pakistan movement

The Pakistan Movement or Tehrik-e-Pakistan (Urdu: ?????? ???????? — T??rik-e Pakistan) refers to the successful historical movement against British Raj and Indian Congress to have an independent Muslim state named Pakistan created from the dissolution of the British Indian Empire

muslims there were a minority, yet their elite had a disproportionate amount of representation in the civil service and a strong degree of cultural and literary influence.

This movement was led by lawyer Muhammad Ali Jinnah, along with other prominent founding fathers of Pakistan

The movement ultimately achieved success in 1947 with the Partition of India into largely Muslim-majority and non-Muslim majority regions.

The basis of the Pakistan Movement was the Two-nation theory initiated by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and the awakening of the Muslims after the War of Independence, 1857. The beginning of Pakistan Movement was from the formation of the Muslim League in 1906, followed by the vision of Sir Mohammad Iqbal of a homeland for the Muslims floated in 1930, on to the Pakistan Resolution of 1940, and the League gaining strength to strength to finally attaining a separate homeland for the Muslims of India.

He presented the two-nation theory in the now famous Lahore Resolution in March 1940, seeking a separate Muslim state

The idea of a separate state had first been introduced by Allama Iqbal in his speech in December 1930 as the President of the Muslim League.[11] The state that he visualised included only Punjab, Sindh, North West Frontier Province (NWFP), and Balochistan

    According to orthodox historians, Jinnah was central to the partition of India.* He transformed the Muslim League from an elitist, marginally supported party to one of the most influential bodies at the all-India level. He mobilised the Muslims masses and according to Gilmartin, helped them to transcend their provincial divides and focus on a wider cause.* Jinnah accused the Indian National Congress of having a Hindu bias and feared their totalitarianism. He developed the 'Two Nations' theory, which asserted that Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations and should have parity in central and provincial governments. This led to the passing of the Lahore Resolution in March 1940, which orthodox historians highlight as the beginning of his campaign for Pakistan. Jinnah formally asserted that the Muslims were a nation and 'independent states'* should be formed. In June 1940, he published his 'Tentative Proposals,' which repeated his demands for the division of Hindus and Muslims and advocated…

    Professor Stanley Wolpert, an American Indologist, writer and academic, who is considered one of the world's foremost authorities on the political and intellectual history of modern India and Pakistan and author of the epic biography Jinnah of Pakistan states: “Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammed Ali Jinnah did all three.” Wolpert has also penned the biographies of Gandhi and Nehru, but his eulogy for the Quaid surpasses any other leader of the freedom movement. It is a fact of history that the creation of Pakistan was an epoch-making event and a significant achievement of Quaid-i-Azam and his indomitable team of political workers, having the tenacity and steadfastness to face any challenge in their efforts to achieve their objective - i.e. the creation of a separate home land for the Muslim of the subcontinent.…
