IDEOLOGY OF PAKISTAN
Definition of Ideology:
An ideology is a set of beliefs or principles that shape and guide political, economic, or social
actions and decisions. It can also refer to a system of ideas that forms the basis of a particular
political or social movement or organization. Ideologies can be based on a wide range of
factors, such as religion, culture, history, or economic conditions, and they can vary greatly in
their scope, goals, and methods. Some examples of ideologies include liberalism, socialism,
conservatism, and fascism.
Ideology of Pakistan:
Pakistan, a country in South Asia, was founded on the basis of a distinct ideology that shaped
its political and social identity. The ideology of Pakistan is rooted in the two-nation theory,
which holds that Hindus and Muslims are two distinct nations with separate religious,
cultural, and political identities. This theory was the driving force behind the demand for the
creation of Pakistan as a separate homeland for Muslims in the British Indian subcontinent. In
this article, we will explore the history and evolution of the ideology of Pakistan and its
impact on the country's politics, society, and culture.
The Two-Nation Theory
The two-nation theory is the foundation of Pakistan's ideology. It was first proposed by Sir
Syed Ahmed Khan, a Muslim leader and educationist, in the 19th century. He argued that
Hindus and Muslims were two distinct nations with separate religious, cultural, and political
identities. According to the theory, Hindus and Muslims had different ways of life, customs,
and traditions, and they could not live together under a single government.
The theory gained popularity among Muslim leaders and scholars, particularly in the wake of
the failure of the Indian National Congress, a Hindu-dominated political organization, to
protect the rights and interests of Muslims. In 1940, the Muslim League, a political party
representing Muslim interests, passed the Lahore Resolution, which called for the creation of
a separate Muslim state in the British Indian subcontinent. The resolution was the first
official demand for the creation of Pakistan.
The Ideology of Pakistan
The ideology of Pakistan is based on the principles of Islam, nationalism, and democracy.
The country's founders believed that Islam was the unifying force among Muslims and the
cornerstone of their identity. They also believed in the idea of a separate Muslim nation that
would be based on the principles of democracy, equality, and justice.
Islam as the Ideology
Islam is the foundation of Pakistan's ideology. The country's founders believed that Islam was
not just a religion but also a way of life that provided a comprehensive code of conduct for
individuals, society, and the state. They also believed that Islam was the only unifying force
among Muslims and the cornerstone of their identity.
Nationalism as the Ideology
Nationalism is another important aspect of Pakistan's ideology. The country's founders
believed in the idea of a separate Muslim nation that would be based on the principles of
democracy, equality, and justice. They also believed that the creation of Pakistan would

provide Muslims with an opportunity to live in a society where they would be free to practice
their religion, culture, and traditions.
Democracy as the Ideology
Democracy is the third and final aspect of Pakistan's ideology. The country's founders
believed in the principles of democracy, equality, and justice. They believed that the people
of Pakistan should have the right to participate in the decision-making process and that the
government should be accountable to the people.
Impact of Ideology on Pakistan
The ideology of Pakistan has had a significant impact on the country's politics, society, and
culture. On the one hand, it has helped to shape Pakistan's identity as a Muslim nation and
has provided a sense of unity among its people. On the other hand, it has also been a source
of tension and conflict, particularly in relation to the rights of religious minorities and the role
of religion in the state.
In conclusion, the ideology of Pakistan is based on the principles of Islam, nationalism, and
democracy. It was the driving force behind the demand for the creation of Pakistan as a
separate homeland for Muslims in the British Indian subcontinent. The ideology has had a
significant impact on the country's politics, society, and culture.

TWO NATION THEORY
Two Nation Theory is a political ideology that postulates that Hindus and Muslims are two
separate nations in British India, and therefore they should be granted separate independent
states. This theory was the basis for the demand for the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim-
majority state.
Background:
The Two Nation Theory emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the growing
communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims in British India. The idea was first
proposed by Muslim scholars and politicians, including Syed Ahmed Khan, who argued that
Hindus and Muslims were distinct nations with separate cultures, religions, and histories, and
that they could not coexist in a single country.
According To Islamic Scholars:
The Two Nation Theory was supported by a number of Muslim scholars, including Maulana
Abul Kalam Azad, Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Usmani, and Allama Iqbal. Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad, a prominent Muslim leader and scholar, argued that Hindus and Muslims were
two distinct nations and that a separate Muslim state was necessary to protect the rights and
interests of Indian Muslims.
Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Usmani, a leading Islamic scholar, supported the idea of a separate
Muslim state on the grounds that it would be the only way to ensure the survival of Islamic
culture and civilization in India.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan:
The Two Nation Theory, as proposed by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, was a political ideology that
postulated that Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations in British India, and therefore
they should be granted separate independent states. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who was a
Muslim educationist, lawyer, and politician, argued that Hindus and Muslims were distinct
nations with separate cultures, religions, and histories, and that they could not coexist in a
single country.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan believed that the growing communal tensions between Hindus and
Muslims in British India were due to the fact that the two communities had different cultural
and religious traditions and could not be integrated into a single political entity. He argued
that the Hindus and Muslims had different aspirations and that they needed separate political
representation in order to protect their rights and interests.
Sir Syed Ahmad Khan also believed that the Muslims of British India were a separate nation
due to the fact that they had a distinct culture and history, and that their rights were not
protected by the British government. He argued that the Muslims needed a separate state to
protect their religious, cultural, and economic rights, and that the creation of Pakistan would
be the only solution to the communal problem in India.
Allama Iqbal:
Allama Iqbal, a philosopher and poet, was a major proponent of the Two Nation Theory in
British India. He argued that Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations with distinct
cultures, religions, and histories, and that they could not coexist in a single country. He

proposed the idea of a separate Muslim state, which he believed would be the only solution to
the communal problem in India.
In his famous 1930 Allahabad address, Iqbal outlined his vision of a separate Muslim state.
He argued that Muslims needed a separate state to protect their religious, cultural, and
economic rights, and that the creation of Pakistan would be the only solution to the
communal problem in India. He believed that the Muslims of India, being a distinct nation
with their own culture, religion and civilization, needed a separate homeland to preserve and
protect their identity.
Iqbal also argued that the Muslims of India were not only a religious minority, but also a
nation with their own distinct culture and civilization. He believed that Hindus and Muslims
could not coexist in a united India and that a separate Muslim state was necessary to protect
the rights and interests of Indian Muslims. He also believed that Pakistan would be a Muslim-
majority state where the Muslims could live in accordance with their religion, culture, and
traditions.
Iqbal's ideas and vision played a major role in the demand for the creation of Pakistan as a
separate Muslim state. His ideas were supported by many Muslim scholars, politicians, and
leaders, and ultimately led to the partition of British India in 1947 and the creation of
Pakistan and India as separate independent states.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah:

The Two Nation Theory, as propounded by Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is the idea
that Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations in British India, and therefore they should
be granted separate independent states. Jinnah, the leader of the All India Muslim League,
argued that Hindus and Muslims were two distinct nations with separate cultures, religions,
and histories, and that they could not coexist in a single country.
In his speeches and writings, Jinnah emphasized that the Hindu and Muslim communities in
British India had distinct identities and aspirations, and that they had separate political,
economic, and cultural interests. He argued that Hindus and Muslims had different ways of
life, different political systems, and different economic systems, and that these differences
were irreconcilable.
Jinnah also argued that the Muslim minority in British India was facing discrimination and
marginalization at the hands of the Hindu majority, and that a separate Muslim state was
necessary to protect the rights and interests of Indian Muslims. He believed that a separate
Muslim state would guarantee the survival of Islamic culture and civilization in India, and
that it would provide a secure and stable environment for the Muslim community.
Jinnah's Two Nation Theory was the basis for the demand for the creation of Pakistan as a
Muslim-majority state. He argued that the creation of Pakistan would provide a solution to
the communal problem in India, and that it would ensure the rights and interests of Indian
Muslims. He also emphasized that Pakistan would be a secular state, where all citizens,
regardless of their religion, would be treated as equal.
In conclusion, Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Two Nation Theory was a political
ideology that postulated that Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations in British India,

and therefore they should be granted separate independent states. He believed that Hindu and
Muslim communities had distinct identities, aspirations and separate political, economic and
cultural interests, and that these differences were irreconcilable which led him to advocate for
a separate Muslim state as a solution to the communal problem in British India.
Opposition:
The Two Nation Theory was opposed by many Hindu leaders and scholars, including
Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, who believed in a united and secular India. They
argued that the theory was divisive and would lead to the fragmentation of the country.
Conclusion:
The Two Nation Theory was a major factor in the demand for the creation of Pakistan as a
separate Muslim state. It was supported by a number of Muslim scholars, politicians, and
leaders, who argued that Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations and that a separate
Muslim state was necessary to protect the rights and interests of Indian Muslims. The theory,
however, was opposed by many Hindu leaders and scholars, who believed in a united and
secular India. Ultimately, the demand for Pakistan led to the partition of British India in 1947
and the creation of Pakistan and India as separate independent states.

THE BASIS OF THE CREATION OF PAKISTAN

The Two Nation Theory was the basis of the struggle for creation of Pakistan which held that
Hindus and Muslims are two separate Nations. They in spite of living together for centuries
could not forget their individual cultures and civilization. Al-Beruni recorded his ideas in
1001 A.D in his famous book "Kitab-ul-Hind" as:
"The Hindus society maintained this peculiar character over the centuries. The two
societies, Hindus and Muslims, like two streams have sometimes touched but never
merged, each following its separate course."
There are a few factors which split the inhabitants of the Sub Continent into two Nations. Let
us examine each of them separately.
1.Religious Differences
The Hindus and Muslims belong to different religions. Islam preaches Tawheed (oneness of
Allah) and believes in equality of man before law. Muslims are the believers of God, The
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) the Holy Book Quran and hold a cohesive approach towards life.
Hinduism,on the other hand is based on the concept of multiple Gods. Their society follows a
caste system and is divided into four classes and have a very narrow approach towards life.
2.Hindu Nationalism
A number of Hindu nationalist movements, which emerged from time to time in the Indian
history ,added fuel to the fire by playing up the tension and antagonism which already existed
between the two communities.
The Hindu nationalist leaders totally ignored the great contribution made by the Muslims in
the Indian society by way of promoting education and other social activities. Their writings
and ideas flared up the communal discord between Hindus and Muslims to further pollute the
political condition.
3.Cultural Differences
Muslim followed the Islamic culture while Hindus inherited a self build culture. The Hindus
burnt their dead bodies while Muslims burred them. Hindus considered the 'Mother cow' as a
sacred animal and worshiped it while Muslims slaughtered it. they performed 'sati' while
Muslims abhorred this tradition .The Hindus and Muslims did not intermarry nor they inter-
dine.
4.Social Differences
The two communities of the Sub Continent differ in their social life as well. The clothes, the
foods, the household utensils, the layout of homes, the words of salutation, the gestures and
every thing about them was different and immediately pointed to their distinctive origin.
5.Economics Differences
After 1857,the Muslim economic was crushed and all trade policies were framed in such a
way so as to determent the Muslim condition .They were thrown out of Government services
and the their estates and properties were confiscated, while the Hindus were provided with
ample opportunities to progress economically.

6.Educational Differences
The Hindus had advanced in the educational field because they quickly and readily took the
English education. While Muslims did not receive modern education which heavily affected
their economic conditions.
7.Political Differences
The political differences between the Hindus and Muslims have played an important role in
the development and evolution of Two Nation Theory.
(i) Hindi Urdu Controversy
In 1867, Hindus demanded that Urdu should be written in Hindi Script instead of Persian
script. This created another gap between Hindus and Muslims.
(ii) Congress Attitude
The Indian national Congress was founded in 1885.It claimed to represent all communities of
India but oppressed all Muslim ideas and supported the Hindus.
(iii) Partition of Bengal
In 1905,the partition of Bengal ensured a number of political benefits for the Muslims, but
the Hindus launched an agitation against the partition and partition was annulled in 1911.
8.Language
The Muslims and Hindus wrote and spoke two different languages .The language of the
former was Urdu and it was written in Arabic Script. On the other hand ,the Hindi language
was spoken by Hindus and it was written in Sanskrit. Urdu and Hindi language had the
difference in writing, thoughts of poetry, arts, painting and words of music. Even this small
difference lead to a stirring conflict between the two nations. Sir syed Ahmed Khan-The
Pioneer of Two Nation Theory Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the pioneer of two nation theory, used
the word 'two nation' for Hindus and Muslims after being convinced of the Hindus and
Congress hatred, hostility and prejudice for the Muslims.
The entire freedom movement revolved around the two nation theory which was introduced
by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. He considered all those lived in India as one nation and was a
great advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity. Speaking at the meeting of Indian Association he
said:
"I look to both Hindus and Muslims with the same eyes and consider them as my own eyes.
By the word 'Nation' I mean only Hindus and Muslims and nothing else, We, Hindus and
Muslims live together on the same soil under the same government. Our interests and
problems are common, and therefore, I consider the two factions as one nation."
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan did his best to make the Muslims realize their differences with the
Hindus with regard to religions, social and language national and international identity and
for this purpose he diverted attention of the Indian Muslims towards a new idea of "Two
Nation" or "Two entities."
After Hindi-Urdu controversy Sir Syed felt that it was not possible for Hindus and Muslims
to progress as a single nation. He said:
" I am convinced now that Hindus and Muslims could never become one nation as their
religion and way of life was quite distinct from each other."

CONCLUSION
The Muslims apprehended that they would lose their identity if they remained a part of Hindu
society. They also came to realize the above mentioned differences between them and the
Hindus and hence demanded separate electorate on the ground that they were different nation
from Hindus.
Hence it is right to say that this theory i.e two nation theory is the basis of the creation of
Pakistan because without this as a base, Pakistan would not come into being on 14th August,
1947,and we would not be breathing freely in this open air of Pakistan.

AIMS OF THE CREATION OF PAKISTAN
The creation of Pakistan in 1947 was a momentous event in the history of South Asia. It
marked the emergence of a new Muslim-majority nation, carved out of the Hindu-majority
regions of British India. The idea of Pakistan, which means "land of the pure" in Persian and
Urdu, was first proposed by a Muslim lawyer and philosopher, Allama Iqbal, in the 1930s.
However, it was the Muslim League, a political party led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, that took
up the cause and campaigned for the creation of an independent Muslim state in British India.
The demand for Pakistan, a separate Muslim-majority nation in the British Indian
subcontinent, was a major political movement in the 1940s. It was led by the Muslim League,
a political party headed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and resulted in the creation of Pakistan in
1947. The demand for Pakistan was driven by several factors, including religious, cultural,
economic, and political considerations.
Religious Factors
One of the main reasons why Muslims of the subcontinent were demanding Pakistan was
religious. Muslims in British India felt that they were being discriminated against and
marginalized by the Hindu-dominated Congress Party and the British colonial government.
They believed that their religion, culture, and traditions were not respected or protected in a
united India and that they would never be able to achieve equality and justice in a Hindu-
majority country.
Cultural Factors
Another reason why Muslims of the subcontinent were demanding Pakistan was cultural.
Muslims in British India had their own distinct culture, language, and heritage, which they
felt would be threatened and suppressed in a united India. They believed that a separate
Muslim state would provide them with the opportunity to preserve and promote their own
culture and traditions.
Economic Factors
Economic factors also played a role in the demand for Pakistan. Muslims in British India
were disproportionately poor and illiterate, and they believed that a separate Muslim state
would give them the opportunity to develop their own economy and improve their standard of
living.
Political Factors
Political factors were also a significant factor in the demand for Pakistan. Muslims in British
India felt that they were underrepresented and marginalized in the political system. They
believed that a separate Muslim state would provide them with the opportunity to establish a
government that would truly represent their interests and protect their rights.
Conclusion
The demand for Pakistan was driven by several factors, including religious, cultural,
economic, and political considerations. Muslims in British India felt that they were being
discriminated against and marginalized by the Hindu-dominated Congress Party and the
British colonial government. They believed that their religion, culture, and traditions were not
respected or protected in a united India and that they would never be able to achieve equality

and justice in a Hindu-majority country. They also felt that a separate Muslim state would
provide them with the opportunity to preserve and promote their own culture and traditions,
develop their own economy and improve their standard of living, and establish a government
that would truly represent their interests and protect their rights.

party led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, that took up the cause and campaigned for the creation
of an independent Muslim state in British India.
Protection of Muslims Rights and Interests
One of the main objectives of the creation of Pakistan was to protect the rights and interests
of Muslims. Muslims in British India felt that they were being discriminated against and
marginalized by the Hindu-dominated Congress Party and the British colonial government.
They believed that they would never be able to achieve equality and justice in a united India,
and that their only hope for survival was to create a separate Muslim state.
A separate Muslim state would provide an opportunity for Muslims to live according to their
own culture, religion, and traditions. It would also protect their economic and political rights.
Islamic Principles and Heritage
Another objective of the creation of Pakistan was to establish a system of government that
would be based on Islamic principles. Pakistan was created as a Muslim-majority state, and
its founders believed that the country should be guided by the principles of Islam. This
included the protection of Muslim culture, language, and heritage.
Economic Development
The creation of Pakistan also aimed to provide Muslims with the opportunity to develop their
own economy. Muslims in British India were disproportionately poor and illiterate, and they
believed that a separate Muslim state would give them the opportunity to develop their own
economy and political system. Pakistan's founders believed that an independent Muslim state
would provide an opportunity to strengthen the economy by focusing on the development of
industries, agriculture, and education.
National Security
Another objective of the creation of Pakistan was to create a strong and stable government
that would be able to defend the country against external threats and maintain internal
security. This included the establishment of a strong military and a well-trained police force.
The founders of Pakistan believed that an independent Muslim state was needed to protect the
country from external threats and to maintain internal security.

Conclusion
The creation of Pakistan in 1947 was a historic moment that changed the political landscape
of South Asia. The main objectives of Pakistan were to protect the rights and interests of
Muslims, to establish a system of government that would be based on Islamic principles, to
provide Muslims with the opportunity to develop their own economy, and to create a strong
and stable government that would be able to defend the country against external threats and
maintain internal security. These objectives were the guiding principles for the founding
fathers of Pakistan, and they continue to shape the country's policies and direction to this day.

