<P> Professor K.K. Aziz writes that "Rahmat Ali alone drafted this declaration . The word Pakstan was used for the first time in this pamphlet . To make it "representative", he looked for people who would sign it along with him . This difficult search among the firm grip of' Indianism' on the young intellectual at English universities took him more than a month to find three young men in London who offered to support and sign it ." Chaudhry also suggested the establishment of two other Muslim states within the British Raj; Bangalistan and Osmanistan . He suggested the former Muslim provinces of Eastern Bengal and Assam in East India become an independent Muslim state for Bengali, Assamese and Bihari speaking Muslims while suggesting the princely state of Hyderabad become an Islamic monarchy called Osmanistan . </P> <P> After the publication of the pamphlet, the Hindu press vehemently criticized it, and the word' Pakstan' used in it . Thus this word became a heated topic of debate . With the addition of an "i" to improve the pronunciation, the name of Pakistan grew in popularity and led to the commencement of the Pakistan Movement, and consequently the creation of Pakistan as an independent state in 1947 . </P> <P> The author of this famous pamphlet was Chaudhary Rahmat Ali (16 November 1897--3 February 1951), a Muslim nationalist from Punjab, who was one of the earliest proponents of the creation of the state of Pakistan . He is credited with creating the name "Pakistan" for a separate Muslim homeland from Presidencies and provinces of British India . He propagated the Scheme of Pakistan with a missionary zeal since its inception in 1933 . He also later founded the Pakistan National Movement to propagate his ideas . Being a political thinker and an idealist, wanted more than for accepting a smaller Pakistan in 1947 and save every Indian Muslim from the so - called "Hindu domination". </P> <P> After the creation of Pakistan he returned to Pakistan in April 1948, planning to stay in the country, but he was ordered by the then Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan to leave the country . His belongings were confiscated, and he left empty - handed for England in October 1948 . </P>
