EARLY PROBLEMS OF PAKISTAN

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

 The Indians wanted to create as many problems for Pakistan as they could to
take the revenge of this partition.
 They were having a miss-conception in their mind that due to these problems
the Muslims of newly born Pakistan would be sick of this liberty & they would
comeback & join with India again.

GEOGRAPHICAL PROBLEM

 We got two parts East Pakistan (Bengal & Sylhet) & West Pakistan (Sindh,
Punjab, and Baluchistan& NWFP).
 The Princely states like Swat, Chitral, Dir, Amb, Hunza, Gilgit, & Bhawalpur
also joined Pakistan.
 It was not having clear borders.
 Both the parts were far away from each other nearly 1000 miles apart with
the Indian Territory in between.
 Karachi was declared as capital of Pakistan so it was very difficult for West
Pakistan to control East Pakistan.
 Bengal & Punjab were the largest Muslim areas but except religion there was
nothing similar between them.
 This problem had no solution.

FORMATION OF GOVERNMENT

 India inherited a set of government while we had to start from scratch.

 India had members of Congress who were well versed to run the govt. while
in Pakistan the members of Constituent Assembly were mostly landlords &
they were unaware of political & administrative machinery.
 After the partition many skilled & qualified people were left in India, which
caused great problem to run the govt. machinery.
 Jinnah made special arrangements to solve this problem & he sent special
trains to take the qualified people back.
 An agreement with TATA Air of India was also signed for this purpose.
 Jinnah hired private buildings for govt. offices.
 He himself became the Governor General of Pakistan & Liaquat Ali Khan was
given the post of Prime Minister of Pakistan.

DIVISION OF ARMED & MILITARY ASSETS

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

 The British C-in-C Field Marshal Auchinleck wanted the unity of Indian
armed forces.
 On the insistence of Muslim League C-in-C on 3rd June 1947 was entrusted to
dividing the armed forces and army assets.
 The assets were to be divided with a ratio of 36% and 64% between Pakistan
and India.
 At that time 16 Ordinance factories were present in India and none was
given to Pakistan.
 It was decided that the Muslim regiment would go to Pakistan & the Hindu
regiment to India.
 Pakistan Army consisted of 150,000 men 4,000 officers were needed but
only 2,500 officers were present.
 Jinnah was forced to take 500 British Officers temporarily.
 The equipments that were given to Pakistan were mostly in shabby condition.
 The machinery was obsolete and out of order.
 Pakistan got 60 Million Rupees and an ordinance factory was established at
Wah Cantt.
 Quaid gave special commissions to Pakistani cadets & the time period of
training also reduced to get more officers.
 Due to this unjust & delayed delivery of military assets & armed forces
Pakistan became so weak from defense point of view.
 Pakistan (6 armour divisions, 8 artillery divisions and 8 infantry divisions)
 India (14 armour divisions, 40 artillery divisions and 21 infantry divisions)

WHY DIVISION OF ARMED FORCES A PROBLEM FOR PAKISTAN?

 The muslim soldiers opted for Pakistan while non-muslims joined India. But
there was a great shortage of army officers because the number of muslim
army officers in british army was very small in comparison to hindu army
officers.
 Large army stores were located on Indian side. India was very unfair in the
division of army equipment and supplies. The military equipment which was
sent to Pakistan mostly consisted of obsolete, damaged damaged and
unusable material.
 Field Marshal Auchinleck who supervised the division of armed forces
resigned before completing the job. Pakistan could not get its rightful share
and division of assets proved to be a problem for Pakistan. Pakistan could not

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

get any ordinance factory out of 16. Only 6 armour divisons were given out of

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

20, only 8 artillery divisions were given out of 48 and only 8 infantry
divisions out of 29.

DIVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

 At the time of partition there was a cash balance of 4 billion rupees, in

Reserve Bank of India.
 Pakistan’s share was 750 million rupees.
 First installment of 200 million rupees was given but on the advice of Sardar
Patel the remaining amount was not given to Pakistan due to Kashmir problem.
 They thought that Pakistan would get weapons & they would be used against
them.
 They demanded that Pakistan should stop fighting in Kashmir & wanted to
make Pakistan bankrupt by stopping the finance.
 Gandhi was determined that the division of assets should be fair and took
steps to persuade India to pay due money. He used the threat of hunger
strike.
 Due to Gandhi’s threat of hunger strike 500 million rupees were given to
Pakistan and 50 million rupees have not been paid yet.

