Question No. 3
Analyze the events of Khilafat Movement. What were its impact on Muslims?

Background

Britain and her allies (the United States of America being one of them emerged victorious as

a result of the First World War 1914-1918. Aftermath of the war was the punishments to all
axis countries. Turkey due to their friendship with Germany entered in the war against allied

forces. There is a great threat to the institution of Caliph of Turkey who was symbol of unity

for the Muslims of the world. Another risk was the dismemberment of Turkish Empire.

Muslims of the sub-continent started a movement in Hindustan against England for these

dangers against Turkey.

IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE KHILAFAT MOVEMENT

Establishment of the Khilafat Committee

In order to organize a mass movement and launch an opinion-forming campaign, a committee

was formed in 1919, it was named as “the India Khilafat Committee”.

Hindu-Muslim unity and Non-Cooperation

In the year 1919 the Indian National Congress decided to support the Muslims on the Khilafat

issue, and authorized Gandhiji to chalk out a road map for that matter. Gandhiji brought

forward a programme of non-cooperation with the government, which was to be executed in

four stages.

Khilafat Delegation

In 1920 a delegation headed by Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar set off for London. The British

refused to give an ear. The delegation, however, held some meetings and explained its position

to the general public.

The Treaty of Sevres

In May 1920, the Allied Forces decided on Turkey’s fate under the treaty made at Sevres. The

Empire was stripped off its occupations in Europe and Arabia. The Treaty was named after the

venue where it was concluded.

Non-Cooperation Movement

Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, Maulana Shaukat Ali, Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, Maulana Abu-

ul-kalam Azad and Maulana Hasrat Mohani set the Indian emotion on fire with their speeches.

An all-India Hartal was observed on the appeal of the Khilafat Committee on August 1, 1920.

Gandhiji was elected leader of the non-cooperation movement. As a part of the non-
cooperation programme courts were boycotted, government servants resigned services,

students all over India quit educational institutions and many of the British title holders

surrendered their titles and decorations as protest. Ali's brothers were convicted on charges of

high treason and given 2 years rigorous imprisonment.

Civil Disobedience

In November 1921 the people were given a call to break law and disobey the government by

refusing to pay taxes and by all other possible means. About 20000 people courted arrest as a

result of this call.

Mopla Uprising

Moplas were a Muslim community settled on the south Indian shores. They claimed to be the

descendants of the Arab traders. In the year 1921 there was a clash between the moplas and

the Hindu business lords of the area on issues of purely local nature. These incidents provided

the British government with a golden opportunity of creating rift between the Hindus and the

Muslims. exaggerated reports about Hindu-Muslim riots were spread. This state of affairs

caused great setback to the khilafat movement.

Chora Chori Incident

In the year 1922, an infuriated mob at Chora Chori, a small town in the UP laid siege to a

police station and set it at fire. 21 policemen were burnt alive.

Civil Disobedience Called off

Gandhiji said that since the civil disobedience movement had deviated from its avowed path

of non-violence, it was necessary to call it off. He made this decision at a time when the

movement had reached its climax.

Reaction of the Leadership: The entire leadership of the movement, the Hindu and the Muslim

alike was stunned at this sudden decision. Most of the leaders thought that this decision was

without justification and had caused great setback to the Movement.

Abolition of Khilafat: Ataturk came to power in Turkey. In the year 1923 he abolished the

institution of Khilafat. This proclamation came as the final death blow to the Khilafat

Movement in India.

Khilafat Movement: Results and Consequences

Apparently Muslim efforts to keep the institution of Khilafat alive failed but otherwise these

efforts had far reached impact on the Indian politics i.e.

1. Beginning of common man’s politics in the sub-continent:

In was the first popular movement which touched almost all parts of the sub-continent. It was

through Khilafat platform that the leaders of public opinion came very close to the common

man. It gave people the consciousness which was to serve as a motivating force behind the

Muslim struggle for the achievement of Pakistan in the days to come.

2. A step towards the Liberation of India

It was an important step towards the liberation of India from the shackles of the British rule.

The forceful expression of India’s popular sentiments against imperialism helped the British

rulers to understand that it was impossible to keep India under their control forever, they started

to make their mind to quit.

