How to display multiple forms through a view in Django

Question

I'm new to Django, creating a website which has multiple forms(mostly check boxes) that need to be filled to submit a task. Models.py

class M1(models.Model):
  T1=model.NullBooleanField()
  T2= model.NullBooleanField()
class M2(models.Model):
  N1=model.NullBooleanField()
  N2= model.NullBooleanField()

Forms.py`

class M1Form((forms.ModelForm): 
  class Meta: 
     model = M1 
     fields = ['T1','T2']
     widgets=.........
 class M2Form((forms.ModelForm): 
   class Meta: 
     model = M2 
     fields = ['N1','N2']
     widgets=.........

views.py

   def home_page(request):
       tmpl_vars = { 
       'form': M1Form        
    }    
    return render(request, 'my_app/test.html',tmpl_vars)

My question is I'm not clear on how to load the forms of M2Form through the views.py. Right now m trying to access it on the webpage and currently only the M1Form variables are visible.

I'm not sure why you think this is complicated. You're passing M1Form to the template vars, why can't you also pass M2Form? — Daniel Roseman

If you need detailed explanation, comment of Daniel Reseman means to write in views.py

def home_page(request):
   tmpl_vars = { 
       'form': M1Form,
       'form2': M2Form,
   }    
   return render(request, 'my_app/test.html',tmpl_vars)

Then in template you can use it as {{form2}}
