History
Every year on August 14, Pakistan celebrates Independence Day, a national holiday honouring the day the country gained its independence and became a sovereign state after the British Raj ended in 1947. (Wikipedia, 2022). Pakistan was created as a result of the Pakistan Movement, which was spearheaded by the All-India Muslim League under the direction of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and sought to divide the northwestern region of South Asia into separate Muslim states.
The Indian Independence Act of 1947, which granted the Dominion of Pakistan (after the Islamic Republic of Pakistan), which includes West Pakistan (current Pakistan) and East Pakistan, independence from the British Indian Empire, was the catalyst for the event (now Bangladesh).
