was Persian. During he Mughal period it was the official language in the corn of Delhi/ Shaw alleluia

in the council the Muslims should have more percentage so seats than the percentage of the population.

succefully. It also showed that the Muslim community had decided to ensure that it established a secure
place in the constitution by its own methods.
The foundation of all Muslim league aims were that the Muslims wanted to establish a Muslim
dominant east Bengal the Muslim community still felt that it lacked influence. Some Hindus clamed that
the British were behind the establishe, TN go Muslim league to act as a counter in congress. Formation

aspiration to the government of India. TO PROMOTE FEELINGS OF LOYALTY TO THE BRITIHS

The Morley Minto reform were that 60 members were added to imperial council then 60 seats were
added to central executive council and then provincial council were increased to 50 seats and 30 seats
in smaller provinces. Muslims represantivies were granted to be voted by Muslims only. Indians had very
little role in government. The Bengal partition was then reversed because stuff became very violent and
the British had started to crumble support of the country. India before the First World War. The Muslims
saw the reverse of the partition as a betrayal of British promises. They also soon realized that Morley
Minto reforms did not provide Indians with any genuine voice in eh government. Despite the attempts
to works.

legislative councils the would apply to puma and Bengal. Although they had represented only one

Geographical problems:
1.East Pakistan: comprised most of Bengal and the district of sylphet which voted on a referendum to
join Pakistan.
2. west Pakistan: balochistan Punjab Sindh dwat chitral hunza giglit north west frontier
Political problems
India had officials members fo indian national congress paksitan lacked both the amdnistraitve and the
voernment machinery
Perhaps the major problem which Pakistan faced was not known by its people. Sor some years quaid
azam also gaced tubercolorosis.
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
Pakistan was made up of states that were mostly underdeveloped. Although Karachi was a modern por
that had business activity.Pakstan had only one place to grow jute.
Docial problems.
Hyderabad: It has the largest perecentage of population, mreo than 160million, it had non muslim
majority but the nizam favoured muslims and tehnrefored favored joinin palistan.Indian troops entered
hdyerabad and dismantled the whole placeThis is because it didn’t want Hyderabad to do so to Pakistan
and wanted nizam to join india.
Junagadh: was a small state on the coast 300 miles south of Karachi. Indina government troops wanted
to sorroudn this province A blockade was imposed and soon junadadh was short fo food. The indiant
trrops then invaded the area and too kcontrol of the place. The Pakistan complained to un but the issue
remain sunresolved./
The hasmir issue: The idnian had jammu kahmir and we have azaad ,most 4 million were muslim in
1947, the mahraji hari singh wanted to invade tehm to take over the area as over 200000 paksitanis fled.
After pressure from lurd mountbatten the elections ere held to determine the wishes fo the people. The
reerndum has yet not been held and the.
Paksitan agreed to pay 750000000 to the state bank, the first 200mil were paid hwover the kahmir war
started and broke out. If paksitan sopped the rest would eb payed. Ghndhi was determined the division
o assets should be fair as possible.he used the threat of a hunger and succefully made the indian
government pay
Miliaitry of paksitan:The jinnah was ofecd to make 500 british ofccers temp oriarily, india had all
ordinace factories, india eventually agreed to pauy 60mil rupes to build a ordinace factory which was
doen for paksitan.
The canal wter dispute: Ruvers were controlled at a series of headworks, most fo which they lay part of
pnjab that was now in india. India and paksitan were soon in dispute over the canals. The the water
from bar doab canal idnialimed it as the wheadworks were in its country and it had its own authority to
do what it wanted to do. Paksitan rgued that it had a right to have water from Punjab to west ppunjab.
8.refugees and the accommodation crisis: In the years before partition there was widepsrad violence,
many of them found tehselves living in different coutnreis, it was one of the worst scnes as many were
killed too, some moved willinlgy with ther possesions, siksh had an organized programme for the
massaee of muslim refugees.it is also true that attorcities were carried out by muslism as a tide of
communal hatred swept acroos the subcontintet in late 1947.
Nearly as 20million were made homeless, paksitan faced eneromous problems with the numer of
refuegees who fled for them safety. It ws extrememly difficult fro the people o be mover.
At provincial level there would be provincial ogvereners provincial assemblies and provincial ministers
Eat Pakistan has a much larger population that west Pakistan and resented the idea of equal.
The provinice politicians objected to the power being given to the head of state and to the federal
government.
The act showed that Pakistan had yet to become the free democratic country that the quaid had
envisioned. It was submitted act for the debarring from public office for a suitable period of persons

