Pakistan in 1930

In 1930, Allama Iqbal presided over the annual session of the Muslim League held in Allahabad. He said that the areas where the Muslims were in a majority should be joined in a single state for the Muslims of India.

Pakistan in1940

In 1940, two years after Allama Iqbal’s death; another big session of the Muslim League was held at Lahore. It was decided that the Muslim League; would try to get a separate homeland for the Muslims. This decision was called the Lahore Resolution or the Pakistan Resolution, The Indian National Congress; which was a major political party of
Indie, opposed the idea of Pakistan.

However, a great number of Muslims all over India voted for the Muslim League in the elections of 1945. It became clear now that most of the Muslims of India wanted a separate homeland. The British had decided to leave South Asia, but they did not want to divide it into India and Pakistan. But the Quaid-e-Azam made it clear to everyone that the Muslims would not accept any solution other than the creation of Pakistan. At loss, the British had to respect the decision of the Muslims, and Pakistan came into being on 14 August 1947