3. Spirit of global Muslim brotherhood strengthened.

The Khilafat Movement strengthened the spirit of Pan-Islamism and the feelings of global

Muslim brotherhood. Its failure made the Muslims realize that religious issues cannot be

resolved through agitational politics.

4. Inspiration for the Turk soldiers

Although the Indian Muslims did not succeed in achieving their core objectives, yet the khilafat

Movement did great service to the Turks who were fighting the war of their survival. Speeches

and statements of the Khilafat leaders were translated and spread in Turkey, and it gave the

Turk soldiers courage to consolidate and strengthen their position in the areas left for Turkey

after the war was over, and drive the enemies out of the Turk areas.
5. Success of a moderate approach

The moderate Muslims leaders like Allama Muhammad Iqbal and the Quid-e-Azam were

second to none in their sympathies for the Turks, but they did not indulge themselves in the

politics of agitation or the emotional frenzy spurred by the Khilafat leaders. They believed that

no substantial success can be achieved through emotional and agitation politics. Result proved

that these leaders were right. Failure of the Khilafat Movement enhanced people’s trust and

confidences in moderate politicians.

Question No. 4

What is the significance of Pakistan’s location from geo-strategic of view?

Answer

Location of Pakistan

Pakistan lies between the latitudes of 24° N to 36° N and between the longitudes of 61° E to

75° E. It has an area of 796096 square kilometers. In North West of Pakistan there is

Afghanistan, Pakistan shares their frontiers with China in North, India in east, Iran in its west

and in south there is Arabian sea.

Here are some points which show the Pakistan’s Geo-Strategic position in the global world.

Central Position in the Muslim World

By virtue of its location, Pakistan occupies a central position in the Muslim countries of the

world. Pakistan is located in the midst of the extensive chain of the Muslim nations spreading

from Morocco in the West to Indonesia in the Far East. Appreciating this esteemed position,

the Vice-president of Libya Abdus-Salam Jalloud during his visit to Pakistan in 1978, called

Pakistan “the heart of the Muslim world”.

Importance in world politics

Pakistan came into being only two years after the termination of the Second World War. In the

post-war period the USA and the USSR emerged as super powers. These two countries

struggled hard to win the support of the smaller countries of the world and enhance their

respective spheres of influence. This period is called as Cold War era. Pakistan became the

frontline state in the alliance with USA to contain Russian expansionism.

Due to its location, Pakistan joined SEATO and CENTO (Defense Pacts) and got a sizeable

military aid.

Leadership of the Third World

Due to her unconditional loyalty with American block Pakistan could not attain a respectable

position amongst the non-aligned and the third world countries. In the later period when

Pakistan adopted a policy of non-alignment her image in the third world countries started
improving. In the year 1979, the then President of Pakistan was designated to represent the

Muslim World at Havana Conference of non-aligned countries. Pakistan is an active member

of NAM now.

Anti-Expansionism Stance

In spite of her merger resources, Pakistan took a firm stand against the expansionist designs of

the Soviet Union and offered sustained resistance to the Russian intrusion in Afghanistan.

Pakistan fought that war for Afghanistan, all the free world as well as American block

acknowledged Pakistan’s services. This war resulted in the defeat of USSR in Afghanistan and

lead to the ultimate dismemberment of the Super Power in 1991.

Centre of trade and Transit Routes

Pakistan is placed in a highly strategic position on the world map. It is located in the center of

the road and rail links between the countries of the Far East and Iran, Turkey and Europe. Air

and sea ports of Karachi offer a central transit point between the European and the Asian states.

Transit Facilities for Afghanistan and the Landlocked Central Asian States

Pakistan started in the days when the Supreme Soviet Empire was enjoying a position of

command in the world affairs. The Soviet Union occupied enormous area, larger than any other

state in the world. Pakistan did not share boundaries with the Soviet Union, only a small 20

km strip of Afghan territory known as ‘Wakhan’ separated Pakistan from the Soviet state of

Tajikistan. In the year 1989, as a result of her defeat at the hands of Afghans, Many Muslim

majority states that formed part of the defunct Soviet Empire are now independent. These all

states are land locked or having frozen seas for most part of the year. CPEC is designed to give

an easy access to China, Afghanistan and all these Central Asian States to Gwadar port. By

this way Pakistan can get many more opportunities of trade and friendship with all states.
Question No. 5

Give a detail account of the relations between Pakistan and the People’s Republic of

China.

