1940 Lahore conference Muslim League
The Lahore Resolution or Lahore Declaration was a pivotal event in the history of the All India Muslim League, which was held on March 22-24, 1940, in Lahore, British India. The conference was attended by over 1000 delegates from all over the subcontinent, representing various sections of the Muslim society.
During the conference, the Muslim League passed a resolution demanding the creation of an independent Muslim state in the northwestern and eastern regions of British India, which would be called "Pakistan." The resolution was moved by the League's president, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and it was seconded by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, a prominent Muslim leader from Punjab.
The Lahore Resolution was a significant milestone in the struggle for the creation of Pakistan. It was a clear and unequivocal demand for a separate homeland for Muslims in India, and it set the stage for the eventual partition of India in 1947. The resolution marked the beginning of a new phase in the Muslim League's struggle for Pakistan, and it galvanized the Muslim masses in support of the demand for a separate Muslim state.
