    The party restored its constitution and began the progression of its organization from the scratch. Before it could combine itself, it took part in the 1937 provincial elections. Despite lack of time and fragile organizational structure, it won 104 out of 489 Muslim seats, and 70 per cent of the seats that it questioned. The Congress pride especially after it presumed power in the Provinces and its wish to grip independent entities by starting a Muslim Mass Contact Movement united the Muslims around the Muslim League. Its attempts to remove Muslim cultural identity in the Congress-governed provinces isolated the Muslims all through the Subcontinent. Such policies supported the rising Muslim awareness of separate nationhood and improved the ranks of the AIML. After lengthy negotiations, the Muslim League accepted the Lahore (better known as” Pakistan “) Resolution at its yearly session in 1940, demanding a separate homeland for the Muslims in the Muslim widely held…

    Muslim League

    The All-India Muslim League,(Urdu: آل انڈیا مسلم لیگ), was founded by the All India Muhammadan Educational Conference at Dhaka (now Bangladesh), in 1906, in the context of the circumstances that were generated over the partition of Bengal in 1905. Being a political party to secure the interests of the Muslim diaspora in British India, the Muslim League played a decisive role during the 1940s in the Indian independence movement and developed into the driving force behind the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim state in the Indian subcontinent.[1] After the independence of India and Pakistan, the League continued as a minor party in India, especially in Kerala, where it is often in government within a coalition with others. In Pakistan, the League formed the country 's first government, but disintegrated during the 1950s following an army coup. One or more factions of the Muslim League have been in power in most of the civilian governments of Pakistan since 1947. In Bangladesh, the party was revived in 1976 and won 14 seats in 1979 parliamentary election. Since then its importance has reduced, rendering it insignificant in the political arena.…

    The idea of Pakistan

    The idea of Pakistan was conceived in the early 1930’s; Mohammed Ali Jinnah founded the Muslim League, in hopes to form a new state for Indian Muslims, as they were being persecuted by the majority Hindu’s. Pakistan was founded on 14th August 1947 comprising of East & West Pakistan. Pakistan’s strongest institution was the army, and they kept stepping into politics, hence the nation experienced several military coups. In the 1970 election Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won majority in the East being a more populous region allowing him to form a government, but in the West, Zufiqar Ali Bhutto of the PPP won. When this incident occurred, East Pakistan declared themselves independent. This caused other nations to interfere causing a war between Pakistan and India on December 3rd 1971; on December 16th Bangladesh became a separate nation. A new Pakistani constitution was adopted in 1973 which divided the power between prime minister and cabinet elected by the National Assembly. In 1977 Bhutto won the election again, but protests erupted and General Zia ul-Haq declared martial law. Bhutto was tried and hanged for conspiring to murder an opponent. In 1988 civilian rule was restored but the nation was very unstable. Two governments after this were headed by Benzair Bhutto, and then by Nawaz Sharif. In 1999 however Army Chief of Staff Pervaiz Musharaf seized power, and convicted Nawaz Sharif of terrorism. In 2007 Musharaf had to step down due to protests by people who felt he was trying to force out the chief justice. This allowed both Nawaz Sharif, and Benzair Bhutto to return from exile and rally for elections, but on December 27th 2007 a bomber assassinated her, leaving her husband to form the government.…
