The success of the Muslims of South Asia to establish a separate Muslim State has been discussed widely in
the academic and intellectual circles. One major theme has been that Muslims as a ruling elite were not
ready to subordinate the Hindu majority fundamentally different from them religiously and culturally.
However, what was the response of the Muslims of Muslim Majority areas? is an important question. The
idea of Pakistan could not be materialized without the support of the Muslim Majority areas. In the Muslim
majority areas, the regional and local issues played an important part in the formation of Muslim political
opinion. In this context, like other parts of the subcontinent, the Muslims of Dera Ghazi Khan district as a
remote and backward Muslim majority region played a vital role in the political process of the formation of
Pakistan. The tribal leadership and Tumandar established permanent relations with Muslim leadership and
contributed potentially in the formation of political opinion as well as pressurizing colonial administration to
accept what All India Muslim League was demanding. For they established good contacts with Muhammad
Ali Jinnah and launched a powerful campaign for the elections of 1945-6. The paper aims at exploring and
highlighting this role.
