Pakistan Movement

The Pakistan Movement was a political campaign in the early 20th century aimed at creating a separate nation for Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. It emerged from concerns about political representation and cultural identity for Muslims, who were in the minority under British colonial rule. Key figures like Muhammad Ali Jinnah advocated for this cause, leading to the demand for Pakistan. The movement gained momentum, especially during the 1940s, culminating in the creation of Pakistan as an independent state in 1947, following the end of British rule in India.