ECONOMICAL PROBLEM

 Pakistan was an undeveloped country. Karachi was the only developed port
city along with other 7 cities with more than 100,000 people otherwise about
90% people were living in villages. It was a poor country because its major
industries, agriculture were not developed to meet the requirements of
industrialization.
 In 1947 East Pakistan was producing about 70% of the world’s Jute which
was a source of foreign exchange earning but due to partition Pakistan could
not get even a single Jute mill &they all were located in India.
 10% of industrial enterprises, 6.5% of industrial workers, 5% electrical
capacity and 10% of mineral deposits were only provided to Pakistan.
 Jinnah sent delegations & asked for the funds from other foreign countries
and asked the government to set up the State Bank of Pakistan on 1 stJuly
1948.
 In 1948 Jinnah's Industrial Policy made it essential to increase
industrialization quick & to attract the local investors.
 Jinnah also made a temporary agreement with India regarding Canal Water
to increase the efficiency of the agro – based industries of Pakistan.

REFUGEE PROBLEM
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

 It was perhaps the biggest migration of the world history because millions of
people were migrating from India to Pakistan or the other direction.
 Some of the worst scene of communal violence were observed in which about
one million people lost their lives &millions were made homeless.
 At the time of partition the Hindus and Sikhs had chalked out a plan for the
massacre of Muslim refugees migrating to Pakistan.
 They slaughtered the migrants in cold blood.
 Women were raped and young girls were abducted.
 Children were killed in front of parents & the people in trains were
slaughtered. When these refugees reached Pakistan they put a burden on its
economy and there was a shortage of doctors and medicines.
 Jinnah shifted his head quarter from Karachi to Lahore to keep an eye
directly on the migration.
 He also announced “Quaid-e-Azam Relief Fund” in which the rich people
gave charity to help the poor.
 Satellite towns were also established to give shelter to the homeless people.

WHY WAS PAKISTAN FACED WITH A REFUGEE PROBLEM?

 The Boundary Award had made the problems worse between the two. Since
Pakistan had become independent so Muslims were leaving India for their
homeland, often with little or no possessions. The boundary division was
unjust; a number of Muslim-majority areas like Gurdaspur and Ferozpur were
given to India where the Muslims were not feeling secure. They were now
vulnerable to the barbarities of Hindus and Pakistan was unable to help them
across the border. They therefore left their homes, land and businesses and
joined the migrating caravans towards Pakistan. This burdened the newly
established govt of Pakistan.
 Many parts of India had already seen worst scenes of Hindu-Muslim riots
just before partition in 1947. The Hindus and Sikhs in Eastern Punjab were
particularly fully charged with anti-Muslim sentiments. In such areas, a large
number of Muslims were ruthlessly killed; entire Muslim villages were
destroyed. Women were disrespected and even children were slaughtered.
There were reports that local Indian authorities were also supporting the
violent Hindu mobs. Under such circumstances, the Muslims had no option
except to seek refuge in a safe place and therefore they migrated to
Pakistan on large scale to escape the brutalities of Hindus.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

 When the Muslim ruler of Junagadh, a Hindu-majority area, decided to join

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

Pakistan, India forcibly took over its territories putting the Muslims at risk
to communal violence. Similarly, Kashmir had about 85% Muslim population
but when its Hindu maharajah decided to join India, fighting broke out
against him. These incidents further intensified the movement of refugees
to Pakistan.
 Since partition was made on the religious lines, a number of Muslims
migrated willingly to Pakistan. They could manage to move some of their
belongings along with them. They liked to live in a Muslim country.

ACCOMODATION PROBLEM

 It was considered as one of the biggest migrations in the history of the

world in which millions of people were migrating from one country to another.
 At that time there was a shortage of houses for the people & there were no
buildings to establish various offices.
 Furniture and stationary to run the offices work were also not available.
 Quaid took special steps in this direction the govt. offices were established
in private buildings and even army barracks were also used for this purpose.

