Pakistan Proposals • Before that many proposals had already been forwarded by leading politicians and reformers. • Syed Jamal-ud-Din Afghani, the great reformer proposed to make the northern part of the sub-continent an independent Muslim State. • Mulana Abdul HalimShara, the famous Urdu novelist and critic, suggested in an article on 23 August, 1890, that India should be divided into two Hindu and Muslim states.

  4. Cont… • He also suggested that the population of both states should be exchanged to allow the people to go to their country of choice. • In 1917 two brothers known as Khairi Brothers. Dr. Abdul Jabbar Khairi and Prof. Abdul Sattar Khairi proposed the partition of sub-continent in the Socialist International Conference held at Stockholm.

  5. Cont… • In 1920, Muhammad Abdul QadirBilgrami advocated the division of the subcontinent between the Hindus and Muslims. • After three years in 1923, before the Frontier Inquiry Committee, SardarGul Muhammad Khan of Dera Ismail Khan has proposed a partition of India by which the Muslims were to get the area from Peshawar to Agra. • LalaLajpatRai, the founder of Hindu Mahasabha in 1924 suggested the partition of India into Hindu and Muslim states.

  6. Cont… • The poet philosopher, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, while delivering his presidential address at Annual Session of the Muslim League at Allahabad in December, 1930 said, “I would like to see Punjab, NWFP, Sindh and Balochistan combined into a Single State”. • Dr Abdul Lateef came out with a comprehensive proposal of partition. He proposed population exchange on a much larger scale and suggested the division of the sub-continent into eleven Hindu state and four Muslim zones.