governers who could order an enquiry by judges Anyone found quilty under PRODA was debarred from
the office.
Refugees: The quaid called the refugee problem in 1946 and had set the central refugee council to deal
with it. Liaqaut ali khan met with the indian prime minister, jawhar Nehru and signed the liqaqat Nehru
apct. It was agreed that each government was responsible for the safety fo minority groups within its
borders. Free passage of refugees across the border was resitirceted and a visa system fro refugees was
introduced.
Hyderabad and Kashmir: Pakistan was still coming in terms to death of the quad as india invded
Hyderabad. On 5 januray the united nations orgaanistaion organized a ceasfire between india and
Pakistan in Kashmir. Howeever, there was no agreement over the future of Kashmir so tensionslpoked
lilely in time to come.
Army leaders: Sir douglas gracey the rbitsh commander in chief of the Pakistan army was replace by
general ayub khan a psakitani. Since partition many army officers had complained about the presence of
the british in snior positions. Many compared that brish ofcciers were the senir ones.
GHULAM MOAHMED: was the first ogverne genral of paksitan, he helped overcome the food shrotages,
so the sua granted million of poudns fo wheat to Pakistan. SOME ULEMAS CAMPAINGED AGAISNT THE
AHMEDIS. They demanded that all ahmedis e dimissed from office, incluing zafriduign, it was only after
matial law was imposed and arrests were made that rioting started.
There should be a hosu eof units with 60 members from east Pakistan and 60 from west Pakistan, The
hosue of people should have 400 members with 200 elected rom each wing.

wet paskitan were two parts fo the same country divided by 10000 mile and by culture, ayub khan
started that there were those In west Pakistan who considered their culture to be superior to that
foeast Pakistan.
Econonomic disparity;
The 1970 cyclone was when the tropical cyclone ever recorded hit east Pakistan and up to 500000
people lost their lives. The government in west Pakistan was slow to react and political leaders in east
paksitan acceud the governemtn of gorss neglected indfferenc.e There was no relief coordination.
Problematic results: Awama ileague one of th main parties for the national assemply in paksitan ppp led
by zulfikar bhuttto which was based in west paikistan and the wami league led by sheick mujib ur
rehman which was based in east Pakistan. The awami league was able to win support by proposing a
programme. The elctios resulte in victory fro the awami league 162 of the 300 seats om the election
were allocatd.The second problem was that awamli league had wont eh election on a program elimiting
the power of central government over the provinces.The call for the provinces to have control of their
foregin exchange earned fro trade would greatly influence.

