Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam was established in Lahore in 1884 to promote education and welfare among Muslims.

The Simla Deputation, led by Aga Khan, met Viceroy Lord Minto in 1906 to demand separate electorates for Muslims. The original question and answer were correct.

In interviews and articles published in international outlets, notably the Manchester Guardian (in 1939–1940), Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah argued that Western-style parliamentary democracy was unsuitable for India because it operates on homogeneous populations, whereas India was home to two major distinct nations (Hindus and Muslims), meaning majoritarian democracy would result in permanent Hindu rule.

Chaudhry Rehmat Ali, who coined the name "Pakistan" in his 1933 pamphlet Now or Never, authored the book The Millat of Islam and the Menace of Indianism in 1940. In this work, he elaborated on the distinct socio-religious identity of Muslims in the subcontinent and advocated for separate Muslim sovereign entities (such as Pakistan, Bangistan, and Usmanistan).

Following the War of Independence of 1857, the British colonial government viewed the Muslims as the primary instigators of the uprising. Consequently, British officials and authors held them in deep suspicion and blamed them for disloyalty.