Answer

Introduction

Pakistan’s northern neighbor China is the most populous country of the world. The People’s

Republic of China was established in Oct. 1, 1949. Pakistan recognized the newly established

Chinese government in Jan. 1950. Chiang Kai Sheik’s nationalist government after its defeat

at the hands of Mao’s Communist Party had to take refuge in Taiwan but till long after the

establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Nationalist China, which represented only a

very meagre number if the Chinese population, was allowed to retain seat in the UNO.

Pakistan Participation in SEATO and CENTO

In 1950, Pakistan took a strong stand that the People’s Republic of China had an exclusive

right to represent the Chinese people in the United Nation Organization. In 1950 Pakistan

remained neutral on the China’s occupation of Tibet. Pakistan joined SEATO and CENTO in

1955. The two military alliances were sponsored by the United States of America and mainly

aimed at containing Communist expansion. China naturally had certain apprehensions about

Pakistan’s membership of these alliances, but in the Non-Aligned Conference held in Bandung

(Indonesia) in 1955, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Ali Bogra assured Chinese Prime

Minister Chou En Lai that Pakistan’s membership of the alliances was in no way directed

against the People’s Republic of China. Prime Minister Chou acknowledged the explanation

by expressing is gratitude for the Prime Minister of Pakistan for his cordial gesture.

In the year 1954, Pakistan for the first time voted against China’s membership of the United

Nations. The Chinese government observed restraint, and did not even bother to comment on

this unfriendly gesture on the part of Pakistan government. Chinese positively knew that

Pakistan did this under American Pressure.

India China War

In the year 1962, India ventured a military advance to disputed area on Indo-Chinese border.

The Chinese were able to repel Indian forces through brief but rapid military action; they taught

the Indians a befitting lesson but were not tempted to prolong the issue and remained silent.

First Transport Agreement

First transport agreement between Pakistan and China was concluded in the year 1963.

It was in the year 1964 that China decided to support Pakistan on Kashmir issue, and since that

time her diplomatic support on the issue has remained consistent. In response to this, Pakistan

rendered useful support to China, for securing a seat in United Nation Organization.

Indo Pak war and China’s role

During the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war, China gave Pakistan full support, but in 1971 war, China

could not support Pakistan openly because the Soviet Union stood openly on the Indian side.

In the post-war-period, however, China gave Pakistan large scale military and economic aid

and helped Pakistan rebuild its economy and recover the damages caused due to war.

Pak role in the friendship of US and China

Americans traditionally had distaste for Communist governments, they, naturally did not like

the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in the year 1949. But as the time passed

by the American policy towards China changed. Nixon was the first American President, to

realize the importance of Sino-American friendship, and it was in his period that the American

Foreign Secretary Henry Kissinger flew secretly from Pakistan, landed in Peking and had

dialogues with the Chinese leadership. The news was made public only after the mission had

been successfully concluded. Cessation of hostilities between the two powerful foes paved way

for China’s membership of the United Nations, twenty-one years after her inception. This was

made possible only through Pakistan’s good of offices.

1. The Karakorum Highway

Karakorum Highway inaugurated in the year 1978, opened a new era of friendship between

Pakistan and China. The volume of trade carried out between the two countries through thus
route is expanding day by day. Construction of this highest land route in the world, cutting

through the formidable mountains, was not easy task, a great number of Pakistani and Chinese

workers laid their lives during the process of this construction. Karakoram Highway is more

than 900 km long.

2. Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra

Military aircrafts are repaired and overhauled in this complex. Pakistan’s indigenous aircraft

Mashshak was designed and produced completely in this complex.

3. Gwadar Port

A new seaport at Gwadar (Balochistan) is being put up with the Chinese assistance. It is

believed that this new seaport will bring about revolution in Pakistan’s economy, improve

Pakistan’s interaction with the landlocked Central Asian Muslim States, and help Pakistan

meet her naval defense requirement in a better way.

4. Saindak Project

Due to scarcity of resources and absence of technical know-how, Pakistan was unable to make

use of the large copper deposits found in the province of Balochistan. A big project for this

purpose has now been feasible with the Chinese assistance.

5. Cooperation for the Improvement of Pakistan Railways

System of Railways in Pakistan is being upgraded and improved with the technical assistance

provided by the People’s Republic of China.