ALLAMA MUHAMMAD IQBAL AND IDEOLOGY OF PAKISTAN

Allama Muhammad Iqbal, also known as Mufakkir-e-Pakistan (The Thinker of Pakistan),
was a philosopher, poet, and politician who played a crucial role in the creation of Pakistan.
He was a strong advocate of the idea of a separate Muslim state in British India, and his ideas
and writings were a major influence on the Muslim League and its leader, Muhammad Ali
Jinnah.
Early Life and Education
Allama Iqbal was born in Sialkot, British India, in 1877. He received his early education in
Sialkot and Lahore, and later went to study in England and Germany. He received a PhD in
Philosophy from the University of Munich in 1908.
Philosophical Ideas
Allama Iqbal's philosophical ideas were deeply influenced by the works of the Persian poet
and mystic, Rumi, and the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed in the
concept of khudi, which means self-awareness or self-realization. He believed that
individuals and nations must have a strong sense of self-awareness in order to achieve
greatness and progress.
Ideas on Muslim Nationalism
Allama Iqbal was a strong advocate of Muslim nationalism. He believed that Muslims in
British India were a separate nation and that they needed a separate homeland where they
could live according to their own culture, religion, and traditions. He was critical of the
Congress Party and the British colonial government, which he believed were oppressing
Muslims and denying them their rights.
In his famous presidential address to the Muslim League in 1930, Allama Iqbal proposed the
idea of a separate Muslim state in North-West British India. He said, "I would like to see the
Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind, and Balochistan amalgamated into a single state.
Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a

consolidated North-West Indian Muslim state appears to me to be the final destiny of the
Muslims, at least of North-West India."
Influence on the Muslim League and Pakistan Movement
Allama Iqbal's ideas on Muslim nationalism had a profound influence on the Muslim League
and the Pakistan Movement. His speeches and writings helped to mobilize Muslim opinion in
favor of the creation of a separate Muslim state.
After the death of Allama Iqbal in 1938, the Muslim League, under the leadership of
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, adopted his ideas and used them as the basis for their campaign for
the creation of Pakistan. Jinnah himself was deeply influenced by Allama Iqbal's ideas and
referred to him as "Mufakkir-e-Pakistan" (The Thinker of Pakistan).
Conclusion
Allama Muhammad Iqbal played a crucial role in the creation of Pakistan. His ideas on
Muslim nationalism and the concept of khudi were a major influence on the Muslim League
and its leader, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. His proposal for a separate Muslim state in North-
West British India, made in his famous presidential address to the Muslim League in 1930,
was the starting point for the demand for Pakistan. His ideas continue to shape the ideological
foundations of Pakistan today.

WHAT IS IMPACT OF PAKISTAN’S IDEOLOGY ON ISLAM
Pakistan, the world's second-largest Muslim-majority country, has a unique history and
political ideology that has shaped its relationship with Islam. The idea of Pakistan as a
Muslim homeland was first proposed by a Muslim philosopher, Allama Iqbal, in the 1930s
and later taken up by the Muslim League, a political party led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The
creation of Pakistan in 1947 was based on the idea of providing Muslims with a separate
homeland where they could live according to their own culture, religion, and traditions.
Ideology of Pakistan
The ideology of Pakistan is based on the Two-Nation Theory, which states that Hindus and
Muslims are two separate nations with different cultures, religions, and histories. The theory
argues that Muslims in British India were being discriminated against and marginalized by
the Hindu-dominated Congress Party and the British colonial government, and that their only
hope for survival was to create a separate Muslim state.
The Constitution of Pakistan defines the country as an Islamic Republic, and it states that the
"Objectives Resolution," passed by the Constituent Assembly in 1949, shall be a fundamental
part of the Constitution. The Resolution states that Pakistan shall be a federal democratic
state, and that the principles of democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance, and social justice as
enunciated by Islam shall be fully observed.
Impact on Islam
The creation of Pakistan as an Islamic Republic has had a significant impact on the practice
and interpretation of Islam in the country. One of the most notable impacts is the role of
Islamic law, or sharia, in the legal system. Pakistan's constitution states that no law shall be
enacted that is repugnant to the injunctions of Islam, and that all existing laws shall be
brought in conformity with the injunctions of Islam. This has led to the incorporation of
sharia into the legal system, particularly in the areas of family law and personal status.
The ideology of Pakistan has also led to the state promotion of a certain version of Islam,
often referred to as "Pakistan Islam." This version of Islam emphasizes the role of the state in
promoting and protecting Islamic values and institutions, and it stresses the importance of
nationalism and patriotic sentiments in the practice of Islam.
The emphasis on Islam as the basis of the nation's identity and the state's role in promoting it,
has also led to increased religious polarization and intolerance in the society. The state's
promotion of a particular version of Islam has been used to justify discrimination and
marginalization of religious minorities and to silence dissenting voices.
Conclusion
The ideology of Pakistan as an Islamic Republic has had a significant impact on the practice
and interpretation of Islam in the country. The incorporation of sharia into the legal system,
the state promotion of a certain version of Islam, and the emphasis on Islam as the basis of
the nation's identity have led to both positive and negative consequences. On one hand, it has
helped to protect and promote Islamic values and institutions, but on the other hand, it has
contributed to increased religious polarization and intolerance in the society.

Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani strongly opposed this movement and believed that it was a deviation
from true Islamic teachings.
Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani's teachings emphasized the importance of following the Qur'an and
Hadith, and adhering to the principles of the four Sunni schools of Islamic law. He also

spiritual guide or murshid.
Social Reforms
One of the most significant social reforms that Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani advocated for was

One of the main contributions of Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani to Tasawaf was his emphasis on
the importance of following the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the Quran. He
believed that many of the spiritual practices that had become popular among Sufis in his time
were not based on the teachings of the Prophet, and that they needed to be reformed in order

influence of Sufism and mysticism, which he believed had led to the deviation of many
Muslims from the true path of Islam.
Another important service provided by Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani was the promotion of
education and knowledge. He encouraged the study of Islamic sciences and the pursuit of
knowledge, which he believed was essential for the spiritual and intellectual development of

teachings played a crucial role in preserving the purity of Islam during a time of great change
and upheaval in India. His contributions have had a lasting impact on Islamic theology and
continue to be studied and revered to this day.
Reformation of Nobles
One of the main struggles that Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani faced in his efforts to reform the
nobles was their resistance to change. Many of the nobles were comfortable with their current
state of power and wealth, and saw no need to alter their ways. Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani
faced a great deal of opposition from these nobles, who saw him as a threat to their status and
power.
Another struggle that Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani faced was the lack of support from the wider
Muslim community. Many of the common people were also disillusioned with the nobility,
but they were hesitant to support Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani's efforts to reform them. This
made it difficult for him to gain traction in his efforts to change the status quo.

Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani emphasized was the importance of knowledge and education. He
believed that it was essential for Muslims to acquire knowledge of the Quran and Hadith in
order to understand and implement the teachings of Islam in their daily lives. He also stressed

upright character. He also stressed the importance of social justice and advocated for the
rights of the poor and marginalized.

Muslims. He believed that it was essential for Muslims to come together and work towards a
common goal in order to achieve success and progress. He encouraged the establishment of
madrasas and other educational institutions in order to promote knowledge and understanding
among Muslims.
Two Nation Theory
The Two Nation Theory, as proposed by Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani, suggests that Hindus and
Muslims are two distinct nations with different cultures, religions, and beliefs. He believed

that the Muslims of India were not just a minority but a separate nation with their own
identity and culture.
Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani argued that Muslims and Hindus were not capable of living together
in a harmonious society as they had different beliefs and values. He believed that Muslims
should have their own separate homeland where they could practice their religion freely and
live according to their own beliefs and culture.
This theory gained popularity during the struggle for independence in India and is considered
to be one of the main reasons behind the partition of India in 1947. It is also considered as the
basis for the demand of Pakistan as a separate Muslim state.
Wahadat-ul-Wajud and Whdat-ul-Shahud
He is known for his theory of "Wahadat ul Wajud" and "Whdat ul Shahud," which are closely
related to the concept of unity and oneness in Islam.
Wahadat ul Wajud, also known as "Unity of Being," is the belief that all things in existence
are ultimately one and that there is no distinction between God and creation. This theory
emphasizes the idea that God is the only reality and that all else is a manifestation of God.
Whdat ul Shahud, also known as "Unity of Witness," is the belief that all things in existence
are ultimately one and that there is no distinction between God and creation. This theory
emphasizes the idea that God is the only reality and that all else is a manifestation of God.
These theories were developed by Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani as a response to the teachings of
the philosopher Mulla Sadra, who had introduced the concept of "hulul" (incarnation) in
Islamic theology. Hazrat Mujadid Alf Sani believed that this concept was a deviation from
traditional Islamic belief and that it was necessary to re-emphasize the unity and oneness of
God in order to maintain the integrity of Islamic theology.
Struggle Against Jehangir's Policies
He is best known for his struggle against the policies of the Mughal Emperor Jehangir, who
at the time was promoting a more syncretic and tolerant approach towards other religions and
cultures.
Mujadid Alf Sani believed that Jehangir's policies were a threat to the purity and integrity of
Islam, and he worked tirelessly to oppose them. He advocated for a more strict and traditional
interpretation of Islam, and called for a return to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and
the early Muslim community.
One of the main ways Mujadid Alf Sani fought against Jehangir's policies was through his
writings. He produced a large number of works, including letters, treatises, and
commentaries, which were widely read and distributed throughout the Muslim community. In
these works, he criticized Jehangir's policies and called for a return to traditional Islamic
teachings.
In addition to his writings, Mujadid Alf Sani also used his spiritual influence and authority to
mobilize the Muslim community against Jehangir's policies. He was a respected and revered
Sufi master, and many Muslims looked to him for guidance and direction. By using his
spiritual authority to oppose Jehangir's policies, he was able to rally a large number of
Muslims to his cause.

SYED AHMAD SHAHEED
Syed Ahmad Barelvi was born in 1786 in the town of Rae Bareli in present-day Uttar
Pradesh, India. He was a highly religious and educated individual who had studied Islamic
theology and law in Delhi and Medina. He was influenced by the teachings of the 18th
century Muslim reformer Shah Waliullah and aimed to purify Islamic society in India from
the influence of Hindu customs and beliefs.
Early Life:
In his early life, Syed Ahmad Barelvi was a scholar and a preacher, who travelled extensively
throughout India and the Middle East. He was deeply concerned about the decline of Islamic
values and the influence of Hindu culture on Muslim society in India. He believed that the
only way to preserve the true essence of Islam was to launch a "Jihad" or holy war against the
forces of oppression and un-Islamic practices.
Barelvi was also influenced by the ideas of Wahhabism, a strict and puritanical interpretation
of Islam that was prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula at the time. He saw the need to revive
the practice of the pure Islam in India and to challenge the political and cultural domination
of the British East India Company and the Sikh Empire.
In 1826, he founded the "Tariqa-i-Muhammadiyya" movement, which aimed to promote
Islamic piety, educate Muslims and mobilize them to fight against the British and the Sikhs.
He called for a unified and peaceful Islamic state in India, where Islamic law and values
would be upheld.
Syed Ahmad Barelvi's teachings and ideas had a profound impact on the Muslim community
in India and inspired many to join his movement. He remains an important figure in the
history of the Indian subcontinent, and is remembered for his dedication to the cause of
Islamic revival and his efforts to unify and mobilize Muslims against colonial rule.
Reforms Movement:
Syed Ahmad Barelvi's reforms movement, also known as the "Tariqa-i-Muhammadiyya"
movement, aimed to revive the practice of pure Islam in India and to challenge the political
and cultural domination of the British East India Company and the Sikh Empire. The
movement was based on the principles of Wahhabism, a strict and puritanical interpretation
of Islam that was prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula at the time.
The movement aimed to promote Islamic piety and educate Muslims about the true essence
of their faith. Barelvi believed that the only way to preserve the true essence of Islam was to

launch a "Jihad" or holy war against the forces of oppression and un-Islamic practices. He
called for a unified and peaceful Islamic state in India, where Islamic law and values would
be upheld.
Barelvi's reforms movement attracted a large number of followers, including scholars,
students, and common people. He established madrasas (Islamic schools) and organised
preaching and educational missions to spread his message across the country. His followers
also engaged in social and cultural activities to promote the cause of Islamic revival and to
challenge the influence of Hinduism and British colonialism.
In addition to promoting Islamic education and values, the reforms movement also aimed to
challenge the political and cultural domination of the British East India Company and the
Sikh Empire. Barelvi and his followers engaged in armed resistance against the British and
the Sikhs, and attempted to establish an Islamic state in India.
Despite their efforts, the movement was ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its goals. Syed
Ahmad Barelvi was killed in a battle against the Sikhs in 1831, and the movement was
dispersed after his death. Nevertheless, the reforms movement left a lasting impact on the
Muslim community in India and is remembered as an important chapter in the history of the
Indian subcontinent.
Jihad Movement
Syed Ahmad Barelvi's Jihad movement aimed to establish an Islamic state in India and to
challenge the political and cultural domination of the British East India Company and the
Sikh Empire. The movement was a response to the decline of Islamic values and the
increasing influence of Hindu customs and beliefs on Muslim society in India. Barelvi
believed that the only way to preserve the true essence of Islam was to launch a "Jihad" or
holy war against the forces of oppression and un-Islamic practices.
The movement was based on the principles of Wahhabism, a strict and puritanical
interpretation of Islam that was prevalent in the Arabian Peninsula at the time. Barelvi and his
followers sought to promote Islamic piety and to educate Muslims about the true essence of
their faith. They established madrasas (Islamic schools) and organised preaching and
educational missions to spread their message across the country.
In addition to promoting Islamic education and values, the Jihad movement also engaged in
armed resistance against the British and the Sikhs. Barelvi and his followers travelled to the
northwestern regions of India and established a base in the city of Balakot. From there, they
launched several military campaigns against the British and the Sikhs, with the goal of
establishing an Islamic state in India.
Despite their efforts, the Jihad movement was ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its goals.
Syed Ahmad Barelvi was killed in a battle against the Sikhs in 1831, and the movement was
dispersed after his death. Nevertheless, the Jihad movement left a lasting impact on the
Muslim community in India and is remembered as an important chapter in the history of the
Indian subcontinent.
It is worth noting that Barelvi's ideas and the Jihad movement he led have been controversial
and have attracted criticism from some quarters. Some have argued that his ideas were
misguided and that his use of violence was not in line with the true teachings of Islam. Others

have praised him as a courageous and dedicated leader who fought against colonial
oppression and sought to preserve the Islamic values and identity of the Indian Muslim
community.
Battle of Balakot:
Syed Ahmad Barelvi died on 27 May 1831 in a battle against the Sikh Empire in Balakot, a
city in the northwestern region of India. The battle was part of Barelvi's efforts to establish an
Islamic state in India and to challenge the political and cultural domination of the British East
India Company and the Sikh Empire.
Barelvi was killed in action while leading his followers in battle against the Sikhs. Sikh
soldiers dug up the grave of Syed Ahmad Barelvi and threw his dead body into the river. It
was never found as the water in the Kunhar river flows too fast in that area. Despite his death,
the movement he led continued for several years, but eventually dispersed after facing
repeated military setbacks.
Barelvi's death was a significant event in the history of the Indian subcontinent and had a
lasting impact on the Muslim community in India. He is remembered as a brave and
dedicated leader who fought against colonial oppression and sought to preserve the Islamic
values and identity of the Indian Muslim community. Today, he is remembered as a symbol
of resistance against colonialism and as a hero of the Indian independence movement.

Indian National Congress, which was a major political party in British India and later
independent India, for its secular and inclusive approach. The Hindu Mahasabha has been
criticized by some for promoting divisive and discriminatory policies towards non-Hindus,
particularly Muslims.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS):
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a Hindu nationalist organization that was founded in
1925 by K. B. Hedgewar in Nagpur, British India (now India). The organization's main goal
is to promote Hindu nationalism and cultural pride. The organization's ideology is based on
Hindutva, which is a term used to describe a Hindu-centric nationalism ideology that
emphasizes the cultural and historical continuity of the Hindu people. The organization has
been involved in many political and social activities, including the promotion of Hindu
nationalism politics and the protection of Hindu rights. The organization has been criticized
by some for promoting divisive and discriminatory policies towards non-Hindus, particularly
Muslims.

URDU HINDI CONTROVERSY

The Urdu-Hindi Controversy was a linguistic and political dispute that emerged in British
India in the late 19th century and continued into the 20th century. The dispute centred on the
question of which language should be used as the official language in the region, with Urdu
being favoured by Muslims and Hindi by Hindus. The controversy had a major impact on
Indian politics and society, and played a role in the formation of the modern Indian and
Pakistani states.
Background:
The Urdu-Hindi Controversy emerged in the late 19th century, as British colonial officials
began to implement policies aimed at promoting the use of English as the official language in
British India. This led to a decline in the use of Urdu and Hindi, which were the main
languages spoken in the region. Many Muslim leaders and scholars, who saw Urdu as a
symbol of their Muslim identity, began to advocate for the use of Urdu as the official
language. On the other hand, many Hindu leaders and scholars, who saw Hindi as a symbol
of their Hindu identity, began to advocate for the use of Hindi as the official language.
The Controversy:
The dispute between Urdu and Hindi was fueled by linguistic and cultural differences, as well
as political and economic factors. Muslims, who were largely concentrated in the
northwestern regions of British India, favored Urdu as it was the language of the Muslim elite
and had a rich literary tradition. Hindus, who were largely concentrated in the northeastern
regions of British India, favored Hindi as it was the language of the Hindu elite and had a rich
literary tradition. The controversy was further exacerbated by the fact that the two languages
were written in different scripts, with Urdu written in Arabic script and Hindi written in
Devanagari script.
Impact On Indian Politics:
The Urdu-Hindi Controversy had a major impact on Indian politics and society. It led to the
formation of linguistic states in British India, with Urdu-speaking areas becoming part of
Pakistan and Hindi-speaking areas becoming part of India. The controversy also played a role
in the formation of the modern Indian and Pakistani states, as it reinforced the idea of
religious and linguistic divisions between Hindus and Muslims.
Conclusion:
The Urdu-Hindi Controversy was a complex and multi-faceted dispute that emerged in
British India in the late 19th century. The dispute had a major impact on Indian politics and
society, and played a role in the formation of the modern Indian and Pakistani states. The
controversy was fueled by linguistic and cultural differences, as well as political and
economic factors, and it reinforced the idea of religious and linguistic divisions between
Hindus and Muslims. Despite the controversy, both languages continue to be widely spoken
and written in the region and have rich literary traditions

DIVISION OF BANGAL 1905
The division of Bengal in 1905 was a major event in the history of British India that had far-
reaching consequences for the region. The British government's decision to divide the Bengal
Presidency, which was then the largest administrative division in British India, into two
separate provinces, Bengal and Eastern Bengal and Assam, sparked widespread protests and
opposition from a wide range of groups.
Background
Bengal, which included present-day West Bengal, Bihar, and parts of Odisha, was the most
populous and economically advanced region of British India at the time. The British
government, which had been facing growing discontent and resistance in the region, believed
that dividing the province would help to alleviate administrative difficulties and reduce the
likelihood of rebellion.
Reasons for Division
The official reason given by the British government for the division was administrative
efficiency. They argued that Bengal's large size and population made it difficult to govern
effectively, and that dividing the province would make it easier to provide public services and
maintain law and order. However, many believed that the real reason for the division was to
weaken the Bengali nationalist movement, which had been gaining strength in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries.
Opposition and Protests
The decision to divide Bengal was met with widespread opposition from a wide range of
groups, including Bengali nationalists, Hindus, Muslims, and the educated middle class. The
Indian National Congress, which had been founded in 1885, called for a boycott of British
goods and organized protests against the division. The British government's use of force to
suppress the protests further angered the population.
Impact on Region
The division of Bengal had a significant impact on the region, both politically and
economically. The Bengali nationalist movement, which had been growing in strength, was
weakened by the division and the subsequent protests. However, the division also led to the
creation of a separate Muslim-majority province, which would later become East Pakistan,
and eventually the independent nation of Bangladesh.
Economically, the division had a negative impact on the region, as the separation of the more
developed western half of Bengal from the less developed eastern half resulted in a decline in
trade and industry. The British government's decision to make Calcutta (now Kolkata) the
capital of the new Bengal province further exacerbated the economic problems in the region.
Conclusion
The division of Bengal in 1905 was a major event in the history of British India that had far-
reaching consequences for the region. The decision to divide the Bengal Presidency sparked
widespread protests and opposition and had a significant impact on the region, both
politically and economically. Despite the negative consequences, the division also led to the
creation of East Pakistan, which would eventually become the independent nation of
Bangladesh.

