On March 24, 1940, the Muslim League passed the historic Lahore Resolution, which later became known as the Pakistan Resolution. This document asserted that Muslims were a distinct nation and that any future constitutional plan for India must include the creation of independent sovereign states in Muslim-majority regions. This move effectively ended the possibility of a unified, independent India under a single federal government. The resolution provided the ideological framework for the Two-Nation Theory and mobilized Muslim political support, fundamentally altering the trajectory of the Indian independence movement.