6. Cooperation in the field of Nuclear Energy

In order to meet its deficiency in the energy sector, Pakistan has built a nuclear power station

at Chasma (District Mianwali) with Chinese assistance.

Time allowed: 2.15 hours Total Marks: 40

Note: Answer any eight parts from Section ‘B’ and attempt any two questions from Section ‘C’
on the separately provided answer book. Write your answers neatly and legibly.

SECTION – B (Marks 24)

Q.2 Attempt any EIGHT parts from the following. All parts carry equal marks.
(8  3 = 24)
i. In your opinion what is the main point as the background of Pakistan Resolution?

Ans. There are so many points in the background of Pakistan Resolution but the main
point is Two Nations Theory. In Hindustan, there were so many nations from
which Hindus and Muslims were two major nations. They were quiet opposite to
each other. Hindus were prejudiced people they could not bear the prosperity of
the Muslims.

ii. The rehabilitation of refugees was one of the greatest problems Pakistan had faced
at the time of Independence. Explain briefly how?

Ans. According to reliable estimates 5.5 million people migrated from Pakistan to India
and 6.5 million came from India to Pakistan. In this way the already feeble
economy of Pakistan was made to bear the burden of one million more people.
Rehabilitation of refugees and provision of basic needs for them was an enormous
problem. The Quaid-e-Azam established a “Refugee Relief Fund” to catter this.

iii. Which temperature zone in Pakistan has the highest variation in temperature?
Briefly elaborate it.

Ans. Upper Indus Plain is the temperature zone of Pakistan with the highest variation
in temperature. In the certain areas temperature goes as high as 50°C. Winters
however, are short and tolerable. At times it gets very cold and uncomfortable, but
generally, the sky remains clear and sun makes the climate pleasant.

iv. Write brief note on how do climatic changes affect human life?

Ans. In Pakistan, climate varies from place to place. These variations have deep effects
on people and their lives. In northern highland people build houses with sloping
roofs to make them safe from abundant snowfall. They wear heavy clothes and
stay in their homes. Winter sea breeze reduces effects of high temperature. In
deserts it is very hot in day time. It makes life uncomfortable.
v. What steps were taken by the President Zia-ul-Haq to build an Islamic National
Spirit in Pakistan?

Ans. Following steps were taken by President Zia-ul-Haq to build an Islamic National
Spirit in Pakistan.
1. Pakistan Studies was introduced as compulsory subject.
2. Wearing of the national dress was encouraged and in some cases made
 compulsory in the courts and other government institutions.

assume his office during the reign of Hazrat Umer?

Ans. 1. He will not ride a Turkish Horse.

2. He will not wear thin and delicate cloth.
3. He will not use refined flour.
4. He will not set a gatekeeper at his door.
vii. How would you justify that Pakistani culture is heterogenous in terms of
character? Write a short paragraph.

Ans. Pakistan is not inhabited by a single ethnic group. The area which now forms
Pakistan attracted people from different parts of the world; these people came here
and made this land their permanent homeland. The social system which is now
identified as “Pakistani Culture” has emerged as a synthesis of Arab, Iranian,
Greek, British and number of other cultural impacts.

viii. Why should Urdu be the National language of Pakistan? Write three reasons to
support your answer.

Ans. 1. Urdu has a very close resemblance with all the regional languages of Pakistan.
2. Urdu is the lingua franca; it is spoken and understood by people living in all
areas of Pakistan.
3. Urdu is a vast and beautiful language; it has assimilated many beautiful words
from other languages.
ix. Why is national integration significant for an Islamic democratic state like
Pakistan? Write in a short paragraph.

Ans. National integration is important for every country, but in Islamic country like
Pakistan, its importance increases many times. People can seek fraternity,
brotherhood and passions of sacrifice by living together. They can face all the
internal and external problems bravely.

x. Why is the economic planning indispensable for the development of a state?

Write three points on it.

Ans. Following are the points:

1. National income needs to be enhanced.
2. Standards of living needs to be improved by increasing per capita income
level.
3. A better balance of payment needs to be acquired by improving foreign
exchange earning capacity.

xi. Which country is believed to be the most trustworthy friend of Pakistan?

Enumerate three reasons for that.

