Truth be told, The Third Five Year Plan (1965-1970) was encompassed wrapped by ominous conditions from the earliest starting point. A serious dry spell was experienced amid the initial two years.

"The people of Pakistan shall not feel comfortable until the mouths of the Indians cannons are made quit permanently. India rulers don't know which brave nation they have challenged. Our chivalrous soldiers are advancing to defeat the enemy. The Armed forces of Pakistan shall counterblast army."
He encouraged the nation.

Accession of States and Tribal Areas of Pakistan

Countless states were arranged amongst Pakistan and India. A large portion of the states took their choices. Be that as it may, no choices could be made about the destiny of Jammu and Kashmir, Junagarh, Manavadr states. The leaders of Junagarh and Manavadr declared their promotion to Pakistan yet India possessed them through military activity. Nizam, the leader of the state Hyderabad Deccan chose not to join both of the two nations. He expected to give his express an autonomous status yet Indian armed force assaulted Hyderabad Deccan and compellingly consolidated Hyderabad Deccan into India.

The two nations have battled three wars(1948,1965 and 1971) up until now yet the privilege of self-assurance of the general population is being overlooked. The Kashmir issue couldn't be settled by the standards of equity up until this point. 

Quaid-e-Azam was a government official of standards. He joined just those states with Pakistan which acquiesced to Pakistan with their choice. The conditions of Bahawalpur, Kharan, and Makran were among the individuals who consented to Pakistan. 

Quaid-e-Azam reported that tribal zones would keep on enjoying the full opportunity and their autonomy and flexibility would be taken care of.

In this way, General Yahya Khan abrogated the different status of these states in 1969. These three states were converted to from Malakand Division. It was made a regulatory piece of N.W.F.P (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).

Basis Of The Ideology Of Pakistan


The Muslims of the Sub-landmass got a different country with the goal that they may give viable shape to the last and supreme specialist of Almighty Allah. The general population may execute the supreme force of Almighty Allah and such a framework may be drilled as was based upon the standards of the Holy Quran and the instructing of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H).

The Ideology of Pakistan depends on the Islamic Ideology. Islamic values, for example, convictions of love, equity, advancement of majority rules system, crew and obligations of the subject are the premise of the belief system of Pakistan. The subtle elements of these qualities as given beneath:

1.Beliefs and Prayers:

The Muslims of the Sub-mainland set up the interest for Pakistan since they needed to lead their lives as per their convictions. They additionally needed to love Allah Almighty with no deterrent. Convictions of Islam incorporates faith in the unity of God (Touheed), the absolution of Prophethood of Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H), Life from this point forward, Angels and Books uncovered by Almighty Allah.

The Ideology of Pakistan and Allama Iqbal

       

Allama Muhammad Iqbal gave the Muslims a thought of a different state. Through, his verse he stirred the Muslims. Before all else, he was a supporter of Hindu-Muslim Unity, however, the extremism and one-sided state of mind of Hindus constrained him to reconsider that the Muslims ought to request a different nation. 
In his well-known presidential address at Allahabad in 1930, he requested a different state for the Muslims so they may lead their lives as per their religion and culture. He stated:
"The formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim state appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India. The life of Islam as the cultural force in the living country very largely depends on its centralisation in a specified territory. I, therefore, demand the formation of a consolidated Muslims State in the best interest of India and Islam."
Allama Iqbal affirmed that the Hindus and the Muslims couldn't live respectively in a nation. Consequently, at some point or another, the Muslims wouls prevail with regards to winning their different state. He turned down the possibility that just a single country exists in the Sub-mainland. Tolerating Islam an entire framework, Allam Iqbal said unmistakably:
"India is a continent of human groups belonging to different races, speaking different languages, and professing different religions. It was the prime duty of all civilized nations to show utmost regard and reverence for the religion principles, cultural and social values of other nations." 
Because of Islam, from a Millet and their energy and quality depends just on Islam. In his verse, he exhibited the key idea of the premise of Muslim Millat. 
Try not to assume that your country resembles the countries of the West, the people groups who have confidence in the Prophet (P.B.U.H) have the unmistakable development of the country. The Western people group relies on the regional and racial premise though your (Islamic) people group is reinforced by the compel of the religion. 
He exhorted the Muslims to receive each part of religion and to break the symbols of hues and ideology. 
Break the symbols of hues and statement of faith and assimilate yourself into one country so Turani, Irani, Afghani(Religion status of the Muslims) may lose their reality. 
He considered that every one of the Muslims living in any piece of the world from one Millet. In this manner, he gave the message to the Muslim living from the shore of Nile to the place where there is Kashghar to be joined for the assurance of Haram.

