The Death Of The Father Of Pakistan
The Death of the Father of Pakistan-
“Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope other[s] will share with us.” – Mohammed Ali Jinnah
Although He may not have as much acknowledgment and global fame of India’s Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammed Ali Jinnah also known as Quaid- I Azaam was one of the giant figures of the 20th century. Jinnah was the founder of the modern government of Pakistan, a nation formed through the violent divider of British India with the purpose of serving as a Muslim-majority substitute to Hindu-dominated India. On the 15thof August 1947, Jinnah became the first Governor- General of Pakistan. From common people, students, politicians, and army, the faith and discipline of Jinnah was seen as scarce. On March 21st in Dhaka, Jinnah gave a message to students, in which he said:
“My young friends, students who are present here, let me tell you as one who as always had love and affection for you, who has served you for ten years faithfully and loyally, let me give you this word of warning: you will be making the greatest mistake if you allow yourself to be exploited by one political party or another…. . Your main occupation should be – in fairness to yourself, in fairness to your parents, in fairness to the state – to devote your attention to your studies.”
For politicians, Jinnah was compassionate about the idea that elected leaders must realize their obligations and liabilities in a sensible way. During the presidential address to the constituent assembly of Pakistan on the 11th of August 1947, he said:
“The first and the foremost thing that I would like to emphasize is this – remember that you are now a Sovereign Legislative body and you have got all the powers. It, therefore, places on you the gravest responsibility as to how you should take your decisions.”
Jinnah’s message to the armed forces was very clear and

    In 1920, Jinnah resigned from Congress when it agreed to follow a campaign of Satyagraha, or non-violent resistance, advocated by the influential leader, Gandhi. This letter shows his anger towards Gandhi, privately and uninfluenced, we can rely on this source. Jinnah writes “In the public life of the country, your methods have caused divisions, ... even between fathers and sons.” This shows he does not understand the needs of the public, only concerning himself with the needs of India as a whole. He disregards Muslim concerns, mainly focusing on the Hindu population which leads to the separation of India into Pakistan. This links directly to the Viceroy’s claim in source 10, writing that Gandhi is “hopelessly unpractical and unaware in everyday…

    According to orthodox historians, Jinnah was central to the partition of India.* He transformed the Muslim League from an elitist, marginally supported party to one of the most influential bodies at the all-India level. He mobilised the Muslims masses and according to Gilmartin, helped them to transcend their provincial divides and focus on a wider cause.* Jinnah accused the Indian National Congress of having a Hindu bias and feared their totalitarianism. He developed the 'Two Nations' theory, which asserted that Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations and should have parity in central and provincial governments. This led to the passing of the Lahore Resolution in March 1940, which orthodox historians highlight as the beginning of his campaign for Pakistan. Jinnah formally asserted that the Muslims were a nation and 'independent states'* should be formed. In June 1940, he published his 'Tentative Proposals,' which repeated his demands for the division of Hindus and Muslims and advocated…

    When Pakistan established in 1947, there were two main ideologies which were "socialism", supported by USSR (Russia) and "Capitalism" by USA, were being disseminating in the world, when the Indian subcontinent had demarcated in to two sovereign states, India without taking much time joined socialism; but Pakistan neither joined capitalism nor supported socialism. He wanted his own principles to be applicable and practicable, i.e. Islamic law where everything is in accordance with Qur’an law and doctrines. This was the reason which brings about an outlet for the rest of world such as USA and Russia to be interested in Pakistan to invigorate their own dominant ideologies (socialism & capitalism) here in. Further more for USA it keeps rather more importance in comparison, because the land lock country Afghanistan (where he was able to prevailed capitalism by defeating socialism in1988) has no passing way of its own. Pakistan in only country through which America could sustain and survive there over. Another big reason 'why the Pakistan is of so much importance in respect its Geographical location' Is because it occupies "four different culture" in its surrounding, namely Afghanistan with central Asian culture in the west; Iran with middle east culture in south; India with South Asian culture in East and china with Eastern culture in North Pakistan. Pakistan is important due to its location because it is neighbour country of Middle East and have common border with china, India, Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia state of Uzbekistan. It is important for united state because it gives access to Afghanistan and Central Asia. It is important for India because Pakistan is a land route to Iran and other west Asian countries. Pakistan's coastline is also important because it is a warm water port and serves many landlocked countries too. It remains operational throughout the year. Some of the air routes between east and west pass through Pakistan therefore Jinnah terminal,…

    It was a winter evening of 2011; I was having a conversion with one of my cousin who was an undergraduate student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). The discussion topic was the political instability of Bangladesh, he was kind of frustrated and blaming the political parties because just the day before the discussion his final examination was postponed due to “Hartal” called by the main opposition party. He was tensed about finishing his graduation in time because of this delay. He had a plan to catch the next semester of a US university for doing his MS over there. But this Hartal issue was made him very anxious that he might not be able to go to USA in time to start the semester. So I could see all of his anger toward the politics and political parties while having the conversation he was saying these political parties and political structure is nothing but a waste of valuable resources of common people, they can’t do any betterment for the country. He said. “We really need some change; we need new and young leadership instated of this age old politicians and political culture.” Then I asked him that if he is thinking about bringing new and young leaders in politics then why he doesn’t take the chance, why he doesn’t join in politics. I pointed out that he is well educated and qualified enough to do that. Then he replied, “I would like to join in politics, but can politics give me a secure future? Can the political parties facilitate me enough opportunities to be a potential leader rather than following the family legacy of transferring political power? Do you think they have internal democracy? Are they going to give me a nomination for national election if I don’t fund them with tons of black money? Do you think they can let me work freely for the betterment of the country? Am I going to get enough support from my family and society if I wish to get involved in active politics? Answer me.” Well I didn’t have any…