SEPARATE ELECTORATE IN SUBCONTINENT
The issue of separate electorate in the Indian subcontinent during British rule refers to the
demand by certain religious and ethnic groups for separate representation in the government.
This demand was based on the idea that certain groups, such as Muslims, should have
separate representation in the government in order to protect their rights and interests. The
separate electorate system was introduced in British India in 1909, but it was later abolished
in 1947 after the independence of India and Pakistan.
Background:
The idea of separate electorate in British India was first proposed by Muslim leaders in the
late 19th century. They believed that the British government's policy of giving equal
representation to all religious and ethnic groups would lead to the suppression of Muslim
rights and interests. They also believed that separate representation would ensure that Muslim
voices were heard in the government and that Muslim rights were protected.
Implementation:
The separate electorate system was introduced in British India in 1909, through the Minto-
Morley Reforms. The system provided separate representation for Muslims in the
government, and Muslim voters were only allowed to vote for Muslim candidates. This
system was implemented in order to give Muslim communities in British India, who
constitute a minority, more representation in the government.
Criticisms:
The separate electorate system was criticized by many for promoting divisive and
discriminatory policies towards non-Muslims. It was argued that the system would lead to the
fragmentation of society and would undermine the unity of the Indian subcontinent. The
system was also criticized for promoting communalism and for encouraging religious and
ethnic divisions.
Abolition:
The separate electorate system was abolished in 1947 after the independence of India and
Pakistan. The Indian and Pakistani Constitutions adopted a universal adult franchise, which
means that all citizens have the right to vote regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or any
other criteria.
Conclusion:
The issue of separate electorate in the Indian subcontinent during British rule was a complex
and controversial issue. The separate electorate system was introduced in British India in
1909 to give Muslim communities more representation in the government, but it was later
abolished in 1947 after the independence of India and Pakistan. The system was criticized for
promoting divisive and discriminatory policies towards non-Muslims and for encouraging
religious and ethnic divisions. The adoption of universal adult franchise after independence,
ensured that all citizens have the right to vote regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or any
other criteria.

SIMLA DEPUTATION 1906

In 1906, a group of Indian leaders gathered in Simla, India for a historic meeting with British
officials known as the Simla Deputation. This event marked a turning point in the Indian
independence movement, as it marked the first time Indian leaders were able to directly
present their grievances and demands to the British government.
Background
The Indian independence movement had been growing in strength and momentum for several
decades prior to the Simla Deputation. Indian leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi and
Jawaharlal Nehru had been advocating for greater autonomy and self-rule for India, and the
British government had been increasingly facing pressure to make concessions to Indian
demands.
The Simla Deputation was organized by the Indian National Congress, the largest political
party in India at the time. The Congress had been demanding greater representation in the
British government, and had been pushing for the appointment of an Indian member to the
Viceroy's Executive Council.
The Deputation
The Simla Deputation was attended by a group of Indian leaders, including Gopal Krishna
Gokhale, Dadabhai Naoroji, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The leaders presented a list of
demands to the British officials, including the appointment of an Indian member to the
Viceroy's Executive Council, the creation of an Indian budget, and the establishment of a
separate department for Indian affairs.
The British officials, led by Lord Minto, the Governor-General of India, were initially
hesitant to accept the demands of the Indian leaders. However, after several days of
discussions and negotiations, the British government agreed to appoint an Indian member to
the Viceroy's Executive Council and to establish a separate department for Indian affairs.
The Impact of the Simla Deputation
The Simla Deputation marked a significant step forward in the Indian independence
movement. The agreement reached between the Indian leaders and the British government
was a major victory for the Indian National Congress and a sign of growing British
recognition of Indian demands for greater autonomy.
The appointment of an Indian member to the Viceroy's Executive Council was a major
achievement for the Indian leaders, as it marked the first time an Indian had been given a seat
at the highest level of the British government in India. This was seen as a major step towards
greater representation and self-rule for India.
Conclusion
The Simla Deputation of 1906 was a significant moment in Indian history, marking a turning
point in the Indian independence movement. The agreement reached between the Indian
leaders and the British government was a major victory for the Indian National Congress and
a sign of growing British recognition of Indian demands for greater autonomy. The Simla
Deputation was a significant step towards the eventual independence of India and the
establishment of the Republic of India in 1947.

FORMATION OF MUSLIM LEAGUE 1906

In 1906, a group of Muslim leaders in India came together to form the All India Muslim
League, a political party that would play a key role in the Indian independence movement and
the eventual creation of Pakistan. The formation of the Muslim League marked a significant
moment in Indian history, as it marked the first time Muslim leaders had organized
themselves into a separate political entity.
Background
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, India was under British colonial rule and the Indian
independence movement was gaining momentum. However, Muslim leaders in India felt that
their interests were not being adequately represented by the Indian National Congress, the
main political party at the time.
In 1906, a group of Muslim leaders, led by Nawab Khwaja Salimullah, gathered in Dhaka,
East Bengal (now Bangladesh) to form the All India Muslim League. The party was formed
with the aim of representing the interests of Muslims in India and to advocate for greater
autonomy and self-rule for India's Muslim population.
The Founding of Muslim League
The All India Muslim League was officially formed on December 30, 1906, in a meeting in
Dhaka, East Bengal. The meeting was attended by around 75 Muslim leaders from across
India.The following individuals are considered to be the founder members of the All India
Muslim League:
 Nawab Khwaja Salimullah: A prominent Muslim leader and member of the Bengal
Legislative Council, Salimullah was the driving force behind the formation of the
Muslim League. He served as the party's first president.
 Aga Khan III: The spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslim community, Aga Khan III
was a prominent Muslim leader and philanthropist. He served as the party's first vice-
president.
 Muhammad Ali Jinnah: A prominent lawyer and political leader, Jinnah later

Legislative Council, Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Shah served as the party's first joint
treasurer.
 Maulana Zafar Ali Khan: A Muslim journalist and political leader, Maulana Zafar
Ali Khan served as the party's first press secretary.
 Raja Sahib Mehmoodabad: A Muslim leader and member of the United Provinces
Legislative Council, Raja Sahib Mehmoodabad served as the party's first joint press
secretary.

The Muslim League's founding manifesto outlined the party's goals, which included the
protection of Muslim rights and interests, the promotion of Muslim education and culture,
and the advocacy for greater autonomy and self-rule for India's Muslim population.
The Impact of the Muslim League
The formation of the Muslim League had a significant impact on Indian politics and the
independence movement. The party quickly gained support among Muslims across India and
became a powerful political force.
The Muslim League played a key role in the Indian independence movement, advocating for
greater autonomy and self-rule for India's Muslim population. The party also played a key
role in the eventual creation of Pakistan, which was established in 1947 as a separate Muslim-
majority state.
Conclusion
The formation of the All India Muslim League in 1906 marked a significant moment in
Indian history. The party's formation marked the first time Muslim leaders had organized
themselves into a separate political entity, and it played a key role in the Indian independence
movement and the eventual creation of Pakistan. The Muslim League's formation was a
significant step towards the recognition and representation of the Muslim community in
India.

ROLE OF MUSLIM LEAGUE IN CREATION OF PAKISTAN
The Muslim League was a political party in British India that played a pivotal role in the
creation of Pakistan as a separate Muslim-majority nation.
I. Origins of the Muslim League
The Muslim League was formed in 1906 as a response to the growing Hindu-dominated
Indian National Congress.
The party was initially focused on Muslim representation in government and protection of
Muslim rights, rather than the creation of a separate Muslim state.
II. The Two-Nation Theory
The Muslim League began to advocate for the Two-Nation Theory, which posited that
Hindus and Muslims were two distinct nations that could not coexist within a single country.
The theory gained traction in the 1940s, with Muslim League leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah
becoming a leading proponent.
III. The Demand for Pakistan
In 1940, the Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution, which called for the creation of
an independent Muslim state in the northwestern and northeastern regions of British India.
The demand for Pakistan gained momentum in the following years, with the Muslim League
winning a majority of Muslim seats in the 1946 elections.

IV. The Creation of Pakistan

On August 14, 1947, Pakistan was established as a separate Muslim-majority nation
comprising of the northwestern and northeastern regions of British India.
The Muslim League, under the leadership of Jinnah, played a crucial role in the negotiations
and political manoeuvring that led to the creation of Pakistan.
Conclusion
The Muslim League was a decisive force in the creation of Pakistan as a separate Muslim-
majority nation. The party's advocacy for the Two-Nation Theory and the demand for
Pakistan helped to shape the political climate in British India, leading to the eventual creation
of Pakistan in 1947.

MINTO MORELEY REFORMS (1909)
Introduction
The Minto-Morley Reforms, also known as the Indian Councils Act of 1909, were a set of
constitutional reforms implemented in British India. These reforms aimed to increase the
participation of Indians in the government of British India and provide for a more
representative system of governance.
Background
The Minto-Morley Reforms were proposed by Lord Minto, the Governor-General of India,
and Lord Morley, the Secretary of State for India.
These reforms were a response to the growing demands for greater Indian participation in
government and the increasing political activity in India, especially by the Indian National
Congress.
Key Provisions
The Minto-Morley Reforms made several key changes to the system of governance in British
India. These included:
 Increasing the number of members in the Imperial Legislative Council and the
Provincial Legislative Councils.
 Providing for the election of some members of these councils, instead of them being
appointed by the British government.
 Introducing the system of separate electorates, where members of specific
communities, such as Muslims and Sikhs, were elected through separate electoral
rolls.
 Allowing Indian members to participate in the budget discussions and question hour
in the Legislative Council.
 Giving the Indian members right to move resolutions and present petitions in the
Legislative Councils.

Impact of Minto-Morley Reforms:

The Minto-Morley Reforms were seen as a significant step towards greater Indian
participation in government. The introduction of elected members and separate electorates
was seen as a recognition of the diversity of Indian society.
However, the reforms were criticized for not going far enough in providing for true
representative government. The majority of members in the councils were still appointed by
the British government, and the councils had very limited powers.
The system of separate electorates also led to communal tensions and strengthened the
Muslim League, which advocated for separate representation for Muslims.
Conclusion
The Minto-Morley Reforms were an attempt by the British government to respond to the
growing demands for greater Indian participation in government and the increasing political
activity in India. These reforms provided for a more representative system of governance and
were seen as a significant step towards greater Indian participation in government. However,
the impact of these reforms was limited and they did not go far enough to provide true
representative government. The introduction of separate electorates further led to communal
tensions.

LUKHNOW PACT 1916
The Lucknow Pact of 1916 was a political agreement between the Indian National Congress
and the Muslim League. It was signed on December 31, 1916, in Lucknow, India. The pact
was a major milestone in the Indian freedom struggle and is considered to be one of the most
significant events of the Indian independence movement.
Background:
The Indian National Congress and the Muslim League were two major political parties in
India at the time. The Congress was a Hindu-dominated party, while the Muslim League
represented the interests of Indian Muslims. Both parties had been involved in the Indian
independence movement for many years, but they had never been able to work together
effectively.
The Lucknow Pact was the result of years of negotiations and talks between the two parties.
The Congress and the Muslim League had both been involved in a series of protests and
strikes against the British government in India. These protests had been met with harsh
repression by the British authorities, and both parties had become disillusioned with the
British government's policies.
The Pact:
The Lucknow Pact was a political agreement between the Indian National Congress and the
Muslim League. The main points of the pact were:
 The Congress and the Muslim League would work together to achieve self-
government for India.

 The Congress and the Muslim League would work together to achieve a system of
communal representation for Muslims and Hindus in the government of India.
 The Congress and the Muslim League would work together to achieve a system of
separate electorates for Muslims and Hindus in the government of India.
Importance of Lucknow Pact:

The pact was important for several reasons, including its role in bringing together the Indian
National Congress and the Muslim League, its impact on the political landscape of the sub-
continent, and its significance for the Indian independence movement.
a) Unity between the Congress and Muslim League:
One of the most important aspects of the Lucknow Pact of 1916 was that it brought
together the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. The Congress was a
Hindu-dominated political party that advocated for Indian independence, while the
Muslim League was a Muslim-dominated political party that also advocated for Indian
independence. The Lucknow Pact marked the first time that these two parties had worked
together on a common platform.
b) Political Importance:
The Lucknow Pact of 1916 had a significant impact on the political landscape of the sub-
continent. The pact marked the first time that the Congress and the Muslim League had
worked together on a common platform and this cooperation helped to build a sense of
national unity and identity. The pact also helped to build bridges between the Muslim and
Hindu communities and promoted communal harmony.
c) Importance for Indian Independence Movement:
The Lucknow Pact of 1916 was significant for the Indian independence movement. The
pact marked the first time that the Congress and the Muslim League had worked together
on a common platform and this cooperation helped to build a sense of national unity and
identity. The pact also helped to build bridges between the Muslim and Hindu
communities and promoted communal harmony. This helped to create a more united front
against British colonialism, and the pact was an important step towards Indian
independence.
The Impact on Indian Politics:
The Lucknow Pact had a significant impact on the Indian independence movement. It marked
the first time that the Congress and the Muslim League had worked together effectively to
achieve a common goal. The pact helped to unite the two parties and to build a stronger and
more effective movement for Indian independence.
The pact also had a major impact on the British government's policies in India. The British
government had been reluctant to grant self-government to India, but the Lucknow Pact made
it clear that the Indian people were united in their demand for self-government. This put
pressure on the British government to make concessions and to begin to consider the
possibility of Indian independence.

Political Compromise:
The Lucknow Pact was a political compromise between the Indian National Congress and the
Muslim League. The Congress had previously been opposed to the idea of separate
electorates for Muslims and Hindus, but they agreed to this demand in the pact in order to
gain the support of the Muslim League. Similarly, the Muslim League had previously been
opposed to the idea of self-government for India, but they agreed to this demand in the pact in
order to gain the support of the Congress.
Conflicting Interests:
Despite the pact being a major milestone in the Indian freedom struggle, it also represented
conflicting interests between the Congress and the Muslim League. The Congress was
primarily focused on achieving self-government for India, while the Muslim League was
primarily focused on protecting the rights and interests of Indian Muslims. This led to
tensions between the two parties and ultimately, the pact was not able to fully resolve these
conflicting interests.
Conclusion:
The Lucknow Pact of 1916 was a major milestone in the Indian independence movement. It
marked the first time that the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League had worked
together effectively to achieve a common goal. The pact helped to unite the two parties and to
build a stronger and more effective movement for Indian independence. It also had a major
impact on the British government's policies in India and put pressure on the British
government to make concessions and to begin to consider the possibility of Indian
independence.

The Reforms By British Government 1919
The reforms of 1919 in the subcontinent were a series of changes made by the British
government in India in response to growing demands for self-government and political
representation. These reforms were introduced in the aftermath of World War I and were
intended to address the political and economic challenges facing India at the time.
Background:
During World War I, India had played a vital role in supporting the British war effort,
providing troops and resources. The war had also brought about significant changes in the
global political and economic landscape, and many Indians saw this as an opportunity to
demand greater autonomy and self-government.
The Rowlatt Act:
The British government responded to these demands by introducing the Rowlatt Act in 1919.
This act gave the government sweeping powers to arrest and detain individuals suspected of
political crimes without trial. The act was widely criticized by Indian leaders and political
organizations and sparked widespread protests and civil disobedience.

The Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms:

In response to the growing pressure and public discontent, the British government introduced
the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms in 1919. These reforms aimed to address the political and
economic challenges facing India by introducing a system of dyarchy, which divided the
government of India into two parts: the central government and the provinces. The central
government was responsible for foreign affairs, defense, and communications, while the
provinces were responsible for education, health, and other local issues.
The Government of India Act 1935:
The Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 were not sufficient to address the demands of
Indian independence, and in 1935, the British government introduced the Government of
India Act. This act aimed to provide a more comprehensive framework for Indian self-
government, by introducing a bicameral legislature and a system of communal representation
for Muslims and Hindus.
Conclusion:
The reforms of 1919 in the subcontinent were a series of changes made by the British
government in India in response to growing demands for self-government and political
representation. These reforms were intended to address the political and economic challenges
facing India at the time, but they were not sufficient to address the demands of Indian
independence. The Government of India Act 1935, was the most comprehensive framework
for Indian self-government. Despite these reforms, the independence movement continued to
grow and gain momentum, leading to the eventual withdrawal of British colonialism from
India.

KHILAFAT MOVEMENT, 1922
The Khilafat Movement was a political and religious movement that emerged in India in the
early 20th century. The movement aimed to protect the rights of the Ottoman Caliphate
(Khilafat), which was seen as an important symbol of Muslim unity and identity. The
movement was sparked by the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent dismantling of
the Caliphate in 1922. The Khilafat Movement was primarily led by Indian Muslims, who
were deeply concerned about the fate of the Ottoman Caliphate. The Ottoman Empire had
been a powerful Muslim state for centuries, and the Caliphate was seen as an important
symbol of Muslim unity and identity.
In the aftermath of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was defeated and the Caliphate was
dismantled by the British and French. This caused great concern among Indian Muslims, who
saw the fall of the Caliphate as a blow to their religious and cultural identity.
The Movement:
The Khilafat Movement was launched in 1919 by Indian Muslim leaders such as Maulana
Abul Kalam Azad, Maulana Mohammad Ali, and Shaukat Ali. The movement aimed to
protect the rights of the Ottoman Caliphate and to restore the Caliphate to its former glory.

