Recently the Politics of Pakistan has taken place in the framework of a federal republic, where the system of government has at times been parliamentary, presidential, or semi-presidential. In the current semi-presidential system , the President of Pakistan is the head of state, the Prime Minister is head of government, and there is a multi party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is largely vested in the Parliament. http://www.vustudents.net

Pakistan has been under the influence of its military almost since it was founded. The Intelligence agencies have a huge role in the politics since the beginning in making and breaking the political parties. The president, in keeping with the constitutional provision that the state religion is Islam, must be a Muslim. Elected for a five-year term by an Electoral College consisting of members of the Senate and National Assembly and

members of the provincial assemblies, the president is eligible for reelection. But no individual may hold the office for more than two consecutive terms. The president may resign or be impeached and may be removed from office for incapacity or gross misconduct by a two-thirds vote of the members of the parliament. The president generally acts on the advice of the prime minister but has important residual powers. One of the most important--a legacy of Zia--is contained in the Eighth Amendment which gives the president the power to dissolve the National Assembly "in his discretion where, in his opinion . . . a situation has arisen in which the Government of the Federation cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and an appeal to the electorate is necessary." The Thirteenth Amendment which was passed in 1997, revoked this power. In December 2003, the President's power was partially restored by the Seventeenth Amendment. In April 2004, the Presidency's influence was augmented by an Act of Parliament that established the National Security Council, a body chaired by the President.

The prime minister is appointed by the members of the National Assembly through a vote. The prime minister is assisted by the Federal Cabinet, a council of ministers whose members are appointed by the president on the advice of the prime minister. The Federal Cabinet comprises the ministers, ministers of state, and advisers. As of early 1994, there were thirty-three ministerial portfolios: commerce; communications; culture; defence; defence production; education; environment; finance and economic affairs; food and agriculture; foreign affairs; health; housing; information and broadcasting; interior; Kashmiri affairs and Northern Areas; law and justice; local government; minority affairs; narcotics control; parliamentary affairs; petroleum and natural resources production; planning and development; railways; religious affairs; science and technology; social welfare; special education; sports; state and frontier regions; tourism; water and power; women's development; and youth affairs.

(PPP) in 1988. In the Benazir Bhutto government of 1988-1990, he was Minister of Tourism from March 1989 to January 1990 and Minister of Housing and Works from January 1990 to August 1990. Later, under another Bhutto government, he became Speaker of the National Assembly in October 1993, serving in that post until February 1997.

He has been elected various times as the Member of National Assembly from Multan. In the 2008 general election, he beat Pakistan Muslim League (Q) (PML-Q) leader Sikandar Hayat Bosan..

Gilani escaped an assassination attempt on September 3, 2008,when unidentified gunmen fired shots at his motorcade near the garrison city of Rawalpindi, officials said. The shooting occurred shortly after Gilani was returning from an official visit to the eastern city of Lahore. His motorcade was going to Islamabad from the high-security Chaklala military airbase in Rawalpindi. A spokesman for the Prime Minister's House said Gilani and members of his staff had escaped unhurt and were safe.He said police had been put on high alert and an investigation launched into the incident. The unidentified assailants fired at Gilani's motorcade on a highway. At least two shots hit the Prime Minister's bulletproof vehicle, TV channels quoted officials as saying. State-run PTV beamed footage of the damage caused by the bullets to the window of the driver's door of the vehicle. Reports said the incident occurred at a spot where former premier and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif's motorcade was fired at on December 27 last year, shortly before Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairperson Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a suicide bombing in Rawalpindi.

According to Gillani's press secretary, Zahid Bashir, a car carrying Gillani was hit by two bullets in an attack near Islamabad on September 3, 2008; Bashir said that Gillani was unharmed. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

Asif Ali Zardari (born 26 July 1955) is the 11th and current President of Pakistan and the Co-Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Zardari is the widower of Benazir Bhutto, who twice served as Prime Minister of Pakistan. When his wife was assassinated in December 2007, he became the leader of the Pakistan People's Party. He is one of the top five richest men in Pakistan with an estimated net worth of US$1.8 billion (2005).

Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on 27 December 2007, shortly after returning to Pakistan from exile. On 30 December 2007, Asif Ali Zardari became the co-chairman of the PPP, along with his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is currently studying at Oxford. Bilawal is intended to fully assume the post when he completes his education.

After the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, Zardari reaffirmed his lack of interest in the prime ministership. Chairman Zardari and Mian Nawaz Sharif, leader of the PML-N, along with some smaller political parties, joined forces in an electoral coalition that won a heavy majority in the elections and unseated Musharraf's ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q).

What are the main reasons behind Pakistan's low literacy rate?

Reasons behind Pakistan's low literacy rate:

Education is a right; not a privilege. Being a free citizen every individual has the right to live, speak, write etc.

It is the prime responsibility of a government to ensure that all citizens get the basic fundamental rights of

citizen at their doorstep.

History has witnesses that no nation has been able to accelerate in terms of development without

considering these aims as pre-requisites. Education is one of these basic rights that provide a tool for

development to nations. Pakistan is one of the developing countries that is thriving for improvement in this

area. Each and every government has launched a stream of five year plans that were arranged so as to fulfill

the Millennium Development goals.

However all resulted in vain since there was no or meager improvement in this regard. A lower literacy rate

is an outcome despite such acts. Since the inception, education is the most neglected area and the situation

did not improve despite of taken measure to educate people. Even there is a large population who did not

receive basic education. It was 15 years back, the government allotted 2.6 % of the G.D.P for the progression

of education however, to add injury to an insult, it was limited to 1.8% and the situation got worst.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yousaf_Raza_Gillani

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faryal_Talpur

There are other developing nations like Turkey which allot most of its G.D.P to Education department,

Pakistan ignored this department. With such non serious attitude towards Education, and there remain a

dearth of well -educated and skillful individuals. Among the SAARC Nations, Pakistan is at the sixth and at

the 159 th position among the 174 World countries. According to a Government Official Report, the literacy

rate in Pakistan is 34 % which is doubtful.

The lower literacy rate is said to be an outcome of greater population, poverty and unemployment; however

it cannot be justified since there are other countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Kenya etc where the

advancement in literacy rate was observed despite of such factors. Take another example, Sri Lanka, a fellow

SAARC Nation enjoys the same per annum income as Pakistan however it has 90 % literacy rate. It is said

that about 2 Crore, 2 Lacks children are yet to get enrolled at Primary level. The present situation in

education imparting institution is more than worst.

Take an example government schools 54% of our population never went to school. About 46 % are enrolled

in Public schools. Most of these schools have large premises however lacked the facilities of electricity, water

and sanitation. Even some are ghost schools and don't even exist yet the funds are utilized by the authorized

personals. People unsatisfied with such situation of Public schools, can not admit their wards to Private

schools since the tuition fees are quite high as compared to public schools.

Education has been converted into a fruitful business and we can find a number of Private schools located in

the same area within short distances. These schools are opened in small bungalows which are rental and do

not suit to a standard school premise. Another drawback is that the Private schools are limited to urban

areas and these have no presence in rural areas. Another noticeable point is that a good number of

population is admitted to Madarsas ;which are institutions of Islamic religious teachings. These offer free

teaching so where there is inflation all around, people find it as a blessing in disguise.

The Government fund is not properly utilized due to the absence of basic and prerequisite strategy. This has

lead to downfall in education and slow progress in literacy rate in Pakistan In short, we are not utilizing our

resources to our potential. It is this inadequate utilization that is the root cause of downfall in literacy rate.

