Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League, 1947-48
After the attainment of India independence, Gandhi (and the rest of India) turned his attention to the issue of how Muslims and Hindus were to coexist together. Because he represented only one side of this dilemma, he had to involve representatives of the Muslim population in his dealings, which he did through a group known as the Muslim League, and Particularly their leader: Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Despite their healthy personal relationship, Gandhi and Jinnah disagreed fundamentally about the course of action that should be taken for India, with Gandhi arguing for unity and Jinnah arguing for separation. Eventually Jinnah would succeed in attaining his goals with the creation of East and West Pakistan.
