1940 Lahore Resolution

The Lahore Resolution, adopted by the All-India Muslim League on March 23, 1940, was a pivotal moment in South Asian history. It demanded greater autonomy for Muslim-majority regions in British India, ultimately calling for the creation of independent states for Muslims in the northwest and eastern parts of the country. The resolution marked a significant step towards the establishment of Pakistan, reflecting the aspirations of Muslims who sought political recognition and representation. This event is commemorated annually in Pakistan as Pakistan Day, symbolizing the establishment of a separate identity and nation for Muslims in the region.