The Khilafat movement (1919-1924) was a pan-Islamic, political campaign launched

byMuslims in British India to influence the British government and to protect

the Ottoman Empire during the aftermath of World War I. The position of Caliph after

the Armistice of Mudros of October 1918 with the military occupation of

Istanbul and Treaty of Versailles(1919) fell into a disambiguation along with

the Ottoman Empire's existence. The movement gained force after the Treaty of

Sèvres (August 1920) which solidified the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire [1] .

In India, although mainly a Muslim religious movement, the movement became a part of the wider Indian independence movement. The movement was a topic in Conference of London (February 1920). The Lucknow pact showed that it was possible for middle-class, English-educated Muslims and Hindus to arrive at an amicable settlement on Hindu-Muslim constitutional and political problems. This unity reached its climax during the Khilafat and the Non-Cooperation Movements.After World War I, the Ottoman Empire faced dismemberment. Under the leadership of the Ali Brothers, Maulana Muhammad Ali and Maulana Shaukat Ali, the Muslims of South Asia launched the historic Khilafat Movement to try and save it. Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi linked the issue of Swaraj with the Khilafat issue to associate Hindus with the movement. The ensuing movement was the first countrywide popular movement.The Muslims of India had a strong feeling of identity with the world community of Islam. They had seen the decline in the political fortunes of Islam as the European powers conquered the Muslim lands one after the other. The Anglo-Russian convention of 1908 had reduced their next-door neighbor Iran to a mere dependency. Afghanistan also suffered as it was a bone of contention between Russia and Britain, and was now under the latter's sphere of influence.The general impression among the Muslims of India was that the western powers were waging a war against Islam throughout the world in order to rob it of all its power and influence. The Ottoman Empire was the only Muslim power that had maintained a semblance of authority and the Muslims of India wanted to save the Islamic political power from extinction.As an institution, the Khilafat had a checkered past. It had originally migrated from Medina to Damascus and from Damascus to Baghdad. For sometime it was located in Egypt, then it fell to the lot of Turkey, very much as a prize. The Turkish Sultans had claimed to be the caliphs of the Muslim world. As long as the Mughal Empire had been in existence, the Muslims of India had not recognized their claim. At this critical juncture, when the Muslims of the Sub-continent had no sovereign ruler of their own, they began to see the necessity of recognizing the Sultan of Turkey as their caliph. Tipu Sultan was the first Indian Muslim who, having been frustrated in his attempts to gain recognition from the Mughals, had turned to the Sultan of Turkey to establish a legal right to his throne.

The European powers had played a leading role in reducing the might of Turkey in Europe to Eastern Thrace, Constantinople and the straits in the Balkan Wars (1912-13). To seek revenge, the Turks decided to side with the Germans against the Allied Forces.

The Indian Muslims supported this decision.

Muhammad Ali argued that for Muslims to accept mandates over Iraq, Syria and Palestine would amount to a total disregard of the wishes of the Holy Prophet (S. A. W.). Thus the Muslims of India launched the Tehrik-i-Khilafat. The objectives were as follows:

1. To maintain the Turkish Caliphate.

2. To protect the holy places of the Muslims.

3. To maintain the unity of the Ottoman Empire.

Although the Khilafat Movement failed to achieve its declared objectives, it carried political awakening to large masses of Muslims. It was during the Khilafat days that representatives of Indian Muslims came into contact with eminent personages from other Muslims countries to save the semblance of unity in the world of Islam.

The Khilafat Movement was an asset for the struggle of Pakistan. It made clear to the Indian Muslims to trust neither the British nor the Hindus, but to look to their own strengths for self-preservation.

