PAKISTAN DAY is commemorated every year on March 23 on account of a historic Resolution that was unanimously passed in Lahore by a congregation All India Muslim League in favor of a separate homeland for the Muslims of Indian sub-continent. This was demanded in view of the extreme injustice and grievances directed against the Muslims under the majority Hindu rule following elections held by the British Raj in 1930s. This unanimous Resolution paved the way for the first independent Muslim state i.e. Pakistan on August 14, 1947.
