Abstract

The State of Pakistan was created on 14 Aug. 1947 to provide Indian Muslims with their own state. Pakistan’s status was that of a Dominion within the Commonwealth; it became a republic in 1956 and left the Commonwealth in 1972. Efforts to rejoin were opposed by India until 1989 when Pakistan once more became a full member of the Commonwealth.
