"Muslim interests and to oppose Congress and
growing Indian nationalism in return the British Raj
would decide to grant local self-rule.

On 29 December 1930, philosopher Sir
Muhammad Iqbal called for an autonomous
new state in "northwestern India for Indian
Muslims".
The League rose to popularity in the late
1930s. Muhammad Ali Jinnah supported
the Two Nation Theory and led the League to
adopt the Lahore Resolution of 1940,
demanding the formation of independent
states in the East and the West of British India.
Eventually, a successful movement led by
Jinnah gained independence from the British,
on 14 August 1947.

Pakistani music scene with its characteristic fast pace,
steady beat, and electronic instruments, continuing an
evolutionary change over time from classical, to semi-
classical, to popular forms. Pop's swift rise to
predominance can be attributed to the wide appeal of an

change began several decades ago, when pop-oriented
film music utilizing Western instruments opened the
floodgates of change.
