Useless arguments. You should take this struggle more holistically which spans over 200 years. The ideology of Pakistan stems from the instinct of the Muslim community of South Asia to maintain their individuality by resisting all attempts by the Hindu society to absorb it. Muslims of South Asia believe that Islam and Hinduism are not only two religions, but also two social orders that have given birth to two distinct cultures with no similarities. A deep study of the history of this land proves that the differences between Hindus and Muslims were not confined to the struggle for political supremacy, but were also manifested in the clash of two social orders. Despite living together for more than a thousand years, they continued to develop different cultures and traditions. Their eating habits, music, architecture and script, are all poles apart. Even the language they speak and the dresses they wear are entirely different.
The ideology of Pakistan took shape through an evolutionary process. Historical experience provided the base; with Sir Syed Ahmad Khan began the period of Muslim self-awakening; Allama Iqbal provided the philosophical explanation; Quaid-i-Azam translated it into a political reality; and the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, by passing Objectives Resolution in March 1949, gave it legal sanction. It was due to the realization of Muslims of South Asia that they are different from the Hindus that they demanded separate electorates. When they realized that their future in a 'Democratic India' dominated by Hindu majority was not safe; they put forward their demand for a separate state. This is Pakistan.
Muslims and Hindus might have dissimilar cultures in sub-continent. eating habits, architecture and script might be different, But that does not make them two nations, it makes them followers of two religions. You seems to think as if there is nothing similar. My point was the although people might debate that basis of paksitan is two nation theory but it is not needed today. Do muslims need another country? But the harm of repeated rhetoric of two nation theory is that this countrys minorities feel marginalise since 2 nation theory basis that this country was made by muslims and it is for muslim and other religious minorities are second class citisens, dimmis or indian spys. Thats the point. You can never achieve social justice, economic uplift, if some portion of the society feel detach and majority is idol and corrupt. My comments are useless but perhaps the policy speech of Quaid that I quoted, is of some worth but You did not have the audacity to comment on that. As I said its easier to ingor than understand it. This speech is already in the dust bins. Dont thank me.