The movement was primarily focused on political and diplomatic efforts, including protests,
strikes, and petitions to the British government. The leaders of the movement also met with
other Muslim leaders and leaders of the Indian independence movement, such as Mahatma
Gandhi, to gain support for their cause.

i. United the Nationalist Movement:
One of the major impacts of the Khilafat Movement on Indian politics was that it helped
to unite the Indian nationalist movement. The movement brought together Indian
Muslims and Hindus, who had previously been divided by religious and cultural
differences. This helped to build a stronger and more united movement for Indian
independence.
ii. Religious and Cultural Identity:
The Khilafat Movement also had a significant impact on the religious and cultural
identity of Indian Muslims. The fall of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent

early 20th century. The movement aimed to protect the rights of the Ottoman Caliphate and
was sparked by the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent dismantling of the
Caliphate in 1922. The movement had a significant impact on the Indian independence
movement and helped to bring Indian Muslims and Hindus together. It also had a major
impact on the Muslim world, as it helped to raise awareness about the plight of the Ottoman
Caliphate and to build a sense of Muslim unity and identity.

NEHRO REPORT 1928
The Nehru Report was a political document that was presented to the British government in
1928. The report was written by a committee that was headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, who later
became the first Prime Minister of India. The report outlined the demands of the Indian
independence movement and proposed a constitutional framework for an independent India.
The Nehru Report was a response to the Simon Commission, which was a British
commission that was established in 1927 to review the political situation in India. The Simon
Commission was controversial because it did not include any Indian members, and it was met
with widespread protests and boycotts in India. In response to the Simon Commission, the
Indian National Congress established a committee to draft a report outlining the demands of
the Indian independence movement.
Key Demands:
The report outlined a proposed constitution for an independent India and made several
demands for political and social reforms.
i. Political Demands:
The Nehru Report made several political demands, including the demand for a federal
system of government for India. This would have given more autonomy to the provinces
of India and would have allowed for more local control over government. The report also
demanded universal adult suffrage, which would have given all adult citizens the right to
vote in elections.

ii. Social Demands:

The Nehru Report also made several social demands, including the demand for religious
and communal tolerance. The report called for an end to discrimination based on religion,
caste, or gender and called for the protection of the rights of minorities. The report also
called for the abolition of the caste system, which was a social hierarchy that had long
been a source of discrimination in India.
iii. Economic Demands:
The Nehru Report also made several economic demands, including the demand for land
reform. The report called for the redistribution of land from the wealthy to the poor, as
well as for the protection of the rights of tenants and sharecroppers. The report also called
for the expansion of industry and the development of modern infrastructure, such as
roads, railways, and ports.
Reaction by Muslim Leaders:
The Muslim leaders rejected the Nehru report because it did not offer any safeguards for the
protection of Muslim rights and interests. The report did not provide any guarantees for the
preservation of Muslim culture and identity, and it did not propose any measures to protect
Muslim minority rights. Muslims felt that the report failed to take into account their specific
needs and concerns, and that it did not address the issue of communal representation.
Many Muslim leaders felt that the Nehru report was a betrayal of the Congress's promises to
the Muslim community, and that it was a clear indication of the Congress's lack of
commitment to the rights and interests of Muslims. Some Muslim leaders also felt that the
Nehru report was a sign of the Congress's Hindu bias, and that it was part of a larger attempt
to marginalize the Muslim community in India.
In response to the Nehru report, several Muslim leaders formed the All India Muslim
Conference in order to mobilize the Muslim community and to press for their rights and
interests. The Muslim leaders also refused to participate in the Round Table Conferences, as
they felt that the British government had not taken their concerns into account.
Conclusion:
The Nehru Report was a political document that was presented to the British government in
1928. The report was written by a committee that was headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, and it
outlined the demands of the Indian independence movement and proposed a constitutional
framework for an independent India. The report called for complete independence for India
and the immediate withdrawal of British colonial rule, the establishment of a federal system
of government, protection of minority rights and the establishment of a secular government in
India. The report was met with a mixed reaction in India and was rejected by the British
government, but it was an important step in the Indian freedom struggle and had a significant
impact on Indian politics.

Muslim philosopher, poet, and politician, at the annual session of the Muslim League in
Allahabad, India. The speech outlined Iqbal's vision for the future of the sub-continent and it

Iqbal was a prominent Muslim philosopher, poet, and politician in the Indian sub-continent in
the 19th century. He was a strong advocate for the rights and interests of the Muslim

Iqbal also stressed on the importance of education in his speech. He believed that
education was the key to the social and political empowerment of Muslims in the sub-
continent. He argued that education would help to build a strong Muslim community, and
that it would be essential for the success of the Muslim independence movement.
d) Role of Religion:
Iqbal also emphasized the role of religion in his speech. He believed that Islam was not
just a religion but a way of life, and that it was essential for the preservation of Muslim

culture and identity. He argued that Muslims needed to have a strong connection to their
religion in order to achieve their goals, and that Islam was the foundation of Muslim
culture and identity.

mobilize the Muslim community and to press for their rights and interests. The speech also
helped to build a sense of Muslim identity and unity, and it helped to create a more inclusive

ROUNDTABLE CONFERENCES
The Round Table Conferences were a series of three conferences held in London between
1930 and 1932, to discuss constitutional reform in British India. The conferences were
attended by representatives from the British government, the Indian National Congress, the
Muslim League, and other Indian political parties and groups. The Round Table Conferences
were important for several reasons, including their role in shaping the constitutional reform
process in British India, their impact on the Indian independence movement, and their
significance for the political landscape of the sub-continent.

First Round Table Conference 1930:

The First Round Table Conference was held in London between November 12, 1930 and
January 19, 1931. It was the first of three conferences held in London to discuss
constitutional reform in British India. The conference was attended by representatives from
the British government, the Indian National Congress, the Muslim League, and other Indian
political parties and groups.
The main agenda of the first round table conference was to discuss the future constitutional
arrangements for India, and to negotiate the terms of Indian self-government. The British
government proposed a system of communal representation, where the Muslim, Sikh and
Indian Christian communities would be given separate representation in the legislature. The
conference also discussed the issues related to minority rights, representation, and the rights
of the princely states.
However, the conference faced a number of challenges. The Indian National Congress, led by
Mahatma Gandhi, boycotted the conference, as they felt that the British government was not
serious about granting Indian self-government. The Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali
Jinnah, also boycotted the conference, as they felt that their demands for a separate Muslim
state were not being taken into account.
Despite these challenges, the First Round Table Conference did make some progress. The
British government committed to the principle of Indian self-government, and they agreed to
set up a joint select committee to consider the future constitutional arrangements for India.
The conference also helped to build a sense of national unity and identity, and it helped to
harmony.
Second Round Table Conference 1931:
The Second Round Table Conference was held in London from September 7 to December 1,
1931. It was attended by representatives from the British government, the Indian National
Congress, the Muslim League, and other Indian political parties and groups. The main
objective of the conference was to discuss and negotiate a constitutional reform plan for
British India.
One of the main issues discussed at the conference was the question of communal
representation. The British government proposed a system of communal representation,
where the Muslim, Sikh, and Indian Christian communities would be given separate
representation in the legislature. However, the Indian National Congress rejected this
proposal and argued for a more inclusive and pluralistic political system.
Another major issue discussed at the conference was the question of federalism. The British
government proposed a federal system of government for India, with provinces having a
significant degree of autonomy. However, the Indian National Congress rejected this
proposal and argued for a more centralized system of government.
The conference also saw the participation of many leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi,
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and B. R. Ambedkar. However, the conference failed to reach a
consensus on the constitutional reform plan for British India. The Indian National Congress
refused to accept the British government's proposals for communal representation and

federalism. The Muslim League, on the other hand, believed that the British government's
proposals did not go far enough in protecting Muslim rights and interests.
The Second Round Table Conference was significant for the Indian independence movement,
as it highlighted the deep communal divisions in India and the lack of agreement on a
constitutional reform plan between the British government, the Indian National Congress and
the Muslim League. The conference was also significant as it marked the end of the Round
Table Conferences and the start of the civil disobedience movement in India.
Third Round Table Conference 1932:
The Third Round Table Conference was held in London between November 17, 1932, and
December 24, 1932, as part of the series of conferences called by the British government to
discuss constitutional reform in British India. This conference was attended by
representatives from the British government, the Indian National Congress, the Muslim
League, and other Indian political parties and groups.
The Third Round Table Conference was significant for several reasons. Firstly, it was the last
of the Round Table Conferences, and it marked the end of the British government's efforts to
find a solution for constitutional reform in British India through dialogue and negotiation.
Secondly, it was notable for the absence of Mahatma Gandhi, who refused to attend the
conference, and instead, the Congress was represented by other leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru
and Sardar Patel.
During the conference, several issues were discussed, including the question of communal
representation, the role of the princely states, and the future of British India. The British
government proposed a system of communal representation, where the Muslim, Sikh and
Indian Christian communities would be given separate representation in the legislature, but it
was rejected by the Congress.
In the end, the Third Round Table Conference failed to reach a consensus on the
constitutional reform process. The British government, faced with growing opposition and
political instability in India, decided to pass the Government of India Act 1935, which
proposed a federal system of government for India and provided for the separation of British
India and the princely states.
IMPORTANCE OF ROUND TABLE CONFERENCES:
These conferences played a vital role in Indian Politics and we can better understand about
their importance through following points:
Shaping the Constitutional Reform Process:
The Round Table Conferences played an important role in shaping the constitutional reform
process in British India. The conferences provided an opportunity for the British government,
Indian political leaders, and other stakeholders to discuss and negotiate the future
constitutional arrangements for India. The conferences helped to build a sense of national
unity and identity, and they helped to build bridges between the Muslim and Hindu
communities and promoted communal harmony.

Impact on Indian Independence Movement:

The Round Table Conferences had a significant impact on the Indian independence
movement. The conferences helped to create a more united front against British colonialism,
and they helped to build a sense of national unity and identity. The conferences also helped to
harmony. This helped to create a more united front against British colonialism, which was
crucial for the success of the Indian independence movement.
Significance for the Political Landscape of the sub-continent:
The Round Table Conferences had a significant impact on the political landscape of the sub-
continent. The conferences helped to create a more inclusive and pluralistic political system,
in which the rights and interests of all communities were protected. The conferences also
helped to build bridges between the Muslim and Hindu communities and promoted
communal harmony. This helped to create a more inclusive and pluralistic political system,
which was essential for the success of the Indian independence movement.
Role in Communal Representation:
The Round Table Conferences also played an important role in communal representation by
providing a platform for various communities to present their demands and concerns. The
British government, recognizing the communal divisions in India, proposed a system of
communal representation where the Muslim, Sikh and Indian Christian communities would
be given separate representation in the legislature.
Conclusion:
The Round Table Conferences were a series of three conferences held in London between
1930 and 1932, to discuss constitutional reform in British India. They were important for
several reasons, including their role in shaping the constitutional reform process in British
India, their impact on the Indian independence movement, and their significance for the
political landscape of the sub-continent. The conferences also played an important role in
communal representation, helping in providing a platform for various communities to present
their demands and concerns. They were instrumental in shaping the political and social
landscape of the sub-continent and continues to have a lasting impact on the Indian politics.

GOVERNMENT ACT OF 1935
The Government Act of 1935, also known as the Indian Constitution Act of 1935, was a
major constitutional reform act passed by the British government in India. The act aimed to
provide a new framework for the governance of British India and to establish a more
representative system of government. It was a significant step towards Indian self-
government and laid the foundation for the eventual independence of India.
Background
The Government Act of 1935 was the result of several years of political and constitutional
negotiations between the British government and Indian leaders. The act was a response to
the growing demands for self-government in India and the need for a more representative
system of government. The British government had previously attempted to address these

demands through the Indian Councils Act of 1909 and the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms of
1919, but these measures were seen as insufficient by Indian leaders.
The act was also influenced by the growing political and economic instability in India, as
well as the rise of nationalism movements and the demand for greater autonomy. The British
government recognized that a more representative system of government was necessary to
address these issues and to ensure the stability and security of British India.
Provisions of the Act
The Government Act of 1935 was a comprehensive act that made significant changes to the
governance of British India. Some of the key provisions of the act included:
 Federal Structure: The act established a federal structure for British India, with a
central government and provinces. The provinces were given more autonomy and
control over their own affairs, and the central government was responsible for certain
areas such as defense, foreign affairs, and communications.
 Provincial Autonomy: The act provided for greater autonomy for the provinces, with
the power to make laws and regulations in certain areas. The provinces were also
given the power to elect their own governments and to appoint their own officials.
 Legislative Councils: The act established legislative councils in the provinces and in
the central government. These councils were responsible for making laws and
regulations, and were composed of elected and appointed members.
 Representation: The act provided for greater representation of Indian leaders and
people in the government. The legislative councils were composed of both elected and
appointed members, and there were provisions for the representation of minority
groups and women.
 Executive Council: The act established an Executive Council to assist the Governor-
General in the administration of the government. The council was composed of both
British and Indian members and was responsible for advising the Governor-General
on matters of policy and administration.
Impact of the Act
The Government Act of 1935 had a significant impact on the governance of British India and
the political and constitutional development of India. The act established a more
representative system of government and provided for greater autonomy for the provinces
and Indian leaders. It also laid the foundation for the eventual independence of India, as it
provided for the participation of Indian leaders in the government and the representation of
Indian people in the legislative councils.
However, the act was also criticized for its limitations and for not going far enough in
providing for Indian self-government. The powers of the central government were still
extensive, and the act did not provide for a fully independent Indian government. The act was
also criticized for its lack of representation of minority groups and women.
In conclusion, The Government Act 1935 was a legislation passed by the British government
to reform the administration of British India and it aimed to provide a more efficient and
centralized system of government, as well as to increase the participation of Indians in the
administration of their own country. It was a significant step towards the eventual

independence of India but also faced significant criticism from Indian nationalist leaders and
political groups.

CONGRESS MINISTRIES 1937 – 39
The Congress Ministries were a series of state governments formed by the Indian National
Congress (INC) in British India between 1937 and 1939. The Congress Ministries were
formed as a result of the Indian general election of 1937, in which the Congress emerged as
the dominant political party in several provinces. In the election, the Congress won a majority
of seats in five provinces:
 Bombay
 Central Provinces
 Madras
 Orissa
 United Provinces
The British government, under pressure from Indian leaders, agreed to allow the Congress to
form government in these provinces. This marked the first time that the Congress had formed
government in British India, and it was seen as a significant step towards Indian self-
government. The Congress Ministries were formed under the Government of India Act 1935,
which provided for greater autonomy for the provinces and a more representative system of
government. The Congress Ministries were responsible for the administration of their
respective provinces and for making laws and regulations in certain areas.
However, the Congress Ministries faced several challenges during their tenure. They were
criticized for their lack of progress in addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, and
social inequality. They were also criticized for their inability to effectively challenge the
British government's policies and for their failure to push for full independence. In 1939, the
British government declared war on Germany and announced that it would be taking over the
administration of the provinces in order to focus on the war effort. The Congress Ministries
resigned in protest, and their tenure came to an end.
Policies of Congress Ministries:
During their tenure, they implemented several economic policies aimed at addressing issues
such as poverty, unemployment, and social inequality.
A. Economic Policies:
Some of the key economic policies of the Congress Ministries were:
 Land Reforms: The Congress Ministries implemented land reforms aimed at
redistributing land to the landless and poor. This included measures such as the
abolition of intermediaries and the implementation of land ceilings.
 Agriculture: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at improving
the condition of farmers and increasing agricultural production. This included
measures such as the establishment of cooperative societies and the introduction
of modern agricultural techniques.

 Industry: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at promoting

industrial development in the provinces. This included measures such as the
establishment of state-run industries and the encouragement of private investment
in industry.
 Labour: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at protecting the
rights of workers and improving their living and working conditions. This
included measures such as the introduction of minimum wages and the
improvement of working conditions in factories.
B. Social Policies
The Congress Ministries also implemented several social policies aimed at addressing
issues such as education, health, and welfare. Some of the key social policies of the
Congress Ministries were:
 Education: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at increasing
access to education and improving the quality of education. This included
measures such as the establishment of primary and secondary schools and the
expansion of higher education.
 Health: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at improving public
health and reducing the spread of disease. This included measures such as the
establishment of hospitals and the expansion of healthcare services.
 Welfare: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at providing
assistance to the poor and vulnerable. This included measures such as the
establishment of welfare centers and the introduction of social security schemes.
C. Political Policies
The Congress Ministries also implemented several political policies aimed at increasing
representation and participation of Indian leaders and people in the government. Some of
the key political policies of the Congress Ministries were:
 Representation: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at
increasing representation of Indian leaders and people in the government. This
included measures such as the expansion of the legislative councils and the
introduction of quotas for minority groups and women.
 Participation: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at increasing
participation of Indian leaders and people in the government. This included
measures such as the establishment of local government bodies and the expansion
of the franchise.
 Self-government: The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at
increasing self-government in the provinces and pushing for full independence.
This included measures such as the expansion of the powers of the provinces and
the push for greater autonomy
Effect of Policies on Muslims:

Policies of Congress Ministries through very negative effect on Muslims of India which is
described below:

1. Rise of Communal Tensions

The period of the Congress Ministries (1937-1939) was a difficult time for Muslims
in India due to the rise of communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims. The
Congress Ministries, led by Hindu leaders, were seen by many Muslims as being
primarily focused on the interests of Hindus and neglecting the concerns of Muslims.
This led to a growing sense of alienation and marginalization among Muslims.
The Congress Ministries also failed to address the issue of communal violence, which
had been escalating in the years leading up to their tenure. This violence, often
sparked by religious and political differences, resulted in the deaths of thousands of
Muslims and Hindus and further exacerbated communal tensions.
2. Lack of Representation
Another reason why the period of the Congress Ministries was difficult for Muslims
was the lack of representation of Muslims in the government. Despite Muslims
making up a significant proportion of the population, they were underrepresented in
the Congress Ministries and in the legislative councils. This lack of representation
meant that the concerns and interests of Muslims were not adequately represented in
the government.
The Congress Ministries also failed to implement policies aimed at increasing
representation of Muslims in the government, such as quotas for minority groups and
women. This further exacerbated the sense of marginalization and alienation among
Muslims.
3. Political Policies
The political policies of the Congress Ministries also contributed to the difficulties
faced by Muslims. The Congress Ministries implemented policies aimed at increasing
self-government and pushing for full independence, which many Muslims saw as a
threat to their rights and interests.
Many Muslims, particularly those in Muslim-majority provinces such as the North-
West Frontier Province and Sindh, feared that independence would lead to the
domination of Hindus and the marginalization of Muslims. This led to a growing
sense of insecurity and fear among Muslims.
The Congress Ministries also failed to address the issue of Muslim separatism, which
was growing in the years leading up to their tenure. Muslim leaders were calling for
the creation of a separate Muslim state in British India, which many Muslims saw as
the only way to protect their rights and interests.
Criticism on Congress Ministries:
Despite the significant progress made in terms of representation and participation of Indian
leaders and people in the government, the Congress Ministries were criticized for their lack
of progress in addressing important issues such as poverty, unemployment, and social
inequality.
 Economic Policies:
The Congress Ministries implemented several economic policies aimed at addressing
issues such as poverty, unemployment, and social inequality. However, these policies

were criticized for being inadequate and for not making a significant impact on the
lives of the poor and marginalized. The land reforms implemented by the Congress
Ministries were also criticized for being poorly implemented and for not effectively
redistributing land to the landless and poor.
 Social Policies:
The Congress Ministries also implemented several social policies aimed at addressing
issues such as education, health, and welfare. However, these policies were criticized
for being poorly implemented and for not making a significant impact on the lives of
the people. The Congress Ministries were also criticized for their lack of progress in
addressing important social issues such as the caste system and discrimination against
women.
 Political Policies:
The Congress Ministries also implemented several political policies aimed at
increasing self-government and pushing for full independence. However, these
policies were criticized for being inadequate and for not going far enough in
providing for Indian self-government. The Congress Ministries were also criticized
for their lack of progress in addressing important political issues such as communal
violence and Muslim separatism.
 Limitations of the Act:
The Congress Ministries were also limited by the provisions of the Government of
India Act 1935, which provided for a more representative system of government but
still retained significant powers for the British government. The Congress Ministries
were also criticized for their inability to effectively challenge the British government's
policies and for their failure to push for full independence.
In conclusion, the working of the Congress Ministries (1937-1939) was marked by a number
of challenges and limitations. Despite the significant progress made in terms of representation
and participation of Indian leaders and people in the government, the Congress Ministries
were criticized for their lack of progress in addressing important issues such as poverty,
unemployment, and social inequality. The Congress Ministries were also limited by the
provisions of the Government of India Act 1935, which provided for a more representative
system of government but still retained significant powers for the British government.