Ans. China is believed to be the most trustworthy friend of Pakistan. Following are few

 Chinese assistance.
3. China has always supported Pakistan in all international forums like UNO.

SECTION – C(Marks 16)

Note: Attempt any TWO questions. All questions carry equal marks. (2 8 = 16)
Q.3 What was the Cabinet Mission Plan? Why did Congress and Muslim League react
differently? (5+3)

Ans. THE CABINET MISSION PLAN

The Cabinet Mission was a high-powered mission sent in March 1946 to India by the
then British Prime Minister Lord Attlee. The mission comprised of three senior ministers of the
British cabinet, Mr Patheic Lawrence, Sir Stafford Cripps and Mr A.V. Alexander.
Main Points of the Cabinet Mission Plan
➢ Indian Union
The subcontinent will be given the status of a Union in which Federal government will
control the foreign affairs, defence, communication and taxation. All other affairs will be handed
over to the provinces.
➢ Grouping Scheme
India will be divided into three groups of provinces:
Group A: The Hindu majority provinces (Bombay, Madras, UP, CP and Orisa)
Group B: The Muslim majority provinces (Punjab, Sindh and NWFP)
Group C: Bengal and Assam provinces
➢ Separation from Indian Union
It was said that one or two groups may quit their respective group and form their
independent position after 10 years.
➢ The Constituent Assembly
The members of all provincial assemblies will elect the Constituent Assembly which will
formulate a constitution for the whole of the subcontinent.
➢ Establishment of Interim Government
The interim government will be formed which will run until the new constitution is formed.
Representatives of major political parties will be included in the cabinet and no Britain will be
part of the Indian cabinet.
➢ Veto Power
The option was given to Indian political parties that they could accept or reject the
proposals as a whole and the party which accepts this plan will also be given a chance to form
the interim government.
➢ Reaction Of Political Parties
o Reaction Of All India Muslim League
The party workers became disappointed upon the proposals of the Cabinet Mission Plan
as the demand of Pakistan was totally ignored. However, the Quaid e Azam and some other
Muslim leaders saw a ray of hope in the grouping scheme and became sure that Pakistan may
become independent after 10 years because Muslim League was fighting for a separate
homeland for the Muslims of Subcontinent and considered Pakistan as their ultimate destiny.

o Reaction of All India Congress Party

The immediate reaction of Congress leaders was positive as they considered the plan
to be the defeat of Muslim League. Nehru's statement was published in national Herald in
which he said that Cabinet Mission Plan had buried Pakistan of Mr Jinnah. On the other hand,
Gandhi declared this plan as an appeal and an advise. He wanted to give maximum powers to
Parliament in which Hindus will dominate and later on the Congress would be able to
withdraw the safeguards given by the British to the Muslims.
 The first reaction of both the parties was different from each other. The Muslim League
on the advice of Quaid-e-Azam accepted the plan and later on the Congress also accepted the
plan.

Q.4 How does the United Nation’s Charter explain the fundamental human rights? (8)

Ans. The United Nations

The traumatic events of the Second World War made it clear that human rights are not always
universally accepted. After the war, governments worldwide made concrete efforts to maintain
international peace and stop conflicts in future. This resulted in the formation of the United
Nations in 1945.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
On 10th of December 1948, the Teneral Assembly of United Nations announced 30 rights and
freedoms that belong to all of the humans around the globe and since the seven decades, these are
still the bases for all international human rights laws also called as the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights(UNHR).
Additional features of the UNHR are following:
Equality:
All human beings are born free in having their own thoughts and ideas and they should be treated
in the same way.
Abolition of Discrimination
According to UN charter, no discrimination regarding race, colour, sex, creed, language, religion
should be made across the world.
Right of Self Preservation
The UN charter says that all human beings have the right to life, to live with liberty and freedom.
Prohibition of Slavery
UN charter says that no one has the right to inflict torture and no one can be made as slave or no
one can be treated inhumanly.
Right of Basic Necessities
All the people have the right to have enough food to eat, clothes to wear, house for living and all
other basic necessities required for leading a better life.
Right To Live Peacefully
Everyone around the globe has the right to live peacefully in any orderly society in all other
countries.
Protection of Human Rights by UNO
The UNO has set up some offices who internationally look around the violation of human rights
and they take action. Some are as following:
Office of The High Commissioner for Human Rights
This office supports the human Rights components of peace keeping missions in several
countries and in addition to its regional offices has HR centres at different offices and human
rights advisors all over the world.
Human Rights Council
The Human Rights Council is an independent UN inter-governmental body which is responsible
for protection of human rights.
Human Rights Treaty Bodies
The Human Rights Treaty Bodies are committees of independent experts that monitor the
implementation of the core international human rights treaties. They are composed of
independent experts in human rights.
In this way United Nations across the globe is trying to protect the basic human rights of all the
individuals regardless of their creed race, gender and religion.