(d) Sir Sikandar Hayat http://www.vustudents.net

Hayat, Sikandar, Sardar Sir (1892-1942) Statesman. A political figure in *British India and a graduate of the Aligarh and London universities, Sir Sikandar was a major land-owner of northern *Punjab. From 1935 to 1936, he served as Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, and was a member of the Boards of eleven major commercial and

industrial companies. Between 1935 and 1942, he served as President of the Punjab National Unionist Party. After signing the Liaquat-Sikandar pact in 1937, under which Muslim members of the Unionist Party could also enjoy membership of the *Muslim League, he was also simultaneously a member of the *All-India Muslim League. From 1937 to 1940, he served as Chief Minister of Punjab. Elevated as Governor Punjab, he died in office in 1942. (e) Separate Electorates The ideology of Pakistan took shape through an evolutionary process. Historical experience provided the base; Allama Iqbal gave it a philosophical explanation; Quaid-I Azam translated it into a political reality; and the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, by passing Objectives Resolution in March 1949, gave it legal sanction. It was due to the realization of the Muslims of South Asia that they are different from the Hindus that they demanded separate electorates. However when they realized that their future in a ‘Democratic India’ dominated by Hindu majority was not safe, they changed their demand to a separate state.

Total Questions: 6QuestionNo.1Marks:20What were the problems faced by the newly state of Pakistan in 1947?

ANS: The attainment of independence brought an end to one phase of the struggle and marked the beginning of a new one for setting up and running a viable, stable and prosperous state. Pakistan began its independent life under very difficult and unfavorable circumstances. Pakistan faced serious problems in the initial stages.1. New Administration2. Division of Assets3. Integration of Princely States4. Communal Riots and Arrival of Refugees5. Canal water and trade issues1: New AdministrationThe shortage of trained human power especially senior officers was a serious problem in thesetting up of federal government in Karachi. Most of them had migrated to India. There was ashortage of office space, equipment and furniture. This disturbed the direct connections betweenthe federal government and provincial governments. On the other hand, the provincialgovernments were overburdened that needed very accurate connection between the centre andthe provinces to solve the problems of the Muslim refugees who had nothing to

eat, drink, wear,rest, etc. To counter the critical situation, the official system should have been efficient but due tothe lack of all these facilities the administrative authorities were painfully facing difficulties.2: Division of Assets http://www.vustudents.netThe Indian government was not cooperative for transfer of record and equipment to Pakistan.The civil administration was not handing over the promised financial, military, and other sharesthat created mountainous hurdles to eradicate the pains and miseries of the refugees.Financial AssetsThe full financial share of Pakistan was not transferred. Initially rupees 200 million weretransferred that were not sufficient to meet the expenditures of the newly born state. TheIndian government was so reactionary that it tried its level best to block these funds tosuffocate the newly born Muslim state as they expected foolishly that Pakistan wouldcollapse and rejoin India soon after its existence. They did not release the remainingfunds until Gandhi’s threat of marn bert (fast until death). Under this pressure, more fundswere sent in early 1948 but no installment was later paid.Military’s DivisionAs far as the problem in dividing man power there was no serious setback because thedivision was not in the hand of third person and Muslims were free to come to theirdreamland, Pakistan. Anyhow, their shifting was slow and insecure. There wereobstacles in the Pakistan’s share of weapons, equipment, and stores. The broken anddamaged stuff was sent by India. Pakistan did not get any ordinance factory.Reorganization of the Armed Forces was another tough job and the there was no armyofficer up to the rank of colonel. The shortage of experienced officers convinced Britishofficers to continue their services. This also accelerated undue promotion in the militaryservices to fill the gap.3: Integration of Princely StatesThere were over 560 princely states in India on the verge of the partition of India. About 500states had joined India before August 15 because of the motivation by V. P.

