Pakistan the Land of Purity

The man, who considered the originator of the word PAKISTAN, is Chaudhary Rehmat Ali. He composed of his ideas, “‘Pakistan’ is both a Persian and an Urdu word. It is made out of letters taken from the names of every one of our countries ‘Indian’ and ‘Asian’ that is Punjab, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Iran, Sind, Afghanistan, and Baluchistan. It implies the place where there is the Paks – the profoundly unadulterated and clean.

Ideology of Pakistan

Pakistan is based on a special ideology. The ideology of Pakistan is based on the religion of Islam which guides Muslims in all spheres of life. It covers all aspects of human life. Socio-ethical, political, religious, and economic is the basic principles. The Muslims of the subcontinent were living a life of slavery with other nations during British rule. After getting rid of British slavery, they did not see any success in achieving their goal.

The dominance of the Hindu majority was evident. After much deliberation, the Muslims decided that after the overthrow of British rule, a Muslim state should be established in areas where the Muslim majority is present. This thinking gradually became stronger. Eventually, the Muslims started a great movement for the goal. The establishment of a separate Islamic state became a goal and this goal led to the creation of the ideology of Pakistan.

The creation of Pakistan became possible after a tremendous and constant struggle. Muslims have been ruling the Indian subcontinent for centuries and European nations have turned to it. They came for trade and seized power by taking advantage of the differences between the people of the subcontinent. Tipu Sultan and Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah suffered setbacks due to the traitors. Attempts by the British to liberate the entire subcontinent from the British failed one after another.
The great man who brought the Muslims of the subcontinent to a dignified and safe place and put into practice the idea of a separate state was the personification of Quaid-e-Azam. He explained the ideology of Pakistan in his words “Pakistan came into existence on the day when the first Hindu became Muslim”.

The result of the struggle of the Muslims of the subcontinent

Our forefathers have sacrificed their lives, property, and honor to get Pakistan. The foundations of Pakistan include the blood of many people. The people and their leaders have made many sacrifices in the struggle for Pakistan. The Muslim nation had to struggle hard to reach its destination and after unprecedented sacrifices and difficult circumstances, they succeeded in achieving their goal.

The independence of Pakistan was declared in 1947 and India on 15th August 1947. Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s dream was shattered by the grace and efforts of sincere and selfless leaders like Quaid-e-Azam and emerged on the world map on 14 August 1947 despite opposition in Pakistan.

Early History of Pakistan
