Divisions and Dynamics of Indian Politics

This chapter explores the political tensions between Jinnah and Gandhi during the 1920s, as Gandhi's Hindu-centric approach alienates Jinnah, who advocates for Muslim rights. It examines the growing divide in Indian politics marked by Jinnah's strategic positioning of the Muslim League amidst a backdrop of shifting allegiances and rising communal violence. The narrative highlights the emergence of Hindu nationalism and its impact on the call for a separate Muslim identity, all within the context of India's struggle for independence.
