The Birth of Pakistan is a Historical Event

“India has never been a symbol of unity of Hindu-Muslim civilization. It is not possible for the British Government to create homogeneity between Hindu and Muslim culture and civilization as the two systems are distinctively opposed to each other. There is no way other than the partition of India”

“As I looked at the TV, a tiny voice in my heart whispered to me: ‘Why don’t you go there and fight for women’s rights? Fight to make Pakistan a better place?’... ‘I will continue this journey of fighting for peace and democracy in my country.’ I was only ten, but I knew then that somehow I would find a way” (55).

It became evident that the British could maintain the empire only at enormous cost. At the end of the Second World War, they saw the writing on the wall, and initiated a number of constitutional moves to effect the transfer of power to the sovereign State of India. For the first and perhaps the only time in history, the power of a mighty global empire 'on which the sun never set', had been challenged and overcome by the moral might of a people armed only with ideals and courage.

(Document 5) This shows that even though Britain gave education to Indians they only gave it to who could afford it and hardly anyone could. Lalvani claims that over the 200 year span of British imperialism, India’s religions felt safer and less discriminated against. ( According to Dr.Lalvani) Although the British thought this was true it actually was not. Christians were mocking and discriminating against Muslims and Hindus. (Gandhi) Similarly Hinduism believes in nonviolence so when the protest at Amritsar took place the Indians were brutally slaughtered while being unarmed. (Gandhi) Because of their non-violence beliefs the Hindus had no defense and were killed by what they thought was their

At the point when World War 2 broke out with Germany on 3 September, 1939, England relied on backing from her domain, including India. Around the same time the Emissary, Master Linlithgow, announced that India was at war with Germany. Indians were informed that 'the security of India was debilitated by war'. This was done without counseling any political gathering in India. In dissent at this overbearing activity, all Congress common government surrendered. By and by the Congress asserted to represent all Indians. Muslims were very satisfied to see the end of these administrations. The Quaid-i-Azam approached Muslims to praise the end of Congress guideline on 22 December 1939. He called it the 'Day of Deliverance' and it was broadly bolstered.

The Quran, Islam’s foundation, also preaches many of the values familiar to democracy. Bhutto references the Quran, stating “(Allah)... created people of different views and perspectives… and that diversity is good” (178). She goes on to offer her interpretation of the holy book, saying “the message of the Quran empowers people with rights (democracy)” (178). By using multiple references, Bhutto establishes her knowledge of the governing body of Pakistan and the Islamic religion. It is difficult for the reader to doubt her authority on the subject.

Hamid shows Changes perception of individuality. People like Changes suffered a lot in America and got interest to know native identity. Native culture and identity is awesome for every individual. Changes worries that even after all the sacrifices and services of Pakistanis has never treated Pakistan as ally or friend. There is probability that Americans might have encouraged Indians to envy with Pakistanis. Hamid painfully conveys that Americans never treat non- European Counties as their friends and they treat like tissue papers.

Modern day Pakistan’s land has traditionally been Muslim for many years. In the early nineteenth century it was ruled by Britain and considered part of the British Indian Empire. In 1947, a partition was granted from the British, and Pakistan and India were created as their own countries. As the previous British Empire divided,

Mountbatten traveled to Karachi to exchange energy to the recently made condition of Pakistan on fourteenth August 1947. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was confirmed as the first Governor General of Pakistan. Liaquat Ali Khan assumed control as the first Prime Minister. Domain of the condition of Pakistan was partitioned into two sections. These two sections known as East Pakistan and West Pakistan, were isolated from one another

The British’s goal to separate the Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs was a total disaster. “The trouble was that Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were an integrated population so that it was impossible to make a border without widespread dislocation.” This quote states that making a border was impossible because the groups aren’t meant to be spread apart. “By the end of 1947 there were virtually no Hindus or Sikhs living in west India - now part of Pakistan - and no Muslims in the Indian east.” This explains how the British made Pakistan because of the partition. “The British government and Mountbatten must bear a large part of the blame for this tragedy." Therefore, the British caused religious violence and disagreement against each

The epicenter of Pakistani culture is in danger. Punjab is a region that spans from Pakistan to India, is about the size of the U.S. state of Wyoming, contains over half of Pakistan’s population, and is home to an immense amount of Pakistani culture. One particular city in Punjab, Lahore, is described as Pakistan’s “cultural capital.” Islamic extremists known as the Taliban are now trying to dismantle the so-called “cultural capital” in hopes of assuming control of the country. Over the past couple of years, the Taliban have assaulted the province with waves of terrorism. The National Geographic Magazine article titled “Pakistan’s Heartland Under Threat” is about author John Lancaster’s adventure into the Pakistani province with the objective

In this essay I hope to look at the issues of conflict in South Asia focusing on India and in particular the continuing Hindu-Muslim tensions, and look at possible reasons for the continuing conflict which appears to have escalated since the withdrawal of British Rule from India. Multiple events had shaped the Indian subcontinent with

To Rani, ‘people dying here, others dying there’ (cited in Butalia, 2000, p.268) was something that happened every day, it was no surprise to her. Thus, Rani’s cynical view about the future of India and Pakistan was conceivably drawn from memories of witnessing horrendous fights and strife throughout her whole life (cited in Butalia, 2000, p.268).

Since it’s separation from India in 1947, Pakistan steadily grew to a country with a population of about 184.35 million people in 2013, making it the sixth most populous country in the world (“About Pakistan”). Pakistan is broken into four provinces: Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (“About Pakistan”). Its capital is the city of Islamabad. While Pakistan has taken many steps to improve the state of its people in recent years, the prevalence of poverty, gender inequality, inequities, political instability and a struggling economy have proved very challenging for the country (“About Pakistan”). These factors also

After 1947, Pakistan felt that Pakistan is deprived because Kashmir has a majority of Muslim people and they have a right to choose their future
