First mentioned of Muslim representation in Congress came around 1890,Most of the senior leaders in congress were Hindus and there was a strong lobby of Hindu leaders.

Jinnah was highly qualified and he was himself a Atheist,as he use to smoke and drink alcohol which is against Islam,So people saying that Jinnah was a hardline follower of Islam is baseless.

Roles played by Jinnah are as follows -

➡️ Jinnah raised the issue of muslim interest but was suppressed by strong hindu lobby.

➡️ Gandhiji suggested that there should be diffrent party(Muslim League) for representation of Muslims but JINNAH said that religion cannot be the basis of forming a party and religion and politics should not be mixed.

➡️ Muslim league came into existance in 1906 to represent Indian Muslim . JINNAH still suggested that Muslim league will work with Congress and there should be two cabinet in the Government and two Constitution,One for Hindus and another for Muslims based on Shariah law but Nehru rejected the proposal as congress was in strong position.

➡️ Jinnah was never in the favour of two nation theory and religion based politics,he was forced by the circumstances.

Answer 2

Mohammed Ali Jinnah was an Indian politician who believed there could be Muslim Hindu unity but later was convinced that the partition was neccesary. The partition was the creation of two independent states, India and pakistan. The partition was made by Britain who shortly after withdrew from India. The partition was made to prevent religious conflict between Muslims and Hindus, with Muslims in Pakistan and Hindus in India. Mohammed Ali Jinnah is known as one of the people campaigning for the partition. He believed the partition was a necessary safeguard to the rights of muslims. He took part in negotiations with Britain for the partition to happen and later became the first Governor general of Pakistan and later died.

The India independence act was an act of Parliament that ended British rule in India and partitioned India into two independent countries. The partition was a result of the India Independence act and was approved and put into action into 1947.
