Let’s celebrate 23rd March “PAKISTAN RESOLUTION DAY” with divine inspiration & excited interest in honor of that great achievement in the honor of that time sine “THE LAHORE RESOLUTION” were declined by All India Muslim League’s relating committee.

The Pakistan Resolution ( called Lahore Resolution), actively, specified the plan for bringing up of Pakistan into separate state. Exclusively, it was only written data which had been conversed & approved among each of the authorized members of Indian sub continent from all around who comes below the most authorized person “Muhammad Ali Jinnah”. The sole official paper to direct the attention and called the “Father Document “of Pakistan

This Lahore/Pakistan Resolution also called “karar dat-e-Pakistan”. It was no doubt proved to be a milestone in the past events for the Muslims living in the sub-continent. Prior to this Resolution, the Muslims living in the sub-continent had zero vision and null goals about their future. The political situation of Muslims endures under such cowards personalities who had intense compatibilities angles and disagreements.

Immediately after when the Lahore Resolution was accepted by the Muslim League, the media on the other hand of Hindu league initiated assessing its faults and merits and officially announce this resolution as Pakistan Resolution.

In 1940, All India Muslim League fulfilled important role in the existence of Pakistan, for the Muslims of subcontinent Indo-Pak, Muslim league had turn into powerful, zealous and determined political party, below this the Muslims were in a state of great effort and strive to divide themselves from Hindus to get their free homeland. The heroic man and striking Muslim leader, Muhammad Ali Jinnah at that time turned into attaching icon of Muslims oneness and their politics and that the Muslims were formerly rely him that he, himself turn into a custom and practice of a society for Muslims.

ü In the words of Quaid-i-Azam: “Hindus and the Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs and literature. They neither inter-marry nor inter-dine and, indeed, they belong to two different civilizations that are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their concepts on life and of life are different. It is quite clear that Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes and different episodes…”

ü The resolution which was passed at the session reads: “No constitutional plan would be workable or acceptable to the Muslims unless geographical contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary. That the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in 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”.

ü It further reads, “That adequate, effective and mandatory safeguards shall be specifically provided in the constitution for minorities in the units and in the regions for the protection of their religious, cultural, economic, political, and administrative and other rights of the minorities, with their consultation. Arrangements thus should be made for the security of Muslims where they were in a minority”.

Two Nation Theory – Basis of Ideology

Allama Iqbal presented the idea of Two nation theory, he was the one who puts the idea forward that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations and they should have their separate homeland where both nations can separately enjoy and follow their religion, culture, morals, languages. Therefore, all other heads of the Muslim League supported Allama Iqbal on this view that was basis of ideology.
