Establishment of British rule
The british east India company was struggling for gaining ground to establish
itself permanently on the subcontinent since 1600 A.D. The
other Europeancolonialist powers had lost their will to keep themselves in row
with the English because of their superiority on seas. Lord Clive established
English influence on sound footing and returned to england in 1787
When no rival European power was left on the scene , the English took advantage
of the unsettled conditions of India and consolidated themselves politically.They
clevely played one local ruler against the other and conquered India with the
might of india.They demonstrated a great diplomati skill and employed improved
arms with a better knowledge of warfare. The indian rulers at last fell a victim to
their own entanglement. They were either forced to accept the authority of East
India Company or to be completely wiped off.This process of expansion of the

Two Nation Theory
It is the theory that the hindus and muslims are two different nations because

greatest exponents of Two-NationTheory.
In the view of Allama Iqbal:
“India is a continent of human groups belonging to different races , speaking
different languages and professing different religions....Even the Hindus do
not form a homogeneous group. The principle of European democracy can not
b applied to india without recognizing the fact of communal groups The
muslims demand for the creation of a muslim india within India is, therefore,
perfectly justified”
According to Quaid-e-Azam
“We maintain and hold that Muslims and Hindus are two major nations by
anydefinition or test of a nation.We are a nation of a hundred million and what is
more we are a nation with our own distinct culture and civilization, language and
literature, art and architecture, names nad nomenclature, sense of values and
proportion”
