AFAIK, though, the Muslim League's Lahore Resolution was vague as to whether Pakistan should be a state within India or its own country. It was only later that the Muslim League began explicitly demanding their own country.Sid Guttridge wrote: ↑17 Jun 2019, 11:31Hi Futurist,
The Muslim League adopted the Lahore Resolution calling for a separate Muslim State on 23 March 1940 - before the fall of France.
So the writing was already on the wall.
Cheers,

Also, AFAIK, the Muslim League might not have had a charismatic leader to take Jinnah's place after his death in 1948. With WWII ending earlier, might Britain be less exhausted and less bankrupt and thus be more delayed in its withdrawal from India?
