who used the word pakistan for the first time
Pakistan Declaration The author of this famous pamphlet was Chaudhary Rahmat Ali (16 November 1897 â€“ 3 February 1951), a Muslim nationalist from Punjab, who was one of the earliest proponents of the creation of the state of Pakistan. He is credited with creating the name "Pakistan" for a separate Muslim homeland from Presidencies and provinces of British India. He propagated the Scheme of Pakistan with a missionary zeal since its inception in 1933.[18] He also later founded the Pakistan National Movement[19] to propagate his ideas. Being a political thinker and an idealist, wanted more than for accepting a smaller Pakistan in 1947[20] and save every Indian Muslim from the so-called "Hindu domination".[21]
Iran–Pakistan relations After Pakistan gained its independence in August 1947, Iran was the first country to recognize its sovereign status.[1] Pakistan's relations with Iran grew strained at times due to sectarian tensions, as Pakistani Shias claimed that they were being discriminated against under the Pakistani government's Islamisation programme.[2]
