The Lahore Resolution: A 🧵

#OTD in 1940, the All-India Muslim League adopted the Lahore Resolution—which later came to be known as the Pakistan Resolution—during its three-day general session, which was held in #Lahore from March 22–24.

A. K. Fazlul Huq, the Prime Minister of #Bengal, presented the resolution, which was authored and compiled by Muhammad Zafarullah Khan and served as a formal statement of the party's vision for the future of Muslim #India.

2/10
The document famously stated that "...the areas in which the Muslims are numerically in a majority as in the North Western and Eastern Zones of India should be grouped to constitute ‘independent states’ in which the constituent units should be autonomous and sovereign."

“Bitterly cold day as I cross No Man's Land. Off to pay my respects at the Martyrs' Well in Ajnala where the bodies of native sepoys (who rebelled at the Mianmir Cantt in Lahore in 1857 & who were summarily executed at Ajnala) were 1/n

One of the many gifts I received on my watershed visit to my ancestral home of #Lahore is the signature of my great great grandfather. I spent most of my life thinking all was lost of the legacy of Sir Ganga Ram, and here it’s been preserved for a century by the people of Lahore.
Most people whose ancestors suffered under Partition do not receive such an intact story and legacy. Yet this trip, @NCAPakistan searched thousands of #Lahore archives by hand to find the records of his great public works to share with me. I feel truly fortunate beyond words.
As we put the puzzle pieces of his life together, one thing is clear. Sir Ganga Ram believed any modern advance had to include everyone and make the people more self reliant, or it was not progress. This has deep implications for social, environmental, and economic policy.

Since a few days have passed and thing have "relatively" calmed down, I want to comment on the optics of bringing out APCs in #Lahore Cantt. You all have seen the images go viral on this platform, and some were rightly outraged. 1/n
However, this isn't the first time #PakistanArmy brought out APCs against protesting public. Many years ago, there was a dispute between farmers and the Army over some land in #Okara. That's when this image was shot. For me, personally, it became of the most defining images 2/n

لاھور (پاکستان) اور گرو ارجن دیو کا تعلق (1606)
بادشاہی مسجد (لاھور) سےتھوڑا آگےخوبصورت سکھ گوردوارہ جسےدیکھ کر لوگ تعریف تو کرتےہیں مگرشاید وہ اس کے پس منظر سےکم ہی واقف ھوں گے۔
لاھورقلعہ وہی جگہ ھےجہاں پنج شاہی (یعنی پانچویں گرو) ارجن دیو
کوشہنشاہ جہانگیرکے حکم پر تشدد سےشہید کیاگیاتھا۔ انہی کی یاد میں یہ "گوردوارہ ڈیرہ صاحب" تعمیر کیاگیا۔
پنج شاہی ارجن دیو صاحب سکھ مت کے پہلےشہید کہلاتے ہیں۔
سکھوں کی پنج شاہی ارجن دیو اور لاھور (پنجاب) کا آپس میں تعلق درحقیقت ایک تاریخی سانحہ ھے جو مغلوں کے جبر کا بھی عکاس ھے اور
زوال کا بھی۔
سکھوں کے کامیاب ترین گرو ارجن دیو، مقدس "آدی گرنتھ" کے پہلے منظم ایڈیشن کے بانی، پر مغل بادشاہ جہانگیرکے باغی شہزادےخسرو کی سپورٹ کا الزام تھا ۔
جہانگیر نے نہ صرف گرو ارجن دیو کو تبدیلی مذہب پر مجبور کیا بلکہ اپنے ہی بیٹے کو اندھا کروادیا اور قید بھی کر لیا۔ جتنے بھی

نونہال سنگھ حویلی (بھاٹی گیٹ، لاھور)
گزرے وقت کی جاہ وحشمت والی حویلی، پھرعہد برطانیہ کاوکٹوریہ سکول اور آج کا گرلز ہائر سکینڈری سکول
مہاراجہ رنجیت کے پوتےکنور نونہال سنگھ (1821-1840) کی یادگار
بلاشبہ اپنے باپ کھڑک سنگھ کیطرح نونہال
نالائق نہ تھا۔
نونہال سنگھ نے بھاٹی گیٹ (لاھور) کے اندر یہ حویلی 1830 میں عہد رنجیت میں ہی تعمیر کروائی۔
یہ بات کسی سے ڈھکی چھپی نہیں کہ نونہال سنگھ رنجیت سنگھ کی وفات کے بعد 1839سے 1840 تک ایک Defecto حکمران رہا۔
نونہال سنگھ زیادہ تر ایسا حکمران تھا جسکےدوسرے شاہی درباروں سےاچھے
تعلقات رہے۔
اس کی یہ حویلی سکھ عہد کے طرزِ تعمیر کا بہترین شاہکار ھے۔
یہ حویلی برطانوی راج میں ایک طویل عرصہ "Victoria Girls School" کیلئے مختص رہی۔ داخلی دروازے کے دونوں طرف بڑے سائز کے محافظوں کی پینٹنگز جن پر آج پینٹ کر دیا گیا ھے۔
