Who wrote “Now or Never”?

The correct answer is C: Chaudhry Rehmat Ali. Chaudhry Rehmat Ali was a Pakistani Muslim nationalist who is credited with coining the name "Pakistan." He was also the author of the highly influential pamphlet titled "Now or Never; Are We to Live or Perish Forever?" which was published in 1933. In this pivotal document, he passionately advocated for the creation of a separate Muslim state in northwestern India. He articulated the two-nation theory and famously proposed the name "Pakistan" as an acronym for the Muslim-majority regions: Punjab, Afghan (North-West Frontier Province), Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan. This pamphlet played a crucial role in shaping the political discourse that ultimately led to the partition of British India.

• A: Muhammad Ali Jinnah is incorrect. While Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the founder of Pakistan and its first Governor-General, he did not write "Now or Never." He adopted the concept of Pakistan later and led the movement.
• B: Allama Iqbal is incorrect. Allama Iqbal was a renowned poet, philosopher, and political theorist who envisioned a separate state for Muslims in northwestern India, most notably in his Allahabad Address in 1930. However, he was not the author of this specific pamphlet.
• D: Liaquat Ali Khan is incorrect. Liaquat Ali Khan was Pakistan's first Prime Minister and a close associate of Jinnah, playing a vital role in the country's early years, but he was not the author of "Now or Never."
