EVOLUTION OF TWO NATION THEORY IN INDIA:
In the subcontinent, Two Nation Theory is as old as the history of the Muslims. Two nations theory had been formed in India when Raja Samri of Katanga Noor accepted Islam because Hindus and Muslims of India belonged to the same race. They were living in geographically connected areas. They were the citizens of one country. There was no huge difference between their customs. In spite of all these common things, religious fervour had provided them such a strong base for nationalism which altogether made the Muslims and everything different from Hindus. It is clear from the words of the Quaid-e-Azam:
“Pakistan was created on the very first day when the first Hindu accepted Islam in India”

This two-nation theory was originated with the arrival of the Muslims in the sub continent. He said:
“India is neither a country nor its inhabitants are a nation. This is a sub-continent where many nations live; among these the Hindu and the Muslim are two important nations”.
