JINNAH AND THE CREATION OF PAKISTAN

Jaibir Singh

Volume: 4 Issue: 1 2014

Abstract:

The idea of Pakistan was not an Islamic state - under Sharia Law and serving as a bastion for the Islamic faithful - but a land where Muslims of India would not fear Hindu economic, political, and social domination. That fears itself was grossly exaggerated and could have been better addressed without creation of a separate state.