SOCIAL PROBLEMS

 Pakistan was a country which was, consisted of five different communities

namely Pakhtoons, Baluchis, Sindhi, Punjabi & Bengali.
 It was like a country with five different nations who were having different
languages, customs, traditions and lifestyles.
 Only Islam was the common feature among them.
 When Urdu was chosen as the national language it was very difficult for
many people to understand it.
 It created a problem for the govt. to create a national integrity among these
group of people.
 Provincialism & racialism were spread among the people by Indian Agents.
 Jinnah visited many areas & in his speeches he urged the people that they
should think as Pakistan only.
 He also chose Urdu as national language of Pakistan.

CANAL WATER DISPUTE

 In 1947 Punjab was divided in to east and west Punjab.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

 The unnatural division of Punjab by Radcliffe award created many problems

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

for the state of Pakistan.

 The head works were given to India while its drained areas became of part
of Pakistan.
 In 1948, India threatened Pakistan to stop water from these head work
causing a dire threat of famine and loss of crops in west Punjab.
 Bilateral negotiations started but failed due to non-cooperative behavior of
India.
 This problem was resolved through the mediation of World Bank.
 In 1960 an agreement was signed known as “Indus Water Treaty”.
 Under this treaty Pakistan was given rights of Indus, Jehlum and Chenab and
India was given Ravi, Satluj & Beas.
 During the transitional period Pakistan was expected to construct two dams,
five barrages, one gated siphon and eight link canals.
 The construction cost was to be met by Australia, Canada, USA, UK,
Germany and New Zealand.
 India was also expected to pay some of the cost.
 The remaining amount was to be met by Pakistan.
 WAPDA (water and power development authority) was entrusted to
supervise the project.
 This treaty was very important for Pakistan because it was a newly born
agriculture country and it had to meet the growing demand of food due to
refugees and other problems.
 This problem was created because Indians wanted to destroy the economy of
Pakistan, create a food crisis and to control water head works.
 This treaty was more important for Pakistan.

EXPLAIN THREE REASONS FOR CANAL WATER DISPUTE

 The Partition of Punjab was the main reason of the canal water dispute. Had
Punjab not been partitioned, this problem would not have risen.
 Besides that the unjust Radcliffe award gave the muslim majority districts
of Gurdaspur and Ferozpur to India. The canal headwork on River Ravi
(Madhopur Headwork) and on River Sutlej (Ferozpur Headwork) were given
to India while canals coming out of these headworks flowed into Pakistan.
Had the muslim majority districts of Gurdaspur and Ferozpur been given to
Pakistan, this dispute would not have occurred.
 Most important, India had promised not to interfere with the water of these
rivers which were vital for irrigation of west Punjab. But on 1 st April 1948

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

India stopped the supply of water of these canals and the dispute started.

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

India claimed that since the headworks fell in their territory, they had the
sole right to use water of these headworks. Pakistan claimed that under
International law, Pakistan had the right to use the waters because its
agriculture and economy are depended upon it.

ACCESSION OF PRINCELY STATES

 At the time of partition there were about 462 princely states, which
covered 1/3 of territory and quarter population of India.
 These princely states we ruled by Indian princes and were internally
independent but under British govt. to their defence and foreign affairs.
 Till 15thAugust 1947 all princely states except Junagadh, Kashmir and
Hyderabad, had joined Pakistan or India.

JUNAGADH

 It is 300 miles South of Karachi.

 The ruler was Muslim with a title NawabKhanji, but the population was Hindu
and non-Muslims.
 Junagadh announced their accession with Pakistan but Mountbatten opposed
it.
 Indian government refused to accept the accession.
 An economic blockade of junagadh was imposed and state was surrounded by
Indian provinces. There was food shortage.
 By end of October 1947 ruler of Junagadh was forced to leave the state.
 On November 1947 Indian army occupied the state ignoring the protest of
Pakistani government.
 Pakistani took the matter in UNO which is stiil unresolved.

HYDERABAD (DECCAN)

 Its area was 82,000 sq.miles and thickly populated with about 160 million
people.
 The ruler was Muslim and called “NIZAN” but the Hindus and non-Muslims
were in majority.
 Indian Territory surrounded it so Mountbatten urged Nizam to join with
India but Nizam wanted to join with Pakistan.
 It was a rich state with a revenue 160 million rupees.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

 In August 1948 Hyderabad filed a complaint in UNO but Indian forces

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

entered Hyderabad and after a brief resistance Hyderabad army

surrendered in 13 September 1948.

