'''Independence Day''' ({{lang-ur|{{Script/Nastaliq|یوم آزادی}}}}; ''Yāum-e-Āzādi'') is a holiday in Pakistan. It has been celebrated every year on 14 August since 14 August 1948. On that date, [[British India]] became an [[independent]] country, the [[Dominion of Pakistan]]. (The Dominion of Pakistan became today's [[Islamic Republic of Pakistan]] in 1956, on [[Republic Day (Pakistan)|Republic Day]].) It commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared a [[sovereign]] state following the end of the [[British Raj]] in 1947. Pakistan came into existence as a result of the [[Pakistan Movement]], which aimed for the creation of an independent [[Muslim]] state in the north-western regions of [[British India]] via [[Partition of India|partition]].<ref name="Shehabuddin2008">{{cite book| last1 = Shehabuddin| first1 = Elora| title = Reshaping the Holy: Democracy, Development, and Muslim Women in Bangladesh| date = 2008| publisher = [[Columbia University Press]]| language = en| isbn = 978-0-231-14156-7| page = 55| quote = Ostensibly a homeland for all Indian Muslims, Pakistan was hewed out of the Muslim-majority regions of British India--Sind, Baluchistan, the Northwst Frontier Province, and West Punjab in the northwest and East Bengal in the east. }}</ref><ref name="Heo2007">{{cite book| author = Uk Heo| title = Civil Wars of the World: Major Conflicts Since World War II| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=CtrhzQEACAAJ&pg=PA591| year = 2007| publisher = ABC-CLIO| isbn = 978-1-85109-919-1| pages = 591– }}</ref> The movement was led by the [[All-India Muslim League]] under the leadership of [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]]. The event was brought forth by the [[Indian Independence Act 1947]] under which the British Raj gave independence to the [[Dominion of Pakistan]] which comprised [[West Pakistan]] (present-day Pakistan) and [[East Pakistan]] (now [[Bangladesh]]). In the [[Islamic calendar]], the day of independence coincided with Ramadan 27, the eve of which, being [[Laylat al-Qadr]], is regarded as sacred by Muslims.
