Two nation theory. 
•The Two Nation Theory in its 
simplest way means the 
cultural,political,religious,econo 
mic and social dissimilarities 
between the two major 
communities. Hindus and 
Muslims of the Sub Continent.
Differences between these two 
nations.
Religious Differences. 
Muslims: 
The religion of Muslims was 
Islam .Islam preaches Tawheed (oneness 
of Allah) , namaz , roza(keeping fast) , 
zakat, hajj, and believes in equality of 
man before law. Muslims are the 
believers of God, The Holy Prophet 
(P.B.U.H) the Holy Book Quran and hold 
a cohesive approach towards life.
Religious Differences. 
• Hindus: 
Hindus believe in Hinduism. 
Hinduism is based on the concept of 
multiple Gods. Their society follows a 
caste system and is divided into four 
classes and have a very narrow 
approach towards life.
Cultural Differences 
• Muslim followed the Islamic culture 
while Hindus inherited a self build 
culture. The Hindus burnt their dead 
bodies while Muslims burred them. 
Hindus considered the 'Mother cow' as 
a sacred animal and worshiped it while 
Muslims slaughtered it.
Social Differences 
• The two communities of the Sub 
Continent differ in their social life as 
well. The clothes, the foods, the 
household utensils, the layout of 
homes, the words of salutation etc…
Economics Differences 
• After 1857,the Muslim economic was 
crushed and all trade policies were 
framed in such a way so as to determent 
the Muslim condition .They were 
thrown out of Government services and 
the their estates and properties were 
confiscated.
Educational Differences 
• The Hindus had advanced in the educational 
field because they quickly and readily took 
the English education. While Muslims did not 
receive modern education which heavily 
affected their economic conditions.
Political Differences 
• The political differences between the Hindus 
and Muslims have played an important role 
in the developement and evolution of Two 
Nation Theory. 
• They have different ideologies that’s why 
they have different political purposes.
The things which forced the 
Muslims to have a separate state.
Hindi Urdu Controversy 
• In 1867,Hindus demand that Urdu should be 
written in Hindi Script instead of Persian 
script. This created another gap between 
Hindus and Muslims.
Congress Attitude 
• The Indian national Congress was founded in 
1885.It claimed to represent all communities 
of India but oppressed all Muslim ideas and 
supported the Hindus.
Two nation theory and some 
Muslim personalities.(leaders)
Sir syed Ahmad khan. 
• Sir syed Ahmed Khan-The Pioneer of Two 
Nation Theory. 
• Sir syed Ahmad khan was the 1st person who 
use the term “Two nation theory” due to 
hindi urdu controversy banaras in 1867.
Allama Muhammad Iqbal . 
• Allama Iqbal was the first important figure 
who propounded the idea of separate 
homeland on the basis of two nation theory. 
• After sir syed ahmad khan Allama Iqbal 
worked on “two nation theory” he explain it 
in front of muslims .
In his famous Allahabad address he said: 
the formation of consolidated 
north west Indian Muslim state appears to me the 
final destiny of the Muslims ,at least of north west 
India .the life of Islam as cultural force in this living 
country very largely depends on its centralization in 
a specified territory. I, therefore demand the 
formation of consolidated Muslim state in the best 
interests of India and Islam.
Quaid e azam 
• Quaid e azam considered the Islamic system fully 
applicable .he wanted to establish the system of 
the country on the basis of Quran . In the session 
of all India Muslim league at Karachi in 1943 , he 
said: what relation ship knits the Muslims into one 
whole , which is the formidable rock on which 
muslim edifice has been erected, which is the 
sheet anchor providing basis to muslim millat , the 
relationship, the sheet is anchor and the rock is 
holy Quran.
The leaders and their thinking.

These four Muslim leaders have 
same school of thought. 
They have a demand that time to 
have a separate state for the 
Muslims.
In fact two nation theory was T.N.T 
for Hindus , and for the Muslims this 
was the ideology which can change 
the life of Muslims.
The main thing was that Muslims 
and Hindus were different in every 
perspective of life.
What would happen??
What would happen????
At last Muslims got their separate 
state. 
We should clap for the Muslims 
for having a great succeed.
