Short History of Pakistan’s Independence
Before getting separate nation we were historically a part of India. The idea of getting independence took place when different events that occurred during the British rule. In 1906, when “All India Muslim League” formed from there Pakistan started their political history. The main purpose of this League was to protect the interests and rights of the Muslims in India. Soon this league started to struggle for getting a separate nation for Muslims. The great founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah presented two nation theory in 1940. According to this theory Jinnah demanded to British that India should divide into two separate nations on the basis of their cultural values & religious demographics. At last, on August 14, 1947 Muhammad Ali Jinnah (The founder of Pakistan) succeed to get a separate nation for their people. For getting a separate nation from India people of Pakistan faced so many sacrifices.