KASHMIR

 It was the biggest state with an area 84,471sq.miles & a population of

4,000,000 and majority was Muslim.
 It has boundaries with Tibet, China, Russia and Afghanistan so having great
importance.
 Dogra ruler Maharaja Gulab Singh ruled state of Jammu & Kashmir.
 Dogra dynasty purchased it from British Govt. in 1846 for 7.5 million rupees
and was sold to Gulab Singh by the “Treaty of Amritsar”.
 At the time of partition Hari Singh ruled it.
 Due to pressure of the people the announced accession with Pakistan.
 He started Muslim massacre in which many people were killed and thousands
migrated to Pakistan.
 To control the situation Indian forces landed in Kashmir on the assurance of
Hari Singh that he would join with India.
 There was a war between the Indians the local people Kashmiri & tribal
area’s people liberated a part of Kashmir called Azad Kashmir.
 Then Pakistani forces also entered in to this war and Pakistan got important
posts.
 Due to bad situation India made an appeal to UNO on 1 st Jan 1948 and a
ceasefire took place on the condition of plebiscite but India rejected UNO
proposals in 1949.
 In 1954 a bogus plebiscite held and Pakistan refused to accept it.
 In 1965 another war broke out on Kashmir issue and it is still unsolved.

CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS

 The constituent assembly failed to frame a constitution.

 Lack of permanent constitution created chances of unscrupulous
interference in democratic progress of Pakistan.
 After eight years constitution of Pakistan was formed.

HEALTH PROBLEMS

 Pakistan had nothing in the health field.

 There were only a few hospitals in the country on its birth.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

 Two hospitals were operating in Lahore and few were operating in Karachi.

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

 No health facility was provided to the rural area of Pakistan.
 The hospitals lack all the facilities as Hindu doctors took away the important
equipments.
 Death rate increases in Pakistan.
 British established many hospitals but they were left in Pakistan.
 Lack of medicines was for the injured refugees.

EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS

 Pakistan was facing educational problems as well.

 It had no schools, no teachers and no learning.
 The areas which came in Pakistan, British did not establish any schools there.
 Therefore, the Aligarh movement, the Nadvat-ul-Islam and Anjuman
Himayat-e-Islam filled the gap in the field of education.
 Literacy rate of Pakistan was at the lowest edge.
 Except the Punjab university or Government College, there was no reputable
educational institution.

WHY PAKISTAN FACED SO MANY PROBLEMS IN THE PROVISION OF

EDUCATION?

 The military expenditure is excessively high for a country such as Pakistan

and therefore there is little share left for spending on education. During the
first three decades after independence, education in Pakistan was accorded
a very low official priority. In 1960, Pakistan was only spending 2% of budget
on education which, by 1990, had grown to 2.9%. However, even after the
mass nationalization of 1970s, state expenditure on education never rose
above 3% of the budget.
 Poverty and ignorance of parents is also an important factor. In poor families
children are made to work and earn money for the family at the age of 6-7
years instead of going to school. Illiterate parents do not feel the necessity
of education and female education is also neglected.
 Frequent changes in the government have been another important factor.
With the change in government the previous plans are discarded and new
ones are introduced. Infect educational policies are neither properly
executed nor implemented.
 In Pakistan teachers are neglected community. No incentive is provided by
the government to teachers and they are considered to be a community

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

known for their intellectual and economic backwardness, Training of

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

teachers is also old and it does not match with latest methods and trends.
 Private schools in urban areas are run on commercial basis charging high fees
making it beyond the reach of common man. On account of these reasons
education in Pakistan is still in backward state.

PAKHTOONISTAN ISSUE

 The Red Shirts Movement leaders in KPK wanted to form Pakhtoonistan

having KPK, Baluchistan and part of Kabul.
 They wanted to rule it by Tribal System but Jinnah flew to meet them and
discussed the issues.
 He forced them to be united and do not divide Pakistan.
 The problem was therefore solved initially.

DEATH OF JINNAH

 Jinnah was too unwell, he worked day and night therefore, he died 13 months
after Pakistan’s independence.
 He tried his best to solve the problems of Pakistan but he did not get much
time and Pakistan lost his leadership on 11 september 1948.

