On This Day January 28

Choudhry Rahmat Ali published a pamphlet entitled Now or Never; Are We to Live or Perish Forever? on January 28, 1933 while a student at Cambridge University's Emmanuel College. In it he called for the creation of a Muslim state in northwest India that the young student termed "Pakstan" (without the letter "i"). “Pak” means spiritually pure in Urdu and “Stan” means land. The name was adopted by the Indian Muslims for their Pakistan Movement seeking independence. The picture below shows Chaudhry Rehmat Ali as a Cambridge University student.
