Lahore resolution:

Lahore resolution is the most important political movement in the world. It for the Muslims
divided the Indian continent’s homeland. Despite being ravaged by numerous conspiracies and
intrigues hatched in rapid succession by unwelcome powers, this nation was destined to survive
and prosper. Pakistan was born seven years after the resolution of 23 March 1940. It was formed
in the midst of deep ideological difference, intensified by the prejudiced action of the Hindu
government, whose sole purpose was to subjugate the Muslim population after the independence
of India from British colonial rule. Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the
Muslims of the sub-continent soon realized that they faced becoming a permanent minority if
India remained undivided after independence. This realization was not based purely on fear, but
on solid estimate. In post-independence situation, it was likely almost impossible for Muslims to
defend their constitutional right under the Hindu majority whose leaders and rulers had already
begun to show hegemonic attitudes. 
In the year between the adoption of Lahore resolution and independence, the Muslim population
was just one quarter of the total Indian population. In view of this situation, Muslims first called
for separate electorates to secure their political, social and religious rights. However due to the
political changes that followed, they decided that even the right to separate the electorate would
not be enough. They had to look for some other long term option. In his famous Allahabad
speech, Iqbal made it clear that Islam had its own socio-economic structure and that a separate,
autonomous political body was required to enforce it. Driven by Iqbal vision, Jinnah started to
work in full swing to gather Muslim support. 
In fact, the overwhelming support to the Muslim masses for his call to celebrate the day of
delivery on 22 December, 1939 was symbolic vote of confidence in Jinnah’s leadership. This
mass mobilization soon became a movement for Pakistan. Jinnah’s speeches introduced values
that gave Muslims the courage to form their own destiny. In fact, it was the most significant
manifestation of the will and unity of the people that ultimately triumphed over all the intrigues
led by the Hindu leadership, who did their utmost to resist the development of an Indian Muslim
homeland in liga with British colonial functionaries. Jinnah address to the Lahore conference
which eventually adopted resolution 23rd March, inspired multitudes of Muslim to begin a
permanent, unwavering freedom movement. Thousands of people participated in the Minto Park
meeting, near the Badshahi mosques and Lahore fort. Jinnah Address the moment where he
irrevocably became the leader in the struggle for a separate Muslim homeland. 
In his two hour English address, Jinnah recounted the event that Hindus and Muslims belong to
two separate religious tradition, social custom and literature. They are not inter-dine together.
They belong to two separate culture founded mostly on opposite concept and ideas. So, it is clear
that Hindus and Muslims are two different history. They have various epic, different heroes and
different stories. To unite two nations under one state may lead to the unrest and eventual
destruction of any structure that might be so build up for such a state government. During his
speech Jinnah clearly mention that Hindus and Muslim are two distinct which could never be
combined into one. Jinnah replied a Hindu nationalism that “No Hindu can be a nationalist. Each
Hindu is the first and last Hindu”. 

WW2
India gained independence on August 15, 1947: a moment of birth which was also an abortion,
as liberty came with the horrors of the partition, when East and West Pakistan were hacked off
India's stooped shoulders by the departing British. There was also a division which was
intangible. They shattered bonds, ravaged families, hacked geography, misread history, denied
culture, ripped minds and hearts apart. The development and perpetuation of Hindu-Muslim
antagonism was the most important achievement of British imperial policy: the colonial project
of division and rule fostered religious antagonisms to promote continued imperial rule and
reached its tragic peak in 1947. 
The British enjoyed drawing lines on maps of other countries; after World War I they had done it
in the Middle East and they did it in India again. Partition was the coda to the 1947 fall of British
hegemony in India. Killing and mass migration have escalated as people genuinely wished to be
on 
the "right" side of the lines that the British would draw across their homeland. More than a
million people have died in the savagery that followed India and Pakistan's freedom; some 17
million have been displaced, and many resources have been destroyed and plundered. Lines
meant living life. The British emerge with little credit in that latter, insane, headlong dash to
independence and partition. They had no intention of handing over power so soon, or at all,
before the Second World War. In the last years the experience of the elected governments of
British Raj showed that the British had never taken seriously their stated project of fostering the
responsible governance of India. They freely helped the Muslim League take advantage of this
unexpected opportunity to wield power and patronage that their electoral support did not gain
them and create support while their key opponents languished in prison. This was all part of the
divide and rule strategy, which actively fostered political differences between Hindus and
Muslims, identified as the monolithic groups they had never been before the British. 
 No one in any responsible role in Britain as late as 1940 had any serious intention whatsoever to
surrender the Empire or surrender the jewel in His Majesty’s Crown to a rabble of homespun-
clad Nationalist Indians. But World War II destruction meant only half of the sentence could
survive. Britain's own policies before and during the war ensured that the Muslim League was
strong enough to maintain its demand for a separate homeland for Muslims by the time of its
departure, and the chances for a united India surviving a British departure had largely faded.
Cyril Radcliffe, who had never been to India before and knew little of its culture, society or
customs, was given the mission of separating the two nations. Radcliffe, sweating profusely in
the foreign sun, drew up his maps in less than five weeks, separating provinces, districts, towns,
homes and hearts-and scuttled promptly to Britain, never to return to India. 
The scars of the partition lasted 70 years, while India emerged as a vibrant pluralist democracy
while Pakistan divided into two with the 1971 East secession as Bangladesh.
