The Pakistan Resolution also known as the Lahore Resolution, commemorated in Pakistan on March 23 every year is the first major step towards an unequivocal demand for a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Subcontinent of India. Although it is a formal political resolve or statement demanding for greater autonomy in the Muslim majority areas in British India, yet it became a stepping stone for a stepped up struggle on the part of the Muslim League for an independent state for Muslims. Barely 7 years after the passage of the historic resolution, Pakistan emerged on the world map. The name Pakistan, originally coined by one of the Muslim stalwart Chaudhry Rahmat Ali in early 1933 was not specifically mentioned in the Pakistan Resolution.
