What is ideology

Ideology is a French word. An ideology is a set of aims and ideas that directs

one's goals, expectations, and actions Ideology is a product of great and influential minds

or divine guidance. The term ‘ideology’ means science of ideas.

Here's what Webster's dictionary gives us for ideology:

1 : visionary theorizing 2 (a) : a systematic body of concepts esp. about

human life or culture b : a manner or the content of thinking

characteristic of an individual, group, or culture c : the integrated assertions, theories, and aims

that constitute a sociopolitical program

Components of ideology

1.Common Religion 2. Common Culture 3. Common Causes 4. Sincere Dedication and Pledges

Common Religion

The effects of religion produce a certain way of thinking.

The traditions and the social behaviour of all the individuals become same due to the teachings of religion.

Thus religion constitutes a collection of certain thoughts which later appears in the form of an ideology.

Common Culture

The way of life of the people belonging to a certain region or geographical environment has some special values on the basis of common religion;

the way of life constitutes the social life in the form of a civilized culture.

Common Causes

The people belonging to a certain religion or geographical environment constitute common social and economical causes for the solution of their problems, due to this their social behavior becomes same in this respect, and hence an ideology is formed among them.

For example the achievement of Pakistan was a common cause under the influence of ideology.

Sincere Dedication and Pledges

The pledges and sincere dedication are also necessary for an ideology because an ideology becomes successful only when all the people accept it completely. Thus a dedication is developed with the ideology, hence the power of the ideology increases. For example the Muslims of South Asia are highly dedicated to their common causes for seeking freedom and establishment of a Muslim State.

Two Nation Theory

The phenomenon of Two-Nation theory originated with the advent of Islam in the Sub-Continent (712AD).Quaid-e-Azam once said:

“Pakistan was created the day the first Indian national entered the field of Islam."

From the above statement, it is clear that ideology of Pakistan is an Islamic one.

Two Nation Theory

Mahatma Gandhi, speaking in the second session of the Round table conference in London in 1931, said that the quarrel between Hindus and Muslims was ‘core view with the British advent’ in India. It would be difficult to maintain such a position historically because the conflict between Hindus and Muslims had started long before the emergence of the British power in India.

Two Nation Theory

. In an interview with Beverlay Nicholas, the founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah said in 1944

“You must remember that Islam is not merely a religious doctrine but a realistic and practical code of conduct. I am thinking in terms of everything important in life. I am thinking in terms of our history, our heroes, our art, our architecture, out music, our laws, our jurisprudence”.

Two Nation Theory

It means the cultural,political,religious,economic and social dissimilarities between the two major communities.Hindus and Muslims of the Sub Continent.

These difference of out look ,in fact,were greatly instrumental in giving rise to two distinct political ideologies which were responsible for the partition of India into two independent states.

Two-Nation theory

It states that Muslims and Hindus are two separate nations from every definition; therefore Muslims should have a separate homeland in the Muslim majority areas of India, where they can spend their lives according to the glorious teachings of Islam.

Factors Creating the Idea of Separate Homeland

Religious Differences Hindu Nationalism Cultural Differences Social Differences Economics Differences Educational Differences Political Differences

Hindi Urdu Controversy Congress Attitude Partition of Bengal Language Anti Muslim Campaign In Acceptance of British Rule Hindus Betrayed Muslims Refusal of Muslim Identity War of 1857

Sir Syed's Idea

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was the first Muslim leader who presented the idea of ‘Two Nation Theory’; he was the pioneer of the ‘Two Nation Theory’.

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan first used the word ‘Two Nations’ for Hindus and Muslims.

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was convinced by the hatred of Congress and Hindus towards the Muslims that both nations cannot stay unite in the single country and the future of the Muslims will safe only if they have their own separate country.

Quaid e Azam and Ideology of Pakistan

On March 22, 1940 in his presidential address to the All-India Muslim League Lahore session, the founder of Pakistan M A Jinnah made it plain that “The Hindus and the Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, and literature. They neither intermarry, nor interdine together, and indeed they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. He further said ,Musalmans are a nation according to any definition of a nation, and they must have their homeland, their territory and their State “

Ideology of Pakistan & importance of two nation theory

Today the world community comprises of more than 180 countries.