Menon andMountbatten. The princes were inclined to honour every gesture of the British representative sothey conceded what the member of the Royal family (Mountbatten) wished. The Hindu-Britishconspiracy blocked states to join Pakistan.JunagadhIt was a small state with access to sea having about 7 lakh population and 3377 milearea. The ruler was Muslim while the majority of its population was Hindu. The rulerdecided to accede to Pakistan and Pakistan also accepted the accession. In November1947, the Indian troops entered the state and took its control. The referendum favouredIndia.HyderabadIt was geographically big and financially a rich state. Its ruler was Muslim and majoritypopulation was Hindu. It was surrounded by India from all sides. The Nizam wanted tostay independent. Mountbatten discouraged him and signed Standstill Agreement. ButIndia built pressure on the Nizam by sending its troops in September 1948 claiming thatserious law and order situation had developed. The state was integrated in India.KashmirThe most important state was Kashmir naturally connected with Pakistan. Its ruler wasHindu while population was Muslim. The population inclined towards Pakistan but theHindu ruler declared to join India. The Kashmiri people revolt against the ruler in Pooncharea and soon it became widespread. The ruler sought Indian support. India demandedaccession. On October 27, 1947 Indian troops landed in Srinagar. The people continuedtheir struggle for independence and India promised to finally settle the matter withreference to the people under the UN Resolutions.4: Communal Riots and RefugeesThe Communal riots occurred earlier in August 1946. The killing of Muslims in Indian areas forcedthem to leave India. The Sikhs and Hindus attacked the refugee caravans and trains. There wereorganized gangs to kill the Muslims. The refugee problem created critical

condition in the borderareas. The massive migration proved serious economic and humanitarian problems for the newstate. The military was asked to help cope with the refugee problem.5: Canal Water ProblemThe major rivers flow from Kashmir and some canal heads located in India. In 1948, India cut offwater to some canal that was a serious threat to agriculture in West Pakistan. The Indian plans tobuild water storage on the rivers that are vital for Pakistan’s economy worsened the situation. Italso showed the traditional anti-Muslim attitude. The World Bank settled the problem inSeptember 1960 (Indus Water Treaty).6: Trade Problem and the EconomyIndia devalued its currency in 1949 but Pakistan refused to do so. It stopped trade that adverselyaffected Pakistan’s economy as it depended on trade from India. Pakistan had inherited a weakeconomy and poor industrial base. The beginning years of Pakistan were troubled and difficultdue to the India’s non-helpful policy and the war in Kashmir. It had profound impact on Pakistan’sworldview and its relations with India. Pakistan strived for its survival and security. Many Indiansand the British predicted the collapse of Pakistan. They were of the opinion that very soon theMuslims would realize their blunder. They would be forced by the circumstances to go back tojoin India. But PAKISTAN, by the grace of Almighty Allah, was able to meet the challenge evenwith its problems.

Question No.2Marks : 20


(a) Scientific SocietyThe establishment of the Scientific Society is landmark in the educational movement of Syed Ahmad. It was established in Ghazipur and then moved with Syed Ahmad to Aligarh. First publication took place in Aligarh, Jan 9, 1864. Its main objective was to translate the classical works of English (Literature, Science, Engineering and Agriculture)

into Urdu. Its stated injective was to “bring the knowledge and literature of the Western world within reach of the immense masses of the people of the east. In 1866, the Society became “Aligarh Institute Gazette” and continued to be published until Syed’ death.

(b) The Allahabad Address of Allama Muhammad Iqbal . Iqbal presented a review of the political and social situation of India and solution of the illsbefalling India. He evaluated the importance of role of Islam in the lives of Muslims of British India. He said that the European view of duality of religion and state does not apply here in the Indian society. Rejecting the secularism he said, religion is not a totally personal affair.He explained that Islam offers an ethical order, socio-political structure, legal framework, code of life, culture and civilization. It is a living, dynamic force that has a profound impact on the lives of Indian Muslims. With the force of Islam the scattered and disoriented people have been turned into an organized force.The Muslims are not willing to submerge their religious individuality. They have lack of trust, fear of domination from Hindus. If the British want any sort of internal harmony it would be impossible unless the communal question is settled. It’s historical reality that India is a continent inhabited by diverse people. No political arrangement may be acceptable without recognizing this reality.• If the Muslims have an opportunity to develop in accordance with their Islamiccivilization and tradition, they would be willing to sacrifice their lives for India.• Federalism cannot succeed without recognizing the national identity of theMuslims.• Territorial redistribution of British India on the basis of religion has become aneed of time.• Punjab, NWFP, Sind and Balochistan be amalgamated into a state, selfgovernment within the British empire or without it. The formation of such a consolidatedNorth Western Muslim state appears to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least ofNorth West India. To India, it will offer peace and security due to internal balance ofpower.• Islam is a people building force in India that has given moral consciousness andpolitical identity to the people.

