The significance of March 23

The history of the Sub-Continent was afflicted with the access of the Pakistan Resolution on March 23, 1940.


 On this day, the abundant Quaid Muhammad Ali Jinnah in his abode at the Minto Park for the aboriginal time anytime formally and foolishly accepted a abstracted country based on the abstraction of the Muslim nationhood. The Pakistan Resolution was confused by the backward Bengal Chief Minister A K Fazlul Haq and was seconded by Choudhry Khaliquzzaman. It stated: “No built-in plan would be applicable in this country or adequate to Muslims unless it is advised on the afterward basal principle, namely, that geographically abutting units are bound into regions which should be so constituted, … that the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in majority, as in the north-western and eastern zones of India, should be aggregate to aggregate absolute states in which the basic units shall be chargeless and sovereign…”

In his address, whose reverberations can be acquainted even today, the Quaid awash with faculty of honour and amends spurned the claims fabricated by the Indian Congress that it was the sole adumbrative of the accomplished of India’s population, including some 95 actor Muslims. This came as a above shock for the Nehru-Gandhi duo, which was not accessible to acquire the Muslim demands and claimed to be the sole assembly of the Indian population. Appropriately their affirmation that there were alone two parties i.e. the British and Congress who could achieve the catechism of ability of the Sub-Continent was burst already and for all. On this day, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, with his articular acumen and honest appraisement of the situation, donned the crimson of the Abundant Quaid and showed to the accomplished apple that he was the sole adumbrative of the Muslims of the Sub-Continent.

The Quaid, who set off in following of a new country this day, able-bodied accepted that Muslims could not advance and reside their lives in accordance with their religion, ability and appearance in an absolute India bedeviled by the Hindu majority. He appropriately accepted a abstracted citizenry for the Muslims area they would be chargeless from Hindu prejudices of caste, ability and religion. It was a acute accommodation on a momentous break apparent by abounding abutment of the Muslims of the Sub-Continent.

Earlier, the poet-philosopher, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, in his abode to the Muslim League at Allahabad in 1930, had envisioned a abstracted citizenry for the Muslims. Back then, the abstraction had affected millions of Muslims and became a allotment of their heartbeats bestowed with renewed faculty of purpose on March 23, 1940.

In retrospect, it is important to realise that the Quaid’s Two Nation abstraction did not circumduct about a theocratic accompaniment but a country in the Muslim bedeviled areas area the Muslims could abound and advance chargeless from all Hindu ascendancy and biases and best the abolitionist course of bigotry.

Now as the time passes back the conception of Pakistan and the action of Muslims and added minorities continues to aggravate in India today, one can alone endorse the conspicuously alive eyes of the abundant baton and accentuate his ability as a apple chic statesman.

Thus, on March 23, we should reflect aloft the allowance of Pakistan at a time if abounding countries in the apple face abundant turmoil, some of them even civilian wars and are on the border of disintegration. This day we should advice accession acquaintance a part of the new ancestors about the attempt of the Muslims for their appropriate to freedom and how important it is to aegis Pakistan’s adherence and integrity. The day aswell calls aloft us to adhesive the armament of accord and affiliation as cynics arise their campaigns in political opportunism.

On this day, we should reignite the spirit of the celebrated Lahore Resolution of 1940 by ambulatory activity and spirit a part of our countrymen. The altercation is simple and enduring: Pakistan with its abundant potential, negotiating the bewilderment and complexities and advantageous all the cogent challenges, is actuality to break always and accomplish actual and potentially acceptable progress.
