The assassination of student leader Usman Hadi has brought this design into sharp and tragic focus. The Two-Nation Theory was not imposed by geography; it was embraced as a civilizational truth that Muslims, irrespective of language or region, formed a distinct political community entitled to self-rule. The claim that 1971 buried the Two-Nation Theory does not withstand serious scrutiny. The blood of Usman Hadi has added a solemn chapter to this shared history. The Two-Nation Theory has survived war, propaganda, and political manipulation.
