Pakistan History 

 In this decade, Pakistan was regarded as a new and fast-growing country as well as an important player regionally and globally, as compared to its neighbor India. It is also considered one of the world’s most powerful states economically and politically.

India in 1947

India was under British leadership after Independence in 1947, it had been the largest state on Earth for many years. After much fighting and a lot of bloodsheds, Indian forces defeated the mighty Pakistani army during the war, which caused the creation of Bangladesh. On August 1, 1947, Bengal became the first province, and it would be the only province after that ever to be declared autonomous. All of this happened within 12 days of Independence, but that didn’t stop anyone from trying to make out why so little attention was given to the problem, instead of making up fake reasons and making up excuses for things that never really took place. To add insult to injury, the treaty was signed without being ratified, leading to a coup d'état. India tried to give the treaty a chance but was failed. With no luck of success, India left itself without any choice, but they did try to work with the US to convince them to ratify, and finally gave them 72 hours to do so, or else they’d risk taking back the territories they fought against. They got the ratification, without being ratified by Congress and the Senate of the United States. This caused another major disturbance to the whole country as they tried to figure out what would happen if the country became independent. So in December 1948, India formally became Pakistan and the Hindus were given the right to rule the land. And the war that started wasn’t just about Hindus; it also was about Muslims. When the Muslims believed that the Hindus were their spiritual rulers, people started attacking the Jews, because their lands had been taken from them, causing them to start to hate themselves and others who looked like them. A battle at Partition occurred, involving the government of India and the Muslim League, and they got involved. There are now several different types of Hindus and Sikhs living in Pakistan, which has added a big part to the country’s racial diversity. While there are hundreds of mosques, temples in different regions of Lahore have been built, adding the religions to the already rich heritage of Islamic traditions and architecture. The nation of Pakistan is known as “Pakistan” for now. But once again, we have to dig deeper and find out that history and try to understand exactly what happened there, before independence, to see what was going on during that time

History of Pakistan

Pakistan was formed on 14th February 1839, from the British colonies they gained, and the name “Pakistan” was chosen for that reason. As mentioned earlier, Pakistan was not recognized by the United Nations, until 1950 or so, because they deemed it to be too strong. The main reason, according to some experts was the fact that while India was pushing westward, they were able to push Pakistan back due to the small amount of food production, and the lack of natural resources. Therefore to maintain control over the territories (and power), they needed to use force. Once they started, in 1947, Pakistan was put under the command of the British Empire. Since then the country has been having problems, especially when it comes to minorities; for example, Hindus and Sikhs in particular. People like Muhammad Ali Jinnah started protesting when he saw the idea that his land would become independent. He wanted to fight back and be able to lead the country. Eventually, in 1940 he decided his goal, which was to get his land under the direct rule of the Muslims which would be named “Pakistan.” He made the country’s motto about “the subcontinent of Islam,” rather than Pakistan, although he did want to include both the religious values of the Muslims and the values of the British. When Pakistan did indeed become independent, it had been called “Pakistan before independence.” The first ruler of Pakistan was Muhammed Ali Khan- an Indian prince. He also established the tradition of giving titles to his family and relatives, such as “Pataudi” meaning father in Arabic, etc. He also made a law known as qawwa, which means divorce, to avoid disputes between parents. Now when talking about problems, he said “the condition of women was quite deplorable.” For many years women weren't allowed to even vote or participate in anything, or go anywhere unless married. This wasn’t the case in Pakistan, however, and women were able to vote, and women had rights that hadn’t been found in India. Women were also now able to hold positions in both public and private life. It was pretty impressive when you look at how many women fought in the battles that were fought. Unfortunately, on 16th October 1947, Pakistan was attacked from the direction of India. As the main trigger to get rid of Pakistan, the people had started burning their entire country by the Indian Air Force. Unfortunately, Pakistan had already lost several major wars around that time, with Afghanistan being the last. Unfortunately, since Pakistan was largely destroyed by the Indian Air Force, Pakistanis got fed up and decided to take matters into their own hands a second time, with the invasion of Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan in 1947, and the creation of Pakistan and India in 1947. On September 15, 1947, India signed the Tlaqui accord that promised to remove the Muslim minority from the country from August 15, 1947, when they entered Pakistan.

Quaid-e-Azam(founder of Pakistan)

 India and Pakistan had a very good relationship but their relationship often turned sour when it came to the question of territorial dispute. These treaties caused tensions between the Hindus and the Muslims, and they caused trouble when the Indian military started invading other countries so  Pakistan and India broke up.
