The Ideology of Pakistan.

Very factual and objective.
As to the demand for the formation of Pakistan , the reason is not amelioration of Muslims, but the lust for power between Nehru, Jinnah and Sardar Patel(in this case it was well disguised) .
Jinnah was nowhere in the mood to demand Pakistan till matters came to a head and Gandhi seems to have preferred Nehru to the chagrin of both Jinnah and Patel.They could not raise their voice against Gandhi.Jinnah felt he could not aspire to become PM and given the circumstances he felt he had no chance whatsoever in future as well.Hence the demand for separate state.
The argument that Jinnah was not for Islamic State or for Islamic ideology may be gauged by his personal life as a practicing Muslim.One thing honest about him was that he never pretended to be what he was not.
People of India and Pakistan treat Gandhi and Jinnah as above review and criticism and our objectivity becomes blurred because of our emotional attachment to these people,which has been fueled by media.
I wonder why one should have an ideology other than development and well-being of people.
The so-called ideologies divide people of the nation and a hindrance in the conduct of foreign affairs.
After all, religion is intensely personal and only harm can come when you mix it in Politics.
Unfortunately, politicians, need vote banks.
What better card than Religion now that Communism is dead and buried!

It was indeed brave of Ghazi Salahuddin to stir a sensitive subject like “Induction of Religion in Politics” and thereby obliquely question the efficacy of Islamisation of Pakistan in his article “Nawaz Sharif’s Chance” “The News” Sunday June 13th . He advised MNS against being an Ameer ul Momineen if he is elected PM for the third time and keep the state and religion separate from each other. I agree with him. Much is talked about the Nazria e Pakistan (Ideology of Pakistan) by our intellectuals – pseudo as well as genuine, and it has become fashionable to paint it in an Islamic hue.
