Greek words “ideo” and “logos”. It literally
means “the science or study of ideas”.

and aspirations of its people, and religion and
cultural shape, their thinking which binds

which practical elements are as prominent as theoretical ones;
it is a system of ideas that aspires both to explain the world
and to change it.

 ‘Ideology is a system of beliefs that explain and justifies a

preferred political orders, either existing or proposed and
offers a strategy(institutions, processes, programme) for its
attainment”
Importance of Ideology

 Ideology is a motivating force for a nation, which

is striving hard to bring stability and homogeneity
to its nationhood. It provides the cement-binding
base to scattered groups in a society and bring
them closer to each other on a common platform.
 Ideologies impel their adherents to follow a joint
line of action for the accomplishment of their goal.
 Ideologies give shape to the revolutions and give
birth to new cultures and civilizations.
How ideology Emerges?
 Ideologies tend to arise in the times of crises and
social stress. A society having no ideology, when
faced with a crisis. They originate and get support
among those sections of society who have rejected
the prevailing conditions.
 “An ideology emerges when people feel strongly that
they are being mistreated under an existing order,
when their status is threatened by fundamental
changes occurring in the society, and when the
prevailing ideology no longer satisfies them”
Basis of Pakistan ideology

 Pakistanideology is based on the ideal of the

Islamic system. It was reaction to the Hindu
and British exploitation of the Muslims of the
sub-continent. It was w revolt against the
prevailing system of India where Hindu
Nationalism was being imposed on the
Muslims and their culture. It contained to save
the Muslim culture from elimination.
Aims and Objective of Creation of Pakistan

 Enforcement of the sovereignty of God Almighty:

The Islamic state is built up on the
concept of the sovereignty of God Almighty. The prime objective of the demand
for Pakistan was establishment of a state where Almighty God’s supremacy could
be enforced and where a government based on the Islamic principles could be
instituted. The Quaid-i-Azam said “we did not demand Pakistan to acquire a
piece of land, but we wanted a homeland where we could introduce Islamic
principles”.
 Establishment of Islamic State
Islam is a complete code of life. The
Muslims wanted to implement the system practically. This could not
be attained in United India therefore, they passed a resolution and
demanded an Islamic state in the North East and North West of
South Asia.
Continue
 Social and political development of Muslims:
After the war of Independence
1857, the social environment was totally changed. The Muslims were scared
of the caste system and other discriminations. They could enjoy neither
political nor social liberties; therefore, they preferred to have a separate
homeland in which they could live according to the teachings of Islam.
 Protection of Two Nation Theory
The Muslims claimed separate nationhood
for themselves and they were determined to maintain a separate entity for all
times to come. The Muslims believe in separate religion, practice different
traditions, and have their own history and their cultural heritage. Their claim
was absolutely true. It was their right to keep their separate entity alive and
to enjoy all human rights. This was not possible in undivided India.
Continue
 Protection of Muslim Culture and Civilization
Success of congress in
elections of 1937 and capturing the leadership was an enough proof that
the Hindus wanted to demolish Muslim civilization and culture. Every
now and then new intrigues were hatched to destroy the Muslim’s
religious values. The breeding of cows and to worship them was the
reckoned culture of Hindustan. The Hindu community was planning to
prevail upon Muslims in their customs and ceremonies. The Muslim
ceremonies were interfered whereas the Hindu festivals of Diwali, Lorhis,
Dasehra were celebrated with great pomp and show. In short, if India were
not divided, this country would have become a pure Hindu State and the
next generation of Muslims would have been Muslim only by name, but it
would have been impossible for the Muslims to follow Islam practically.

 Establishment of balance Economic System

The
economic system is the backbone of every society.
Muslims in the subcontinent did not have their economic
system 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.
Continue
 To get rid of the British
After the war of independence (1857), the British maltreated
the Muslims. Political rights of the Muslims were snatched. Doors of new jobs were
closed and also the Muslims were deprived of their jobs and were deprived of their
property (estates). There was no social status for the Muslims. So they demanded
separate homeland.
 Narrow Mindedness of Hindus:
The Hindu community’s narrow mindedness could
be gauged from the fact that they do not feel ashamed of idol worship during the
20th century even. The women are considered slaves. They do not recognize the
right of second marriage for the widow. They consider themselves much superior
to the people of their own race. The Hindus declare a thing polluted if it has been
touched by a Muslim. There was a concept of caste systems in the Hindus itself.
There was only one way of Muslim’s deliverance from such a narrow-minded and
prejudiced community, and that was a separate state comprising the provinces of
Muslim majority, and as such they demanded a separate homeland.
Continue

 Muslim Unity
Muslims were dispersed in the 20th
century especially after the failure of Khilafat movement.
The Muslims wanted to become united again because
unity is also the basic teaching of Islam. But the unity of
the Muslim world cannot be possible without the creation
of Pakistan.
 In short the Muslims demanded a separate state only
because of their worse conditions and to save their
national integrity.
