14th August – Pakistan Independence Day

Overview:

14th August is celebrated annually as Pakistan's Independence Day. It marks the day in 1947 when Pakistan gained independence from British rule and was established as a sovereign nation for Muslims of the Indian subcontinent.

Historical Background:

Partition of British India: The independence came as a result of the division of British India into two separate states: India and Pakistan, based on religious demographics.

Two-Nation Theory: The creation of Pakistan was largely based on the ideology promoted by Allama Iqbal and later carried forward by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, asserting that Muslims and Hindus were two distinct nations with different religious and cultural values.

Role of Muhammad Ali Jinnah: Known as the "Quaid-e-Azam" (Great Leader), Jinnah was the founder and first Governor-General of Pakistan. He played a pivotal role in securing a homeland for Muslims.$BTC $ETH
