PAKISTAN

STUDENT ID: 13324

INTRODUCTION:
Pakistan came into being on 14 August 1947, as a result of a long struggle and priceless
sacrifices of the Muslims of Subcontinent. Reason behind all this work was not only the
acquisition of a piece of land but it was something much bigger than that. As per Quaid e Azam,
“We did not demand Pakistan to acquire a piece of land but we wanted a homeland where we
could introduce Islamic principles.”
Pakistan has emerged as one of history’s altitudes commanding a vast field of vision stretching
back and forward. The victor could reconcile as little to their existence as could they to the
change order.
Behind the creation of this country, there had been concrete Ideology. It acclaimed for the certain
values, norms, objectives, goals, institutions and structure. Ideology of Pakistan portrayed
consistent program, line of action and provided dynamism and inspiration for putting these into
executive. It bore potentialities to meet the needs of the changing circumstances and capability of
adaption and adjustment.
The Muslims of India had scarified their wealth honor & life to make a Pakistan reality. Struggle
for attainment of Pakistan started very after the war of independence 1857.

BACKGROUND:
Up until the mid-1940s, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, and others had
been coexisting peacefully for at least a couple centuries or more in regions across South Asia.
“Before Partition, we didn’t identify each other by religion,” says Hidayatullah Khoso from
Sindh province, alluding to a more cosmopolitan make up of pre-Partition populations. Religion
it seems was largely “practiced at home,” as many witnesses tell us, save for the big festivals like
Diwali, Eid, and Christmas, which were more universally celebrated. For a vast majority of the
people, religion was not a means for identifying one another.
But things began to change around 1945. As World War II wound down and the British
departure from its Indian territories became apparent, different political groups of ideological
nationhood’s such as a Muslim-majority Pakistan, a Sikh Khalistan, a secular vs. Hindu India,
among other ideas were gaining momentum. These ideas entered local politics. Isolated
shootings, stabbings, and massacres based on religion began making the news, spreading fear,
distrust, and anger. As news of British departure and the formation of India and Pakistan spread,
the violence had spread beyond fringe groups and gangsters to groups of young men across
villages and towns. On 14 August 1947 (27th of Ramadan in 1366 of the Islamic
Calendar) Pakistan gained independence. India gained independence the following day.
The aims and objectives of the creation of Pakistan are necessary to know. They provide deep
insight into the ideology on which Pakistan was established and the historical evolution of the
concept of the “Two Nation” theory. With the occupation of the Indo-Pak subcontinent by the
British in the 18th century, Muslims of the region, in contrast to their historical glory, became
subservient to their colonizers. While Hindus accepted the western educational system and
pursued high ranks in the government machinery. It was Sir Syed Ahmed Khan’s untiring efforts
that we saw a more inclusive Muslim society. Muslim identity and culture were at stake, thanks
to the Hindu majority’s persecution and atrocities. Muslims wanted their own educational,
democratic, economical, and social setup; they pushed the colonizers to grant them a separate
geographical area for complete autonomy. Persistent efforts, strong character of Quaid e Azam in
addition to other leaders, combined with other factors like the Second World War in 1945,
prompted the British to decolonize the Indo-Pak subcontinent; a boundary was drawn and
Muslims of the region were given a separate homeland in 1947.

SUBJECT LINK WITH SELECTED TOPIC:

Setting up of a Free Islamic Society:
The main objective of the creation of Pakistan was to establish a free Islamic Society having its
own identity and government. To practice its own social principles and religion and inviting the
Muslims of the world, particularly and others generally to adopt the Islamic way of life.
Protection from Communal Riots:
The communal Riots on every other day made it clear that the Hindus could take over the politics
after the departure of The British. The Hindu organizations had again and again asserted that
Hindu Raj would be imposed on India after the independence. So to get rid of these atrocities the
Muslims demanded their separate state.
Social & Political Development of Muslims:
After the war of Independence 1857, the social environment was totally changed. The Muslims
were scared of the caste system of Hindus and other discriminations. They could enjoy neither
political nor social liberties; therefore, they preferred to have a separate homeland in which they
could live according to the teachings of Islam.
Protection of Muslim Language:
The Hindus did the best to replace Urdu by Hindi. But they did not succeed during British
period. In 1867 the Hindus of Banaras presented a request to their government regarding the
replacement of Urdu with Hindi and its Persian script with that of Devnagri script. Sir Syed
Ahmed Khan at that demanded that when even the language of a nation is not safe at the hands
of other nations in a region, it would be unwise to continue living with them. So Sir Syed, who
was in fact a great advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity prior to that incident, started focusing on the
cause of Muslims alone. His Scientific Society Gazette presented articles on the importance of
Urdu. Similarly, some Muslim newspapers like Noor-ul-Absar and Banaras Gazette also took the
responsibility to safeguard their language at that time.
Protection of Two Nation Theory:
The Muslims claimed separate nationhood for themselves and they were determined to maintain
a separate entity for all times to come. Mohammad Ali Jinnah propounded the two-nation theory
and sowed the seed of partition of the country.
To get rid of the repeated social humiliation:
Competitive examinations for British administrative jobs were for Hindus rather than Muslims.
Tablighi and shuddhi movements, all this went a long way to divide us. During shuddhi
movement Muslims were forced to change their religion. Muslims were badly treated
inhumanely. Muslim student were forced to read about Hinduism, to apply red mark on fore head
(Tilaq). Muslim students were forced to recite their national anthem (which had verses against
Muslims).
To emerge as an economically sound Muslim country:
In spite of limited economically stable & educated social circles of Muslims in the subcontinent
hither to not any appreciable economic development of Muslims, in other words the “sparrow of
gold” needed the stabilization of the area.

RECOMMENDATION:
There have been major mistakes in policy starting from the very beginning with the formation of
the country with two wings separated by 1600 miles of Indian Territory and incompatible
linguistic and cultural differences. The blighted policy choices continued with an early adoption
of socialism as the political economic goal for Pakistan.
Pakistan is not a country with an army; Pakistan is an army with a country.
In addition to the great ethnic diversity of Pakistan there is the major political problem that most
of the ethnic groups within Pakistan are fractions of those ethnic groups internationally. That is
to say the Pushtans are divided between Pakistan and Afghanistan; the Balochis are divided
between Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan and the Punjabis are divided between Pakistan and India.
