The Independence of Pakistan



  At the end of the second World War, the British moved out of India. The war had weakened those powerful imperialistic countries, and they did not have the resources to take care of the colonies. The British ruled India more than 200 years, and then it ended. In 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru became India`s first prime minster.
But, before the British left, they did not want the people of India to live peacefully.
During the colonial period, British feared the Muslims, and they tried to win them to their side. As a result, the British established the M.A.O College at Aligarh and supported an all India-Muslim conference . Then the support from the British encourage the  Muslim leaders to seek independence. They established the electoral process of the Partition of India
    Soon the division between religions emerged. But the Muslims were difficult to accept colonial power and culture. They refused to learn English and they refused to associate with the British. With these Muslim activities, the British lost their confidence in Muslims, and Hinduism became the favor of the British.
Under Britain`s incitement, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was the first to conceive of a separate Muslim homeland. The Hindu revivalists also deepened between the two nations. but their plan to gain independence did not go as they wished. The Muslims also gained more power under the guidance of dynamic leaders like Jinnah. In the end, the Muslims rejected the mission of the cabinet that was proposed in 1942. In August 15, 1947, Pakistan announce independent.
