The document summarizes the Pakistan Resolution of 1940 which was passed during the annual session of the All India Muslim League in Lahore. It established the Muslim League's demand for a separate Muslim state in India. The resolution was drafted by a committee and presented to the working committee on March 23, 1940, where it was unanimously adopted the following day. The resolution set goals of demarcating contiguous Muslim-majority regions and providing safeguards for religious minorities. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's presidential address emphasized that Muslims were a separate nation distinct from others in British India. The resolution was a milestone in defining the political objectives of Muslims in their independence struggle.
