In the session of Muslim League at Allahabad Allama Iqbal proposed that
the Muslims should have their own state. It was the desire of the Muslims of India. That they should be acknowledged as a separate identity. Allahabad address clearly reveals this fact. Therefore, they demanded a separate homeland. 1. Concept of Separate States Allama Iqbal said in his Allahabad Address: "I would like to see the Punjab, North West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single state. Self government within the British empire without the British empire, the formation of a consolidated North West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims at least of North West India."
