| Muslim majority provinces of Sindh and North-West Frontier Province had already been created. Govt. of India Act of 1935 gave the provinces the right of self-government. The Muslim League session was held in Lahore in 1940, wherein the Pakistan theory was proposed, which suggested Muslims could not live under the rule of the majority Hindus and they needed a separate homeland and they proposed the division of India into three parts: India, East Pakistan and West Pakistan. Indian national leaders exercised their vehement disapproval of the idea, and Dr. Rajendra
Prasad, first president of free India, called it an impossibility. The communist leaders in India supported the idea of a separate homeland for Muslims.
