The Ideology of Pakistan is based on which theory?

  • (A) Two-Nation Theory
  • (B) One-Nation Theory
  • (C) Jingoism (Nationalism)
  • (D) Islamic Nation Theory
  • The Two-Nation Theory was a theory of Indian history that posits that Hindus and Muslims were two separate nations. The reason for this belief was due to what they claimed to be differences in religion, culture, habits and civilization between the two communities that were sufficient to cause separation.
  • The self-identity of the nation-state of Pakistan is understood through the prism of the Two-Nation Theory. It posits that the Hindus and Muslims of the Indian subcontinent comprised two separate nations; differentiated by religion, culture and identity. According to the maker of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah the Muslims were a separate nation and hence needed a separate country where they could be allowed to live with honour and pride in accordance with their religion. Thus, 14 August 1947 saw the dawn of a new nation-state known as Pakistan; a homeland of exclusive relevance to the Muslims of the sub-continent.