 He made tours of various provinces to attend to the problem personally.
 He ordered to withdraw forces from areas of tribal territories. He advised
the tribesman to look into their affairs by themselves as citizens of free
and independent Pakistan.
 He joined UNO in 1947, which helped Pakistan to get reputation in the world
as a peace-loving nation.

BUILDING A GOVERNMENT

 To solve the problems of a new country workable administrative machinery

was needed.
 Liaquat Ali Khan was appointed as the first Prime Minister of Pakistan.
 A Constituent assembly was formed to work as a cabinet & to frame the new
constitution.
 Karachi was made as the Capital of Pakistan & Central Secretariat was also
set up.

 In 1948 Jinnah’s Industrial Policy made it essential to increase
industrialization quickly. Quaid also made a temporary agreement with India
regarding Canal Water to increase the efficiency of the agro-based
industries of Pakistan.

from defence point of view.
 He hired British officers to train Pakistani soldiers. Temporary commissions
were offered to fulfill the requirements of the military officers.
 Although our army was less in number & equipment but they fought bravely in
the first war against India.
 Ordinance factory was also established at Wah.

FAILURES

 Jinnah could not solve the issues like Canal Water dispute, Princely State
Issue, Defence of the country and the Constitution of Pakistan.

ISKANDER MIRZA
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

 Bhutto gave the idea to Ayub Khan that Pakistani soldiers should disguise

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

themselves as the Mujahidins and enter to Indian Kashmir but India knew it
and a war started due to this reason.
 In despair, Indian troops crossed the ceasefire line and occupied several
ports in Pakistan. When Pakistani retaliated a war started between India and
Pakistan which lasted for seventeen days.
 On 22 September 1965 according to resolution of the security council a
ceasefire agreement was signed between India and Pakistan.
 This nine-point declaration was signed between Pakistan and India at
Tashkent (USSR) for respectful solution of Kashmir problem and other
matters of discord between Pakistan and India.
 There is always imbalance of power between the Indians and Pakistani forces
so India got the advantage of manpower and the superior weapons than
Pakistan. Since Pakistan was given very few soldiers and weapons after its
creation and there is a big difference between the population of India and
Pakistan so it won the war.
 Pakistani forces started two projects Operation Grand Slam and Operation
Gibraltar for the Kashmiri people but the local people did not support them.

 The capital was not directly shifted to Islamabad; first shifted temporarily
to Rawalpindi and then to Islamabad.

WHY ISLAMABAD WAS CHOSEN AS NEW CAPITAL?

 Islamabad was having a better climate than Karachi. In Karachi there was
arid conditions which made it difficult for government to work. There were
no proper air conditioners at that time and if there were so that made it
very expensive for the country to run. On the other hand, Islamabad is a
mountainous region with favorable climatic conditions.
 Capital was shifted to Islamabad to develop that region. Traditionally,
development in Pakistan was focused on the colonial centre of Karachi.
President wanted it to be equally distributed so he chose Islamabad as it was
underdeveloped Punjab region.
 Karachi was located at one end of the country, making it vulnerable for
foreign countries to attack from Arabian sea. But on the other hand
Islamabad was far from the borders and was considered more safe than
Karachi.
 Most importantly, Ayub wanted to be closer to army headquarters in
Rawalpindi. So he shifted the capital to Islamabad.
 Moreover there was a need of capital which was easily accessible from all
parts of Pakistan. Karachi was at the coast/end whereas Islamabad was in
the center so the capital was shifted to Pakistan.

AGRICULTURAL REFORMS

 Landlords were not allowed to have more than 500 acres of irrigated and
1000 acres of un-irrigated land, excess land was given to poor farmers and
the landlords were given compensation for it.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

raised the productivity as the tenants and smaller farms were often more
efficient than the larger poorly run farms.
 Three major dams were built for irrigation.
 Loans were also given to the farmers to build well to reduce the need of
canal irrigation.
 Due to these measures the productivity of the land increased and

more tractors, more chemical fertilizers, use of HYV’s and insecticides.

WHY AWAMI LEAGUE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN ELECTIONS?

ECONOMIC INJUSTICE

 Economic injustices were very common between east and west Pakistan.
 During his government 22 industrial families were holding 66% of the
country’s industrial assets and 80% of its insurance and banking services.
 Most of the wealth was concentrated in West Pakistan.

