Lahore Conference

The Lahore Conference, held in March 1940, was a significant gathering of the All-India Muslim League in Lahore, British India. This event is best known for the formal demand for the establishment of Pakistan, which called for separate nations for Muslims in the northwestern and eastern regions of India. The conference, led by prominent leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, aimed to address concerns about Muslim political rights and self-determination. The Lahore Resolution, passed during the conference, became a pivotal moment in the movement for Pakistan's independence, ultimately leading to the country's creation in 1947.
