Everything about Pakistan Movement totally explained
Pakistan Movement or
Tehrik-e-Pakistan (
Urdu:
تحریک پاکستان) was the struggle carried out by the
Muslims of
British India to create a separate
homeland in fear of losing their liberty to a Hindu majority state. This struggle was led by the
Muslim League and resulted in the
partition of the
British Empire in India. The movement was led by
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, along with such leaders as
Allama Iqbal,
Liaqat Ali Khan,
Fatima Jinnah,
Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy,
A.K. Fazlul Huq, and
Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar among the many others.
History of the movement
The idea of a separate state was first introduced by
Allama Iqbal in
1930. Subsequently, the name
Pakistan was proposed by
Choudhary Rahmat Ali in his
Pakistan Declaration in 1933.. However,
Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders maintained their belief in religious unity. It was only after, the volatile political climate and emerging religious hostilities between Hindus and Muslims that gave the idea a stronger backing.
In
1940, at the occasion of its general session in
Lahore, Muslim League passed the
Lahore Resolution (also known as
Pakistan Resolution) that became the main objective of struggle for independence. Soon after
World War II, the
United Kingdom became convinced that keeping their colonies in
South Asia was no longer a feasible option, as the
empire itself was economically shattered by the war. By 1947, British India was divided into a
Muslim majority
Pakistan and a
Hindu majority
India.
