I can't answer your question, but I have a comment. What was Great Britain doing to the colonies that made us want our freedom? No country wants to be ruled by a government too far away to even care about, much less address, their needs. King George III could have cared less about the high price of tea and the taxes that we were paying on it. He just wanted the money. And so we revolted. We fought the British and won our independence--and then had to do it again in the war of 1812. Why? Because our freedom was THAT important to us. Many men and women and fought for and died for this great country of ours, and they will continue to do so in the name of liberty. I can only imagine that the reasons were pretty much the same with India. It was/is a big country being ruled by a little nation. Indeed, why?
Why did Muslims demand aseperate state of Pakistanduring the Indian independencemovement?
Would you believe that they didn't? Jinnah actually only wanted greater autonomy for the Muslim majority provinces in Pakistan... he did not want to partition India into two separate countries because he feared that would only weaken the Muslim nation as they would be unable to benefit from the economic and political strength of a united India. What ended up happening was that the British and the Hindu Indians realized that if they met Jinnah's demands, then they would no longer be able to run India as they pleased, since the Muslims would in essence be governing themselves. So the best solution in their eyes was to cut up the country, get rid of the economically and politcally weaker parts (the Muslim majority parts) and focus on maintaining the strength of a Hindu India. India inherited all the British political, military and economic infrastructure and Pakistan had to start from scratch. This is a prime reason for the disparity in economic growth and political maturity between India and Pakistan today. Jinnah was wise enough to see this and not ask for a separate nation (except in terms of autonomy).
