PART I
MUSLIM CASE FOR PAKISTAN
The Muslim Case for Pakistan is sought to be justified on the following grounds : —
(i) What the Muslims are asking for is the creation of administrative areas which are ethnically more homogeneous.
(ii) The Muslims want these homogeneous administrative areas which are predominantly Muslim to be constituted into separate States,
(a) because the Muslims by themselves constitute a separate nation and desire to have a national home, and
(b) because experience shows that the Hindus want to use their majority to treat the Muslims as though they were second-class citizens in an alien State.
This part is devoted to the exposition of these grounds.
