The people who made the movement feared they would lose their liberty when the English left.
They therefore wanted to create a separate state.
This struggle was organised by the All India Muslim League party and resulted in the partition of the British Empire in India.
The movement was led by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Other important leaders were Nawab   Muhammad Ismail Khan, Raja Amir Ahmed Khan of Mahmudabad, Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan, Fatimah Jinnah, Amjadi Bano Begum, Sir Abdullah Haroon, Khawaja Nazimuddin, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, Sardar Shaukat Hayat Khan, Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman, A.K. Fazlul Huq, Aurangzeb Khan, Qazi Muhammad Isa and Abdur Rab Nishtar
History of the movement
The first person who had the idea of a separate state was not Allama Iqbal as is reckoned generally.
He only forwarded the theory onwards in his speech in 1930.
It was a prevailing idea that has its origins in United Provinces of Indian.
People like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and others had thought about a separate state there much earlier.
From 1901 onwards, many other Muslim scholars had also been proposing the idea of a separate Muslim state within the subcontinent.
Choudhary Rahmat Ali later proposed  the name Pakistan in his Pakistan Declaration in 1933.
People like Muhammad Ali Jinnah maintained their belief in religious unity.
Religious hostilities between Hindus and Muslims gave the movement a stronger backing.
In 1940 during its meeting in Lahore, the Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution (also known as Pakistan Resolution) that asked for an independent state of Pakistan.
Soon after World War II, the United Kingdom became convinced that they would not be able to keep their colonies in South Asia, as the British Empire suffered very badly from the war.
By 1947, British India was divided into two countries, a Muslim majority Pakistan and a Hindu majority India.
Later on Bangladesh split from Pakistan in 1971.

The Lahore Resolution (Urdu=Qarardad-e-Lahore قرارداد لاھور), commonly known as the Pakistan Resolution (Urdu=قرارداد پاکستان Qarardad-e-Pakistan) was a political resolution, or statement drafted between 22nd to 24th March 1940, by the 25-member Working Committee of the All-India Muslim League, and then formally adopted by the Muslim League membership at its general session on 23 March 1940, held at Lahore.
This resolution asked for greater Muslim autonomy of Muslim majority states such as Punjab Bengal Sindh, NWFP within British India.
However, later on most people thought of this as a call for a separate Muslim state, Pakistan.
The resolution was presented at Minto Park (now renamed 'Iqbal Park'), in Lahore, by Maulvi A.K. Fazlul Huq on the instructions of the Working Committee.

Amritsar Tahsil was an administrative subdivision of the Lahore Division in British Punjab of British India.
The tahsil had an area of 545 square miles.
To the west was Lahore situated on the Ravi River and east was the Beas River, which divided it from the State of Kapurthala.
The area contained fertile land irrigated by the Bari Doab Canal.
The city of Amritsar city is located in this area.
The population of the tahsil in 1901 was 488,383, compared with 462,734 in 1891.
The city of Amritsar (population, 162,429 in 1901) was the headquarters.
It also contained the towns of Majitha (6,403) and Jandiala Guru (7,750); and 373 villages.
Punjab was a province of British India, it was one of the last areas of the Indian subcontinent to fall under British rule.
With the end of British rule in 1947 the province was split between India and Pakistan.
The area that made up British Punjab streched from Himachal Pradesh in the east to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the west, which itself was separated in 1909; has today been split into the following areas:
Punjab Province, Pakistan
Punjab State, India
Haryana State, India
Himachal Pradesh State, India
Delhi State, India (after the Revolt of 1857)
Chandigarh, former part of Punjab
Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan
In 1947, the province of Punjab was divided between the new republics of India and Pakistan.
The mostly Muslim western part of the province became Pakistan's Punjab Province; the mostly Sikh and Hindu eastern part became India's Punjab state in 1966.
Many Hindus and Sikhs lived in the west, and many Muslims lived in the east, and so the partition saw many people displaced and much intercommunal violence.
Lahore and Amritsar were at the center of the problem, the British were not sure where to place them - make them part of India or Pakistan.
The British decided to hand both cities to India, but because of a lack of control and regulation for the border, Amritsar became part of India while Lahore became part of Pakistan.
Areas in west Punjab such as Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Gujrat, had a large Sikh population and many of the residents were attacked or killed by radical Muslims.
On the other side in East Punjab cities such as Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Gurdaspur had a majority Muslim population in which many of them were wiped out by Sikh guerrillas who launched an all out war against the Muslims.

Saugor was the seat of a Maratha governor, and the northern part of the territory was given to the British by the Maratha Peshwa, the southern part, which included Jabalpur and the upper Narmada River valley, was ceded by the Bhonsle Maharaja of Nagpur.
The Saugor and Nerbudda Territories were attached to the North-Western Provinces, which included the British Dominions in the southern part of present-day Uttar Pradesh state.
In 1861 the Saugor and Nerbudda Territories were combined with Nagpur Province, which the British had taken over in 1853, to form the Central Provinces.

The Governor-General of India was the head of the British administration in British India.
He was known as the Viceroy because he was the representative of the monarch, who for many years was Queen Victoria.
The position was created in 1773, with the title of "Governor-General of the Presidency of Fort William".

After the Indian Rebellion of 1857 the East India Company was abolished and the lands it had overned in the Indian sub-continent ware put under the direct control of the government of Britain.
The Governor-General headed the central Government of India in Calcutta and was responsible to the imperial government in London.
The rest of the sub-continent was administered by a large number of princely rulers under the supreme authority of Britain.
The Governor-General was commonly known as the Viceroy of India because of his secondary role as Britain's representative to these nominally independent princely states.
Although India and Pakistan became independent in 1947, Governors-General stayed on to represent the Monarch of Great Britain until each rewrote their laws to become republics.
When Pakistan and India become independent in 1947 King George who had been before then been the Emperor of India became the King of both countries.
