Muslim league got high vote bank in muslims majority regions.
search & read abt muslim league, muslim league managed few seats even in muslim majority areas in 1937 elections.
That's not true. I suggest you read Nehru Report again, & the response of the 14 points of Jinnah (which was refused by Congress). The difference between the two (Nehru Report & the 14 points) highlighted the political gap of Hindus & Muslims in India, & triggered Jinnah to revitalize the Muslim League, & abandon the Congress.
as i said earlier it was just assumptions by muslims, muslim league too rejected nehru report based on assumptions. nehru was trying to separate religion from state & Jinnah was trying reverse.

exactly, the bold part is corrct to my knowledgeWrong. It had nothing to do with religion. Jinnah was a secular man. The main summary of Jinnah's 14 points was that ‘any future constitution should be federal with the power resting with the provinces.’ Jinnah wanted a weak center and strong provincial rights. Nehru wanted the opposite. The Hindu Mahasbha’s leader called Jinnah's 14 points anti-national. The Muslims were quite a small number in comparison to the Hindus, & Jinnah feared for the political future of Indian Muslims. This was the main fundamental difference between Jinnah & Congress, but there were many other differences as well.
The people who were poor, who couldn't even make it to East Pakistan (forget West Pakistan), or were influenced by Dar Uloom Deoband, or had some other circumstance (business, marriage) stayed back. The people that had resources to make the journey made the journey. Most Muslims in India were unfortunately pretty uneducated & backward for the most part, but when the elites/'cream of the communities' left UP, Bihar; it really left these states reeling, & the effects are still felt in UP, Bihar & Jharkhand today. My father was born in Ranchi, Jharkhand; my mother was born & raised in Patna, Bihar; & I had extended family in Amroha & Lucknow, UP; so I know exactly what happened in these 3 states. Most people from Bihar went to East Pakistan in 1947 & later, others from UP took the train to Mumbai, & came by ship. One needed to have ample resources to make the migration from such distances, it wasn't like Punjab where you had to travel 30-50 miles. Pakistan wasn't originally formed in the name of religion.

jinnah wanted a weak center and strong provincial rights so that muslims could strongly control Muslim majority areas which is against secularism. jinnah was not secular at all.
he always wanted special status for muslims & these kind of things do not work in secular environment.
plus jinnah never talked abt strong rights for provinces after Pakistan was made & pakistan also never gave strong rights to any province, infact pakistan has history of abolishing provinces. this shows that jinnah demands in respect to nehru report were just excuses.
That is what you are told and that is what you will believe. A total of 10 million people tried to move from both sides to their respective other side. It is estimated that about of the 10 million people 1 million people were killed, 75,000 women abducted, raped or killed. and many children went missing. Also it is known that 30 Million Muslims did not make the journey from today's India to Pakistan.
If we consider that about 4.5 Million people landed in Pakistan from current India, we are looking at a ratio of 4.5/30 to the people who travelled to the ones who stayed back.
And that is the ratio of 1 : 6.667 in favour of those who stayed back.
