Explanation
The Lahore Resolution, a landmark political resolution, was passed on 23rd March 1940, at the annual session of the All-India Muslim League in Lahore. This resolution formally articulated the demand for independent states for Muslims in the northwestern and eastern zones of British India, which eventually led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
