what was the reaction of Muslims on pakistan resolution
Answers
Answer: Lahore Resolution was the statement adopted by All India Muslim League on 22-24 March 1940. In this resolution it was demanded that there must be establishment of a separate homeland for the Muslims of British India. However, Choudhary Rahmat Ali in his Pakistan Declaration proposed the name “Pakistan”
With the introduction of political reforms in India by the British, the Muslims realized that they would become a permanent minority in a democratic system and it would never be possible for them to protect their fundamental rights. They only constituted one fourth of the total Indian population and were much lesser in number than the majority Hindu community. In order to protect their political, social and religious rights they first demanded for separate electorates. However, due to the political developments that took place in the country they realized that even the right of separate electorates would not be enough and they had to search for some other long term solution.
