But several political developments led to the decision for the creation of Pakistan.
Choose the statement that correctly explains the 'two-nation theory'.
पर्याय
India consisted of two groups of people, Hindus and Muslims, hence two nations are required.

One nation for Congress and other for Muslim League was demanded.

उत्तर
Two separate nations should be formed to accommodate the leaders of Hindus and Muslims.
