Document Summary
Cases of successful secession were instance where secession happened when there were regime changes. It was unclear whether people wanted an autonomous region within india or a separate country. Religious idioms were commonly used; to some hindus, it seemed that their important regions were being considered afterthoughts. Gandhi was assassinated for being too soft on muslims, and too soft on pakistan. Within the congress party there were many hindus who discriminated against muslims. There were separate electorates introduced for muslims and some other groups in 1909. The state periodically gave support to certain causes of the muslim league. Later came to support the pakistan movement. These things didn"t necessarily lead to the pakistan movement. Other religious groups were recognized other than muslims. Religious politics didn"t have to assume the role of asking for a separate country. Separate electorates gave political recognition to membership in the muslim community.
