History of Pakistan

The Lahore Resolution 1940
 The Muslim League met for its 27th annual session, in Lahore from 22nd to 24th March 1940. A resolution was mtroduced by the Bengal premier A.K. Fazl-ul-Haq on 23rd March, and was unanimously and enthusiastically approved by the general body of the participants on March 24th.



 The participants represented the entire Muslim community of India. The most important part of the resolation read:  "Geographically contiguous units be demarcated into regions... in which the Muslims are numerically a majority, as in the north-western and eastern zones of India, should be grouped to constitute independent states in which the constituent units shall be autonomous and sovereign." The resolution was originally called "Lahore Resolution' but later it came to be known as "Pakistan Resolution". This name was given by the hostile Hitido press and readily picked up by the Quaid-e-Azam In the following seven years the Lahore Resolution was referred to as the sole document formulating lodian Muslima unanimous national aspirations. In April 1940, All india Muslim League Madras session adopted the Lahore Resolution verbatim (without any amendment in the text) as Muslim League's offical 'mission statement and it was made a part of the All India Muslam League Manifesto. Some people objected that the Lahore Resolution was based on the demand of 'states", not a single state and it was absolutely silent on the question of uniting the northwestern Muslim majority areas of India with northeastern Muslim majority areas, into one state. (These areas were later called West Pakistan and East Pakistan respectively). The confusion was resolved in the Muslim Legislatures Convention held in Delhi on April 9, 1946. Involvement in the World War-II impelled the British to make an all out effort for the solution of the Indian problem. Since the Congress represented the majority community and was in a better position to dictate her terms on the British rulers and exploit matters to her benefit. It was only through the Quad-e-Azam's leadership, his exceptional negotiation skills and his wise timely decisions that the Muslims were able to overcome all obstacles and make their way to independence successfully and triumphantly.
