The intent was to bring about peace. The original reasoning was pure but it got skewed along the way. It is sad that Gandhi was so peaceful yet died the way he did. And his legacy was mangled by a bunch of self serving violent one minded war lovers.

You are right a little that Gandhi & Nehru forced Jinnah to form Pakistan... as Jinnah was part of Congress to fight against British Rule but when he know that Ghandi & Nehru wants to rule the Hindustan after British Exit only by Hindus and muslims will have to live as slaves then he raised the voice for separate country which was dream of Allam Iqbal.
Because both nations have different culture and different religion. Like Hindus don't like to cut the cow but muslims eat the meat of cow etc etc...
This was the best solution to devide Hindustan into two parts... where Hindus are majority that is hindustan and where muslims are in majority that should be Pakistan.
This was two nation theory to form these two countries.

It is a fallacy that Nehru and Gandhi forced Jinnah to form Pakistan. In a democracy, people elect their representatives. It would have been a case of appeasement had Jinnah been allowed to become the Prime Minister. Yes, Nehru was guilty of agreeing to the division of Bharat. But to say that he and Gandhi should have given in to the whims of Jinnah is being unfair to the spirit of democracy. It would rather have led to direr consequences than what we face today.

My Dear,
Nehru never ever forced Ali Jinah to form a Pakistan. Pakistan was the dream of Allama Iqbal that came true with the lot of sacrifices of Muslim under the leadership of Quiad-E- Azam Muhammad Ali jinnah. Got it!

It was primarily the British who used the Muslim community and its leaders in their effort to wean them away from the freedom struggle then in progress. It was they who incited this community to make extravagant demands and to appear in a state of high insecurity as regards their future in a predominantly 'Hindu ' India. Mohd. ali Jinnah was a mere pawn in the entire scheme of things. The main culprits were those in Whitehall. Nehru certainly was a power-hungry politician, but he was not the initiator of this evil scheme, he was merely its supporter.

Nehru wanted to become first Prime minister of India And Jinaha too. So it is very much a bitter truth that their greed and hunger made India and Pakistan

Think this came about because the majority of Indians were and are Hindus. As such they wanted democracy big-time, but the Mulsim minority did not see their future as one with a democracy as understood by the West.
Result, India is a free and independant Republic with a mad free speech democracy. Meanwhile Pakistan struggles and has yet to form what we here in the West would begin to think of as democracy.
Hope is on the horizon as events unfold inside Pakistan today.

Your question is wrong. It was Mohd. Ali Jinnah who wanted Pakistan.

Ambition! Jinnah thought Pt. J.L. Nehru was the strongest political rival. Nehru's thoughts were also of the same coin. So, it solved their purpose well by 'Divide and let's both rule'.