Q.5 Pakistan-USA relations underwent many ups and downs. Discuss in detail. (8)

Ans. The Background

Pakistan came into being in 1947 and since then United States of America was one of those
countries which wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Pakistan. The Quaid-e-Azam did
receive a formal message from American government even before the: Independence was
formally proclaimed. Pakistan and USA tied knots with each other for the military and
economical support. Pakistan signed many pacts with the USA and during this era, USA
provided Pakistan with military and economic aid. However, these relations went many ups and
downs which are explained below.
The Cold War Era
During the cold war era, the US and USSR both tried to extend relations with the newly
established countries. Pakistan decided to join hands with Americans in this cold war era.
PM Liaquat Ali Khan's Visit to USA
Pakistan received invitation from both the USA and the USSR but the Prime Minister Liaquat
Ali Khan decided to visit USA in 1950 by turning down the invitation received from the Soviet
Union.
The Mutual Defence Treaty
In May 1954, Pakistan signed Mutual Defence Assistance Agreement with the United States.
Under this agreement, many Pakistani soldiers went to United States for military training
whereas the United States also established a Military Assistance Advisory Group in Rawalpindi.
Defence Pacts
Pakistan became a member of SEATO and CENTO which were defence pacts set up under the
umbrella of USA against the communist Soviet Union. But unfortunately Pakistan could not get
support from the member countries of these defence pacts when Pakistan had a war with India in
1965 and 1971. Therefore Pakistan left these alliances.
Peshawar Air Station
In 1956, the President of The United States requested Pakistan for an access to use the Peshawar
air station for surveillance against Soviet Union. Pakistan granted this access to USA.
No Military Support in Wars With India
Besides a very close friend of America, Pakistan could not get military sport from America in its
wars against India in 1965 and 1971.
Problems in Pak US Relations
The Decade of 1970s saw the downfall in the relations of United States with Pakistan.
As Pakistan could not get sport from America in its wars with India, therefore, Pakistan foreign
policy was shifted from America to China and Russia. Pakistan tried to make some better
relations with Russia. Moreover, the United States put embargoes on Pakistan blaming that
Pakistan had started nuclear programme.
However, in 1979, after the Russian invasion on Afghanistan, Pakistan became an apple of
American’s eyes due to its geo-strategic location. During this period from 1979 to 1989, Pakistan
got military and economic aid worth of billions of dollars from United States of America.
However, by the end of Afghan jihad, The United States adopted Pressler Amendment which
banned most of the military and economic aid to Pakistan.
Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s Visit to United States
In 1995, Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto visited United States and requested the then US
President Bill Clinton to lift the embargoes on Pakistan and launch a program to eradicate
militancy from the region. The Americans then passed the Brown Amendment which became
very helpful for Pakistan.
Nuclear Tests
In 1998, despite of the phone calls and pressure imposed by the American President Bill Clinton,
Pakistan conducted nuclear tests in Chaghi hills. Then the Americans again imposed sanctions on
Pakistan.
Cooperation in War against Terror
Pakistan became an important strategic ally of America after 9/11 attacks to eradicate terrorism
in the region. On this, the USA left all the sanctions imposed on Pakistan and gave billions of
dollars in the shape of military and economic aid to Pakistan.
Current Scenario
At present, Pakistan and United States, after so many ups and downs in their relations, are trying
to find some good ways in improving the bilateral relations. The visit of Pakistani Prime Minister
and foreign Minister to US during United Nations General Assembly sessions every year become
very helpful in improving the relations with the United States.

 SECTION – C (Marks 16)

Note: Attempt any TWO questions. All questions carry equal marks. (2 8 = 16)
Q.3 What are the main causes for the establishment of All India Muslim League?

