Mir is a Kashmiri tribe in India and Pakistan. The word ''Mir'' is used as a respect for a person who is an in-charge, Head or Big-Landlord of a particular tribe, in India & Pakistan. So people use this word for respect when they call some one as ''Mir''. In urdu (language) ''Sahib'' means exactly the same as the word ''Mr'' in English. When you say ''Mr & Mrs'' in English then in Urdu language you say ''Sahib & sahiba''. Sahib for male and sahiba for female. So sahib is also a word used for respect in urdu. When ''Mir'' & ''sahib'' are used together that means you are calling that person with very respectfully.

This is why ''Mir Sahib'' is used also for a religious person to show great respect.

When was Muhammad Ali Jinnah given the title of 'Quaid e azam'?

Muhammad Ali Jinnah was conferred the title of 'Quaid-e-Azam,' meaning 'Great Leader,' in 1940 by the All-India Muslim League. This title recognized his pivotal role in advocating for the rights of Muslims in British India and his leadership in the movement for Pakistan's creation. The title became widely associated with him, especially as Pakistan was established in 1947. Jinnah is revered in Pakistan as the founding father of the nation.


What was the role of Muslim League in the National Movement and its impact on the future course of Pakistan and India?

The Muslim League was founded in 1906 to safeguard the rights of Indian Muslims. At first the league was encouraged by the British and was generally favourable to their rule, but the organization adopted self-government for India as its goal in 1913. For several decades the league and its leaders, notably Mohammed Ali Jinnah , called for Hindu-Muslim unity in a united and independent India. It was not until 1940 that the league called for the formation of a Muslim state that would be separate from the projected independent nation of India. The league wanted a separate nation for India's Muslims because it feared that an independent India would be dominated by Hindus. Jinnah and the Muslim League led the struggle for the partition of British India into separate Hindu and Muslim states, and after the formation of Pakistan in 1947 the league became Pakistan's dominant political party. In that year it was renamed the All Pakistan Muslim League. But the league functioned less effectively as a modern political party in Pakistan than it had as a mass-based pressure group in British India, and hence it gradually declined in popularity and cohesion. In the elections of 1954 the Muslim League lost power in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), and the party lost power in West Pakistan (now Pakistan) soon afterward. By the late 1960s the party had split into various factions, and by the 1970s it had disappeared altogether.