OTHER INJUSTICES WITH EAST PAKISTAN

 In the armed forces Bengali share was only 10 percent.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 +92 317 2631567 [email protected] www.muhammadyousufmemon.com

 In central govt services Bengalis share was only 15 percent.

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

 Urdu which was spoken by 6 percent of Pakistan population, declared as

national language instead of Bengali which was spoken by 54 percent of
Pakistan population.

get independence from Pakistan.

UNREST IN EAST PAKISTAN

and presented their demands for full autonomy under Six Points.
 Mujeeb got the support and people voted for them.
 East Pakistan had more population and more seats compared to west
Pakistan, that’s why he won with big margins.

WHY VICTORY OF AWAMI LEAGUE CAUSE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS?

 President Yahya Khan was not willing to allow the Awami League to take over
the National Assembly by forming a government. The Awami League had won
a landslide victory in East Pakistan and the National Assembly and was in a
position to form a government on its own. The future Prime Minister and the
entire cabinet could be formed from the Awami League.
 Even though Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and the Pakistan People’s Party had won an
overwhelming victory in West Pakistan, it was likely it would have no role in
the future government.
 The Awami League had won the election on a programme limiting the power
of central government over the provinces. The different areas of the
country wanted to have control over their foreign exchange earned from
trade which would subsequently reduce the funds to the central government
in West Pakistan.

be the next president and Bhutto as next PM. This offer was refused by

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

 Tikka Khan was appointed as the Chief Martial Law Administrator and
Governor of East Pakistan.

killed the people not belonging to East Pakistan and those who did not
support six-points.
 During this violence many people migrated from East Pakistan and many were
killed on 25th March Yahya flew back to Islamabad and the next day Bhutto.
 A planned military operation OPERATION SEARCHLIGHT carried out by the
Pakistan Army to put down the Bengali nationalist movement in East Pakistan
in March 1971. Ordered by the central government in West Pakistan, this
was seen as the sequel to “Operation Blitz” which had been launched in
November 1970. The original plan envisioned taking control of the major
cities on March 26 and then eliminating all opposition, political or military
within one month. Bengali resistance was not excepted by the Pakistani Army
and led to many atrocities taking place that caused some 10 million refugees
to flee to India. These atrocities engaged the Bengalis, who declared
independence from Pakistan, and led to the creation of Bangladesh.

WAR OF 1971

 On 26th March there was a secret broadcast from Dhaka announcing the
creation of Sovereign People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
 The military action was very harsh which killed thousands of Bengalis.
 Due to military action against Awami League workers.
 As a result of this action the rebels fled to India.
 The massive influx of refugees put a burden on India and gave her reason to
exploit and black mail Pakistan.
 Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi played a negative role in that situation
and Indian Defence Minister declared that he would not send those refugees
in Yahya’s Pakistan but we would return them to Mujeeb’s Bangladesh.
 The Indian plane hijacking drama in June 1971 gave a reason to India for
cutting off airborne supply to East Pakistan so it was difficult for West
Pakistan to supply soldiers and weapons to East Pakistan.
 In August 1971 India-USSR defence pact was signed, have a support from
super power.
 Indira Gandhi demanded withdrawal of Pakistani forces from East Pakistan.

OLEVEL PAK STUDIES I 2059/01 I SECTION 3 I NOTES

 In November 1971 Indian troops started to cross East Pakistan border and
MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

on 3rd December 1971 a full-scale war broke out with India which lasted till

him.
 On 21st December 1971 Republic of Bangladesh was officially declared and
two weeks later Bhutto released Mujeeb on his return to Bangladesh on 10 th
January he became the 1st Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

WHY PAK FAILED IN WAR?

 By 1971 the balance of military power had definitely tilted in favour of India.
It had a stronger economy and larger population and was able to develop an
army considerably larger than Pakistan could put in the field. India could also
rely on support from Soviet Union after signing the treaty of Peace,
Friendship and Commerce in August 1971. Whereas Pakistan was not having
any such support from any of its Allies.
 Moreover, Pakistan lost the war in 1971, as India took advantage of civil war
in East Pakistan. The Indian army attacked East Pakistan. The ensuing was
led to the downfall of Decca and the subsequent surrender of Pakistani
forces with a larger number of Pakistani soldiers being taken as prisoners by
India.
 The Indian plane hijacking drama in June 1971 gave a reason to India for
cutting off airborne supply to East Pakistan so it was difficult for West
Pakistan to supply soldiers and weapons to East Pakistan.