Ans. Background:
1. Establishment of the British System of Government: The system introduced after the
establishment of the British Government in the year 1858, was democratic in nature. Since the
Hindus outnumbered the Muslims in Indian population they were on a surer ground under the
new political system. The British had already crippled the Muslims economically. If a system
based on majority rule, pure and simple, were established the Muslims were surely going to lose.
This state of affairs called for a Muslim political platform to voice Muslim demands effectively.

2. Hindu Extremism: We have already learnt about Urdu-Hindi controversy spurred by the
Hindus in 1867, the Hindus demanded replacement of Urdu by Hindi as official language.
During the same period, Hindu extremists started programmes like the “Arya Samaj” with a
purpose to reconvert the Muslims into Hindu religion. Hindu writers spread hatred against the
Muslims among their followers.

3. Establishment of the Indian National Congress: A retired British Civil Servant A.O.
Hume established the Indian National Congress in the year 1885. The Hindus welcomed it
enthusiastically and joined it in great numbers.

4. Demand for Separate Electorate: Sir Sayyid believed that the British system of
elections, pure and simple, did not suit the Indian conditions, because this will reduce the
Muslims to a position of permanent slavery and subservience to the majority community. He
proposed the system of separate electorate as an alternative. This system obviously could not be
made useful unless the Muslims had a political party of their own.

5. Partition of Bengal and the Congress Attitude: In the year 1905, the British
government divided the province of Bengal into two parts. Since the newly created province of
East Bengal had a Muslim majority, the Muslims were to benefit from this partition. Hindus
launched a strong protest against this decision of the government throughout India. The province
of Bengal was the main target of the saboteurs. The Muslims were greatly disappointed when
they saw that the Congress, notwithstanding all its claims of neutrality, was supporting the Hindu
extremists openly.

6. Change of Government in Britain: Liberal Party returned to power in the 1905

elections held in Britain. The party gave a programme of political reforms meant for India. The
Muslim leaders discussed the situation and decided to make a common cause for taking up the
demands of the Muslim community with the government.

7. The Simla Deputation: Thirty-five top ranking Muslim leaders taken from all parts of
the sub-continent called on the then Viceroy Lord Minto at Simla on Oct. 1, 1906. Important
Muslim demands presented to the Viceroy included; reserved quota of seats of Muslims in all
representative bodies and separate electorate; The Viceroy expressed sympathy with the Muslim
demands and promised to take them up with the British Government. The Muslim leaders were
greatly encouraged by the Viceroy‟s response.

Q.4 Which guiding principles of good governance distinguish Islamic State from other states?

Ans. Islamic pattern of state demands that the relationship between the Individual and the state
are organized on a pattern that should neither cause stress and oppression for the individual, nor
allow the government to exert its authority autocratically.
Islam wants to create a political culture based on complete balance between the objectives of the
state and aspirations of the citizens. These Islamic principles can be upheld by observing certain
principles. The Islamic conduct of state is based on the following guiding principles which
distinguish Islamic state from other states.
 People should be allowed to exercise their free will in the selection of the head of the
state. He should be a person distinguished due to his outstanding merits of knowledge
and Allah fearing (taqwa). Quran says.
“……. Verily most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous
of you…..”
 All the institutions of the state should be run strictly according to law. All citizens should
be equal before law.
 No discrimination among the citizens should be made on the basis of colour, race, and
place of domicile, language, creed or gender.
 Basic social, political and religious rights of the citizens should be safeguarded. All the
citizens should enjoy equal freedom.
 Usury (riba) should be strictly prohibited and accumulation of wealth discouraged.
 It should be the duty of the state to collect Ushr, Zakat, Khums, and Sadaqaat from the
wealthy and spend it for the uplift of the poor and the destitute.
 The state should take the responsibility of providing all the citizens with basic human
needs. These basic needs include food, shelter, dress, old age pension and health
facilities.
 An Islamic state should administer justice without discrimination. Allah had ordered his
Rasool and all the Muslims to do justice, whatever the circumstances be, Quran says.
“….. and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from
justice, be just; that is next to piety; and fear Allah……”
 An Islamic state should discourage all moral vices like lying, breaking of the promise and
covenant, backbiting and untrue allegation, and miserliness greed and avarice, taking
bribe, usurp, theft, robbery, falling short the balance and measurements, drinking,
gambling, arrogance, and hypocrisy.
 It is the duty of an Islamic state to provide free and compulsory education for all citizens.
The education scheme should include not only basic literacy but also higher Islamic
learning, linguistics as well as the physical and social sciences on the highest possible
level.
 An Islamic state is established not merely for the maintenance of peace. It has higher
objectives to achieve and it has to work for the moral and spiritual uplift of its citizens. It
prepares them for a successful life in their world and deliverance in the Hereafter.
Q.5 “Saudi Arabia is one of reliable best friends of Pakistan”. Elaborate this statement in the
light of Pakistan – Saudi Arabia relations.

