom struggle?

Options:

British

Muslim league

Congress

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Congress

Explanation:

Congress party opposed the partition of the country proposed by the Muslim League in the Two nation theory on basis of religion.

According to the ‘two-nation theory’ advanced by the Muslim League, India consisted of not one but two ‘people’, Hindus and Muslims. That is why it demanded Pakistan, a separate country for Muslims.
This theory fueled the demand for a separate Muslim-majority state.
Furthermore, it is important to note that not all Muslim-majority regions expressed a desire to be a part of Pakistan. Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, widely known as the 'Frontier Gandhi', strongly opposed the concept of two-nation theory.
