Background of lahore resolution
Answers
Answer:
Lahore resolution is also known as the Declaration of Independence of Pakistan.
Explanation:
Sir Mohammad Iqbal at the Allahabad Session of the Muslim League in 1930 convinced a plan of a Muslim State. Such a State would embrace all those Provinces where the Muslim faith was strong. A group of young men at Cambridge, led by Rahmat Ali, systematically propagated this scheme. In 1933 a four-page leaflet was distributed by them. They confessed that their scheme of Pakistan was different from that of Iqbal. Sir Iqbal wanted the merger of these provinces into a single state within the Indian Federation. He was not thinking in terms of the partition of India. The Cambridge boys, on the other hand, proposed that these provinces should of separate Federation of their own. Rahmat Ali had even found a name for this separate state. He called it 'Pakistan', a word composed of initial letters of Punjab, Afghan Province (NWFP), Kashmir and Sindh and the last syllable of Baluchistan.
At its Lahore Session in 1940, the Muslim League passed a resolution that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in majority should be grouped to constitute an Independent State.
