Cam Diary

A Cambridge University student, Rahmat Ali, coined the name "Pakistan" and launched a movement for its realisation on January 28, 1933. His demand for Pakistan -- the Pakistan Declaration titled "Now or Never" -- led to the Lahore (Pakistan) Resolution seven years later, and to the "creation" of Pakistan on August 14, 1947.
