→=Concept of "Pakistan"
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."

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>