He wrote to the Viceroy Lord Chelmsford, "In my opinion, the government that passes or sanctions such a law in times of peace forfeits its claimed to be called a civilized Government."In Delhi-Muslims proposal in 1927, Quid-e-Azam withdrew the right of a separate electorate and gave an indication to co-operate with the Congress but it could not be fulfilled. 
  4. He rejected the Nehru report in 1928and presented his fourteen points in 1929 which determined the goals of the Muslims.
  5. He participated in the Round Table Conference (1930-31) and maintained the National identity of the Muslims.
  6. He injected a new life into the dead body of Muslim-League in 1935-36and guided the freedom movement.
  7. In 1937 Congress, on account of its majority, formed ministries in 7 out of 11 provinces and tried to inflict injuries to the Muslims socially and politically. Quid-e-Azam used his political foresight and faced these conspiracies gallantly. At last, Congress resigned from ministries. Therefore, on 22nd December 1939, Jinnah put out an appeal, calling for India Muslims, to observe the day as a "Day of Deliverance" and thanksgiving as marks of relief. 
  8. In October 1937, Quid-e-Azam was unanimously accepted as a leader in the Muslim League Session at Lucknow. After it, Quid-e-Azam toured the length and breadth of the country on the emergency basis.
  9. In his address in Minto Park (Now Iqbal Park), in the session of Muslim League, he explained the Two-Nation Theory that became the basis of Pakistan.
  10. From 1940 to 1945, on one side he made many efforts for the reconciliation between the Government and political parties, and on the other side, between the Muslim League and the Congress. Among them, Cripps Mission, Jinnah-Gandhi talks and Shimla Conference are worth mentioning.
  11. It was the fruit of his efforts that the Muslim League met with success in 1945-46 Elections. He made all the conspiracies of the Hindus and British unsuccessful. At last, Lord Mountbatten presented 3rd June, 1947Plan promising to establish Pakistan and Pakistan came into being on 14th August 1947.

3rd June 1947 Plan

                           

Negotiation With Political Leaders: 

After the failure of Lord Wavell, the British Government started its final planning to wind up its power.The British Prime Minister sent Lord Mountbatten to the Sub-continent with clear instructions. Immediately, after his arrival, he met with important leaders and held negotiations with them. He met Nawabs and Rajas of princely states. He realized that no solution other than partition could be found. Now, there was the question of establishing the principles of partition. One after another, the leader of Congress started to think Two-Nation Theory a reality. Lord Mountbatten and Lady Mountbatten had a personal relation with Nehru family. Other leaders of Congress also considered Mountbatten sympathetic and affectionate friend. Considering the partition indispensable, a conspiracy was planned but the Congress in collaboration with Lord Mountbatten to complete the process of partition in such a manner as a truncated, imbalanced and weak Pakistan was made that would be compelled to be a part of India soon. Lord Mountbatten with the help of his staff, started framing the basic principles of partition in order to determine the boundary lines of both of the countries. He assured the leaders of Congress confidentially that the partition process would take place according to their wishes and the condition laid down by them would be preferred. It was the result of the conspiracy that the main leaders of the congress begin to avoid the opposing the petition. Lord Mountbatten took the scheme, prepared secret with Congress, to London for approved by the British Government. 

All Parties Conference:

When Lord Mountbatten came from London, he converted all parties Conference, Quaid-e-Azam, Liaquat Ali Khan, Sardar Abdur Rub Nishter, Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel, Acharya Kriplalani and Baldev Sing participated in it. Viceroy of India explained the various aspects of the partition plan. Afterward, he held the separate meeting with leaders of each party. On 3rd June 1947, the second session of the conference was conducted. All leaders approved the plan. Despite the promise made with the Muslims had been breached and injustice was done to gain the goodwill of the leaders of the Congress. Quaid-e-Azam accepted the plan unwillingly. The speeches of the representative of both the major parties were broadcasted on Radio.Quaid-e-Azam ended his speech with Pakistan Zinda Baad.

Main Points of 3rd June 1947 Plan:

The government made the design to partition the Sub-continent. Acknowledging the principles stand of the establishment of two states, the Government settled the details and developed the program regarding the future of various provinces and states.

1. The Punjab and Bengal Province:

The members of the two parts of each Legislative Assembly sitting separately will be empowered to vote whether or not the Province should be partitioned.

