Section # 1: The 23rd March Pakistan Day (Explained)

What is Pakistan Day and Why Pakistanis celebrate it?

This section of the article deeply describes the historical background of 23 March in Pakistan’s History. Here are the major highlights covered in this section:

  • What is 23rd March Pakistan Day?
  • The Story of 23rd March 1940 Pakistan Day
  • The 23 March Resolution (Qarardad-e-Pakistan)
  • The Story of 23rd March 1956 Pakistan Republic Day

The Lahore resolution has shown itself to be a successful struggle for the liberation of Muslims from British rule on the subcontinent. The Lahore resolution took nearly seven years to shape Pakistan’s new state. Democratic Muslim-majority country, free from dictatorship and proud of its Sovereignty & Independence.

What is 23rd March Pakistan Day? For The First Time, Pakistan Gets That Independent Wakeup Call From Muslim League Leaders!

Pakistan Day, also called the Pakistan Resolution Day or Pakistan Day, is a national holiday in Pakistan that commemorates the passing of the Lahore Resolution passed on 23 March 1940 at Iqbal Park Lahore.

*Do you know? 23rd March in Pakistan is also called Pakistan Republic Day, because nine years later after gaining independence, the status of Pakistan changed from Dominion of Pakistan to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan – on this exact same date in 1956.

The All-India Muslim League organized its annual public session at Lahore’s Minto Park, dated from March 22nd to March 24th in 1940. At this event, the Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and other Founding Fathers, recounted the facts concerning the cultural differences between the Hindus and Muslims, and brought forward a historical resolution that cemented the establishment of a separate Muslim-majority nation-state in South Asia, today called Pakistan. On 23 March, the resolution received its approval signatures from Pakistan’s Founding Fathers.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah portrait from Pakistani money.On 3 June 1947, the British plan was announced for the subcontinent of India to be divided into two domains – India and Pakistan.

Pakistan was established on 14 August 1947 and the independence of India was established one day thereafter. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Pakistan’s founder, became Pakistan’s first Governor and Liaqat Ali Khan, Pakistan’s first Prime Minister.

The Indian act of 1935 presented Pakistan with the legal framework until its own constitution was passed in 1956. The works and efforts of the Committee of Basic Principles drew the constitution’s fundamental outlines in 1949. The first set of the Constitution of Pakistan was enacted in Pakistan on 23 March 1956 after many discussions and years of enhancements. This was the successful transition of the country from the Dominion to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Thus, 23rd March in Pakistan is called Pakistan Day or Pakistan Resolution Day because of the Lahore Resolution in 1940 and called the Pakistan Republic Day because of the successful transition of the country from the Dominion to the Islamic Republic on the same date in 1956.

Other names for Pakistan Day are: 23rd March Pakistan Day, Pakistan Resolution Day, Pakistan Republic Day, 23 March Youm Pakistan

What was the Lahore Resolution or Pakistan Resolution? The 23 March 1940 Qarardad-e-Pakistan Fixes Upon Achieving An Independent State for Muslims

The Lahore Resolution or Pakistan Resolution (also known as Qarardad-e-Pakistan) was a political resolution or declaration drawn up by the 25-member Working Committee of the All India Muslim League from 22 March 1940 to 24 March 1940, which was then formally adopted at the Lahore general sitting on 23 March 1940 by the Muslim League members.

In this resolution, the Muslim majority states such as Punjab, Bengal, Sindh, (NWFP) within British India called for greater Muslim autonomy. Later, it was considered by most to be a call for a separate Muslim-majority State, Pakistan.

The session took place at Lahore’s Minto Park (now called the Iqbal Park). The park was jam-packed by the people, who were eagerly waiting for Muhammad Ali Jinnah to read his speech. A historical speech was delivered by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The Quaid told the events of the last few months during his two-hour Presidential address in English:

“Hindus and Muslims are part of two different religious philosophies, social and literary customs. They do not marry or intermarry and, indeed, they belong to two cultures and civilizations that are primarily based on ideas and conceptions that are mutually incompatible. They have different concepts of life. Hindus and Muslims are clearly inspired by different historical sources. They have different heroes and different episodes. The one hero is quite often the enemy of the other and their victories and defeats also overlap. The two nations that are under one state together must lead to increasing discontent and final destruction of any fabric which may be built for the administration of a state such as one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority.”

He further said:

“The Mussalmans are a nation in any definition of nationhood. We want our people to develop their spiritual, cultural, economic, social, and political lives to the fullest extent possible in the manner which they believe best and in line with their own ideas and visionary.”

Maulvi A.K. Fazlul Huq, on the instructions of the Working Committee, presented the resolution in Minto Park. The Pakistan Resolution Working Committee consisted of 25 members:

Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Liaquat Ali Khan, Sikandar Hayat Khan, Shahnawaz Khan Mamdot, Amir Ahmed Khan Raja Sahib of Mahmudabad, Sher-e-Bangla A.K. Fazlul Huq, Sir Abdullah Haroon, Al-Hajj Sir Khawaja Nazimuddin, Amjadi Bano Begum, Maulana Muhammad Akram Khan, Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman, Nawab Muhammad Ismail Khan, Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim, Ali Muhammad Khan Dehlvi, Qazi Muhammad Isa, Sardar Aurangzeb Khan, Abdul Mateen Chauhdry, Ashiq Mohamed Warsi, Haji Abdus Sattar Essak Saith, S.M. Sharif, Syed Abdul Rauf Shah, Mohammad Latif ur Rahman, Abdul Rehman Siddiqui, Malik Barkat Ali, Sadullah Khan Umarzai

The Resolution reads as:

“No constitutional arrangement would be serviceable or adequate to the Muslims except if land bordering units are separated into areas which should be so comprised with such regional rearrangements as might be essential. That the zones in which the Muslims are numerically in dominant part as in the North-Western and Eastern zones of India should be grouped to comprise independent states in which the constituent units will be independent and sovereign.”

The aims of the Muslim League were increasingly focused on the achievement of an independent Muslim nation-state from the declaration in this 23 March 1940 Resolution.

In any event, the 23rd March Lahore Resolution of the Muslim League, commonly referred to as the Pakistan resolution, changed the dynamics of Indian history and left a profound influence on world history. The Muslims of the subcontinent drastically changed their demand from the “Separate Electorates” to the “Separate State” in the passage of this resolution. This resolution turned down the concept of a United India as its ultimate objective was to create an independent Islamic State. In seven years of struggle, the Quaid’s dynamic leadership and its followers ‘ commitment and passion enabled them to achieve an independent state, today called Pakistan.

What is Pakistan Republic Day? Pakistan Becomes The World’s First Islamic Republic on 23 March 1956

While 23 March Pakistan Day is mainly focused on commemorating the passing of the Lahore Resolution, the day also honors the transition of Pakistan from Dominion to the Islamic Republic.

After Pakistan was formed in 1947, the country celebrated Pakistan Independence Day every year on August 14. Although Pakistan has won its independence, it still has the status of ‘ Dominion, ‘ one of the British Commonwealth’s self-governing territories.

The cabinet, for example, had the right to appoint the governor-general or Prime Minister, but the Queen of the United Kingdom would give formal approval.

Elizabeth II Queen of the United Kingdom

It was on 23 March 1956, when Pakistan became a republic, breaking the official relationship with Britain. The day marked the transition of Pakistan from Dominion to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. So this is why Pakistan Day is also called Pakistan Republic Day.
