Then, the Two Nations Theory on which, according to the late Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan was created * , was presented by him in a most compelling manner. He advised that the demand for separate elections should be presented before the Simon Commission and convincingly, advanced the separate elections notion before the All Muslim Parties Conference in Shimla. He wrote in his book, Musalmanon ke Huqooq aur Nehru Report [The Rights of Muslims and the Nehru Report] that: ‘There is before the Muslims a question of religion and nationhood. . . Two different and very powerful nations live here whose religions are separate and whose ways of living are different, so how can they agree to live amongst a permanent majority as a permanent minority unless the protection of their rights can be arranged?’ 82 * Qaid-e-Azam (late) said to a representative of Reuters on 23 October 1947, ‘As for the two-na - tion theory it is not a theory but a fact. The division of India is based on that fact. ’ J. D. S [See The Pakistan Times, 25 October 1947. p. 7. ]
