Answer:
Pakistan Movement (Urdu: تحریک پاکستان) is a name given to the Movement carried out by the Muslims of British India to create a separate homeland. This struggle was led by the Muslim League and resulted in the partition of the British Empire. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was head of the movement. The other Muslim League leaders were: Allama Iqbal, Liaqat Ali Khan, 'Lord' Chaudhry Naseer Ahmad Malhi, Fatima Jinnah, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, A.K. Fazlul Huq, and Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar.
The Pakistan Resolution was passed in 1940 at Lahore. Muslim League made this resolution its main objective election campaigns. Soon after World War II, the British were convinced that keeping British colony in South Asia was no longer possible, as the United Kingdom itself was economically shattered by the war. British India was divided into Pakistan and India.
The idea of Pakistan was presented by Allama Muhammad Iqbal in 1930. Iqbal asked Jinnah to focus his energies towards getting an independent homeland for Muslims of the South Asia. The name was proposed by Choudhary Rahmat Ali in his 1933 'Pakistan Declaration'.
