Pakistan was an idea; it did not have history. It is different from other Muslim countries with a history rooted in geography, which do not have to depend on religion to define national identity. The role of ideology was bound to be strong in such a state. The idea of a distinct identity for Muslims of the sub-continent was shaped by Syed Ahmad Khan, Iqbal and Jinnah. Maududi, the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami, initially opposed the demand for Pakistan. Why did he change his position later?
Did Lahore resolution call for more than one state? Mujibur Rehman has referred to this controversy in his Unfinished Memoires.
What lay behind Jinnah’s famous speech of 11th August 1947?
What are the causes of the Baloch, Pashtun, and Muhajir discontent?
Pakistan Army considers itself as the custodian of the ideology of Pakistan. Imran has challenged the Army’s legitimacy. What drives Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine, Afghanistan and J&K policies – ideology or strategy?
Will Pakistan escape the trap of ideology to survive its deepening economic crisis and political polarisation? Or faith has trumped reason?
The book Pakistan: Ideologies, Strategies and Interests by Dinkar P. Srivastava explores
these questions.
