INTRODUCTION
Aims and Objectives of the creation of Pakistan are simple. Muslim demanded a
separate state only because of their worse conditions and to save their national
integrity. Pakistan came into being on 14 th August 1947. the Muslims of India had
scarified there wealth, honour & life to make a Pakistan reality. The struggle for the
attainment of Pakistan started very after the war of Independence in 1857.
After the war the Muslims were greatly pressed by the Hindus as well as the British.
Social, political and economical conditions of the Muslims were totally changed. That
is why they demanded a separate state of their own. Following are the Aims and
Objectives that led to the creation of Pakistan.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
 Enforcement of Sovereignty of Allah Almighty
An Islamic state is established and progresses considering supreme the ordainments of God
Almighty. Its matters are decided on the concept of the sovereignty of God Almighty only.
Pakistan was created for the Muslims where Islamic principles could prevail.
 Setting up of a free Islamic society:
The main objective of the creation of Pakistan was to establish a free Islamic Society having its
own identity and government, practicing its own social principles and religion and inviting the
Muslims of the World, particularly and others generally to adopt the Islamic way of life.
 Protection from Communal Riots:
The Communal Riots on every other day made it clear that the Hindus could monopolies the
politics after the departure of the British. The lives of Muslims could never be safe in United
India. The Hindu organizations had, again and again asserted that Hindu Raj would be imposed
on India after the independence. So to get rid of these atrocities the Muslims demanded their
separate state.
 Social and Political development of Muslims:
After the war of independence 1857, the social environment was totally changed. The Muslims
were scared of the caste system and other discriminations. They could enjoy neither political nor
social liberties; therefore, they preferred to have a separate homeland in which they could live
according to teaching of Islam.
 Protection of Muslim Language:
The Hindus did the best to replace Urdu by Hindi. But they did not succeed during the British
period. If South Asia had got freedom without partition, the Hindu majority could very easily
declare Hindi, the official and national language. The Hindu government could wipe out all
signs of Muslim culture; therefore, the Muslim had no choice except putting demand for
Pakistan.
 Protection of Two Nation Theory:
The Muslims claimed separate nationhood for themselves and they were determined to maintain
a separate entity for all times to come. The Muslims belive in separate religion, practice different
traditions, and have their own history and their cultural heritage. Their claim was absolutely
true. It was their right tot keep their separate entity alive and to enjoy all human rights. This was
not possible in undivided India.
 Establishment of Islamic State:
Islam is a complete code of life. The Muslims wanted to implement the system practically. This
could not be attained in United India therefore, they passed a resolution and demanded an Islamic
state in the North East and North West of South Asia.
 Setting up of True Islamic society:
Islam upholds the golden principles of freedom, justice, brotherhood and equality but
living for centuries with the Hindu community, the Muslims were gradually ignoring,
consciously or unconsciously, these principles. Islam gives guidance for the individual as
well as collective life. It has its own principles such as the ban in usury, gambling, to
refrain from all unlawful means of income and expenditure. Again extravagance is
regarded devilish. The rights of the neighbours are stressed which results in social
security to all. God-fearing and belief in the Hereafter are the basis for the social life of
the Muslims.
 Dream of Muslims to get freedom:
Due to all ill treatment of Hindus and British the Muslims also wanted to get freedom
and established their own Govt. in the Sub Continent because the freedom is right of
every nation and the country. For this reason they demand Pakistan.
 Narrow Mindedness of Hindus:
The Hindu community’s narrow mindedness could be gauged from the fact that they do not
feel ashamed of idol worship during the 20th century even. The women are considered slaves.
They do not recognize the right of second marriage for the widow. They consider themselves
much superior to the people of their own race. The Hindus declare a thing polluted if it has
been touched by a Muslim. There was a concept of caste system in the Hindu itself. There was
only one way of Muslim’s deliverance from such a narrow-minded and prejudiced community,
and that was a separate state comprising the provinces of Muslim majority, and as such they
demanded a separate homeland.
Attainment of peaceful atmosphere:
After the formation of mahasbha and its entrance into politics, prejudiced movements like
Shuddhi and Sangthan were born. Riots occurred here and there. They extinguished the fire of
revenge by dishonoring the mosques or attacking Moharram processions. The daily increase in
riots had given a warning to the Muslims. It is rightly remarked that the last 25 years were
spent in Hindu-Muslim civil war. Its cure was no other than the creation of Pakistan in the
Muslim majority provinces so that the daily occurrences of riots may come to an end. The
Muslims may enjoy the peaceful conditions in a separate state of their own.
Deliverance from Economic Exploitation:
The Hindus community was not contented with the political rule; it was determined to worsen
the condition of the minorities economically. But especially they wanted to take revenge from
the Muslims for their past defeats. Under the patronage of the English, the Hindu were made the
owner of the land. They were encouraged in trade and commerce also. Only the trade hydes and
skins remained with the Muslims. They were encouraged in the trade of shining nature, or some
factory, and that belonged to a Muslims, they started cut throat competitions. So after being
disheartened the Muslims had to leave the factory or trade. The Muslims had seen this state of
affairs for years till they reached the conclusion that where the problems were settled by the
votes of majority, it was haerdly possible to live along with the prejudice and cruel Hindu
majority. The sole aim of the Hindus was to re-convert the Muslims to Hinduism and absorb
them in that religion. So there was no room left for the Muslims except demanding a separate
independent homeland, for themselves.
 Muslim Unity:
Muslims wee dispersed in the 20th century especially after the failure of Khilafat movement. The
Muslims wanted to become united again because unity is also the basic teaching of Islam. But
the unity of the Muslim world cannot be possible without the creation of Pakistan.
In short, the Muslims demanded a separate state only because of their worse conditions and to
save their national integrity.
Establishment of Islamic Democracy
Islamic democracy believes in the sovereignty of God where people can use their right to
suggest any changes in governance setup, however, not in the matters already decided by the
Almighty. Allah Almighty has prescribed a complete political system for an Islamic state
different from the western concept of democracy where people are put supreme. Islam does not
suggest democracy based on the concept of “of the people, by the people, for the people”.
 To get rid of the British:
After the was of independence 1857, the British maltreated the Muslims. Political
rights of the Muslims were snatched. Doors of new jobs were closed and also the
Muslims were deprived of their jobs and were deprived of their property. There was
no social status for the Muslims. So they demanded separate homeland.
 Islamic Culture and Civilization:
Success of congress in election of 1937 and capturing the leadership was an enough
proof that the Hindus wanted to demolish Muslim civilization and culture. Even
now and then new intrigues were hatched to destroy the Muslim’s religious values.
The breeding of cows and to worship them was the reckoned cultural of Hindustan.
The Hindu community was planning to prevail upon Muslims in their customs and
ceremonies. The Muslim ceremonies were interfered whereas the Hindu festivals of
Diwali, Lorhis, Desehra were celebrated with great pomp and show. In short, if
India were not divided, this country would have become a pure Hindu state and the
next generation of Muslims would have been Muslim only by name, but it would
have been impossible for the Muslims to follow Islam practically.