PAKISTAN RESOLUTION 1940
The Pakistan Resolution, also known as the Lahore Resolution, was a resolution passed by
the Muslim League, a political party in British India, in 1940. The resolution called for the
creation of an independent Muslim state in British India, to be known as Pakistan.
The Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, had been calling for the creation of a
separate Muslim state in British India for several years. The idea of Pakistan was first
proposed in 1930 by a Muslim leader named Choudhary Rahmat Ali, who used the term
"Pakistan" to refer to a separate Muslim state in British India.

The Pakistan Resolution:

The Pakistan Resolution was passed at the Muslim League's annual session in Lahore on
March 23, 1940. The resolution called for the creation of an independent Muslim state in
British India, to be known as Pakistan. The resolution stated that:
"No constitutional plan would be workable or acceptable to the Muslims unless geographical
contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted with such
territorial readjustments as may be necessary."
The resolution also called for the protection of Muslim minority rights in Hindu-majority
provinces and for the establishment of a Muslim-majority province in the north-west of
British India.
Impact on Muslims of India:

The resolution had a significant impact on the Muslim community in India, particularly in
terms of their political and constitutional development.
A. Rise of Muslim Nationalism
The Pakistan Resolution of 1940 had a major impact on the rise of Muslim
nationalism sentiments in India. The resolution called for the creation of a separate
Muslim state, which many Muslims saw as the only way to protect their rights and
interests. This led to a growing sense of nationalism among Muslims, as they saw the
possibility of a separate Muslim state as a way to escape from the perceived
domination of Hindus and the British government.
The resolution also sparked a renewed sense of political activism among Muslims.
Many Muslims began to see the creation of Pakistan as a real possibility and began to
actively work towards its realization. This led to the growth of Muslim political
organizations and the rise of Muslim leaders who would become central figures in the
movement for Pakistan.
B. Political Impact
The Pakistan Resolution of 1940 had a significant impact on the political development
of India. The resolution marked a turning point in the Muslim League's political
strategy, as it shifted from a focus on constitutional reform to a focus on the creation
of a separate Muslim state. This change in strategy was reflected in the Muslim
League's increasing demands for a separate Muslim state and its growing support
among Muslims in India.
The resolution also had an impact on the relationship between the Muslim League and
the Congress, the main Hindu political party in India. The Congress had previously
been seen as the main political representative of all Indians, but the Pakistan
Resolution marked a shift in this perception as it became clear that the Muslim
League was the main representative of the Muslim community.
The resolution also had an impact on the British government's policies towards India.
The British government was forced to take the demands for Pakistan seriously and

began to consider the possibility of partitioning India. This ultimately led to the
creation of Pakistan in 1947.
Conclusion
The Pakistan Resolution of 1940 had a significant impact on the Muslim community in India.
The resolution marked a turning point in the Muslim League's political strategy, as it shifted
from a focus on constitutional reform to a focus on the creation of a separate Muslim state.
This led to the rise of Muslim nationalism sentiments and political activism among Muslims.
The resolution also had a significant impact on the political development of India and the
British government's policies towards India, ultimately leading to the creation of Pakistan in
1947.

CABINET MISSION PLAN 1946
The Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946 was a plan announced by the British government to
transfer power from British to Indian hands. The plan was proposed by the British Cabinet
Mission, consisting of Lord Pethick-Lawrence, Sir Stafford Cripps and A.V. Alexander,
which arrived in India in March 1946 to negotiate with Indian leaders on the issue of
independence.
Background:
The British government, under pressure from the Indian independence movement, had
decided to withdraw from India and transfer power to the Indians. The Cabinet Mission was
sent to India to work out the details of the transfer of power and to negotiate with Indian
leaders on the future constitutional arrangements for the country.
Key Proposals:
 The Cabinet Mission Plan had several key proposals, including:
 The formation of an interim government at the center, consisting of both Congress
and Muslim League representatives, to prepare for the transfer of power.
 The establishment of a Constituent Assembly, composed of representatives from
British India and the Princely States, to draft a new constitution for India.
 The grouping of provinces into Hindu-majority and Muslim-majority areas to form
the basis for the future constitutional arrangements of the country.
Reaction:
The Congress Party, led by Jawaharlal Nehru, accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan as a step
towards independence. However, the Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, rejected
the plan, arguing that the grouping of provinces into Hindu-majority and Muslim-majority
areas did not adequately protect the rights and interests of Muslims.
Outcome:
The Cabinet Mission Plan ultimately failed to bring about a settlement between Congress and
the Muslim League. The Muslim League's rejection of the plan, along with increasing
communal violence between Hindus and Muslims, led to the partition of India and the
creation of Pakistan in 1947.

3RD JUNE 1947 PARTITION PLAN
The 3rd June Plan, also known as the Mountbatten Plan or the India Independence Act 1947,
was a plan announced by Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last British Viceroy of India, on June
3, 1947 to partition British India into two independent states, India and Pakistan.
Background:
The Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946 had failed to bring about a settlement between the
Congress Party, which represented the Hindu majority, and the Muslim League, which
represented the Muslim minority. As communal violence between Hindus and Muslims
increased, it became clear that a partition of the country was necessary.
Key Proposals:
 The 3rd June Plan had several key proposals, including:
 The partition of British India into two independent states, India and Pakistan, with
separate governments for the Hindu-majority areas and the Muslim-majority areas.
 The transfer of power from British to Indian hands on August 15, 1947.
 The division of the armed forces and government assets and liabilities between the
two new states.
 The protection of the rights of minorities in both India and Pakistan.
Reaction:
The Congress Party, led by Jawaharlal Nehru, accepted the 3rd June Plan as it was proposed
as the only solution to the communal violence and as a means to achieve independence.
However, the Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, also accepted the plan with
some reservations.
Outcome:
The 3rd June Plan was accepted by the British government and passed as the India
Independence Act 1947. It led to the partition of British India into two independent states,
India and Pakistan, on August 15, 1947. The partition resulted in widespread communal
violence and forced migration of millions of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs across the newly
drawn border.

RED CLIFF AWARD
The Red Cliff Award is a boundary award made by the International Boundary Commission
(IBC) in 1961, which settled a boundary dispute between India and Pakistan in the Rann of
Kutch region. The Rann of Kutch, a large salt marsh in the Thar Desert, is located in the
westernmost part of the Indian state of Gujarat and the southeastern part of the Pakistani
province of Sindh. In the mid-20th century, the boundary between India and Pakistan in this
region was not clearly defined, leading to disputes over the use and control of the area.
Proposals By Red Cliff Award:
 The Red Cliff Award, made by the International Boundary Commission (IBC) in
1961, had several key proposals, including:

 The establishment of a boundary line between India and Pakistan in the Rann of
Kutch region, based on the "line of control" proposed by India and Pakistan.
 The award of certain areas in the Rann of Kutch to India and certain areas to Pakistan.
 The determination of the rights and responsibilities of both countries with respect to
the use and control of the disputed area.
Reaction:
The award was accepted by both India and Pakistan, and the boundary line was demarcated
on the ground. The award settled the boundary dispute and led to a reduction in tensions
between the two countries in the Rann of Kutch region.
Outcome:
The Red Cliff Award settled the boundary dispute between India and Pakistan in the Rann of
Kutch region. The award established a clear boundary line and determined the rights and
responsibilities of both countries with respect to the use and control of the disputed area. The
award played a significant role in reducing tensions between India and Pakistan in the Rann
of Kutch region and paved the way for further negotiations and agreements between the two
countries on other issues.

History
Of
Pakistan

EARLY PROBLEMS OF PAKISTAN

Pakistan came into being on August 14, 1947. It was created as a result of the partition of
British India, which was divided into two independent countries, India and Pakistan. The
partition was based on religious demographics, with Pakistan becoming a Muslim-majority
country and India remaining predominantly Hindu. The partition led to mass migration and
violence between Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs, with an estimated one million people killed in
communal violence.
At the time of its creation, Pakistan faced a number of significant problems which are
discussed below:
1. Division of Assets:
At the time of its creation, Pakistan faced a number of significant problems regarding the
division of assets:
i. Division of financial assets: The partition of British India led to the division of
financial assets, including currency reserves, government debt, and public sector
enterprises. Pakistan inherited a relatively small share of these assets, which hindered
its ability to develop economically.
ii. Division of land and property: The partition led to the division of land and property,
with many people being forced to leave their homes and businesses. This led to a
shortage of housing and resources in Pakistan, and many people became refugees.
iii. Division of military assets: The partition also led to the division of military assets,
including weapons, equipment, and personnel. Pakistan inherited a relatively small
share of these assets, which hindered its ability to defend itself against external
threats.
iv. Division of government assets: The partition led to the division of government
assets, including government buildings, transportation systems, communication
networks, and more. Pakistan inherited a relatively small share of these assets, which
hindered its ability to develop infrastructure and provide services to its citizens.
v. Division of water resources: The partition led to the division of water resources,
such as the Indus river system. This led to disputes and tensions between Pakistan and
India, as both countries relied heavily on these resources for their agriculture and
economy.
vi. Division of industry and agriculture: The partition also led to the division of
industry and agriculture, with many industrial units and agricultural lands becoming a
part of India. This led to a shortage of resources and a lack of employment
opportunities in Pakistan.
2. Water Crisis:
Pakistan faced several problems regarding water resources:
i. Distribution of Indus Waters: The Indus river system was the backbone of the
economy of Pakistan, but the distribution of its waters between Pakistan and India
was not settled at the time of partition. This led to disputes and tensions between the
two countries, as India had control over the headworks of the Indus river system and
Pakistan feared that India would use this control to restrict the flow of water to
Pakistan.

ii. Lack of water storage: Pakistan lacked the infrastructure to store and manage its
water resources, making it vulnerable to floods and droughts. The lack of dams and
reservoirs made it difficult to conserve water during the monsoon season and release
it during the dry season.
iii. Irrigation issues: The distribution of water for irrigation was also a problem, with
farmers in certain areas receiving less water than others. This led to conflicts between
farmers and resentment towards the government.
iv. Water pollution: With the lack of proper sanitation systems, water pollution was a
major problem in Pakistan. This not only affected the quality of drinking water but
also made it difficult to use the water for irrigation and other purposes.
v. Climate change: Climate change also had an impact on the water resources of
Pakistan. The increasing temperature and changing precipitation patterns led to a
reduction in the availability of water and increase in the frequency of droughts and
floods.
3. Choosing The Capital Of The Country
One of Pakistan’s biggest and list problems after independence was that it did not have many
developed cities like India. So Pakistani leaders have only a few choices of cities as capital.
Karachi was chosen as the capital, and the officers and officials came from Dehli to Karachi
to set up the government capital. There was a lack of records, offices, furniture. Some of the
government offices were also established in military barracks during that hard time. Later
precisely, after 20 years of partition, on 14th august 1967, Islamabad became the second
capital of Pakistan under the rule of Ayub khan.
4. Unfair Boundary by Cyril Radcliffe

A commission was established to divide some provinces into Pakistan and India. As most of
the British officers were against the partition, so they tried to harm Pakistan in all ways.
Viceroy Mountbatten was also inclined towards India. Due to this, Pakistan lost many
Muslim Majority areas, including Ferozpor, Gordaspor, parts of Kashmir, and Jalandhar.
5. The Issue of Refugees
Issues related to refugees made the early days of Pakistan very challenging, but over the
years, Pakistan has made progress in addressing these problems,
i. Mass migration: The partition of British India led to mass migration, with millions of
Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs moving across the newly created border. This resulted in
overcrowding, shortages of housing and resources, and violence between
communities.
ii. Displacement: Many people were forced to flee their homes due to communal
violence, leading to a humanitarian crisis. This resulted in large numbers of refugees,
who were often housed in overcrowded and unsanitary camps.
iii. Lack of resources: The sudden influx of refugees put a strain on the already limited
resources of the new nation, making it difficult to provide adequate housing, food, and
medical care to all the refugees.
iv. Loss of property and livelihood: The refugees had to leave behind their homes, land,
and possessions, often losing their livelihoods and facing financial difficulties.

v. Socio-Economic issues: The refugees were often unskilled, poor and illiterate and
had difficulty finding work, resulting in poverty and unemployment.
vi. Psychological Trauma: Many refugees had experienced violence, loss of loved ones,
and other traumatic events. They were often suffering from emotional and
psychological distress, which was not addressed properly
vii. Political exploitation: Some political leaders used the refugee issue for their own
gain by playing on the emotions of the people and exploiting their suffering for
political gain.
6. Economic Problems:
At the time of its creation, Pakistan faced a number of economic problems:
i. Disruption of trade: The partition of British India led to the disruption of trade and
economic ties between Pakistan and India, resulting in shortages of goods and
services.
ii. Lack of industry: Pakistan was primarily an agricultural economy, with little
industry or infrastructure. This made it difficult for the country to attract foreign
investment and develop its economy.
iii. Limited resources: Pakistan had limited resources at the time of its creation and had
to rely on foreign aid to build its infrastructure and develop its economy.
iv. Dependence on agriculture: The economy of Pakistan was heavily dependent on
agriculture, which was vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods and droughts.
This made it difficult for the country to achieve economic stability and reduce
poverty.
v. Financial crisis: Pakistan faced a severe financial crisis at the time of its creation,
with high levels of inflation, a large trade deficit, and a shortage of foreign exchange.
vi. Income inequality: the newly created country had a significant income inequality,
which widened the gap between the rich and the poor, leading to poverty and social
unrest.
vii. Lack of education and skilled labour: Pakistan had one of the lowest literacy rates
in the world, with nearly half of the population unable to read or write. This lack of
education and skilled labour hindered the country's ability to develop economically.
7. Military Issues:
The ongoing tensions with India, made it difficult for Pakistan to effectively defend its
borders in the early years of its existence.
i. Border disputes: The partition of British India led to the creation of a new
international border between Pakistan and India, but the exact location of this border
was not clearly defined. This led to disputes over the ownership of certain areas,
particularly in the region of Kashmir.
ii. Lack of military infrastructure: As a newly created country, Pakistan had little in
the way of military infrastructure. The country had to quickly establish a military
force to defend its borders, but it had limited resources and little experience in this
area.

iii. Limited military capabilities: Pakistan's military capabilities were limited at the
time of its creation, with little in the way of modern equipment or training. This made
it difficult for the country to defend itself against a potential attack from India.
iv. Shortage of weapons: Pakistan had to quickly establish a military force but it had
limited resources, and it had to depend on other countries for weapons. This made it
difficult for the country to defend itself against a potential attack from India.
8. Making of Constitution:
The process of making the constitution for Pakistan very challenging and time-consuming. It
took Pakistan several years to adopt its first constitution, which was adopted in 1956. At its
early stage Pakistan faced following issues regarding Constitution:
i. Lack of consensus: There were a variety of political parties and groups in Pakistan at
the time of its creation, and they had different ideas about what the constitution
should include. This lack of consensus made it difficult to reach agreement on key
issues such as the form of government, the role of religion in politics, and the
distribution of power between the federal government and the provinces.
ii. Lack of political stability: The frequent changes in government and political
instability in the early years of Pakistan made it difficult to establish a stable
constitutional process. This hindered the ability to establish a stable democracy and
hindered the economic development of the country.
iii. Lack of democratic traditions: Pakistan was a new country with little experience of
self-government, and it faced a number of political challenges. The country was
initially ruled by the Muslim League, but there were also several other political parties
with competing ideologies. This lack of democratic traditions made it difficult to
establish a stable democratic government.
9. Balochistan Issue:
At the time of Pakistan's creation in 1947, the Balochistan region faced a number of issues.
One major problem was the lack of representation and political autonomy for the Baloch
people. The region was also facing economic marginalization, with a lack of development
and investment compared to other parts of Pakistan. Additionally, there were ongoing
conflicts between the Baloch tribes and the Pakistani government over control of resources
and land. These issues have led to a long-standing separatist movement in Balochistan, which
continues to be a major problem for the Pakistani government.
10. Early Death of Quaid-E-Azam:
The early death of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (the founder of Pakistan) posed
several problems for the newly formed nation. Some of these problems included:
i. Leadership vacuum: Jinnah's death left a leadership vacuum in the country, as he
was the undisputed leader of the Muslim League and the driving force behind the
creation of Pakistan. This caused confusion and uncertainty among the people and the
leaders of the country.
ii. Political instability: Jinnah's death also created political instability as there was no
clear successor to take over his leadership role. This led to a power struggle among
different political groups and factions, which further weakened the newly formed
nation.

iii. Lack of direction: Jinnah's death also meant that the country was without a clear
direction or vision for its future. This led to confusion and uncertainty among the
people and the leaders of the country.
iv. Failure of the Constituent Assembly: Quaid-e-Azam's death also resulted in the
failure of the Constituent Assembly to complete the drafting of the Constitution and
establish a stable government.
v. Loss of a unifying figure: Jinnah's death also meant the loss of a unifying figure who
could bring the different ethnic and religious groups together. This further weakened
the country and made it more vulnerable to internal divisions and conflicts.
11. Lack Of Infrastructure:
The Country Faced Several Problems Related To Lack Of Infrastructure. Some Of These
Include:
i. Transportation: Pakistan inherited a poorly developed transportation system from
British India. There were few roads, railways and airports, making it difficult to move
goods and people around the country.
ii. Energy: Pakistan had limited energy resources and infrastructure, making it difficult
to power the country's industries and homes. This was a major obstacle to economic
development.
iii. Communication: Pakistan had a limited communication network, with few telephone
and telegraph lines. This made it difficult for people to stay connected and for
businesses to operate.
iv. Education: Pakistan had a limited number of schools and universities, making it
difficult for people to access education. This was a major obstacle to the development
of a skilled workforce.
v. Healthcare: Pakistan had a limited number of hospitals and health clinics, making it
difficult for people to access healthcare. This was a major obstacle to the health and
well-being of the population.
vi. Water and sanitation: Pakistan had limited infrastructure for providing clean water
and sanitation services, making it difficult for people to access clean water and
adequate sanitation facilities.

