The Two Nation Theory: A Comparative Study Between Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Muhammad Ali Jinnah

The study focuses on the comparative analysis between the Two Nation Theory of Savarkar and Jinnah. Savarkar was notable for his Hindutva doctrine. Hindutva deals with a paternal hereditary of Hindus in the Sindhu Saraswati civilization from ancient times to modern days. Savarkar’s Two Nation theory denotes Hindus’ demand for political freedom and political rights to the establishment of Hindu Rashtra. The demand for separate nationhood by Jinnah was to achieve Political freedom for Muslims. Both argued Hindus and Muslims have two distinct racial identities. Hence, it is better to establish separate nations on the basis of Race to express the rights, and privileges independently. Both desired to liberate their motherland from racial conflict, linguistic conflict, and another socio-political conflict between Hindus and Muslims.
