Choudhry Rahmat Ali

Choudhry Rahmat Ali was a Pakistani political activist and scholar who is best known for coining the name "Pakistan" in 1933. He envisioned a separate homeland for Muslims in the Indian subcontinent, which led to the eventual creation of Pakistan in 1947. Ali’s ideas emphasized Muslim identity and nationhood, and he actively campaigned for this cause. Though he faced political challenges and limited recognition during his life, his advocacy played a significant role in the movement for Pakistan’s independence.