THE SERVICES OF QUAID-I-AZAM MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH AS

THE FOUNDER AND FIRST GOVERNOR GENERAL OF PAKISTAN
Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the first Governor General of Pakistan. He played
a crucial role in the creation of Pakistan and is widely considered to be the "Father of the
Nation". Jinnah was a lawyer and politician who had been a member of the Indian National
Congress for many years. However, he became disillusioned with the Congress's approach to
the Hindu-Muslim issue and decided to join the Muslim League.
As leader of the Muslim League, Jinnah campaigned for the creation of a separate Muslim
state in the British Raj. He argued that Muslims would not be able to live in peace and
prosperity under Hindu majority rule. His efforts finally bore fruit in 1947 when Pakistan was
created as an independent nation.
Jinnah was appointed as the Governor General of Pakistan on August 15, 1947. He faced
many challenges in his role as the first head of state of Pakistan. He had to deal with the mass
migration of Hindus and Muslims, the division of assets and resources, and the establishment
of a new government. Despite these challenges, he worked tirelessly to establish Pakistan as a
stable, democratic and secular nation.
Jinnah's vision of Pakistan was based on the principles of democracy, justice and equality. He
believed that Pakistan should be a nation for all its citizens, regardless of their religion, race
or ethnicity. He also believed that Pakistan should be a modern, secular and progressive
nation, and he worked hard to build the institutions and infrastructure that would support this
vision.
Services Of Quaid-i-Azam:
He served as the first Governor General of Pakistan and played a crucial role in shaping the
country's political and constitutional framework.
A. Organizational Skills:
Jinnah was an expert organizer and a skilled politician. He was able to mobilize the
Muslim population of British India, and bring them together under the banner of the
Muslim League. He was able to unite different factions of the Muslim community and
create a powerful political force, which ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan.
B. Diplomatic Skills:
Jinnah had an excellent command over the English language, which helped him in
communicating with the British government and other world leaders. He was able to
negotiate with the British government and present the Muslim case for Pakistan in a
convincing manner. He also traveled to different countries to gain support for the
Pakistan Movement and to build relationships with other leaders.
C. Charismatic Personality:
Jinnah was a charismatic leader who had the ability to inspire and motivate people.
He was a powerful orator and had the ability to influence people through his speeches.
He was able to rally the Muslim community around the idea of Pakistan and create a
strong sense of nationalism among them. He was also able to create a sense of unity

among the different factions of the Muslim community, which was essential for the
success of the Pakistan Movement.
D. Religious Tolerance:
Despite being a leader of the Muslim community, Jinnah was a secular person and
believed in religious tolerance. He promoted the idea of a secular Pakistan where
people of different religions would have equal rights and opportunities. He was also
against religious extremism and believed that Pakistan should be a moderate Muslim
country.
E. Integrity:
Jinnah was a man of integrity and had a strong sense of morality. He was honest,
upright and fair in his dealing with people. He was always true to his word and kept
his promises. He was a man of high principles and had a deep sense of responsibility
towards the people of Pakistan.
These are some of the services of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as the founder of
Pakistan. Through his leadership, organizational skills, diplomatic skills, charismatic
personality, religious tolerance, and integrity, he was able to create an independent Muslim
state and shape the future of Pakistan.
Jinnah's untimely death on September 11, 1948, just 13 months after Pakistan's creation,
created a huge vacuum in the nation's leadership. Nevertheless, his ideals and principles
continue to be an inspiration for many in Pakistan today.

RIGHST OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN PAKISTAN AS
ENVISIONED BY QUAID-I-AZAM MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH
Pakistan was founded on the principles of religious freedom and tolerance, as envisioned by
its founding father, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. In his speeches and statements,
Jinnah emphasized the importance of protecting the rights of religious minorities in Pakistan,
and ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their faith, were treated equally under the law.
1. Jinnah's Vision for Religious Tolerance

Jinnah believed that Pakistan would be a secular state, where all religions would be treated
equally. He emphasized that the state should not interfere in the religious practices of its
citizens, and that everyone had the right to follow their own religion without fear of
persecution or discrimination. In his famous speech to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan
on August 11, 1947, Jinnah stated, "You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are
free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may
belong to any religion or caste or creed - that has nothing to do with the business of the
State."

2. Protection of Minority Rights

Jinnah also emphasized the importance of protecting the rights of minority communities in
Pakistan. He believed that it was the responsibility of the state to ensure that minority
communities were not marginalized or oppressed, and that they had equal access to
education, employment, and political representation. In his speeches, Jinnah repeatedly
stressed the importance of treating all citizens, regardless of their religion, as equal citizens of
Pakistan.
3. Implementation of Jinnah's Vision
Despite Jinnah's vision for religious tolerance and protection of minority rights, the rights of
religious minorities in Pakistan have been violated and marginalized over the years. The state
has failed to protect the rights of minorities, with discrimination and violence against
minority communities becoming increasingly common. However, there have been some
efforts to address these issues, such as the creation of the Ministry of Minority Affairs and the
passing of laws to protect minority rights.
Conclusion
Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's vision for religious tolerance and protection of
minority rights in Pakistan remains an important principle for the country. However, the state
has failed to fully implement this vision, and religious minorities in Pakistan continue to face
discrimination and marginalization. It is important for the government to take steps to address
these issues and ensure that all citizens, regardless of their religion, are treated as equal
citizens of Pakistan.

Early Internal Politics Challenges Faced By Pakistan Just After Creation
Internal politics of Pakistan at the early stage of its creation were characterized by several
major issues, including:
1) Power Struggles:
In the early years of Pakistan's existence, there were frequent power struggles
between different political leaders and factions. These struggles often centered around
control of the government and access to resources.
2) Ethnic And Regional Divisions:
Pakistan was composed of a diverse population with different ethnic and regional
identities. These divisions often led to conflicts between different groups, particularly
in the early years of the country's history.
3) Economic Challenges:
Pakistan faced a number of economic challenges in its early years, including a lack of
resources and a weak industrial base. These challenges made it difficult for the
country to develop and prosper.

4) Military Intervention In Politics:

The military has played a significant role in Pakistani politics, especially in the early
years of the country's existence. The military has intervened in politics on several
occasions, either through coups or by exerting influence over the government.
5) Lack Of Strong Political Institutions:

In the early years of Pakistan's existence, political institutions were not fully
developed. This led to a lack of stability and continuity in government, which in turn
hindered the country's development.
6) Tussle between Civil-Military:
Since the creation of Pakistan, Civil-Military relations have been strained. The
military has had a strong influence on the government and has been involved in
politics. This has resulted in a lack of civilian control over the military, which has in
turn affected the functioning of democratic institutions.
7) Corruption:
Corruption has been a persistent problem in Pakistan's politics since its creation,
especially in the early years. This has hindered the country's development and led to a
lack of trust in the government among the general population.
8) Balancing Relations With Neighbouring Countries:
Pakistan's relations with neighbouring countries, particularly India, have been a major
issue in its internal politics since its creation. Balancing relations with neighboring
countries has been a challenge for Pakistan, which has affected its internal politics.

LIAQAT ALI KHAN
Liaquat Ali Khan was the first Prime Minister of Pakistan, serving from 1947 until his
assassination in 1951. He played a major role in the country's early history and is considered
one of the most important leaders of Pakistan's founding generation. As the first Prime
Minister of Pakistan, Liaquat Ali Khan faced many challenges in the early years of the

strengthen the country's economy and infrastructure, including launching major public works
projects and implementing land reform measures.
Despite these achievements, Khan's tenure as Prime Minister was also marked by political
turmoil. He faced opposition from various political factions and struggled to maintain control
of the government. Additionally, he faced pressure from the military, which had a strong
influence on politics in the early years of Pakistan's existence.

Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated on October 16, 1951, during a public meeting in

Grants Commission to provide funding for universities and colleges.

h) Minority Rights:
Liaquat Ali Khan was committed to protecting the rights of minorities in Pakistan. He
established the Minority Commission to protect the rights of minorities and to ensure
that they were treated fairly and justly.
These are some of the key services provided by Liaquat Ali Khan for Pakistan during his
tenure as Prime Minister. His contributions helped to shape the young nation and laid the
foundation for its development in the years to come.
Foreign Policy of Pakistan:
Foreign Policy of Pakistan in the Era of Liaquat Ali Khan can be described as following:
i. Relations with the United States:
Liaquat Ali Khan's government sought to improve relations with the United States,
which had been strained in the past. Pakistan received military and economic aid from
the US during this period.
ii. Relations with India:
Relations with India were tense during Liaquat Ali Khan's tenure. The issue of the
disputed territory of Kashmir was a major point of contention between the two
countries.
iii. Relations with the Middle East:
Pakistan sought to strengthen its relations with the Middle East during this period.
Liaquat Ali Khan made a state visit to Saudi Arabia in 1950, which helped to improve
relations between the two countries.
iv. Participation in International Organizations:
Pakistan became a member of the United Nations and the World Bank during Liaquat
Ali Khan's tenure. Pakistan also joined the Baghdad Pact, which was a regional
defence pact of Middle Eastern and South Asian countries.
v. Role in Cold War:
Pakistan joined the American-backed Baghdad Pact and became one of the key
players in the Cold War. Pakistan also supported the US in the Korean War by
providing troops and supplies.
vi. Role in Non-Aligned Movement:
Pakistan played an active role in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) during this
period. Liaquat Ali Khan attended the first NAM summit in Bandung, Indonesia in
1955 and Pakistan became a founding member of the organization.
vii. Economic Diplomacy:
Pakistan's foreign policy also focused on economic diplomacy, particularly in the
Middle East. Pakistan sought to improve trade relations with Middle Eastern
countries, which helped to strengthen its economy.
viii. Kashmir Issue:
The issue of Kashmir remained a major point of contention in Pakistan's foreign
policy during Liaquat Ali Khan's tenure. Pakistan actively sought to resolve the issue
through diplomatic efforts, but no resolution was reached.

The Assassination Of Liaquat Ali Khan

On October 16, 1951, Khan was delivering a speech at a public rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan,
when he was shot and killed by a gunman. The assassin, Saad Akbar Babrak, was
immediately arrested and later hanged for the crime. The motives behind the assassination are
not entirely clear. Some believe that it was a politically motivated assassination, while others
have suggested that it was the result of a personal grudge.
The assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan was a major blow to Pakistan's government and
political stability. The country was still in its early years, and Khan had been a popular and
influential leader. His death led to a power vacuum and a period of political instability. It also
led to a loss of confidence in the government and a general sense of insecurity among the
population.
Additionally, the death of Khan also led to a change in Pakistan's foreign policy. After his
death, Pakistan's foreign policy became more pro-American, as the United States was seen as
a stabilizing force in the region. It also led to the rise of powerful military leader in the
country.

THE FIRST CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF PAKISTAN
The First Constituent Assembly of Pakistan was formed in 1947, shortly after the country
gained independence from British colonial rule. The assembly was tasked with drafting and
ratifying a constitution for the newly-formed country. The assembly was composed of
members elected from the provinces of British India that would form Pakistan, as well as
Muslim members of the Indian National Congress who opted for Pakistan. The assembly's
first meeting was held on August 11, 1947, and was presided over by Quaid-i-Azam
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the All India Muslim League and the founder of
Pakistan.
The assembly faced several challenges during its tenure. One of the major challenges was the
integration of the various ethnic and linguistic groups in the country. Another major
challenge was the integration of the Muslim minority provinces of British India into the new
country. Additionally, the assembly also had to deal with issues related to the division of
resources and power between the central government and the provinces. Despite these
challenges, the assembly was able to draft and ratify Pakistan's first constitution in 1956,
making Pakistan the first Islamic republic in the world. However, the assembly was dissolved
in the same year by President Iskander Mirza, and the constitution was never implemented.
Major Members of Assembly:
The First Constituent Assembly of Pakistan was formed in 1947, following the partition of
India and the creation of Pakistan. The assembly was composed of members from the
Muslim-majority areas of British India and was responsible for drafting the country's first
constitution. Some of the major members of the First Constituent Assembly of Pakistan
include:

1) Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah: The founder and leader of Pakistan, who was
also known as the "Father of the Nation". He was the president of the assembly and
played a major role in the drafting of the constitution.
2) Liaquat Ali Khan: The first Prime Minister of Pakistan, who also served as the
assembly's Vice President. He was a key member of the assembly and played an
important role in the drafting of the constitution.
3) Jogendra Nath Mandal: A prominent Bengali leader and member of the assembly,
who was also the first Law Minister of Pakistan. He played a key role in the drafting
of the constitution and was an advocate for minority rights.
4) Maulvi Tamizuddin Khan: A well-known Muslim leader and member of the
assembly, who served as the assembly's Speaker. He was a strong advocate for the
rights of the people of Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province.
5) Ghazanfar Ali Khan: A important Muslim leader and member of the assembly, who
served as the Minister of Communications in the first Cabinet of Pakistan.
6) Chaudhry Khaliquzzaman: A major Muslim leader and member of the assembly, who
served as the Minister of Food and Agriculture in the first Cabinet of Pakistan.
7) Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar: A famous Muslim leader and member of the assembly,
who served as the Minister of Communications in the first Cabinet of Pakistan.
8) Fazlul Huq: A prominent Bengali leader and member of the assembly, who served as
the Chief Minister of Bengal and later as the Minister of Interior in the first Cabinet of
Pakistan.
9) Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah: A prominent Bengali leader and member of the
assembly, who served as the Minister of Education in the first Cabinet of Pakistan.
The First Constituent Assembly of Pakistan played an important role in the formation of the
country and the drafting of its first constitution. However, its work was cut short by the
political instability and military intervention that plagued the country in its early years.

THE OBJECTIVES RESOLUTION
The Objectives Resolution was a resolution adopted by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan
in March 1949. It was the first step towards the drafting of a constitution for Pakistan and laid
out the fundamental principles and objectives of the new state. The resolution was proposed
by Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan and was passed with the support of all major political
parties in the assembly.
Objectives:
The Objectives Resolution set out a number of key objectives for the new state of Pakistan,
including:
i. Sovereignty: The resolution affirmed that sovereignty in Pakistan belongs to God and
that the state would be based on the principles of democracy, freedom, equality,
tolerance, and social justice.

ii. Islamic principles: The resolution stated that the state would be based on the
principles of Islam, and that the Constitution of Pakistan would be based on the Quran
and the Sunnah (the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad).
iii. Minority rights: The resolution affirmed the rights of minorities in Pakistan and
stated that the state would provide them with protection and justice.
iv. Economic development: The resolution stated that the state would work to promote
economic development and social welfare, and would ensure that the benefits of
development reach all sections of society.
v. Foreign policy: The resolution stated that the state would adopt a policy of peace and
friendship towards other countries and would work to strengthen the bonds of Muslim
solidarity.
Impact on Politics of Pakistan:
The Objectives Resolution had a significant impact on the politics of Pakistan. It provided a
framework for the drafting of the country's first constitution and set out the principles and
objectives of the new state. The resolution was also a reflection of the country's identity as an
Islamic state, and affirmed the role of Islam in the country's political and social life. The
resolution was later incorporated as a preamble in the Constitution of Pakistan 1956, 1973
and again in the Constitution of Pakistan 1979.
The Objectives Resolution is considered as an important document in the history of Pakistan
and is still considered as a guiding principle for the country's political and social
development.


MUHAMMAD ALI BOGRA
Muhammad Ali Bogra was the third Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1953 to 1955. He
played an important role in the politics of Pakistan during a critical period in the country's
history. Bogra began his political career in the 1940s as a member of the Muslim League, the
party that later became the ruling party of Pakistan. He was a member of the Constituent
Assembly of Pakistan that drafted the country's first constitution. He also served as Pakistan's
Ambassador to the United States and later as the Foreign Minister of Pakistan.
Role in Politics:
Bogra became Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1953, following the death of Khwaja
Nazimuddin. His tenure as Prime Minister was marked by a number of significant
developments in the country's politics and foreign policy. He was able to improve relations
with the United States and other Western countries, which led to increased economic and
military assistance for Pakistan.
Economic Reforms:
One of the major achievements of Bogra's government was the introduction of economic
reforms. He implemented policies to promote industrialization, increase agricultural
production and exports, and improve the country's infrastructure. He also introduced a
number of measures to curb inflation and stabilize the economy.
Constitutional Reforms:
Another significant development during Bogra's tenure as Prime Minister was the
introduction of constitutional reforms. He proposed a new constitution which granted more
autonomy to the provinces and introduced a cabinet system of government. The proposed

constitution also provided for the establishment of a bicameral legislature and an independent
judiciary.
Foreign Policy:
Bogra was credited for his efforts to improve Pakistan's relations with the United States and
other Western countries. He also worked to improve relations with other countries in the
region, particularly India. He played a key role in the establishment of the Baghdad Pact,
which was a security alliance of Middle Eastern and South Asian countries, which was
established in 1955.
BOGRA FORMULA
The Bogra Formula, also known as the One Unit Scheme, was a political proposal put
forward by Muhammad Ali Bogra, the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1953 to 1955. The
proposal aimed to unite the country's western wing, which was composed of several
provinces with different languages and cultures, into a single administrative unit. At the time
of Pakistan's creation in 1947, the country was composed of two wings, the western wing and
the eastern wing. The western wing, which consisted of the provinces of West Pakistan, had
several distinct ethnic and linguistic groups. These groups had different political and
economic interests, which made it difficult to govern the region effectively.
Purpose Of The Formula:
The Bogra Formula was intended to address the issue of the ethnic and linguistic diversity of
the western wing. The proposal aimed to unite the region into a single administrative unit to
improve governance and economic development. It also aimed to address the issue of the
unequal distribution of resources and political power between the western and eastern wings
of Pakistan.
Key Features:
The Bogra Formula proposed several key changes to the political and administrative structure
of Pakistan. These included:
a) One Unit:
The western wing would be united into a single administrative unit, with a single
legislature and a single government. This would eliminate the existing system of
provinces and reduce the power of regional politicians.
b) Federal Structure:
The new administrative unit would have a federal structure, with the central
government responsible for defense, foreign affairs, and certain other areas. The
provinces would have autonomy in other areas.
c) Bicameral Legislature:
The new administrative unit would have a bicameral legislature, consisting of a lower
house (National Assembly) and an upper house (Senate)
d) Minority Rights:
The minority ethnic and linguistic groups in the western wing would be protected by
special provisions in the constitution, such as reserved seats in the legislature and
special quotas in government jobs.

