IMPORTANCE OF AN 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 the scattered groups in a society
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. They stress
on their adherents to insist on their realization of their ideals through total transformation of society.
Absolute and firm individual obedience is demanded of those who accept it and an un questioned
agreement with each other on the ideals is the most vital pre-requisite of an Ideology.
THEORY
Pakistan ideology was based in the fact that the Muslims were a separate nation having their own
culture, civilization, customs, literature, religion, and way of life. They cannot be merged in any another
nation because their philosophy of life is based on the principles of Islam. As the Muslims of India found
it difficult to live according to the principles of Islam in the United India, they were forced to demand a
Pakistan Ideology was erected on the Two-Nation Theory which meant that Hindus and Muslims
were two separate and distinct nations whose understanding of life was glaringly different from each
other. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan the pioneer of the Two-Nation Theory used the word Two-Nation for
Hindus and Muslims after being convinced of the Hindu and Congress hatred and prejudices for the
Muslims. The Muslims were a separate nation who always adhered to their religious identity. The
Muslims of the sub-continent did not want to see their image as a distinct nation being tarnished and
therefore strictly adhered to it. The British and the Hindus, in spite of their great efforts, could not put a
wedge into the Muslim unity and love for their national character. The creation of Pakistan owes much to
this feeling of adherence to their national image by the Muslims of the sub-continent.
As far as the meanings and definition of Pakistan Ideology is concerned, it basically means that
Pakistan should be a State where the Muslims should have an opportunity to live according to their faith
and creed based on the Islamic principles. They should have all the resources at their disposal to enhance.
Islamic culture and civilization because this was the sole purpose of demanding a separate homeland for
the Muslims.
