 Section A
Answer the following question.

This question is about the early problems of Pakistan in 1947.

1 Study the given sources carefully and then answer the questions which follow.

Source A
If we are to exist as a nation and give shape to the dream of Pakistan, we will have to
face the problems with determination and force. Our people are disorganized and
disheartened by the difficulties we face. Their morale is low and we will have to work
harder to pull them out of their despondency and galvanize them to action. All this throws
a greater responsibility on government servants, to whom our people look for guidance.
