In 1940 Lahore Resolution, how many states were demanded?

The Lahore Resolution, passed on March 23, 1940, by the All-India Muslim League, was a landmark statement that called for the creation of independent states for Muslims in British India.

• 2 is the correct answer. The Lahore Resolution, while often interpreted as a demand for a single Muslim state, actually called for the creation of 'independent states' in the North-Western and Eastern zones of British India where Muslims were in a majority. This implied two distinct Muslim-majority regions that would form separate entities.
• The resolution did not explicitly demand 1, 3, or 4 states, but rather 'states' in the plural, referring to the two main Muslim-majority areas.
