It was a joint effort of the Muslim authorities from present day Pakistan and the Bengal state of British India. During a three day long (March 22 - 24, 1940) annual session of the political group of British India called the All India Muslim League, the Lahore Resolution was crafted as a political demand to create a separate state for the Muslims of British India. Muslim leaders were worried that in a Hindu-majority democratic State, Muslims would have a difficult time protecting their rights. The Pakistan Demand was born out of fear of Muslims becoming a minority in predominantly Hindu India. The demand for a Muslim state by the Muslim leaders of British India was strongly expressed during 1940 through the Lahore Resolution, also known as the Pakistan Demand or Pakistan Resolution. The outcry for a Muslim state started long before the partition. Following the devastating effects of the Second World War, the British colonialists gave up their control over the Indian subcontinent and the 1947 partition outlined two independent nations - India and Pakistan. Comprehending the development of the liberation war of Bangladesh involves a meticulous retrospective look into the events leading to the partition of the Indian subcontinent. Ironically, religion brought together Bangladesh and Pakistan as one State during the partition of the subcontinent and later the very same religion separated the two. This concept of religious division was also used as a root cause for the creation of Pakistan in the first place following British colonialism of the subcontinent. The Pakistani government wanted to turn Bangladeshis into exemplary Muslims by alienating them from their Hindu background. The liberation war of Bangladesh was not merely a war for independence fought by Bangladeshi nationalists - one of its main triggers was religion. The Partition of the Indian Subcontinent and Creation of Pakistan This research paper provides a profound overview of these historical narratives and draws a comparison between present day Bangladesh and Pakistan. In order to understand ongoing Bangladeshi politics and the socio-economic sphere, it is required to analyse the history of Pakistani colonialism and the events surrounding the 1971 liberation war that turned Bangladesh into an independent sovereign State. The Bangladesh we see today is essentially the fruit of the liberation war of 1971. This bloodstained historical event has constructed Bangladeshi sense of nationalism and has forged their contemporary Constitution. The 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh against Pakistan continues shaping the mindset of Bangladeshi people until present day. 1971 Liberation war, birth of Bangladesh and comparison with present day Pakistan Introduction