daughter of very enthusicastic man and was very enthsusiastic to like wut. She was the first
owmen prime minister to serve the country.
Political position Nawaz sharif: PPP gained a majority foo v votes in Sindh but not in the other
three probvinces it was the largest partu ion the nation assesmbly but did to but do she to from a
coialition. She mad a alliance with MQM and faced a fierce opposition with islami jamhuri
Although military dictatorship had come to an end. The military an the intelligence still held great
power benzir Bhutto was not able to cchallen this invlufene. Such was the level of opposition that
in October 1989 juss 11 months afte taking office the opposition aprties organized a no confidence
moition in the office. The opposition mustere 107 votes in the 237 seat assembly, just 12 short of
th e119 to force miss Bhutto to step down.
Differences with president ishaq: benzair Bhutto did nto work well with president Ghulam ishqaq
khan and she oemitme s clashed with him. A mahor are of disagreement was over appointments
to position on the militrat and the judiciary. Ishqaq khan considered that such appointemtns were
the right of the president, not the prime minister he refused to agree to several appointements
and dismissal she wanted to maek in the milaitaty and this caused further tension between them.
She addres to make Pakistan a democratic country, but guided with Islamic principels, to her this
meatn movin waway fro the pro Islamic policies of zia. Sje was able to maek some measures suh
as edngin ban on trade union and realsign political prisoners. She restored student ions. No ne
lwasd to help woman and the huddo and zina ordinaces were not repealed. The governemtn lost
support as it was unable to deliver on its prmised employment and economic develpometn
programs. The voervern aslo faield to deal with the coutnrys frowign drug abuse problem. The
expandin grade during genera l xia time had increased the number of heoin addices in paksitan
froma few thousand to near a illion in 1988. She sprad elctircity towards the rural areas.
Forign policy: Benazir Bhutto had more success in her foregn polic she took paksitan uinto the
common wealth. She hosted the fourth asout Asian association for regional cooperation SAARC
summit conference in DECEMBER AND MADE INDIA AND PAKSITAN REALTIONS BETTER.Mrs
Bhutto husband asirf ali zardari was accued of taking rakeoffs on govenemtn deals. He was later
arrested fro blackmail and jailed for two eyars. Ghulam ishqaq khan was ignoring government
rhgts, his actions were justified because of corruptiin incompetence and inaction. Benazir Bhutto
then compaliend the government was stolen from her as Nawaz sahrif used eight amendemetn
agasitn her.
Nawaz sharif:He declared the motoway project was to build wa fast transportion nwtwork. The
cos was estimated to be 989000000000. Althoguh paksitan first mototway the M2 was completed
1997.
Loss of us aid: Nawaz sharif policies were undermined by lack fro investment. There was an influx
of foreign capital when he loosedn forgen exchange restrictiosn and opened paksitans stock
market to foreign capital . The USA had provided significant economic support during the soviet
afghan war. But then the war ended that support was reducd. Durign the dispute over pakstiance
nuclear weaposn policy the financial support almost dried up as the USA but pressue on Pakistan
to end the programme.
The BCCI SCANDAL: The reduction in overseas adi and hgihg governemtn sepdnign and
adecrease in remittance from oversears wrokers in the middle eastplaced severe pressur on
paksitans finances. They were further haremd when one fo the major banks operating in paksitan,
THE BANK HAD EEEN FOUDNED BY AGHA HASAN ABEDI IN 1972. They concluded that BCCI had
engaged in widepsrea fraud and manipulation, follwoign te j report the bank closed and had to
pay huge fines investorslost huge sums.
Co Operative societies scandal: Sharif also lsot support because of the cooperatie socieites scandal
cooperatives societies accept depostis from members and can legally make loans only oto
members for purposes that are the benefit to the society.
Relations with president: Nawaz sharif government was in serious difficulties. In 1990 he had been
elected with the support of the president and also other parties in the Islamic jamhuri ittehad.
Pakistan and indai relations
Refugees, despite the large scale population transfers in 1947as muslims from india moved to
paksitan dn hindus to india, there were still substantial religious minorities in each country.
Feelings of hostility between the CTURNTIES ICNREASED. Prime misnter liaquat ali khan signed an
agreement with nerhu india. It was called the minorities pact and the two leaders agreed that
each country would provides protection and religious freedom for the religious minorities. They
also realsied that even if protecte da mintorty group would not have the same oppurutnities and
gaurantess as the majority.
Resources: The issue of the handover of reources has been dealt with earlier. Relations between
Pakistan and india, the relucatacne fo ina to release assets made the paksitani government even
more suspicious fo indan motives and soured realtiosn fo te future. A good example fo the water