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

schools and colleges were nationalized, more educational institutes were built
and free primary education was introduced.

introduced as 3000 new schools were not enough and more schools could not
be achieved so quickly.

 Many training colleges for the doctors and nurses were set in which they
were posted to various city and village areas.

medicines and they were made available without prescription.

contributions to Afghanistan earthquake victims in 1976 due to which
relations got better.

DOWNFALL OF BHUTTO

RIGGING IN ELECTIONS OF 1977

 Massive rigging in the elections on 1977 infuriated the sentiments of the

people and provided a chance to the opposition to launch an organized
movement against the Bhutto government.

NATIONALIZATION POLICY

 Nationalization Policy was also a failure because the Bhutto could not find
the necessary expertise or the right kind of skilled personnel to run the
industries.
 As a result of this policy the foreign investment reduced causing
unemployment.

POOR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

 Deteriorating Economic conditions was also a reason because country’s

economy was seriously dislocated.
 Production levels fell and exports decreased drastically.
 Devaluation of currency was a major blow of economy.
 Since Pakistan’s rupee was linked with the US Dollar and at that time there
was recession in the American Economy, the value of the rupee fell gradually.

WHY BHUTTO WAS EXECUTED?

MUHAMMAD YOUSUF MEMON

MAIN POWERS IN HAND OF BHUTTO

political power lay with the party leadership and Bhutto in particular.
 When things went wrong the blame was clearly laid at his feet.
 There was a game of power between Zia and Bhutto and anyone could stay
alive since Zia had become the Head of the State and Bhutto became a
common person so Bhutto was hanged.

ZIA WANTED TO GET RID OF BHUTTO

 Bhutto was the only political leader who tried to lessen the power of army.
 Zia was afraid of Bhutto as he was famous and Bhutto can easily gain the
support of people again.
 Zia wanted to get rid of Bhutto so he can easily rule the country.

ISLAMIZATION POLICIES

WHY ZIA INTRODUCED ISLAMIC POLICIES?

 When Zia took the power in his hands, there was a popular conception that
every government paid only lip service to Islam and no sincere effort was
ever made in this direction. Un-islamic policies of Bhutto was one of the
reason for downfall of Bhutto. Zia wanted to end Bhutto’s rule as Zia knew
Bhutto is the man who knows politics and can easily gain the support of
people. So in order to remove the fear of Bhutto, he introduced Islamic
reforms. Through this way, he was able to remove sympathies of people for
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
 Zia found out a way to gain support of people. He knew that introducing
Islamic policies will help him to gain the support of people. Islamic policies
were desire of a people because they were sick of un-islamic policies of
Bhutto. Zia wanted to gain public support and prolong his period so for this
purpose he introduced many reforms in different ways.
 He wanted to gain the support of religious parties such as Jamat e Islami.
He knew that these reforms will help him to gain the support of Jamat e
Islami which will help him to rule for a long time.

therefore made the Islamic laws very strict in order to produce a strong
government by imposing a strict legal code.

produced laws with punishment so no one can disrespect to Holy prophet. He
also wanted to distribute some wealth to poor and needy by introducing
Islamic taxes.

HUDOOD ORDINANCE

 Introduced in 1977 by Zia

 According to the Hudood Ordinance preparation, transportation and use of

 The another Hudood Law is meant for Adultery. According to this law if a
person, man or woman, indulges in the act of adultery, he or she would be
stoned to death in case of married and 100 lashes in case of unmarried.
Federal Shariat Court reversed stoning to death in case of Adultery in 1982.
 Qazaf means a false allegation of fornication or adulteration on a person,
living or dear, to harm his/her reputation. In order to prove this allegation,
at least four adult Muslims, known for their truthfulness, will be required to
bear witness to this fact. If the crime of false allegation is established a
punishment of fine and imprisonment can also be awarded. Mostly 80 lashes
was the punishment.
 One who commits theft, his right hand up till the wrist will cut. If habitual,
then life imprisonment.
 The hudood laws had negative consequences for woman. They failed to make

because they could not provide 4 witnesses. This ended up being punished
rather than protected by law.
