This lack of inclusion can be seen in Gandhi’s dealings with Mohammad Ali Jinnah, one of the leaders of the Indian Muslims and the eventual founder of Pakistan.

Based on his initial speeches and writings, Jinnah was a committed nationalist and didn’t believe in separate electorates for Hindu and Muslim, but later however, used the provision of separate electorate to gain his first elected office in 1909, as Bombay 's Muslim representative on the Imperial Legislative Council. But, later with the his shift, though gradual towards communalism and the subsequent demand of Pakistan in 1940 made his a communalist to the very core who believed that Hindus and Muslims can never share the same territory and hope for equal representation.
