On this day, 25 March 1969, Pakistan’s dictator Ayub Khan resigned, following mass protests against his regime which began in October. Initially the government violently repressed student protests, but that triggered increased opposition. In the countryside, peasants killed landowners and police, while in the cities industrial workers held gheraos – mass pickets encircling factories. The following year the first elections in Pakistan’s history took place.
