Which organisation advanced the "Two-nation theory" in 1940s? |
Indian National Congress Hindu Mahasabha Muslim League Indian League |
Muslim League |
The correct answer is Option (3) → Muslim League " On 14-15 August 1947, not one but two nation-states came into existence – India and Pakistan. This was a result of ‘partition’, the division of British India into India and Pakistan. The drawing of the border demarcating the territory of each country marked the culmination of political developments that you have read about in the history textbooks. 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 the Muslims. The Congress opposed this theory and the demand for Pakistan." |
