Ideology Ideology means origin, evolution and nature of ideas. It is a set of ideas on which political, cultural, social or economic system is based. Ideology is a set of beliefs, values and ideal a group or a nation subscribe to, this set of principles or ideals has to been ingrained over a period of time in the social consciences of the society.

“Ideology is a set of ideas with a mission’’

Elements of IdeologyThere are five elements of ideology which are given as;

Significance of Ideology Ideology of Pakistan provides the base of, creation of Pakistan, base of unity Muslims and provide base for strong political achievements.

Conclusion Existence of nation is endangered, if ideas are ignored Ideas regulate national rights and duties of citizens Ideas provide discipline in life

NationThe word “Nation” is derived from Latin route “NATUS” of “NATIO” which means “Birth” of “Born”. Therefore, Nation implies homogeneous population of the people who are organized and blood-related. We can define nation as a people who have some common attributes of race, language, religion or culture and united and organized by the state and by common sentiments and aspiration. A nation becomes so only when it has a spirit or feeling of nationality.

NationalityNation and Nationality differ in their meaning although they were used interchangeably. A nation is a people having a sense of oneness among them and who are politically independent. In the case of nationality it implies a psychological feeling of unity among a people, but also sense of oneness among them. The sense of unity might be an account, of the people having common history and culture. But nationality largely requires the element of political independence either achieved or aspired. Secondly, a nation must have a political organization of passionate desire for such an organization. But a nationality is a political, cultural, spiritual and unified community of a people.

Two Nation TheoryThe two-nation theory in its simplest way means that cultural, political, religious, economic and social dissimilarities between the two major communities, Hindus and Muslims of the Sub-continent. The two-nation theory means that the Hindus and the Muslims are two different nations. On the basis of two-nation theory the Quaid-e-Azam demanded the partition of India into two states, a Muslim state to be called Pakistan and the other Hindu India that is Bharat.

Moreover, he also knew that the Muslims and the Hindus were unable to live together because they were having different culture, religion, language, customs, heroes, civilizations.

Moreover, the Hindus deny to eat, drink, talk and workship along with the Muslims because the Hindus were polytheist and the Muslims were monotheist (Touheed and Risalat)

Through Tehzeeb-ul-Ikhlaq magazine he tried to remove the bad social values from Muslims.

He wrote several articles for purification of Muslims and tried to minimize the class difference among Muslims.

Religious ServicesThe religious services of Sir Sayed were;

Response to William Muir (a Christian writer) book “Life of Muhammad (P.B.U.H)’’ by writing a book “Kutbat-e-Ahmediyah”

Wrote “Tabeen-e-Alkalam” a commentary on Bible in a philosophical style and explained the similarities between the Islam and Christianity with solid argument.

Tried to combine religion with Islam because religion and Islam both believe in logic and reason.

Allama IqbalAllama Iqbal was a great poet, philosopher, writer and a politician. Iqbal had a sensitive heart and a deep thinking inquisitive mind. He was the first important figure who presented the idea of a separate electorate on the basis of “Two Nation Theory”. He provided practical implication to idea of Pakistan which existed in the minds of Muslim political leadership. He said, “Islam is a state” which means that Islam and state are inter-related and interdependent to each other (one cannot exist without another). He gave the idea of millet and Muslim Ummah. Allama Iqbal served as bridge between Sir Sayed and Jinnah. Allama Iqbal delivered historical address at Allahabad. He said, “The units of Indian society are not territorial as in the European countries. India is a continent of human groups belonging to different races, speaking different languages and professing different religions. Their behavior is not at all determined by a common race-consciousness”.

Presidential AddressIn his presidential address to the Allahabad session of the Muslim League in 1930 he said, “Personally I would go further___ I would like to see the Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and KPK amalgamated into a single state. Self-government within the British Empire or without the British Empire, the formation of a single consolidated North-west India-Muslims state appears to me the final destiny of the Muslims at least of North-west India. In short the prophecy of Iqbal acted as a spur for the Muslims of India who carved out an independent state Pakistan for themselves.

Quaid-e-Azam (Jinnah)Jinnah is known as the father of Pakistani nation, who brought unity among Muslims and united them at the platform of All India-Muslim League. The whole struggle for creation of Pakistan revolves around the personality of Jinnah. Jinnah expounded the “Two Nation Theory” in such a

Page 5: Pk studies

detail that most of the Muslims and even Hindus came to believe in its truth. He said, “Muslims are not a minority, they are one nation by every definition of the word nation. By every definition of the world, by all canons of international law we are a nation”. Jinnah was a firm advocate of “Two Nation Theory”. He gave Muslims the status of a separate nation in every respect. He said, “Muslims are a nation, they had a separate homeland, territory and a state.

Presidential Address In his presidential address on 23rd March 1940, he said, “the Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs, and literatures. They have different epics, heroes and different episodes. It would be better for the British government to announce the partition of the subcontinent by keeping in view the interest of the two nation.

“Jinnah was the greatest champion of minorities”. (Nelson Mandela)