concerns which was one of the vital resources fo that indai and paksitan shared, in 1948 inda cut
of the water supplies from all the ehadworsk that it controlled. They planted their own dams on
our river jhalan and cehnab.
Kashmir: Sicne partition the issue of Kashmir has caused friction between india and paksitan.
Fighting between india and Pakistan resulted in kasmir being divided between the two coutnires
till this date the issue is not reolved as it needs a vote system to know who deserves the region.
The fridt to war : the Kashmir issue remained unresolved and the lack of trust between the wto
coutnries affected their relations inother ares. India was particularly concerned abitu the military
aid that theeri usa was providing paksitan. The idnians feared that paksitan would use the aid
against htem. The idnian reactiosn the the chinse war was to be re armament programme
accepting aird fro the west so by 1965 both coutnries fought wars and they oudlnt win any war
over Kashmir.
The 1965 war: Paksita was forced the idnain cto acecpet and independent tribunal to settle broder
dispute over the ran of kluch on thesingh rajashtan broeder. Sicne thi was the what apkaistan had
hoped would also happen in kasmir dispute. It now decided to take stpes to force indiua to agree
setting up of a internation body to decide an wnsherip of kahsmir.
Cnsequenlt the paksitan army attacked indain controlled kahsmir hoping to cut off the only road
from Kashmir into inda.
Although wasr was nto officially declared the inaidn laune a mjor offensive in the Sialkot sector, A
full yfledged war boke out ffro three weeks.
The 1971 war: The balance of military power had defintly tilted in favour of indui it had a stonger
economy and larger population than pakistancould pu tin the field india could also rely on support
from the coviet union after signing the trety of peace friednshop and commerce in august 1971.
When civil war broke out in east paksita nan dit declared independence. Paksitans humiliating
defeat led to the replacement of yahya with Bhutto as president of pkaistan. In early 1972 bhutto
met Indira ghandhi the prime misnistter of india to conclude a peace treayt as india was holding
90000 pakistani soldiers.
Relatiosn between india and paksitan continued to strained during the 1970 but when zia came to
power in 1977 there was an improvement, he began to receive significant aid from the usa to
oppose the soviet union policy in Afghanistan. Consequenly although kamsir issue remained
imporatn zia main portiy was upporting afghanis.
In easrly 1980 the dinains uprising by the sikh community in the Punjab who were demadnign a
separate homeland. India accued paksitan of proving armes to the siksh. Mrs ghanghi was
assaisnated by Sikhs as well as ghanihis son,.
By1987 relaitosn detoriated to the poritn where thw two countires were close two war, the indian
army nbegan to perfom excercises. Zia then flew to indian wfro a match of cicket to watch and
talked to rajic too cool down relatiosn.
War had been avoided but there were still many problem the sitauon in kahsmir was far frm
resolved dadn tboh side continued to develop nucealand convential waapons.
Pakistan and the USA: DDuringh eindependecne stuggle the americans had ofeten talked of the
need fo unity betbetween muslims and hindus, since themuslims were trying to establish an
dependent muslim homeland, they were disturbed by this, the sua also took several yars before it
sent an ambassador to paksitan,
Liaquata ali khan was frustrated by the coolness fo the americans towards an alliance with
paksitan and in 1949 accepted an offer to visit the sovier tunion if his intention had been to force
the American into closer llain, he was succeful.
The maricans continued to try persuadeindia to join an anti communist pact with them, but the
idninas were relucants to do so. In contrast paksitan was prepared to join suhc as ana llaince in
rerutn for military and economuic aid.
Between 1952 and 1955 paksitan wsigned 3 agreement which frimly established it as aa por west
anti communist country.
1. 1954 papakstian and the usa signed the mutual defence assistance agreement
2. In September 1954 the south east asia treaty organization was set up the mmebers were the
USA the UK FRANCE THE PHILLIPINES Thailand new zealnad and asutralia paksitan also joiedn
but the decision faced opposition from within the paksitan fgovernemtn and so the treaty was
not ratified until 1955 the treaty stated that if any member were attacked, it could appeal to
the other memebers fro support heowever, there was one major problem as far as Pakistan
was cocnered the treaty.
3. In 1955 turkey and iran signed the badhdad pact establsihgin anti communist alliance against
the sovietunion. Later in the year britian Pakistan and iran joined the pact. All the members
except the uk were muslim. The pact was renamed the central asia treaty organization cento
after Iraq left in 1959 becasoe fo a revolution. Th USA supurted cento but never actually
joined.
Pakistan and soviet uniosn:
By 1950 the soviet union was clearly backing india over kahsmir and nto maintain a neutral stance
as it had been doing immedialty after partition. When paksitan joined seatsadn cento the soviets
took this untion as a firm decleration in favou of the usa the soveites told the paksitan
