On 23rd March, 1940 under the roof of Mughal emperor Shahjahan’s Badshahi mosque, in the city Lahore that has been known as the heart of Muslims of subcontinent for so many years and decades, a resolution had passed by a group of great Muslim Leaders with one point agenda ‘A separate homeland for Muslims of subcontinent'. The resolution initially presented with the name of ‘Lahore Resolution' but who knew that it will going to create a history in only seven years of time period.
The resolution was signed by the leaders of All India Muslim League that clearly reject the idea of United India because after British government, everyone knew that the powers will automatically go in the hands of Hindu as they were in majority and that will create a disaster for Muslims and other minorities, they will have to suffer for their basic rights religiously, on cultural basis, political and social basis as well.
All the Muslims leaders including the founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah have a crystal clear vision regarding the rights of Muslims and if Hindus came in the ruling position Muslims will face the undefinable limitless problems in all aspects of life. The resolution was named as Lahore Resolution and even it didn’t actually mention Pakistan anywhere, but after that resolution the struggle found a new life and energy. The resolution later called as PAKISTAN Resolution and it had become the turning point for Muslims of India. After 23rd March, 1940, Muslims of subcontinent never looked back.
In just seven years after the resolution passed, Pakistan came in to being on the map and became the world’s first Islamic Republic. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his other members, the leaders and companions lead Muslims from the front. The struggle and vision was real and only for the rights of Muslim men and women, for the generation and generation.
The nation proudly celebrate Pakistan Day annually on 23rd March. The day starts with early morning parades in Islamabad and in all provincial capitals of the country. We all should be grateful to Allah for the independent homeland where we are free to perform our religious and cultural activities without any fear. Pakistan and Muslims of subcontinent will always remain blessed to have great leaders like Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Liaquat Ali Khan, Chaudhary Rehmat Ali, Fazlul Haq, Ibrahim Ismail Chundrigar, Nawab Mohsin-ul-Mulk, Fatima Jinnah, Begum Rana Liaquat, Jahanara Shahnawaz and many more leaders, personalities and people of subcontinent who have struggled for our better and shining future.
After the creation of PAKISTAN, Quaid-e-Azam spread the message of unity always and said,
“We are now all Pakistanis - not Baluchis, Pathans, Sindhis, Bengalis, Punjabis and so on and as Pakistanis we must feel, behave and act, and we should be proud to be known as Pakistanis and nothing else.”
The founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah always encourage people with his words of Unity , faith and discipline. If we want to see Pakistan a successful country we must try individually and play our own part for unity and betterment of the country and the citizens.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!
