As we celebrate the 58th Anniversary of Pakistan, Lets turn around and see the history of the beloved nation and lets remember the people who have shaped it beautifully and has bring to the nation to what it is today!
Looking back in the last century, when the Muslim League was first formed in 1906 by Agha Khan to safeguard the political rights of Muslims in India. Its first leader was our National poet, Allama Mohammed Iqbal, who introduced the idea of separate Muslim nation in 1930. By 1940, the league had gained much support under the leadership of Qaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who wanted to make Iqbal's dream a reality and demanded for the separate Muslim-India despite of the oppositions of Indian Congress. The League won most of the votes in 1946 and lead to the establishment of Pakistan on August 14, 1947; Jinnah then became the governor-general and Liaquat Ali Khan as the first Prime Minister.
During the partition, about 7.5 Million Muslims migrated to Pakistan from many different cities including Junagadh, Hyderabad and Kashmir; and about 10 Million Hindus left Pakistan for India. During this, India Pakistan Wars started when Hindu ruler signed over Kashmir to India while majority of it was Muslims; and this conflict stays unresolved.
In my opinion, these two were one of the major history events that have mostly influenced our present. Of course, building of the nation was the key event but the bases upon which the nation was formed still is worth defining. The main purpose of having a separate nation was to save our religion (Shariah), language and Muslim's political rights…
Do you think the idea of separting Muslims and Hindus was a good Idea, when these both nations were living together for ages? Only for the outsiders, was it right to break a bond, which was made centuries ago?
Do you think have we accomplished in making our Heroes efforts and dreams true?
