Aims and objectives of the

creation of Pakistan
Introduction

 The aims and objectives of the creation of Pakistan are necessary to know for a history
student, an analyst and every Pakistani. They provide deep insight into the ideology on
which Pakistan was established and the historical evolution of the concept of the “Two
Nation” theory.
 With the occupation of the Indo-Pak subcontinent by the British in the 18th century,
Muslims of the region, in contrast to their historical glory, became subservient to their
colonizers. While Hindus accepted the western educational system and pursued high ranks
in the government machinery, Muslims remained aloof in the beginning.
 It was Sir Syed Ahmed Khan’s untiring efforts that we saw a more inclusive Muslim
society. Muslim identity and culture were at stake, thanks to the Hindu majority’s
persecution and atrocities.
 Muslims wanted their own educational, democratic, economical, and social setup; they
pushed the colonizers to grant them a separate geographical area for complete autonomy.
Persistent efforts, strong character of Quaid e Azam in addition to other leaders, combined
with other factors like the second World War in 1945, prompted the British to decolonize
the Indo-Pak subcontinent; a boundary was drawn and Muslims of the region were given a
separate homeland in 1947. For a better understanding, let’s dive deep into the historical
aspect of the aims and objectives of the creation of Pakistan.
 1-Enforcement of Sovereignty of Allah Almighty
 An Islamic state is established and progresses considering supreme the ordainments of God
Almighty. Its matters are decided on the concept of the sovereignty of God Almighty only.
Pakistan was created for the Muslims where Islamic principles could prevail.
 -Preservation of Muslim Culture
 Colonies’ social and cultural institutions are affected and shaped by the colonizers’
preferences. The British established their system where Hindus accelerated their careers
while Muslim identity and culture were in danger at the hands of their colonizers as well as
hostile Hindu majority. The creation of Pakistan was needed to preserve Muslim culture
and social institutions.
 3-Protection and revival of Muslim Identity

 Muslims remained dominant for centuries. Their identity was jeopardized when,
because of the Muslim empire’s weakness as well as the cunning leadership of East
India Company, the British took over the echelons of power of the subcontinent.
Muslims wanted to regain their lost identity. Additionally, and more importantly,
the prejudicial attitude of Hindus against the Muslim population made their life
difficult, to say the least. Muslims needed security from the majority Hindu
domination; after sacrificing so much, Muslims were able to get their right of a
separate homeland due to perseverance and determination of Quaid e Azam.
 4-Establishment of a balanced economic system

 The economic system is the backbone of every society. Muslims in the subcontinent
have their economic system but it had been ended with the end of Muslim rule and
relied on the British; additionally, Hindus were dominating the public offices and
educational setup. Muslims were lacking in many ways and could not compete
economically on equal grounds with the Hindus because of unfair patronage to the
Hindus by the Britishers after the war of mutiny in 1857, where Muslims were held
responsible for the whole event.
 5-Freedom from the prejudicial majority rule
 Muslims, after the War of Independence 1857 was held responsible and were persecuted by
the Britishers. They granted major public offices to Hindus and kept Muslims alienated
from the higher ranks of government setup. Hindus took advantage of the situation and
started a persecution of their own; they used to stop Muslims from practicing Islam and
live life with freedom. The Congress rule of 1937 was the last nail in the coffin of Hindu-
Muslim unity and a united India; it made the Muslim leadership realize that Hindus are
incorrigible, and Muslims can’t practice their ideology living alongside such a hostile
Hindu majority. Therefore, the 1940s was the decade when Muslims asserted their demand
for separate homeland more vigorously
 6-Establishment of Islamic Democracy
 Islamic democracy believes in the sovereignty of God where people can use their right to
suggest any changes in governance setup, however, not in the matters already decided by
the Almighty. Allah Almighty has prescribed a complete political system for an Islamic
state different from the western concept of democracy where people are put supreme.
Islam does not suggest democracy based on the concept of “of the people, by the people,
for the people”.
 We can assume that the aims and objectives of Pakistan got clearer to the Muslims of the
subcontinent as time passed; the most prominent aim of Pakistan’s creation was to get a
laboratory where Muslims could practice an Islamic way of life.
