Before we really go into the discussion of “is Pakistan an ideological state?” we need to have an
overview of the brief history of Pakistan. We need to know what basically ideology is, what
does it mean? And what was the long journey of struggle and what were the main driving
forces behind the creation of a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent.
What is IDEOLOGY????
Ideology is a set of ideas or norms on which the collective ideals of a community, nation ormillat are based. It also includes the sum total of principles set forth for the achievement of
these common ideal.
In lay man’s language ideology is simply a code of conduct, a manual you follow to order all the
aspects of life.
