C) To establish a Muslim country separate from Hindu-majority India

Pakistan was created as a result of the demand for a separate nation for Muslims in the Indian subcontinent, primarily due to concerns over political and cultural representation in a predominantly Hindu India. The partition of India into two independent countries, India and Pakistan, took place on August 14 and 15, 1947, respectively.
