The poet and political Philosopher Mohammad Iqbal is considered as the originator of the idea of the separate Muslim nation. Inspired by the spirit of Pan-Islam in All India Muslim League at Allahabad Session in 1930 Muhammad Iqbal said” I would like to see the Punjab, the North-West Frontier Province, Sindh and Balochistan amalgamated into a single state. Self-Government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim state appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North- West India.