Reactions:
The Bogra Formula was met with mixed reactions. Some supported the proposal as a way to
improve governance and economic development in the western wing, while others opposed it
as a violation of the rights of minority ethnic and linguistic groups. The proposal was
implemented in 1955, but was later abolished in 1969.
In conclusion, The Bogra Formula was a political proposal aimed to address the challenges of
ethnic and linguistic diversity in the western wing of Pakistan. It proposed the creation of a
single administrative unit with a federal structure, bicameral legislature, and special
provisions for minority rights. The proposal was met with mixed reactions and was later
abolished, but it was an important development in the politics of Pakistan during the 1950s.

Constitution Of Pakistan 1956
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 was the first constitution of Pakistan, adopted by the
Constituent Assembly on March 23, 1956. It was in effect until it was abrogated in 1958 by
the martial law regime of General Ayub Khan. The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 had several
key features that defined the political and legal framework of the country at that time.
Federal Structure:
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 provided for a federal structure of government, with a
central government and provinces with a certain degree of autonomy. The Constitution also
provided for a bicameral legislature, consisting of a National Assembly and a Senate.
Islamic Provisions:
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 declared Pakistan as an Islamic Republic and provided for
the incorporation of Islamic principles in the country's legal and political system. It also
provided for the establishment of an Islamic Research Institute to promote Islamic culture
and learning.
Minority Rights:
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 recognized the rights of minority groups in the country and
provided for special measures to protect their rights and interests. The Constitution also
provided for the establishment of a minority commission to promote the rights of minorities.
Fundamental Rights:
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 provided for a set of fundamental rights for citizens,
including the right to life, liberty, and property, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.
The Constitution also provided for the establishment of an independent judiciary to protect
these rights.
Objectives Resolution:
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 was based on the Objectives Resolution, which was passed
by the Constituent Assembly in 1949. The Objectives Resolution affirmed that sovereignty in
Pakistan belongs to God and that the state would be based on the principles of democracy,
freedom, equality, tolerance, and social justice.

Legacy:
The Constitution of Pakistan 1956 was the first constitution of Pakistan and provided the
country with a legal and political framework for its development. However, it was abrogated
in 1958 by the martial law regime of General Ayub Khan and was replaced by a new
constitution in 1962. Nonetheless, the Constitution of Pakistan 1956 was an important step in
the country's history and its legacy continues to be felt in Pakistani politics and society.

PRESIDENT AYUB KHAN
Ayub Khan (1907-1974) was a Pakistani military officer and statesman who served as the
President of Pakistan from 1958 to 1969. He was the first Pakistani military officer to reach
the rank of field marshal and was known as "Field Marshal" Ayub Khan. He played a
significant role in the country's politics during the 1950s and 1960s, and his presidency is
considered to be a period of modernization, economic growth and political stability in
Pakistan.
Ayub Khan joined the British Indian Army in the 1920s and served in the British Indian
Army and later in Pakistan Army. After the independence of Pakistan, he served as the
commander-in-chief of the Pakistani military and played an important role in the country's
political and military affairs. In 1958, he deposed the democratically elected Prime minister,
Iskander Mirza in a military coup and became the President of Pakistan and ruled the country
until 1969.
First Martial Law:
The first martial law in Pakistan had a significant impact on the country's politics and society.
It was a period of military rule that lasted for more than a decade and was marked by
economic growth, modernization and political stability, but also by political repression and a
lack of democracy. The first martial law in Pakistan was imposed by President Iskander
Mirza on October 7, 1958. It was a period of military rule in Pakistan that lasted until 1969,
during which the Pakistani military, led by General Ayub Khan, took control of the
government and suspended the country's constitution and civil liberties.
Causes Of The First Martial Law In Pakistan:
The imposition of the first martial law in Pakistan in 1958 was a result of a complex set of
factors, including political, economic, and social challenges that the country was facing at the
time. Here are some of the major causes of the first martial law in Pakistan:
1) Political Instability:
One of the major causes of martial law in Pakistan was the political instability that the
country was facing in the 1950s. The country's political system was marked by a
power struggle between the government and the opposition parties, and there was a
lack of stability and continuity in the government. The government was unable to
address the country's political, economic, and social challenges, which led to a
growing sense of disillusionment among the population and a lack of confidence in
the government.

2) Economic Challenges:
Another major cause of martial law in Pakistan was the economic challenges that the
country was facing. The economy was struggling, and there were widespread poverty,
unemployment, and inflation. The government was unable to address these
challenges, and the population was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the
government's economic policies.
3) Social and Ethnic Tensions:
Social and ethnic tensions were also a major cause of martial law in Pakistan. The
country was composed of several different ethnic and linguistic groups, and there
were widespread tensions between these groups. The government was unable to
address these tensions, and they were a major source of instability in the country.
4) Role of Military:
The role of the military was also a major cause of martial law in Pakistan. General
Ayub Khan, who was the commander-in-chief of the Pakistani military at the time,
saw the imposition of martial law as a way to address the country's political and
economic challenges and to modernize and industrialize the country. He also saw it as
an opportunity to take control of the government and maintain his power.
5) Role of President:
President Iskander Mirza, who was facing opposition and challenges from political
parties and the military, saw the imposition of martial law as a way to maintain his
power and restore order in the country.
Impact on Politics of Pakistan:
The first martial law in Pakistan, which was imposed in 1958 by President Iskander Mirza
and led by General Ayub Khan, had a significant impact on the country's politics.
i. Political Repression:
One of the most significant impacts of the martial law was the suppression of political
activities and the repression of opposition parties. Political parties were banned, and
political activists were arrested, tortured and exiled. This political repression led to a
lack of democratic institutions and a lack of political freedom in the country.
ii. One-Party Rule:
The martial law led to the establishment of a one-party state, with the military-led
government becoming the sole political force in the country. This led to a lack of
political competition and a lack of accountability for the government.
iii. Economic Growth:
On the other hand, the martial law period saw significant economic growth and
modernization in the country. The government implemented a number of economic
policies aimed at modernizing and industrializing the country, including the
establishment of a mixed economy, land reform, and the construction of large-scale
infrastructure projects such as dams, roads, and power plants. This led to an increase
in the standard of living of the people and economic development of the country.
iv. Political Stability:
The martial law period was marked by a period of political stability, with the
government being able to maintain control over the country and suppress any dissent

or opposition. This stability allowed for the government to implement its policies and
projects smoothly and without interruption.
However, the legacy of the first martial law in Pakistan is mixed. While it led to economic
growth and modernization, it also led to a lack of democracy, political repression, and a lack
of political and civil liberties. The martial law period also established a precedent for military
intervention in politics, which continues to be a significant feature of Pakistani politics to this
day. This period is seen as a missed opportunity for a democratic development of the country,
and it was considered as a step back from the democratic progress that the country had made
till 1958.

THE SECOND CONSTITUTION OF PAKISTAN 1962
The Second Constitution of Pakistan was adopted on 1962, replacing the 1956 Constitution.
It was primarily put in place by the military government of General Ayub Khan. One of the
main changes in the 1962 Constitution was the shift from a parliamentary system to a
presidential system of government. The President, who was to be elected by the National
Assembly, was given extensive powers, including the ability to dismiss the National
Assembly and the Prime Minister. The President also had the power to appoint the Prime
Minister and the Governors of the provinces. The Second Constitution of Pakistan was
adopted on March 23, 1962, and it came into effect on June 8, 1962.
The 1962 Constitution also introduced a unicameral legislature, known as the National
Assembly, which was to consist of 150 members. The Constitution also provided for the
establishment of an advisory body, known as the Presidential Cabinet, which would assist the
President in the exercise of his powers. The Constitution also made significant changes to the
judiciary, providing for the establishment of a Supreme Court, and High Courts for the
provinces. The Constitution also provided for the appointment of a Chief Justice of Pakistan
and Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts by the President.Additionally, the 1962
Constitution also introduced a system of Basic Democracies, which was intended to provide
for a more decentralized system of government. Under this system, local councils were to be
elected at the village and union council level, and these councils would then elect members to
the National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies.
Salient Features of 1962 Constitution:
The 1962 Constitution was intended to be a more progressive and democratic document, with
a greater emphasis on individual rights and freedoms.
1. Presidential System of Government
The Second Constitution of Pakistan established a presidential system of government,
with the President as the head of state and government. The President was to be
elected by the National Assembly and the Provincial Assemblies for a five-year term.

The President had the power to appoint the Prime Minister and other members of the
Cabinet, as well as the judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts.
2. National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies
The Second Constitution of Pakistan established a bicameral legislature, consisting of
the National Assembly and the Provincial Assemblies. The National Assembly was to
consist of 300 members, while the Provincial Assemblies were to consist of members
based on population. Members of the National Assembly and Provincial Assemblies
were to be elected by universal adult suffrage for a five-year term.
3. Fundamental Rights and Freedoms
The Second Constitution of Pakistan recognized a number of fundamental rights and
freedoms for citizens, including the freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. The
Constitution also provided for the protection of minority rights and the equality of all
citizens before the law. Additionally, the Constitution established a number of
institutions to safeguard these rights and freedoms, such as the judiciary and the office
of the Ombudsman.
The Second Constitution of Pakistan was a significant improvement over the 1956
Constitution, as it introduced a more democratic and progressive system of government.
However, it was not able to fully establish a stable democratic system in Pakistan, as it was
soon abrogated by the military government of President Yahya Khan in 1969. Despite its
shortcomings, the 1962 Constitution remains an important milestone in the history of
Pakistan's constitutional development.

AGHA MUHAMMAD YAHYA KHAN
I. Introduction
Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan was the President of Pakistan from 1969 to 1971. His tenure
was marked by significant political, economic, and social changes in the country. Yahya
Khan inherited a country that was facing a number of challenges, and his policies and
decisions had a significant impact on Pakistan's future.
II. Political Turmoil
Yahya Khan's tenure was marked by political turmoil and instability. He inherited a country
that was facing a number of challenges, including a separatist movement in East Pakistan,
which eventually led to the formation of Bangladesh. He also faced opposition from political
parties, particularly the Awami League, which was demanding greater autonomy for East
Pakistan.
III. Military Action in East Pakistan
In an effort to suppress the separatist movement in East Pakistan, Yahya Khan ordered a
military action in the region, which led to widespread violence and human rights abuses. The
military action resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and the displacement of millions
of others. The situation in East Pakistan ultimately led to the separation of East Pakistan and
the formation of Bangladesh.

IV. Economic Challenges

Yahya Khan's tenure was also marked by economic challenges. The country was facing a
severe food crisis, and the economy was in a state of decline. Yahya Khan implemented a
number of economic policies, such as devaluing the currency and increasing taxes, which
aimed to address these challenges. However, these policies were not successful in addressing
the country's economic problems.
V. Political Reforms
Yahya Khan also introduced a number of political reforms during his tenure. He lifted the ban
on political parties, which had been imposed by his predecessor, and called for general
elections in 1970. However, these elections were marred by violence and fraud, and they
ultimately led to further political turmoil and instability.
Conclusion
Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan's tenure as President of Pakistan was marked by significant
political, economic, and social changes. His policies and decisions had a significant impact
on the country's future, and his legacy is still debated today. His military action in East
Pakistan led to the formation of Bangladesh and the human rights abuses were significant.
His economic policies were not successful in addressing the country's economic problems,
and his political reforms ultimately led to further political turmoil and instability.

ELECTIONS OF 1970 IN PAKISTAN
The 1970 election in Pakistan was a significant event in the country's history. It was the first
democratic election held in Pakistan since the country's independence in 1947. The election
was held on December 7, 1970, and resulted in a clear victory for the Awami League, a
political party that represented the Bengali population of East Pakistan.
The Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won 160 out of the 162 seats allocated
to East Pakistan in the National Assembly. This gave them a majority in the assembly and the
right to form a government. However, the West Pakistan-based Pakistan People's Party, led
by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, also won a significant number of seats in the assembly.
The election results were met with great disappointment and frustration by the West Pakistan-
based political and military establishment. They felt that the Awami League's victory would
lead to the domination of East Pakistan over West Pakistan and the marginalization of their
interests.
As a result of this, the military took control of the government and refused to transfer power
to the Awami League. This led to a political crisis and ultimately led to the separation of East
Pakistan and the creation of the independent nation of Bangladesh in 1971.
The election of 1970 was a turning point in Pakistan's history, as it ultimately led to the
separation of East Pakistan and the formation of Bangladesh. It also highlighted the deep-
rooted political and cultural divisions between East and West Pakistan, which ultimately
proved to be unbridgeable.


WAR OF 1971
The War of 1971 between India and Pakistan was a military conflict that took place during
the latter half of 1971. The war was fought between the armed forces of the two countries,
and resulted in the separation of East Pakistan from West Pakistan, leading to the formation
of the independent nation of Bangladesh.
The war was sparked by the political crisis that followed the 1970 election in Pakistan, in
which the Awami League, a political party that represented the Bengali population of East
Pakistan, won a majority of seats in the National Assembly. The military-led government in
West Pakistan refused to transfer power to the Awami League, which led to widespread
protests and civil unrest in East Pakistan. In response, the government in West Pakistan
launched a military operation in East Pakistan, aimed at suppressing the protests and
reasserting control over the region. This led to widespread human rights abuses and a
humanitarian crisis, with millions of Bengalis fleeing to India to escape the violence.
India, which had long supported the Bengali nationalist movement, intervened in the conflict
in support of the Bengali population. Indian armed forces quickly defeated the Pakistani
military, and Bangladesh declared its independence on December 16, 1971.
The war resulted in a significant loss of life, with estimates ranging from 200,000 to
3,000,000 deaths. It also led to the displacement of millions of people, and had a lasting
impact on the political and economic landscape of the region. The war of 1971 marked the
end of united Pakistan and the birth of Bangladesh.
Causes of War:
Here are listed main causes for the war of 1971.
1. Political Causes:
 The Awami League's victory in the 1970 election and the subsequent refusal of
the military and West Pakistan-based political establishment to transfer power to
them.
 The lack of representation and political power for the Bengali population of East
Pakistan, which led to increasing resentment and dissatisfaction with the West
Pakistan-based government.
 The growing demands for autonomy and self-rule for East Pakistan, which were
met with resistance and hostility by the West Pakistan-based government.
2. Economic Causes:
 The disproportionate distribution of resources and economic development
between East and West Pakistan, with the majority of resources and development
concentrated in West Pakistan.
 The exploitation of East Pakistan's resources and industries by West Pakistan,
leading to economic disparities and resentment among the Bengali population.
 The lack of representation and representation in economic decision-making, with
most decisions being made by West Pakistan-based officials without the input or
consent of the Bengali population.

3. Social Causes:
 The cultural and linguistic differences between East and West Pakistan, with
the Bengali population of East Pakistan feeling marginalized and oppressed by
the dominant Urdu-speaking culture of West Pakistan.
 The discrimination and marginalization of the Bengali population in terms of
education, employment, and political representation.
 The forced migration of millions of people between East and West Pakistan,
which led to social upheaval and suffering for those affected.
These factors contributed to the growing discontent and dissatisfaction among the Bengali
population of East Pakistan, which ultimately led to the separation of East Pakistan and the
formation of the independent nation of Bangladesh in 1971.

SEPARATION OF EAST PAKISTAN
The separation of East Pakistan refers to the 1971 events leading to the independence of
Bangladesh from Pakistan. The East Pakistan province, which is now Bangladesh, had a
majority Bengali population but was ruled by the West Pakistan government, which was
dominated by people from the Punjabi and Sindhi regions. This led to political, economic,
and cultural discrimination against the Bengalis, who began to demand greater autonomy and
eventually independence. The situation escalated into a civil war, which ended with the
intervention of the Indian military and the surrender of the West Pakistan army. This led to
the formation of the new nation of Bangladesh.
Political and Economic Factors:
The separation of East Pakistan was primarily driven by political and economic factors. East
Pakistan, which was also known as East Bengal, was the more populous of the two regions of
Pakistan, but it had a weaker economy and was marginalized by the West Pakistani
government. The Awami League, the largest political party in East Pakistan, demanded
greater autonomy and equal representation in government, but these demands were ignored
by the West Pakistani government.
Cultural and Ethnic Factors:
Cultural and ethnic factors also played a role in the separation of East Pakistan. East Pakistan
was primarily Bengali-speaking, while West Pakistan was primarily Urdu-speaking. There
were also deep-seated cultural and ethnic differences between the two regions, and many East
Pakistanis felt that their culture and identity were being suppressed by the West Pakistani
government.
Military Action and Human Rights Abuses:
In an effort to suppress the separatist movement in East Pakistan, the West Pakistani
government ordered a military action in the region, which led to widespread violence and
human rights abuses. The military action resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and the

displacement of millions of others. The situation in East Pakistan ultimately led to the
separation of East Pakistan and the formation of Bangladesh.
International Response:
The separation of East Pakistan was met with international condemnation, and many
countries recognized Bangladesh as an independent state soon after its formation. The United
Nations also passed a resolution condemning the human rights abuses that had taken place
during the conflict.
Impact Of Separtion:
The separation of East Pakistan, which occurred in 1971, had a significant impact on the
political, economic, and social landscape of both Pakistan and Bangladesh. Politically, the
separation led to the formation of the independent nation of Bangladesh, with its own
government and political system. This created a significant shift in power dynamics in the
region, as Pakistan lost a significant portion of its territory and population. The separation
also led to ongoing tensions between the two countries, including disputes over territory and
resources.
Economically, the separation had a negative impact on Pakistan, as East Pakistan was a major
contributor to the country's economy. The loss of this region resulted in a significant decline
in agricultural production, industrial output, and exports. Bangladesh, on the other hand, had
to start from scratch to build its economy and has struggled to develop its infrastructure and
industries.
Socially, the separation led to a mass migration of people between the two countries. Millions
of Bengalis, who were living in East Pakistan, migrated to Bangladesh, while millions of
non-Bengalis, who were living in East Pakistan, migrated to Pakistan. This led to significant
cultural and demographic changes in both countries, and caused a great deal of suffering for
those who were forced to leave their homes and communities.
Overall, the separation of East Pakistan had a significant and far-reaching impact on the
region, affecting political, economic, and social structures and relationships.

