Very few Muslim families had their children sent to English universities. On the other hand, the effects of the [[Bengali Renaissance]] made the [[Hindu]] population more educated and enabled them to gain lucrative positions at the [[Indian Civil Service (British India)|Indian Civil Service]]; many ascended to the influential posts in the British government.{{Citation needed|date=August 2015}} In 1930, [[Muhammad Iqbal]] delivered his famous speech in the [[Allahabad]] annual session which is commonly regarded as sowing the seeds for the creation of a separate state, later known as Pakistan.<ref name="Dec 1930">{{cite book |last=Sirriyeh |first=Elizabeth |date=21 October 1998 |title=Sufis and Anti-Sufis: The Defense, Rethinking and Rejection of Sufism in the modern world |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7Bp0K-HpBPsC&q=I+would+like+to+see+the+Punjab,+North-West+Frontier+Province,+Sind+and+Baluchistan+amalgamated+into+a+single+state&pg=PA136 |location=University of Leeds, United Kingdom |publisher=Routledge |page=136 |isbn=9780700710607 |access-date=10 October 2021 |archive-date=7 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220407093226/https://books.google.com/books?id=7Bp0K-HpBPsC&q=I+would+like+to+see+the+Punjab,+North-West+Frontier+Province,+Sind+and+Baluchistan+amalgamated+into+a+single+state&pg=PA136 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Class conflict was coloured in a religious shade, as the Muslims were generally agriculturists and soldiers, while Hindus were increasingly seen as successful financiers and businessmen. Therefore, according to the historian Spear, "an industrialised India meant a Hindu India" to the Muslims. Syed Ahmed Khan converted the existing cultural and religious entity among Indian Muslims into a separatist political force, throwing a Western cloak of nationalism over the Islamic concept of culture. The distinct sense of value, culture and tradition among Indian Muslims originated from the nature of Islamization of the Indian populace during the [[Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vu2lu-ZI-vQC&dq=To+the+Muslims+an+industrialised+India+meant+a+Hindu+India,+because+the+Hindu+was+a+financier+and+a+business-man,+the+Muslim+in+general+an+agriculturist+and+soldier&pg=PA26 |title= Historiography of India's Partition: An Analysis of Imperialist Writings |page= 26 |author= Viśva Mohana Pāṇḍeya |date= 2003 |publisher= Atlantic Publishers & Distributors |isbn= 9788126903146 }}</ref>
