The Lahore Resolution

The Lahore Resolution, adopted on March 23, 1940, was a pivotal document in the Indian independence movement. It called for greater autonomy for Muslim-majority regions in British India, advocating for their right to form independent states. This resolution laid the groundwork for the creation of Pakistan, as it emphasized that Muslims in India should have their own distinct nation. The Lahore Resolution marked a significant moment in India's political landscape, highlighting the desire for self-determination among Muslims, and is celebrated annually as Pakistan Day.
