Ideology of Pakistan
Ideology of Pakistan
Pakistan came into being on 14th August 1947. The Muslims of India had scarifies their wealth
honor & life to make a Pakistan reality. Struggle for attainment of Pakistan started very after the
war of independence 1857.
in separate religion, practice different traditions, and have their own history and their cultural
heritage. Their claim was absolutely true. It was their right to keep their separate entity alive and
to enjoy all human rights. This was not possible in undivided India.
6. Establishment of Islamic State:
Islam is a complete code of life. The Muslims wanted to implement the system practically. This
could not be attained in United India therefore, they passed a resolution and demanded an
Islamic state in the North East and North West of South Asia.
7. Setting up of True Islamic Society:
Islam upholds the golden principles of freedom, justice, brotherhood and equality but living for
centuries with the Hindu community, the Muslims were gradually ignoring, consciously or
unconsciously, these principles. Islam gives guidance for individual as well as collective life. It
has its own principles such as ban on usuary, gambling, to refrain from all unlawful means of
income and expenditure. Again extravagance is regarded devilish. The rights of the neighbours
are stressed which results in social security to all. God-fearing and belief in the Hereafter are the
basis for the social life of the Muslims.
8. Dream of Muslims to get freedom:
Due to the ill treatment of Hindus and British the Muslims also wanted to get freedom and
established their own Govt. in the sub continent because the freedom is right of every nation and
the country. For this reason they demanded Pakistan.
9. Narrow Mindedness of Hindus:
The Hindu community‟s narrow mindedness could be gauged from the fact that they do not feel
ashamed of idol worship during the 20th century even. The women are considered slaves. They
do not recognize the right of second marriage for the widow. They consider themselves much
superior to the people of their own race. The Hindus declare a thing polluted if it has been
touched by a Muslim. There was a concept of caste systems in the Hindus itself. There was only
one way of Muslim‟s deliverance from such a narrow-minded and prejudiced community, and
that was a separate state comprising the provinces of Muslim majority, and as such they
demanded a separate homeland.
10. To get rid of the British:
After the war of independence (1857), the British maltreated the Muslims. Political rights of the
Muslims were snatched. Doors of new jobs were closed and also the Muslims were deprived of
their jobs and were deprived of their property (estates). There was no social status for the
Muslims. So they demanded separate homeland.
After the formation of Mahasabha and its entrance into politics, prejudiced movements like
Shuddhi and Sangthan were born. Riots occurred here and there. They extinguished the fire of
revenge by dishonouring the mosques or attacking Moharram processions. The daily increase in
riots had given a warning to the Muslims. It is rightly remarked that the last 25 years were spent
in Hindu-Muslim civil war. Its cure was no other than the creation of Pakistan in the Muslim
majority provinces so that the daily occurrences of riots may come to an end. The Muslims may
enjoy the peaceful conditions in a separate state of their own.
12. Islamic Culture and Civilization:
Success of congress in elections of 1937 and capturing the leadership was an enough proof that
the Hindus wanted to demolish Muslim civilization and culture. Every now and then new
intrigues were hatched to destroy the Muslim‟s religious values. The breeding of cows and to
worship them was the reckoned culture of Hindustan. The Hindu community was planning to
prevail upon Muslims in their customs and ceremonies. The Muslim ceremonies were interfered
whereas the Hindu festivals of Diwali, Lorhis, Dasehra were celebrated with great pomp and
show. In short, if India were not divided, this country would have become a pure Hindu State and
the next generation of Muslims would have been Muslim only by name, but it would have been
impossible for the Muslims to follow Islam practically.
13. Deliverance from Economic Exploitation:
The Hindus community was not contented with the political rule; it was determined to worsen
the condition of the minorities economically. But especially they wanted to take revenge from
the Muslims for their past defeats. Under the patronage of the English, the Hindus were made the
owners of the land. They were encouraged in trade and commerce also. Only the trade of hydes
and skins remained with the Muslims. They were encouraged in the trade of shining nature, or
some factory, and that belonged to a Muslims, they started cut throat competitions. So after being
disheartened the Muslims had to leave the factory or trade. The Muslims had seen this state of
affairs for years till they reached the conclusion that where the problems were settled by the
votes of majority, it was hardly possible to live along with the prejudiced and cruel Hindu
majority. The sole aim of the Hindus was to re-convert the Muslims to Hinduism and absorb
them in that religion. So there was no room left for the Muslims except demanding a separate
independent homeland, for themselves.
20. Muslim Unity:
Muslims were dispersed in the 20th century especially after the failure of Khilafat movement.
The Muslims wanted to become united again because unity is also the basic teaching of Islam.
But the unity of the Muslim world cannot be possible without the creation of Pakistan.
In short the Muslims demanded a separate state only because of their worse conditions and to
save their national integrity.