(c) The Lahore Resolution http://www.vustudents.net The Muslim League held its annual session at Lahore on 22-24 March 1940. The LahoreResolution was moved by Maulvi Fazlul Haq and seconded by Ch. Khaliquzzaman that finallyapproved on March 24, 1940. Jinnah rightly expressed his valuable remarks about the politicalcircumstances of India and the Muslims stand. He said:

“Indian problem is not communal but international. No Constitution can workwithout recognizing this reality. Muslims of India will not accept a constitutionthat establishes a government of the Hindu majority on them. If Hindus andMuslims are placed under one democratic system, this would mean HinduRaj.”

: Describe the causes of the division of Bengal and its impact on the Muslim politics in

the subcontinentANS: United Bengal’s area covered 189,000 sq. miles with 80 million populations. Dr Abdul Hameedwrites in his book, Muslim Separatism in India, that the partition was imperative even if Curzon had not initiated it. A Lt. Governor had problems in looking after the eastern areas. Mainly Muslim suffered because of the rotten administration by the British. Before 1905, many proposals of partition of Bengal had been under consideration but Lord Curzon decided to practicalise thisadministrative scheme. East Bengal became incidentally a Muslim majority province having 13000000 out of 31000000. West Bengal was a Hindu majority province. Muslims were very happy on the partition as this had enabled them to promote their life conditions. It was rightly an opportunity for compensation. The Muslim community supported it strongly but Hindus retaliated furiously saying it the division of motherland. The Congress joined the anti-partition movement.They started widespread agitation, violence and boycott of foreign goods. The main reason ofHindu protest was that they had loosened grip over the eastern parts.

http://www.rajputbrotherhood.com/articlelibrary/20100816901/bal-gangadhar-tilak-biography.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Rule

ANS: The British Cabinet Mission of 1946 to India aimed to discuss and plan for the

transfer of power from the British Raj to Indian leadership, providing India with

independence under Dominion status in the Commonwealth of Nations . Formulated at the

initiative of Clement Attlee , the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom , the mission

consisted of Lord Pethick-Lawrence , the Secretary of State for India, Sir Stafford Cripps ,

President of the Board of Trade , and A. V. Alexander , the First Lord of the

Admiralty . Lord Wavell , the Viceroy of India , did not participate. The Mission's purpose

was:

1. Hold preparatory discussions with elected representatives of British India and

the Indian states in order to secure agreement as to the method of framing the

constitution.

2. Set up a constitution body.

3. Set up an Executive Council with the support of the main Indian parties.

The approval of the plans would determine the composition of the new government.

The Congress Working Committee had initially approved the plan. However, on 10

July, Jawaharlal Nehru, who later became the first prime minister of India, held a press

conference in Bombaydeclaring that the Congress had agreed only to participate in

the Constituent Assembly and "regards itself free to change or modify the Cabinet

Mission Plan as it thought best."[2] The Congress ruled out the June 16 plan, seeing it as

the division of India into small states[citation needed]. Moreover,the Congress was a Centralist

party. Intellectuals like Kanji Dawarkadas criticized the Cabinet Plan. Congress was

against decentralization and it had been under pressure from Indian capitalists who

wanted a strong Center. The plan's strongest opponent was the principal Indian

leader Mohandas Gandhi, due to the reason that the territories had been grouped

together on the basis of religion[citation needed].

The Muslim League gave its approval to the plan. There was an impression that the

Congress also had accepted the scheme and the Plan would be the basis of the future

constitution of India[citation needed]. Jinnah, in his speech to the League Council, clearly stated

that he recommended acceptance only because nothing better could be obtained[citation

needed]. However, on declaration from the Congress President that the Congress could

change the scheme through its majority in the Constituent Assembly, this meant that

the minorities would be placed at the mercy of the majority. The Muslim League Council

thrown into a permanent minority.

