The British succeeded in turning away many Muslims from the Indian Independence Cause. In 1939, Nawab Ismail Khan, a Muslim League member from UP, wrote to the British that "a democratic system at the centre is not acceptable to the Muslim community. Another Muslim League member also sent a telegram to the Viceroy saying,"The Muslims have no differences with Great Britain....They wanted Britain to stay and they are now growing popular with the Muslim community."

===Concept of "Pakistan"==
==Pakistan Movement==
By the 1930's, the concept of "Pakistan", which was coined by Islamic Supremacist Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, started to gain ground among the [[Muslim League]]. In 1939, Viceroy of India, Lord Linlithgow, worked with the Muslim League to counter the Indian National Congress' demand for full Indian Independence from British rule and to come up with an alternative. Linlithgow told Jinnah in September 1939 that if the Muslim League regarded it as unsuitable for India to become a dominion within the Commonwealth, 'then the escape from the impasse is Partition'. <ref>http://markcurtis.info/2016/11/08/partition-keep-a-bit-of-india/</ref>
===Plotting the Creation of Pakistan===
After WW2, the British were not able to hold on to India any longer. The British wanted to maintain their imperialist influence over Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar, so they decided to create Pakistan for the purpose of retaining a foothold in the NWFP and Balochistan. However Britain encountered issues doing this as the NWFP had elected a government from the Indian national Congress and not from the Muslim League. Therefore, Louis Mountbatten, with the help of his wife Edwina, talked Jawaharlal Nehru into agreeing to a referendum in the NWFP. Although it is claimed that 99% of the votes were in favor of Pakistan, there was widespread fraud and rigging done during the referendum. Ghaffar Khan said that bogus votes were polled in favor of Pakistan. <ref>https://www.rediff.com/news/interview/britain-created-pakistan/20171102.htm</ref>