government that it was alllowig itself to be used s a base, In may 1960 reltiosn reached as low
point when a spy plane fro mteh us base in Peshawar was show down over the soviet union. The
paksitan governemtn denied any knowledge fo American spying. As relation with the USA
detoriated in the 1960 so there was an improvement in those between paksitan and the soviet
union. In april 1965 ayub khan paid an official visit to the soviet union and further agreement on
trade and oil expolariton were reached, In januray 1966 the soviet union hosted a peace
conference between idnuian and Pakistan at Tashkent. The paksitan representaives were
impressed with the organisaion of the conference and the soviet success in holding the conference
rasied its prestige in asia. Later on America decided to close the airbase at pewshawar the soviet
union began to supply arms to paksitan. However the realtion with the soviets worsened the
soevirest was no happy abot te hfact they were getign arms from other two places such as chian
and America. Tteh soviet signed a treaty of peace fo friedndship and cooperation with indian.
Bhutto later on visited the osviets to build good relationships.
Since independence paksitan had a complicated relationship with the british, as it was a britihs
colony until 1947. It was extremely critical of the british decision to appoint eh last viceroy of
india. On the other hadn britihs provided jinnah with military advacnes and civil service as ti was
hard for paksitan to arise as an independent stae. Britian also gave finanacial and technical aid
and advice.
Pakisant chose to remain a member of common wealth wchih is a britihs platform for support.
In 1956 paksitan decalerd itself a republic itself a republic this meant that the british monarch no
lanoger had a say in the country. In 1950 for than 1 million was given from Colombo fro sui gas
and Canada gave 40 million for the railways. However relaitons within the common wealth have
soemtims been strained. Equally there were times when paksian faiel to suppor the britis.
Events,Britian and paksitan togehtherd as members of cento and seato, this did nto stop
apaksitan criciign over ht esuez canal in 1956. Britan remaine dnuetral through the bangaldesh
crisis. During the afghan cirishs britan supported paksitan and Margaret thatcher the britihs prime
minister was the firsh western leader.
Britian gave nto only politiaal upport but also 30million pound to paksitan fro the welfare fo
afghan refugees.
Paksitan also returned to the common wealth in 1989 the afghan relation improved.
Pakistan and bangaldesh: After th 1971 war and the cration of bangaldesh relatiosn between the
two relations. Tehe as the problem of reolactign assest that had been shared there had been with
indai in 1947. There was a problem of people in eah ccoutnry who wsiehd to settle in the other
not on the huge scale in 1947 but large enough to be a problem. Bhutto visited bangalsedh during
the visit the divison of assest were discussed bangaldesh asked fro over a half o fthe ssest of that
paksitan owend. The two coutnries alter on agreed to maek friendly relations.
Sheikh mujib died, although khondar mushtaf the new leader of banglasesh did nto withdraw the
claism ver assests and repartiration he recognsed that they should not act as barris to better
relations, the two coutnires exchanged ambassadors and reached an agreemtn to cooperate on
trade torism and the media.
In1985 and 1988 bangaldesh was hit by such a severe weather that foregin aid was urgently
needed.
The establishemt fo the borders in idnia nadn paskitan had led to a broder dispute between
afhghansitan and paksitanl.
The afghans argued tghat the pakhtoons liivn in paksitan wasn’t edto join Afghanistan to form
pakhtoonisatn,
Jinaah did not want to give the impression that hteh NWFP was an occupied territory. So he
ordered tha old briths military psot alogn the odl broder with Afghanistan.
Despite this the afghan government ramiend hostileto Pakistan and was the only state to vote
against Pakistan joonign the un,
Afghanistan also rejected this offcer and signed a trade adm tramst agreemtn with the coviet
union gaining acces to the seas by way of the soviets and making good relatiosn with paksitan
unnecessary.
Although the majority of afghans supported paksitan in the war ahains inida the afghan
government chose to stay neutral. Bhutto visited Kabul shortly after taking office. Bhutto
continued to work to improve relatins. Acces to india through Pakistan.
When zia came to power he continued to pursue fridnly relatiosn in October he visied Kabul and
daud rturned the visit in march, whislt in paksitan he made speechless calling fro improved
relations, shortly after this hwoever daud was killed when his governetn was overthrown.
The soviet union sent an 80000 strong army to remove the communist leader and tto replace him.
Barbak karmal was appointed as head of government later on. Over 3 million refugees fled to
paksitan due to the wat paksitan was praised for the humane treatment.
Both countires joined the Baghdad pact in 1955 the pact was set up in February by turkey and Iraq
it was designed to stop expansoion in the middle east. Pakistan set up the regioa co operation for
development such as setting up mills and factories.