So the domination of WP was intolerable for the East wing. The language issue proved subversive to the national solidarity.

. First all Congress governments in the provinces launched anti-Muslim drive basically to exclude the ML and other Muslim organizations from the government making process. The Congress leaders had come to know that the ML had got roots in the masses. They started ‘Muslim Mass Contact’ movement to defame the ML in their favour. They were making cultural and educational policies that promoted the Hindu culture and symbols in the name of Indian culture. They introduced Banda-Mataram anthem from Annandmath in the institutions and offices etc. The Hindi language was given top most importance in their policies. Wardha Educational Scheme was to convert Muslims into

Hindus through primary educational literature. Projection of Hindu heroes like Gandhi and distortion of Muslim history became their moral creed. They followed the policy ofdiscrimination in services or new recruitment for jobs. The Congress ministries adopted overall negative and cruel attitude, especially towards the Muslim activists. This unjust treatment compelled the Muslims to be disciplined in every sphere of life.

Education provides better understanding of internationalenvironment that affects all of us. Islam asks Muslims to get education. Other religions also valueeducation.Resource allocation for education is far from satisfactory.

Question No: 38 http://www.vustudents.net ( Marks: 5 )

Describe the Background of the Constitution of 1962?BackgroundMilitary took over on 7 October 1958 and consequently Ayub Khan became Chief Martial LawAdministrator. One major task was to frame a new Constitution. The administration was critical ofParliamentary system because it caused instability in the past. They sought stability of the nationin the gradual development of democracy.


What were the main constitutional issues which Pakistan had to face at the beginning?Major IssuesThe major issues, the first constituent assembly faced, were about:1. Federalism2. Representation3. Separate or Joint Electorate4. The National Language Issue5. Parliamentary or Presidential system6. The Islamic or Secular State1: FederalismThere was consensus on federalism but yet there were many issues to be settled. The main wasthat Pakistan consisted of two territorial parts, East Pakistan (with more population, less territorybut administratively one unit) and West Pakistan (administratively 4 units). Federalism is meant toaccommodate such kind of diversity maintaining the unity of the state or country.Division of power:It was the most difficult question that how the power would be divided between Centre

and the Provinces. The heritage of British rule gave the tradition of a Strong Centre. But theprovinces were demanding more Autonomy and Provincial Rights.In the Interim Constitution and the 1956 Constitution tradition of strong centre continued.2: RepresentationRepresentation at the federal level was another conflicting issue because East Pakistan andWest Pakistan were different in population and size. On the other hand there was diversity inWestern part of Pakistan. The provinces of West Pakistan were also different in population andsize. All of them were sensitive to their representation and provincial autonomy.To have a Standard Formula for the representation of units and population the ConstituentAssembly (CA) formed a Basic Principle Committee (BPC) on March 12, 1949. The primary taskof this committee was to frame a set of basic principles for the future constitution of Pakistan.

3: Separate or Joint ElectorateSeparate electorate was adopted on the demand of Muslims in 1909 by the British Government.But the minorities did not favour this after independence. Religious elements supported this as apart of heritage.East: decided for Joint Electorate.West: Separate electorate.1957: Joint Electorate was adopted for all Pakistan by the National Assembly.4: The National Language IssuePre-independence: Muslim elite all over India adopted Urdu. In 1948 Jinnah declared that Urduwould be the national language but provinces could use their languages.Opposition against Urdu was there in East Bengal. This became more pronounced after the deathof Jinnah as controversies erupted on constitution making. Language Movement started in EastPakistan February, 1952.There was a complaint about anti Bengali language attitude of the federal government.Two-language formula was adopted in 1954. Since 1973 Urdu was adopted as national languagealong with the support for development of regional languages.5: Parliamentary or PresidentialThere was a consensus for parliamentary system. But there was a limited demand for presidential

