ï In 1930, Iqbal clearly discussed Two Nation
Theory as:
â Islam: as code of conduct and way of life.
â Muslims are separate nation.
â Demand of separate state.
11. Islam: as Code of Conduct
and Way of Life
âIslam is complete code of life; so Indian
Muslims should get assistance from Islam.
It will support them fully. We could not
separate religion and politics.â
12. Muslims are Separate Nation
Allama Iqbal openly negated the concept of
one nation and said:
âNations are based with religion; not with
territories. So we are separate nation
because we have our own ideology.â
13. Demand of Separate State
âIf British Government is interested to
resolve Hindu-Muslim conflicts then India
should be divided into states.
NWFP, Sindh, Baluchistan, Punjab, Aasam
and Bengal should be converted into one
unit and authority should be given to
Indian Muslims.â
