23rd March is the big day in the history of Pakistan. On this day, in 1940, a resolution was passed in the annual session of Muslim League India, held in Manto Park, currently known as Iqbal Park. People fed up for so long had broken their knots, opened their eyes and demanded a separate homeland where they were free to live without the dominance of any other religion. This awareness and these demands were the gateways to the making of the new homeland named Pakistan. The resolution was passed on 23rd March 1940 and it took seven more years till the creation of Pakistan.

Bypassing this constitution, Pakistan had its first legalized constitution that declared Pakistan as the “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”.
