Abstract

In the twilight of Britain’s South Asian empire, Muhammad Allama Iqbal advocated the creation of a Moslem homeland encompassing territories east and west of the newly emerging India, to unite by religion ethnically different peoples. Tensions grew over sharing of economic benefits of the two wings of this Pakistan, threatening to sunder the country. The challenge was to analyze that issue and identify the mechanisms by which resources were shared, as an input into a dialogue about holding the country together. Published sources did not have information on interviewing transfers. Interviews were undertaken to seek both data and leads for subsequent conversations.
