The movement for Pakistan's Independence started after the revolutions in the subcontinent, caused by the disturbances and disagreements from the fights between Hindu and Muslims. This gave an opportunity for Muslims to withdraw from the subcontinent. After several disagreements between the Muslims, Hindus and the British empire about the matter of who should have the power in Subcontinent, the Muslim League (previously known as All India Muslim League), led by Mohammad Ali Jinnah, finally decided to establish a separate state for Muslims and declared Pakistan as an independent state, on August 14, 1947.

Pakistan was made an independent country as a result of Pakistan Movement or Tehrik-e-Pakistan based on border lines created by the British during the end of their rule in India.

The day is a national holiday in Pakistan. It is traditional for Pakistanis to celebrate all over the country with flag raising ceremonies, tributes to the national heroes and fireworks taking place in the capital, Islamabad.
