To him, communalism in its highest sense was the key to the formation of a harmonious whole in India. Therefore, he demanded the establishment of a confederated India to include a Muslim state consisting of Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sindh, and Balochistan.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