system. Supporters of Presidential system became dominant after the 1958 military takeover.The 1962 Constitution was a Presidential constitution.7: The Islamic or Secular StateFrom the very beginning of Pakistan Movement there was an agreement that the state will haveclose relationship with Islam. Muslims defined their national identity with reference to Islam andits heritage. Some opposition came from the Congress members of the Constituent Assembly,and a few secularists.There was a BROAD AGREEMENT that the state will identify itself with Islam. The ConstituentAssembly took time to define the precise relationship between the state and Islam.


Write down a Comprehensive note on Pakistan’s Natural Resources. 1: Natural ResourcesMineral ResourcesRivers and CanalsForestsAnimals2: Agriculture1: Natural Resources:The resources endowed by the nature to the country and the people are called NationalResources, e.g., Mineral resources, rivers, forests and animals. Agricultural lands hold key todevelopment and prosperity of a country.The rate of development and prosperity of a country depends on efforts to make use of it.Effective management and human efforts are needed to avail them. Modern technology is alsorequired to make use of it.Mineral Resources:Pakistan is blessed with considerable mineral resources. Some of them are explored but muchremains to be done for the search for more. Some important resources are:� Iron Ore is used for industry, especially steel industry. It is found in limitedquantity and low quality. Most of the required Iron ore is imported from abroad. Itsdeposits are found in Chitral, Chaghai, Kohat, Kurram Agency, Mardan, Hazara,

Mianwali (Kalabagh) and DG Khan.� Chromite: is used in preparing other metals, leather tanning, making of steelproducts, armament and stainless steel. The deposits of Chromite are found in Zoab(Muslim Bagh), Chaghai, Malakand, Mahmand, Waziristan, Fort Sandaman etc.� Gypsum is used for plaster of Paris, Paints and Cement. It is found in Jhelum,Mianwali, DG Khan, Kohat and Loralai.� Sulphur is used by chemical industry. Its deposits are found in Kalat, Khairpur,Mardan, and Jacobabad etc.� Coal is used in power generation. It is basically used as fuel. It is not found ingood quantity and quality. It is mostly found in Sindh (Thatta, Tharparkar, Manara)Balochistan (Deegari, Sharig, Soer, Khost, Maach, Hernai), Punjab (Makarwal, Dandot),NWFP (Cherat and Noshera).� Oil: It is a major source of energy. It is mostly imported from Iran and Gulfstates. Now some valuable reserves are found in Jhelum, Mianwali, Attock, Balkasar,Mial, Chakwal, and Dhodak.� Gas: it is itself a source of energy and fuel, and also used as a source of powergeneration.

We have a welldefinedCanal system. The most important one is the Indus Basin project.What we require is the proper management of water, its conservation, effective use, storage,dams and flood control. Water is dangerous if it is too much, it become a problem if it is too little.It is used for Agriculture where it is the backbone of agro-economy. It is also a cheapest source ofhydroelectric Power generation.Forests:Normally 25 percent area of a country should be covered with forest. But in Pakistan it is only 4 to5 percent.Some areas are not suitable for plantation like deserts and dry mountains. It is because ofshortage of water and rainfall. Deforestation is also due to unplanned cutting of trees.Advantages:

Forests have many advantages. They are helpful in improvement of weather. Protect againstwindstorms, help in slow melting of snow to stop floods. They add greenery, beauty and fresh airto the environment. Plants are source of food, medicine, timber, chemicals and fertilizers. Theyare the homes of animals, birds and insects. They are also used as fuel.Animals:Animals provide milk, meat, hide and skins, wool etc. They are also used for agriculture andtransportation. They are a source of foreign exchange.Their proper breeding requires planning and care. Animal husbandry and colleges of research areestablished to breed and cure useful species of animals. Department of Live Stock also providesSupport System for raising animals both privately and through Government Projects.
