Concentrating on the All-India Muslim League, this book assesses the role of religious communalism in shaping the movement for Pakistan.

In 1940 the All-India Muslim League orchestrated the demand for independent Muslim states in India. Seven years later Pakistan was created amidst a communal holocaust of unprecedented proportions.
