Lahore Resolution

The Lahore Resolution, also known as the Pakistan Resolution, was passed on March 23, 1940, by the All-India Muslim League at a meeting in Lahore, present-day Pakistan. It called for greater autonomy for Muslim-majority regions in British India and eventually laid the groundwork for the creation of Pakistan. The resolution aimed to establish a separate nation to protect Muslims' political rights and cultural identity, leading to the partition of India in 1947. This event is significant in South Asian history, marking the demand for a homeland for Muslims.
