Why, According To Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Was Pakistan Necessary?

In this address, Muhammad Ali Jinnah explains why the Muslims of the subcontinent needed a separate homeland. He argues that Muslims are a distinct nation, with their own civilization, culture, laws, traditions, and historical consciousness. Jinnah emphasizes that no constitutional arrangement could safeguard Muslim rights within a Hindu‑majority India because the Congress leadership refused to accept Muslims as a separate political entity.

He frames Pakistan not as a communal demand but as a democratic necessity, rooted in the principle that every nation has the right to self‑determination. Jinnah stresses that Muslims seek peaceful coexistence, not domination, and that Pakistan would allow them to live according to their own values, free from political subjugation.
