Allama Iqbal also known as the Poet of The East, at the session of All India Muslim League in 1930, coined the idea of Muslims having a separate and sovereign Islamic state where they would have freedom enough to follow their religion with peace and justice enough to have an equal chance at making their life standards and the state prosper.
It was Iqbal who coined the idea of the Two Nation Theory, the theory which would provide Muslims with a separate state. Later in 1940, after several deliberations, meetings and talks, the Founding Fathers of the All India Muslim League rejected the theory and proposal of united India as the Muslims and Hindus.
They were two separate people with distinct culture, traditions, heritage, ideology, morals and language which were contrary of each other. They unanimously rejected the idea of united India and called for a separate Muslim homeland.
This idea was presented to the people of British India on 23rd March, 1940 at Minto Park Lahore as The Lahore Resolution which raised the morale of the people and prepared them for the upcoming final struggle for their rights.
This Resolution led to the creation of the world’s First Islamic Republic which was recognized as a migrant state born amid bloodshed.
