Conclusion
All the above mentioned principles were present in the Objective Resolution that is why this
resolution is considered an important event in the constitutional history of the country. It was
accepted by all classes of people. It provided a guide line for the future constitutions of
Pakistan which were passed in 1956, 1962 and 1973. It consisted of such principles which
revealed that character of constitution shall be Islamic.
Pakistan came into existence on 14th august 1947. Soon after its establishment Pakistan faced number of problems.
Most of the problems of Pakistan were related with Pakistan dispute with India, such as the accession of the princely
states, canal Water dispute, refugees' problems and distribution of armed and military assets. Infect most of these
problems were deliberately created by India itself so that Pakistan would not maintain its independent status and
soon merged with India. (Nehru told General Sir Frank Messervy in 1945, “his deliberate plan would be to allow
Jinnah to have his Pakistan, end gradually makes things so impossible economically a nd otherwise for Pakistan that
they have to come on their banded knees and asked to be allowed back to India
The first problem that Pakistan had to face was to choose a capital to form a Government and to establish a
secretariat. • Karachi was chosen as the capital of Pakistan. • Quaid-e-Azam took the office of the Governor General,
Liaquat Ali Khan was appointed as Prime Minister and a Cabinet of experienced persons was selected.
A boundary commission was set up under a British Chairman, Sir Cyril Redcliff. He misused his powers and handed
over Muslims majority areas like Gurdaspur, Ferozpur and Junagadh to India hence providing them a gateway to
Kashmir. Quaid-e-Azam called “it an unjust, incomprehensible and even perverse award.”
It was announced on July I, 1947 that Indian army would also be divided in ratio 65 to 35 in India's favor it was with
reference of the communal balance present in the British Indian Army. Pakistan received was nothing but scrap and
out of order machines, broken weapons, unserviceable artillery and aircraft. There were 16 ordnance factories and all
were located in India. Pakistan was given 60 million rupees towards its share in the ordnance factories. Pakistan did
not receive the due share of the military assets till now. This dishonest attitude put Pakistan into great difficulties.
At the time of division there was cash balance of 4 billion rupees in the reserve Bank of India which was to be divided
between India and Pakistan in the ratio of 17 to India and 5 to Pakistan. Pakistan was to receive 750 million rupees,
which was in initially delayed by the Indian Government. After the protest of Pakistan, India agreed to pay 200
million rupees. As the war between India and Pakistan had started on the issue of Kashmir India again stopped the
rest of the amount. However, the remaining 50 million rupees are still not paid. The money was Pakistan's rightful
share. India deliberately withholds it because they hoped that Pakistan would become bankrupt.
5. Economic Problems
When Pakistan came into existence, it mostly consisted of economically backward and underdeveloped areas. The
agricultural system was obsolete and outdated which added to the economic backwardness of the areas forming
part of Pakistan. The entire capital was in the hands of the Hindus. Unfortunately, the banks and other financial
institutions were located in Indian territory .Besides these factors the technical experts and laborers, who operated
the industries, were all Hindus because the Muslims extremely lagged behind in education and financial capabilities
After the establishment of Pakistan language controversy was started between East and West Pakistan. The
members of the Constituent Assembly belonged to East Pakistan demanded that instead of Urdu, Bengali should be
made national language of Pakistan. In March 1948 while addressing at Dhaka, Quaid-e-Azam declared, “Urdu and
Urdu alone would be the national language of Pakistan."
7.Electricity Problem
Due to transfer of Muslim majority areas to Bharat and unfair demarcation, electricity system of West Punjab was
disrupted ,because all power stations were at Mundi, a predominantly Muslim majority area, gifted to Bharat but
Quaid-e-Azam said: “If we are to exist as a nation ,we will have to face the problems with determination and force.”
8.Kashmir Dispute
Kashmir dispute is the most important and unsolved problem. Kashmir is the natural part of Pakistan because at the
time of partition 85% of the Kashmir’s total population was Muslim. The Hindu Dogra rule ,who was secretly with the
Government of India declared Kashmir as a part of India. Pakistan has continuously insisted that Kashmir must get
their right of self determination but due to non- cooperation of India, Kashmir issue still remain unsolved.
The boundary of India and Pakistan in way that it cut across the rivers and canal making India the upper beneficiary
and Pakistan the lower beneficiary. Most of the rivers flowing in Pakistan have their origin in India. In 1948, India
stopped water supply to Pakistani canals to damage the Pakistani agriculture. However on 9th September, 1960 on
agreement called Indus Basin Treaty was signed between the two countries.
At the time of establishment of Pakistan the Government of India Act 1935 became the working constitution of
Pakistan with certain adoptions. The need of a constitution framed by the elected representatives of the people was
necessary for free people. So the first constituent assembly was formed and was given the task to frame the
constitution for the country. But the constituent assembly failed to frame a constitution even in eight years. Lack of a
permanent constitution created chances of corrupt interference in democratic progress of Pakistan.
QUAID’S VISION
Jinnah, like many other Muslim leaders of the subcontinent who strived for the
creation of a new state comprising the Muslim majority areas, was a modernist.
The three streams of philosophy that influenced movement for Pakistan,
unfortunately, got pushed back with the second generation of Pakistani leaders
— constitutional struggle for the protection of minority rights, modernism and a
territorial state. Let us spell these ideas in some detail.
The cultural roots of minority Muslim nationalism go back many centuries. Over
time, Muslims developed a deep sense of identity but within the Indian context.
As the issues of representation in the elected assemblies and state institutions
under colonial rule emerged important for all communities, the Muslim
community began to raise demands for proportionate representation. The
community thought it was their right to do so, which was, on occasion, granted
through separate electorates. As the Muslims and other parts of the Indian
nation struggled for independence, the constitutional protection of rights in the
post-colonial, unified state emerged as the defining issue for the Muslims. They
wanted it to be settled before the English left; it was the collective failure of the
British, Congress and the Muslim League that galvanised the demand for
Pakistan. What we have done with our own religious minorities after
independence is another story — truly heartbreaking.
There is a social and political category all over the world called the modernists
that we also find among the dreamers and founders of Pakistan. The modernists
don’t reject the past, or the heritage in cultural and religious spheres. They
essentially live in modern times and propose and implement solutions to the
contemporary problems of the society on rational, pragmatic and practical
grounds.
