Independence of Pakistan
Pakistan gained independence on August 14, 1947, when it was partitioned from British India. This separation was based on religious lines, creating a separate nation for Muslims, led by leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The goal was to provide Muslims with their own country where they could practice their culture and religion freely. The process involved significant political negotiations, migration, and conflict, marking a pivotal moment in South Asian history. Independence allowed Pakistan to establish its own government, laws, and national identity, shaping its future as a sovereign state.
