Best speech on independence day for students
Pakistan came into being as a result of the Pakistan Movement; The Pakistan Movement sought to create an independent Muslim state by partitioning the northwestern region of South Asia and was led by the All India Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The event was triggered by the Indian Independence Act of 1947, in which the British Indian Empire gave independence to the Dominion of Pakistan (later the Islamic Republic of Pakistan), which included West Pakistan (present-day Pakistan) and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
In the Islamic calendar, Independence Day coincided with Ramadan 27, the eve of which is considered sacred by Muslims. The main ceremony takes place in Islamabad, where the national flag is hoisted on the presidential and parliament buildings, followed by the national anthem and live televised speeches by leaders.
“Pakistan means not only freedom and independence but also the preserved Muslim ideology which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which we hope others will share with us. Muhammad Ali Jinnah
The Indo-Pak subcontinent remained a British colony from 1849–1947. The people of the subcontinent did not approve of British rule in a united India. The rebellion that took place in 1857 eventually gave shape to the freedom movement that exemplified the struggle of the people of British India for independence.
Muslims ruled the subcontinent before the British invasion and suffered through the 1857 rebellion against the British East India Company. Leaders like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and Syed Ameer Ali worked diligently for the political progress of the Muslim people.
The Indian National Congress was founded in 1885, which later became the largest political party in British India. Major Muslim political leaders, including Muhammad Ali Jinnah, were members of the Indian National Congress and sought Hindu-Muslim unity and independence for India.
The All India Muslim League was founded on 30 December 1906. There was a growing demand for an independent Muslim state in India. In 1930, Muhammad Iqbal introduced the idea of a separate Muslim state geographically consisting of the Muslim majority areas of the subcontinent. The word Pakistan is a combination of two words Pak meaning Pure and Stan meaning Earth, a name coined by Choudhary Rahmat Ali.
Strong Hindu nationalism gave rise to the two-nation theory, an ideology that is accredited as the basis for the creation of Pakistan. In 1940, the Pakistan Resolution demanding greater Muslim autonomy in British India was passed in Lahore.