Pakistan appeared on the world map in August 1947, and became the first Islamic ideological state of the modern times. Unlike the non-ideological states, it was not established due to any geographical conflict or territorial domination by a group of people.

If the ideology of such a state like Pakistan is dead then its existence can be questioned. Therefore, Pakistan can’t exist if there is no more ideology of Pakistan.

Ideology of PakistanAllama Iqbal & Ideology of Pakistan

Allama Iqbal never used the word Pakistan in his speeches but in all his speeches he demanded separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent.

His sayings are considered as the ideology of Pakistan

Ideology of PakistanIslam is complete code of life

Annual meeting of Muslim league on December 29, 1930 at Allahabad, he said:

“Islam is not the name some beliefs and customs but it is a complete code of life. In, Europe, religion is very one’s personal matter which divides the human oneness into two opposite parts i.e. body and soul. In contrast to that in Islam, God, Universe, soul, matter, state and religious places are bound to each other or in other words Muslims are one nation.”

Ideology of PakistanIslam is a lively powerIn his Allahabad address:

“Islam is a lively power which frees human mind from country and race’s thoughts. If we understand this thing then we can be the leaders of prominent Indian civilization”

Islam is the way to success

“The lesson which I learnt from history is that Islam always helped the Muslims at the time of difficulty but Muslims did not save Islam. Even today, Ideology of Islam can save you being from destruction by uniting you divided powers”


Demand for separate Muslim Homeland

“I desire that by joining Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, N.W.F.P, a separate state should be made which is under

the British rule or outside the British rule. This is necessary because in North West, a separate Muslim State has become the fate of Muslims. I demand for the benefit of Islam and of

the subcontinent, a strong Islamic state is created”

Ideology of PakistanThe Quaid-i-Azam & Ideology of Pakistan

Formation of Islamic democracy

Said on August 14, 1947 at a press conference:

“In reality we had learnt democracy 1300 years ago. So when you talk about democracy, I doubt that you have not studied Islam”


Opposition of Racism & prejudices

In Dhaka on March 21, 1948 he said,

“You do not talk in term of Bengali, Sindhi, Balochi or Pathan rather you remember the lesson of 1300 years ago that we are not Sindhi, Balochi or Pathan but we are Muslims and only Muslims”


Difference between Islam & Hinduism

“Islam & Hinduism are not only two religions but they are also two different social systems. These two nations are related to two different civilizations that base on such thoughts which are cons to each other. These ideologies are different to each other. Hindus and Muslims cannot create a common nationhood. So Muslims are in need of a separate homeland where they can spend their lives socially, economically and politically according to their faith.”

Ideology of PakistanNo need of any “ISM“except IslamIn March 1944, while addressing the students, Quaid said,

“Islam is our guide and a complete code of life. We neither need any red or yellow flag nor we need any socialism, communism, Nationalism or any other ism”

Protection of Islamic civilization

“Our aim is the creation of such a state which flourish in the light of our civilization & where Islamic ideologies of social justice can completely bloom”


Need of testing the Islamic Education

Addressing to the students of Islamic College of Peshawar on January 13, 1948, said,

“We demanded Pakistan not for a piece of land but we wanted such a laboratory where Islamic principles could be tested”


As in the beginning of the 11th century, Al-Biruni observed that Hindus differed from the Muslims in all matters and habits. He further elaborated his argument by writing that the Hindus considered Muslims "Mlachha", or impure. And they forbid having any connection with them, be it intermarriage or any other bond of relationship. They even avoid sitting, eating and drinking with them, because they feel "polluted".


Quaid stated…. That Hindus and Muslims belong to two different

religious philosophies, with different social customs and literature.

They neither intermarry, nor eat together, and indeed belong to two different civilizations whose very foundations are based on conflicting ideas and concepts.

Ideology of Pakistan Their outlook on life and of life is different. In spite of the passage of about 1,000 years the

relations between the Hindus and Muslims could not attain the level of cordiality.

The only difference between the writing of Al-Biruni and the speech of Quaid-i-Azam was that Al-Biruni made calculated predictions, while Quaid-i-Azam had history behind him to support his argument.
