Notes of Pakistan Affairs by Prof. Dr. Hassan Askari
The Development of Muslim Identity and Two-Nation Theory and Quaid-i-Azam and Allama
Iqbal
The sense of nationhood developed among the Muslims before the establishment of
Pakistan. Their goal was mostly to protect and promote their identity and interests and
shape their lives in accord with their ideals and philosophy of life without being
overwhelmed by an unsympathetic majority. They adopted the strategy to get constitutional
safeguards from the British against the cruel majority of Hindus but because of the
antagonistic treatment from the rivals they set the goal of a separate state. Islam had
central place to their further developments.
The role of leadership is very important to put nation on the way. A good leadership infuses
the qualities of awareness, consciousness, mobilization, sense of direction, and defense
against the adversaries. The Muslims were lucky having such competent leadership.
Muhammad Ali JINNAH

M. A. Jinnah was a history-making leader who changed the course of history. He possessed a
visionary leadership, commitment to the cause and political mobilization capacity. He was a
Charismatic Leader in the real sense of the meaning.
ROLE OF JINNAH
Jinnah played a decisive role in articulating the Muslim demands and pursuing these faced
strong opposition from the Hindus and the British. He started his political career in 1906 by
joining the Indian National Congress. He was elected to the Legislative Council in 1909 and
in 1913 he also joined the All India Muslim League (AIML). Now he was member of both the
political parties. Having disagreement with Gandhi on the issue of Swaraj (self-rule),
complete freedom from the British and on using extra-constitutional means, Jinnah resigned
from the Congress in 1920.
His early efforts to promote Hindu-Muslim unity were materialized when THE LUCKNOW

PACT (1916) was signed. The Hindus accepted the Muslim demands:
Separate Electorate
One-third Seats in Central Legislature
protection of minority rights
In the Nehru Report, the accepted Muslim rights were ignored. Jinnah retaliated forcefully
by presenting 14 Points in 1929. He defined Muslim identity and mobilized them with
reference to Islam and convinced others that Muslims are different from the Hindus and the
Congress. Islamic principles, concepts and symbols surfaced in his speeches and
statements.
Jinnah used the term NATION for the Muslims of India in Feb 1935 (Legislative Assembly).
He argued that the combination of religion, culture, race, arts, music and so forth make a
minority a SEPARATE ENTITY. In March 1936 Bombay, he stated that the Muslims could
arrive at a settlement with Hindus as TWO Nations. In 1937, he asserted that there is also a
third party in India, the Muslims. In 1939, he roared that the Muslims and Hindus are two
nations and they are going to live as a nation and playing part as a nation:
We are a nation with our own distinctive culture and civilization, language and literature,
names and nomenclature, sense of values and proportion, legal laws and moral code,
custom and calendar, history and tradition, aptitudes and ambitions; in short, we have our
own distinctive outlook on life and of life. By all cannons of international law, we are a
nation.
Speeches and statements: 1940-47
Jinnah believed in the force of Islam as he said that Islam is a dynamic force that can unite
the Muslims. It can help to overcome the present crisis. It’s a source of inspiration and
guidance providing ethical foundation, a framework, social order and civilization.
Guidance & inspiration for constitution-making and Governance
He also talked of the modern notions of state, constitution, civil and political rights and
democracy. He assured that constitution of Pakistan would be framed by the elected
assembly.
Modern democratic and Islamic State
He gave assurance of equality of all citizens and rights and freedom to religious minorities

ALLAMA IQBAL: POET AND PHILOSOPHER

VISION OF A SEPARATE MUSLIM STATE
Men like Allama Iqbal are born but in centuries. He was conscious of significance of Islam in
lives of the Muslims. His first public appearance was in 1899 at the annual session of
Anjuman Himayat-i-Islam in Lahore when he presented the poem, Nala-i-Yatim.
At initial stages Dr Iqbal was a nationalist by ideas and his poetry contained verses like
Tarana-i- Hind. His poetry was a critique of the existing societal conditions. Being educated
from Europe, he knew all weak aspects of the Western culture. He criticized capitalism,
materialism and lack of spiritualism.

Islam can salvage the Muslims

Islam has always saved Muslim
Islam is a living and dynamic ideology that can meet modern challenges
Islam to help them to overcome their internal discord and enable them to meet external
challenges

Ijtehad and Reinterpretation
Address to the Muslim League Session, Allahabad, December 1930
I would like to see the Punjab, NWFP, Sind, Balochistan amalgamated into a single state as
a self government within the British empire or without. This is the final destiny of the
Muslims of N.W. India.
