      The demand for the partition of India by the All India Muslim League emerged against the backdrop of growing communal tensions and concerns about safeguarding the political and religious rights of Muslims in a predominantly Hindu-majority country. The idea gained prominence during the 1940s and eventually led to the creation of two independent nations, India and Pakistan, in 1947.

      The demand for partition was formally articulated through the Lahore Resolution, also known as the Pakistan Resolution, on March 23, 1940. The resolution was passed during the Muslim League's annual session held in Lahore. Led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Muslim League advocated for the creation of a separate nation for Muslims to ensure their political, economic, and cultural rights.

      The reasons behind the demand for partition were multifaceted. The Muslim League argued that Muslims constituted a distinct religious and cultural community with their own historical heritage, social practices, and political aspirations. They expressed concerns that under a unified, independent India, Muslims might become a minority and face political marginalization.

      The Lahore Resolution emphasized the establishment of an independent state for Muslims in regions where they were a majority. The proposed state, which would later become Pakistan, aimed to provide Muslims with the autonomy to shape their political destiny and protect their interests.

      The demand for partition intensified as communal tensions escalated, particularly in the wake of the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946, which proposed a decentralized federal structure for a united India. Faced with the inability to reach a consensus between the Congress and the Muslim League, the British decided to transfer power and subsequently enacted the Indian Independence Act of 1947, leading to the partition of India.

      On August 14, 1947, Pakistan was established as an independent nation for Muslims, and on August 15, 1947, India gained independence. The demand for partition by the Muslim League marked a significant chapter in the history of the Indian subcontinent, shaping the geopolitical landscape and defining the contours of two separate nations.
