ROLE OF STUDENTS IN FREEDOM
MOVEMENT
• Despite facing various issues in initial years, such as lack of skilled individuals,
shortage of funds and absence of strong leadership, the students stood up for the
rights of Muslims of the Subcontinent. Muslim students of Punjab, Sindh,
Balochistan, North West Frontier Province (NWFP), Bengal, Assam, Bombay, Bihar,
Central Provinces (CP), Delhi, Madras, Orissa, United Province (UP) and Banglore
had their own Muslim Student Federations (MSF) who worked day in and day out
for the struggle of Pakistan Movement.
• The Freedom Movement gained momentum in the early 40’s and so did the
students’ activities. Muslim students worked socially, intellectually, journalistically
and politically to serve the national goal. Their enthusiasm reflects in the titles
they used before their names such as Khadim-e-Pakistan and Mujahid-e-Pakistan.
They also interacted with the common people of different villages and towns,
giving them political awareness. A Pakistan rural propaganda committee was set
up by the Punjab MSF to carry the League’s message to the villagers. Summer
schools were held in various colleges and universities to enlighten the students
regarding the political situation. Fund—raising was also an important activity
carried out by the students to financially help Muslim League in the upcoming
elections of 1945.
• The political role of Muslim students was a valuable contribution towards
the independence of Pakistan. As the time drew closer for the elections of
1945-46, the activities of the students grew faster. Hundreds of trained
volunteers were appointed for different duties in the election campaign,
as well as for the election day. This time, too, they had to face enormous
difficulties in the form of police and official interference. Furthermore,
they had a tough time in Hindu-majority areas too where they were
abused and stoned. But, nothing could distract them from achieving their
goal and ultimately their struggles, effort, sincerity and hard work
resulted in the creation of Pakistan.
• The students were supported, trusted and guided by the Quaid-i-Azam
throughout the Movement. He believed and proved that youth is a
Pakistan asset which, if handled properly, can be of great advantage to
the nation
TWO NATION THEORY
• The Muslims became conscious toward the development of Hindus in British election
in 1892.
• Sir Syed protested against it as he considered it severe subjugation of Muslims to a
Hindu majority
• This was the start of two-nation theory under the folds of separate electorate
• Sir Syed Ahmed Khan played a vital role by raising awareness of education within
Muslim community
• together with education and society the separate electorate completed the triangle of
two-nation-theory that may run as:
“ India is homeland to several communities out of which the Hindus and the Muslims
are two important communities. the Muslim community must be rated according to
their religious identity and historical importance and not by their numbers, hence, in no
case, it would be subjugated to the hindu majority”
• two-nation-theory was the corner stone of Indian Muslims for their self-rule and is
integral part of ideology. It denies any amalgamation of faith as the amalgamation was
tantamount to distinction of the Muslim community.
