History of Independence day
The countries of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh were once combined and called The Sub-Continent collectively. The Muslim majority region of the sub-continent fought for their independence based on the Two Nation Theory.
The Two Nation Theory explained the differences between the Hindus and Muslims. It further explained how both religions living together as one nation were impossible. Therefore, Pakistan emerged as an independent country on 14th August 1947, breaking away from British authority.

Sixty million of the ninety-five million Muslims on the Indian subcontinent became Pakistani citizens at the time of its creation. Subsequently, thirty-five million Muslims remained inside India, making it the largest Muslim minority in a non-Muslim state.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Founding Father of Pakistan, was also the first Governer General of the developing country. Liaquat Ali Khan was chosen to serve as its first Prime Minister.
