Quaid-e-Azam Role in the Making of Pakistan

   

The personality of Quid-e-Azam changed the fate of the Muslims in South Asia. He compelled the British as well as the Hindus to partition India.

Services Rendered by Quaid-e-Azam:

  1. Under Lucknow pact, Quid-e-Azam united the both of the nations (The Hindus and Muslims) in 1916. He got the right of separate electorates for the Muslims acknowledged and got the little of the Ambassador of Peace.
  2. He along with Hindu leaders, Gokhale demanded new constitutional reforms in1913. Again in 1919, his efforts of the Montagu.-Chelmsford Reforms are of great significance.
  3. In 1919, Sir Sydney Rowlatt got an act passed. It was named as the Rowlatt Act. It was a black law. The administration was given unlimited powers and the civil rights were trodden upon. Quid-e-Azam raised his voice against it. He wrote to the Viceroy Lord Chelmsford, "In my opinion, the government that passes or sanctions such a law in times of peace forfeits its claimed to be called a civilized Government."In Delhi-Muslims proposal in 1927, Quid-e-Azam withdrew the right of a separate electorate and gave an indication to co-operate with the Congress but it could not be fulfilled. 
  4. He rejected the Nehru report in 1928and presented his fourteen points in 1929 which determined the goals of the Muslims.
  5. He participated in the Round Table Conference (1930-31) and maintained the National identity of the Muslims.
  6. He injected a new life into the dead body of Muslim-League in 1935-36and guided the freedom movement.
  7. In 1937 Congress, on account of its majority, formed ministries in 7 out of 11 provinces and tried to inflict injuries to the Muslims socially and politically. Quid-e-Azam used his political foresight and faced these conspiracies gallantly. At last, Congress resigned from ministries. Therefore, on 22nd December 1939, Jinnah put out an appeal, calling for India Muslims, to observe the day as a "Day of Deliverance" and thanksgiving as marks of relief. 
  8. In October 1937, Quid-e-Azam was unanimously accepted as a leader in the Muslim League Session at Lucknow. After it, Quid-e-Azam toured the length and breadth of the country on the emergency basis.
  9. In his address in Minto Park (Now Iqbal Park), in the session of Muslim League, he explained the Two-Nation Theory that became the basis of Pakistan.
  10. From 1940 to 1945, on one side he made many efforts for the reconciliation between the Government and political parties, and on the other side, between the Muslim League and the Congress. Among them, Cripps Mission, Jinnah-Gandhi talks and Shimla Conference are worth mentioning.
  11. It was the fruit of his efforts that the Muslim League met with success in 1945-46 Elections. He made all the conspiracies of the Hindus and British unsuccessful. At last, Lord Mountbatten presented 3rd June, 1947Plan promising to establish Pakistan and Pakistan came into being on 14th August 1947.