Ans. Religious Relations: Pakistan has always enjoyed very cordial relations with Saudi
Arabia, based on religious fraternity. Holy Kaba and Masjid-e-Nabvi are the objects of deep
reverence and love for every Muslim, wherever he lives in the world. The Muslims of the Sub-
continent always expressed their feelings of deep love for Saudi Arabia. Notwithstanding the
pressures and strains of international diplomacy, Saudi people reciprocated these gestures of
good will in the like manner. On many occasions late king Faisal of Saudi Arabia expressed his
deep feelings of love for Pakistan by saying that Pakistan was his second homeland. Faisal
Mosque in Islamabad stands as a living monument of King Faisal‟s love for Pakistan and Saudi
People‟s love for their Pakistani brethren.
Economic Cooperation: Pakistan‟s technical defense assistance programmes for Saudi Arabia
started in the year 1967. Under these programmes great number of Saudi students came to
Pakistan and earned degrees in the field of Medicine and Engineering. Thousands of Pakistani
experts are working in different fields in Saudi Arabia and making valuable contributions to the
development of the country. Mentioned below, are some important projects accomplished
through Saudi-Pak cooperation.
 Building of cement, polyester, fertilizer factories in Pakistan with Saudi assistance. Pak-
Saudi Fertilizer Factory in Mirpur Mathelo, Pak-Saudi Joint Investment Company, Al-
Jazira Bank.
 In the field of trade both countries have given each other the status of “the most favoured
ally”. Imports and exports are carried out on a very large scale between the two countries.
Identity of views: During the days of our freedom movement, most of the Arab countries
supported the Congress point of view but Saudi-government and people rendered unflinching
support to the cause of Pakistan. In order to educate the world community about the cause of
Pakistan and gain international support in favour of Pakistan Movement, the Quaid-e-Azam sent
a delegation to New York during the General Assembly session in 1946. Shah Faisal, who was
then the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia, supported the cause of Pakistan and assured the
delegation of full Saudi support.
On the perplexing Bangladesh issue, the Saudi government stood steadfastly by Pakistan‟s side
and did not recognize Bangladesh until Pakistan itself did so.
High level ties: History of close friendly ties between the two countries dates back to the days of
the Pakistan movement. Each Saudi head of the state paid several visits to Pakistan during his
tenure of office; same is true about Pakistani heads of state and government. King Faisal played a
key role in making the Lahore Summit Conference (Feb. 1974) a success.
Saudi government helped Pakistan in running her programmes of Islamization, like
implementation of the system of Zakat, teaching of Arabic language and Islamization of legal
system. In 1978 King Khalid deputed a special envoy for assisting the government of Pakistan in
the process of Islamization. Islamic University in Islamabad, established with the Saudi
assistance, is symbolic of Saudi commitment to the Islamic reconstruction of the Pakistani
society.
In the year 1980, when a group of militants desecrated the Holy Kabah by taking over the
Haram, people of Pakistan expressed great resentment against the rebels and a group of Pakistani
commandos assisted the Saudi authorities in restoring the sanctity of the Holy Ka‟bah.
Relations between countries are generally guided by national and diplomatic considerations, but
relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia transcend all these considerations, these are based
on feeling of real fraternity and Islamic brotherhood. These ties are different in nature from the
diplomatic relations governments usually have, these are deeply ingrained in the hearts of the
people of the two countries. “Faisal Road” “Sharah-e-Faisal”, “Faisal Chowk”, “Faisal Square”
and “Faisal Park” are very familiar names and sights for all Pakistanis and these are found in
almost all the big and the small cities of Pakistan, and these manifest the great love Pakistanis
have for their Saudi brethren.
