According to the 'two-nation theory' India consisted of not one but two 'people' Hindus and Muslims. Which one of the following political parties initially opposed this theory and the demand for Pakistan?

Indian National Congress

The correct answer is Option (1) → Indian National Congress

• The Two-Nation Theory, articulated by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League, argued that Hindus and Muslims were separate nations and therefore required separate states (leading to the demand for Pakistan).

• The Indian National Congress strongly opposed this theory, maintaining that India was one nation where people of all religions could live together under a secular framework.