STEPS TAKEN BY ZULIFQAR ALI BHUTTO TO DEVELOP THE
INDUSTRY IN PAKISTAN
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1973 until 1977, took several steps
to develop the industry in Pakistan. Bhutto's economic policies were aimed at increasing the
state's control over the economy and reducing the influence of private industrialists.
1. Nationalization of Industries
Nationalization of industries was a major policy implemented by Pakistani Prime Minister
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in the 1970s. The policy aimed to increase the state's control over the
economy and reduce the influence of private industrialists. Bhutto nationalized a number of
key industries, including steel, electricity, and banks. The nationalization of these industries
led to the creation of many new jobs, and it also helped to reduce poverty and inequality. The
nationalization of the steel industry, for example, led to the creation of the Pakistan Steel
Mills, which became one of the country's largest industrial complexes.
Impact on the Economy:
The nationalization of industries had a significant impact on the economy of Pakistan. It led
to the creation of many new jobs and helped to reduce poverty and inequality. It also led to
the development of new industries, such as steel and electricity, which had a positive impact
on the economy. Additionally, nationalization led to greater state control of the economy and
helped to reduce the influence of private industrialists.
Criticism:
However, the nationalization of industries also faced criticism. Some argued that it led to
inefficiencies and a lack of innovation, as state-run industries were not as efficient or

competitive as private industries. There were also concerns that nationalization led to the
creation of a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy, which stifled economic growth.
2. Investment in Heavy Industries
Bhutto also invested heavily in heavy industries such as steel, cement, and fertilizer. This

goods. Additionally, Bhutto established the Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation
(PIDC) to promote industrial development and provide financial assistance to new industrial
projects.

Bhutto also invested heavily in the steel industry, which was a key component of his
industrialization strategy. He established the Pakistan Steel Mills Corporation, which was
intended to be a major producer of steel in the country. The mill was built with the assistance
of the Soviet Union, and it began production in 1985. The steel mill has played an important
role in the development of the country's heavy industries and has provided jobs for thousands
of people.
4. Investment in Power Generation
Another key area of investment by Bhutto was in power generation. He established the Water
and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), which was responsible for the construction of
hydroelectric power plants and the development of water resources in the country. The
WAPDA was intended to help meet the increasing demand for electricity in Pakistan, and it
has played an important role in the country's power generation and distribution.

Bhutto also implemented an import substitution policy aimed at reducing the country's
dependence on imported goods and promoting the development of domestic industries. This
policy led to the establishment of new industries, such as textiles and pharmaceuticals, and
helped to increase the country's industrial capacity.
6. Promotion of Small and Medium Enterprises
Bhutto also promoted the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by
providing financial assistance and tax incentives. This helped to increase the number of new
businesses and create jobs, especially in rural areas.
i. Credit and Financing Programs:
Bhutto also implemented a number of credit and financing programs to support
the growth of SMEs. He established the National Development Finance
Corporation (NDFC) to provide credit and financing to SMEs, and he also
established the Small Industries Development Board (SIDB) to provide technical
assistance and support to SMEs.
ii. Protection of Small Industries:
Bhutto also took steps to protect small industries from competition by large
industries. He imposed import restrictions on certain goods and imposed tariffs on
imported goods to protect domestic industries. He also established the Small
Industries Corporation (SIC) to purchase goods from small industries and sell
them to larger industries and government agencies.

ELECTION OF 1977
The elections of 1977 in Pakistan were held on July 5, 1977, following the end of the
government of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP). The
election was the first held in Pakistan after the separation of East Pakistan and the formation
of Bangladesh in 1971.
The main opposition to the PPP was the Pakistan National Alliance (PNA), a coalition of nine
right-wing and Islamist parties. The PNA campaigned on a platform of opposition to the
PPP's policies, including its socialist economic policies and its perceived corruption.
The election was marred by widespread allegations of vote rigging and manipulation by the
PPP. The PNA and other opposition parties rejected the results, claiming that they had been
rigged in favor of the PPP. This led to widespread protests and civil unrest, and ultimately
resulted in the military taking control of the government and imposing martial law.
The election results were widely criticized both inside and outside of Pakistan, and were seen
as a major setback for democracy in the country. The military government that followed, led

by General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, ruled the country for the next 11 years, and the country
remained under military dictatorship for most of the time.

the end of the first democratic government in Pakistan and the beginning of a long period of
military dictatorship. The election was also a significant setback for democracy and civil

AIR CRASH OF ZIA-UL-HAQ
The air crash of Zia-Ul-Haq was a tragic event that occurred on August 17, 1988, in which
Pakistan's President, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, along with several high-ranking
military officials and the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Arnold Raphel, were killed in a plane
crash.

Islamabad. The plane, a Lockheed C-130 Hercules, was carrying 31 passengers and crew
members, including President Zia, Ambassador Raphel, and several high-ranking military
officials.
The cause of the crash was initially reported as a technical malfunction, but later
investigations revealed that it was a sabotage. The investigation revealed that the plane's
elevator control was tampered with, causing the plane to crash.
The death of President Zia was a major blow to Pakistan, as he had been in power for over a
decade and was a highly influential figure in the country's politics. The crash also resulted in
the deaths of several key military leaders, which had a significant impact on the country's
security and defense establishment.
The crash also had a major impact on U.S.-Pakistan relations, as Ambassador Raphel was the
highest-ranking U.S. official to be killed in an air crash. The U.S. government sent a team of

investigators to Pakistan to determine the cause of the crash and to assist in the recovery
effort.

investment, and privatizing state-owned enterprises.
Additionally, Sharif's government focused on improving infrastructure and promoting
industrial development. This included the construction of several major highways, the
expansion of the railway system, and the development of new industrial parks and special
economic zones. Despite these efforts, the economy continued to struggle, and Sharif's
government was criticized for its slow response to the crisis and lack of decisive action.
Additionally, Sharif's government faced a number of political challenges, including
allegations of corruption and a rising tide of extremism and sectarian violence.
In 1993, Sharif's government was removed from power by President Ghulam Ishaq Khan,
who cited corruption and poor governance as the reasons for his decision. Sharif was later
convicted of corruption charges and sentenced to prison, but his conviction was later
overturned by the Supreme Court.
In 1997, Sharif was elected Prime Minister again, and his second term was marked by a
number of significant events and policies. One of his major achievements during this term
was the signing of the Lahore Declaration, a peace agreement with India aimed at reducing
tensions between the two countries. However, Sharif's second term as Prime Minister was
also marked by a number of challenges, including a rising tide of extremism and sectarian
violence, as well as allegations of corruption. Additionally, Sharif's government was
criticized for its handling of the Kargil War, a military conflict between Pakistan and India in
1999.
In 1999, Sharif's government was removed from power by General Pervez Musharraf, who
cited corruption and poor governance as the reasons for his decision. Sharif was later exiled
to Saudi Arabia.
Overall, the Sharif era in Pakistan was marked by a number of significant events and policies
that had a major impact on the country. While his government achieved some successes, it
also faced a number of challenges and was ultimately removed from power twice due to
allegations of corruption and poor governance. Despite the controversies and allegations of
corruption, Nawaz Sharif remains an important figure in Pakistan's political history and his
contributions to the country are still remembered by many.

THE RISE OF IMRAN KHAN: A NEW ERA IN PAKISTANI POLITICS
Imran Khan, the charismatic leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has become
the Prime Minister of Pakistan after leading his party to victory in the 2018 General
Elections. His rise to power marks a significant shift in Pakistani politics, as he is the first
Prime Minister to come to power without the backing of the traditional political elite.
Early Life and Career
Imran Khan was born in Lahore, Pakistan in 1952. He comes from a wealthy and well-
educated family, and his father was a successful businessman and philanthropist. Khan

attended the prestigious Aitchison College in Lahore, and then went on to study at Oxford
University in the United Kingdom. He later returned to Pakistan and became a professional
cricketer, representing the Pakistani national team from 1971 to 1992. He was known for his
aggressive and competitive spirit on the field, and was widely regarded as one of the best all-
rounders in the world.
Political Career
After retiring from cricket, Khan decided to enter politics. In 1996, he founded the PTI party,
which quickly gained popularity among young and educated Pakistanis who were
disillusioned with the traditional political elite. The party campaigned on a platform of anti-
corruption, transparency, and good governance.
In the early years of his political career, Khan struggled to gain traction in the Pakistani
political landscape. He faced significant opposition from established political parties, and his
party was often dismissed as a fringe group. However, he persisted and slowly built a
grassroots movement that attracted a growing number of supporters.
In 2013, Khan led a massive anti-government protest movement that brought the capital city
of Islamabad to a standstill. The movement, which was called the "Azadi March," called for
the resignation of the then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and for free and fair elections.
While the movement ultimately failed to achieve its goals, it helped to raise Khan's profile
and cemented his status as a major political figure in Pakistan.
Leading up to the 2018 General Elections, Khan campaigned tirelessly, criss-crossing the
country to rally support for his party. He promised to create jobs, build a "new Pakistan," and
tackle corruption. His message resonated with the public, and he was able to build a coalition
of supporters from different backgrounds and regions.
Rule of Imran Khan
In July 2018, the PTI emerged as the largest party in the National Assembly, winning 115
seats. Khan was elected as Prime Minister, and he immediately set out to deliver on his
campaign promises.
One of his first actions as Prime Minister was to tackle corruption. He set up a high-powered
commission to investigate corruption allegations against political figures, and announced that
all government officials would have to declare their assets. He also announced that the
government would focus on creating jobs and promoting economic growth.
Khan has also focused on improving relations with neighbouring countries. He has called for
peace and dialogue with India, and has tried to improve relations with Afghanistan.
Khan has also taken a strong stance on poverty and social issues. He has announced a major
poverty alleviation program, and has also announced plans to build low-cost housing for the
poor. He has also announced plans to establish schools and hospitals in rural areas.
Conclusion
The rise of Imran Khan and the PTI party represents a major shift in Pakistani politics. For
the first time, a party that is not backed by the traditional political elite has come to power.
Khan has promised to bring about change and tackle the issues that have plagued Pakistan for
decades, such as corruption and poverty.

PAKISTAN DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT (PDM)
The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) is an opposition alliance in Pakistan that was
formed in September 2020. The alliance is made up of 11 political parties, including the
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Awami National
Party (ANP), and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F). The alliance was formed to challenge the
government of Prime Minister Imran Khan and the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
party.
The PDM has accused the PTI government of widespread corruption, economic
mismanagement, and political repression. The alliance has also called for the immediate
resignation of Prime Minister Imran Khan and the holding of fresh elections.
In October 2020, the PDM held its first major rally in Gujranwala, where leaders of the
alliance addressed a large crowd of supporters. The rally was attended by thousands of
people, and it was a significant show of strength for the opposition alliance.
Since then, the PDM has held several rallies across the country, including in Lahore, Quetta,
and Karachi. These rallies have been attended by large crowds of people, and have been seen
as a sign of growing public discontent with the PTI government.
The PDM has also announced a long march towards Islamabad to protest against the
government. The march was planned to take place on January 11th, 2021 but it was delayed
due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Parties in PDM
he Pakistan Democratic Movement or PDM is led by Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman. The
coalition was formed from 11 political parties which are as follows:

THE KASHMIR PROBLEM
Kashmir is a region located in the northernmost part of the Indian subcontinent. It has been
the subject of a long-standing dispute between India and Pakistan since the two countries
gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947. The dispute exists on the question of
whether Kashmir should be part of India or Pakistan. Both countries claim the region in its
entirety, but currently, it is divided between them with India controlling the largest portion
and Pakistan controlling a smaller portion, with a small area controlled by China.
Introduction:
The Kashmir dispute is a long-standing territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over
the region of Jammu and Kashmir. The conflict has its roots in the partition of British India in
1947, when the Hindu-majority region of Jammu and Kashmir was given the choice to join
either Hindu-majority India or Muslim-majority Pakistan. The ruler of the region at the time,
Maharaja Hari Singh, initially chose to remain independent, but eventually acceded to India
after a tribal invasion from Pakistan.
Historical background:
The dispute over the region has been a major source of tension between India and Pakistan
since the partition of British India in 1947. The region has been the cause of two major wars
between the two countries in 1947-1948 and 1965, as well as numerous clashes and crises.
The situation in the region remains tense to this day, with both countries claiming the region
as their own and engaging in a ongoing dispute over its status.
The Current Situation:
Currently, India and Pakistan both control different parts of the region, with India controlling
the majority of the territory, including the region's largest city, Srinagar. Pakistan controls a
smaller portion of the region, which it refers to as Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and also claims
the northern territory of Gilgit-Baltistan. The Line of Control (LOC) is the de facto border
between the two countries, it has been the site of frequent clashes between Indian and
Pakistani troops, with both sides accusing the other of violating the ceasefire.
The International Community:
The international community has been involved in the Kashmir dispute in various ways. The
United Nations has passed several resolutions calling for a plebiscite to determine the will of
the people of the region, but these resolutions have not been implemented. The U.S. and other
countries have attempted to mediate the dispute, but without significant success.
Additionally, many countries have expressed concern over the human rights situation in the
region and the potential for escalating tensions between India and Pakistan to lead to a wider
conflict.

United Nations Stance On Kashmir:

The United Nations (UN) has taken a stance on the Kashmir dispute between India and
Pakistan. The UN has passed several resolutions calling for a plebiscite to determine the will
of the people of the region. The first resolution was passed in 1948, which called for a
ceasefire and a plebiscite to be held under the supervision of the UN. However, the resolution
was not implemented due to disagreements between India and Pakistan on the terms of the
plebiscite.
The UN also established a UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP)
in 1949 to monitor the ceasefire, which is still active today. The organization has consistently
called for the resolution of the dispute through peaceful means and has urged both India and
Pakistan to respect the ceasefire. Despite the UN's efforts, the situation in the region remains
tense. The UN has expressed concern over the human rights situation in the region and the
potential for escalating tensions between India and Pakistan to lead to a wider conflict. In
recent years, the UN has also urged both India and Pakistan to engage in dialogue to resolve
the dispute.
The UN has also been critical of the Indian government's decision in August 2019 to abrogate
the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, and reduce it to two Union Territories, the UN has
called for the restoration of the rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and for the Indian
government to respect the human rights of the people of the region.
Solution of Kashmir Dispute:
The solution of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan is a complex and contentious
issue that has been the subject of ongoing debate and negotiation for decades. There is no
consensus on the best way to resolve the dispute, and a number of different proposals have
been put forward over the years.
One possible solution is a negotiated settlement between India and Pakistan, which could
involve a number of different elements such as a demilitarization of the region, a power-
sharing agreement between the two countries, and an autonomy for the region's inhabitants.
This could be done through bilateral talks or with the help of a third-party mediator, such as
the United Nations or another international organization.
Another solution is the plebiscite, which would give the people of the region the opportunity
to determine their own future. The United Nations has passed several resolutions calling for a
plebiscite to be held under UN supervision, but this has yet to be implemented due to
disagreements between India and Pakistan on the terms of the plebiscite.
Another solution is self-determination, which would allow the people of the region to decide
their own future through a democratic process. This could involve the creation of an
independent state, or the option for the people of the region to join either India or Pakistan.
A fourth solution is the Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) this solution could be
focused on reducing tensions between India and Pakistan, and promoting greater economic
and cultural cooperation between the two countries. This could include measures such as
increasing trade and economic ties, improving communication and transportation links, and
promoting cultural exchanges.

Conclusion:
The Kashmir problem is a complex and longstanding dispute with no easy solution. The
region has been the cause of numerous conflicts and tensions between India and Pakistan, and
continues to be a major source of tension in the region. Both countries claim the region as
their own and have been engaged in a ongoing dispute over its status. The international
community has attempted to mediate the dispute, but without significant success. The
situation in the region remains tense, with the potential for escalating tensions between India
and Pakistan to lead to a wider conflict. A peaceful solution is needed for the stability and
security in the region and for the betterment of the people of Kashmir.

THE KASHMIR PROBLEM IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE DURABLE
PEACE IN THE SOUTH ASIAN REGION
The Kashmir dispute is a long-standing territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over
the region of Jammu and Kashmir. The conflict has its roots in the partition of British India in
1947, when the Hindu-majority region of Jammu and Kashmir was given the choice to join
either Hindu-majority India or Muslim-majority Pakistan. The situation in the region remains
tense to this day, with both countries claiming the region as their own and engaging in a
ongoing dispute over its status. However, resolving the Kashmir dispute is essential for
achieving durable peace in the South Asian region.
Historical Background And Current Situation:
The dispute over the region has been a major source of tension between India and Pakistan
since the partition of British India in 1947. The region has been the cause of two major wars
between the two countries in 1947-1948 and 1965, as well as numerous clashes and crises.
The current situation is that India and Pakistan both control different parts of the region, with
India controlling the majority of the territory, including the region's largest city, Srinagar.
Pakistan controls a smaller portion of the region, which it refers to as Azad Jammu and
Kashmir, and also claims the northern territory of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Importance Of Resolving The Kashmir Dispute:
Resolving the Kashmir dispute is essential for achieving durable peace in the South Asian
region for several reasons:
i. Nuclear Deterrence:
The Kashmir dispute is a major source of tension between India and Pakistan, both of which
are nuclear-armed countries. The unresolved dispute has the potential to escalate into a
nuclear conflict, which would have devastating consequences for the entire region.
ii. Humanitarian Crisis:
The dispute has led to human rights abuses, forced displacement, and a lack of access to basic
services for the people of the region. A resolution of the dispute would improve the human
rights situation and help to alleviate the suffering of the people of the region.
iii. Economic Development:

The ongoing tension between India and Pakistan has hindered economic development in the
region. A resolution of the dispute would improve trade and economic relations, which would
benefit both countries and the region as a whole.
iv. Regional Stability:
The unresolved dispute has had a negative impact on regional stability, and has prevented the
countries of the region from working together to address common challenges such as poverty,
extremism, and climate change.
Conclusion:
The Kashmir dispute is a complex and longstanding issue that requires a multi-faceted
approach that takes into account the needs and aspirations of all parties involved. A peaceful
resolution is essential for achieving durable peace in the South Asian region and for the
betterment of the people of Kashmir. The international community, including the United
Nations, should actively support the efforts of India and Pakistan to find a peaceful solution
to the dispute.
