Pakistan Movement (Urdu: تحریک پاکستان) is a name given to the independence struggle carried out by the Muslims of British South Asia to create a separate homeland. This struggle was led by the Muslim League. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was head of the movement. The other Muslim League leaders were: Allama Iqbal, Liaqat Ali Khan, Fatima Jinnah, Suhrawardy and Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar. The Pakistan Resolution was passed in 1940 at Lahore. Muslim League made this resolution its main objective election campaigns. Soon after World War II, the British were convinced that keeping British colony in South Asia was no longer possible, as the United Kingdom itself was economically shattered by the war. British South Asia was divided into Pakistan and India. The idea of Pakistan was presented by Allama Iqbal in 1930. Iqbal asked Jinnah to focus his energies towards getting an independent homeland for Muslims of the South Asia.
