March 23 constitutes an important day in the life of every Pakistani. Almost
eight decades ago, on this very day (23 March 1940 to be precise), the largest
Muslim representative political party in the British Indian Empire, the All-
India Muslim League passed a historic “Lahore Resolution” at its General
Session held in Lahore. The resolution laid the basis for a separate statehood
for the Muslims of the subcontinent. It took another seven years before the
Muslims of Subcontinent realized the dream of a separate homeland that was
Pakistan (meaning: The Land of the Pure).