2. The North West Frontier Province:

A referendum would be held in the North-West Frontier province to ascertain whether they wished to join Pakistan or India. The political issues of the Tribal areas would be settled by the Government that is formed after the referendum.

The referendums would be conducted after the partition of Bengal into two parts. If the majority of the peoples decides to join the East Bengal, they would form a part of Pakistan.

6. Non-Muslim Majority Provinces:

 The whole of Assam excluding the Sylhet would become a part of India. LikewiseBihar, Orissa, U.P, C.P, Bombay and Madras would be included in India.

7. Princely States:

There were the 635 such states in the Sub-continent as were ruled by the Nawabs or Rajas. Some important states include Jammu & Kashmir, Kapurthala, Bikaner, Hyderabad Deccan, Swat, Dir, Patiala, Bahawalpur, and Junagadh. These states were also given the option to decide their future and join the country of their own choice.

Cabinet Mission Plan 1944

           


In 1945, Labour party came into power in Britain. Noticing the increasing political restlessness in India, the British Prime Minister, Lord Atlee sent a Cabinet Mission to India. This mission had two basic purposes:
The first purpose was to determine the constitutional status of India and the form of the government.
The second purpose was to bridge the gap between the Muslims and the Hindus and try to convince the Muslims to live in the United India. But the General Elections of 19454-46 proved that it was quite impossible. The commission consisted of three Ministers:
  1. Sir. Stafford Cripps
  2. Mr. A.V Alexander
  3. Lord Pethick-Lawrence

Since all the members belonged to British Cabinet, it was called Cabinet Mission.

Talks with Different Political Leaders:

 The members of the Cabinet Mission held talks with different political leaders in the Sub-continent. They exchanged their views with Governers and Chief Ministers. They found the views of the Governer Generals too. Both major parties, Muslim League and Congress, had clear the viewpoints. Muslim League declared that the only solution to the issue was the partition of the Sub-continent and creation of Pakistan. On the other hand, Congress, on the basis of the single nation, strongly opposed any type of partition in the South Asia. It neglected the Two Nation Theory and denied the idea of Pakistan harshly.
A condition of tension prevailed in the talks because while sending the mission to India, The British Prime Minister made a statement in the Parliament that no minority would have the right to exercise the veto power and it will not be allowed to close the path of national development. Congress was much pleased with his statement but Quaid-e-Azam criticized it intensely. Quaid-e-Azam responded that Muslim League is striving for the protection of the rights of the Muslims and it want to resolve the constitutional issues on the basis of Two-Nation Theory. During the Dialogues with the mission, Quaid-e-Azam said: ”The Sub-continent neither a country nor it is the homeland of a single nation. The Muslims was a nation with the separate identity that has all the rights to decide the future of its own.”

Proposal of Cabinet Mission:

The members of the Cabinet Mission met the leader of all the political parties to find their point of views but they could not reach any result. On 16ty May 1946 the members of the Cabinet Mission announced a plan of their own. The silent features of the plan were under as:
Sub-continent, A Union:
The Sub-continent should be a union consisting of any provinces and several states. A federation should be formed. The Union should deal with the subjects of defense, foreign affairs, and communications. The Union should have the powers to raise the finances required for the above subjects. All subjects other than the union subjects shall be the rest with the provinces.
Formation of Provincials Groups:
The Provinces of India were to forms three groups:
Groups A: Hindus majority provinces of Madras, Bombay(Mumbai), U.P, C.P, Bihar, and Orissa.
Groups B: Muslim majority provinces like Punjab, North West Frontier Province (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), Balochistan, and Sindh.
Group C: Bengal and Assam.
It should be a Union of new nature forming Central organization, provincials, Organization and Groups Organization. The power of Union and provinces were explained in the proposal of the Cabinet Mission but so far as the distribution of powers between the provincials and groups organization was concerned, it was said that these will be decided by the Provincials and Groups Organization themselves. The provinces and states will be given seats in the Central Legislature as well as in the Cabinet on the basis of their population. Keeping in view of a proportion of the population, each province will be given representation.

Election of the Central Legislature:

The members of the Provincial assemblies will elect the Central Legislature. The Central Legislature will frame the constitution for the whole of the country. After the Central Cabinet framed, all the three provincial groups will prepare their own constitutions.
Separation from Union:
If one or two provinces from the three groups of provinces decide to separate from the Union, they could do so but after ten years. This point granted the right to the Muslims majority areas of Group B and Group C to make Pakistan after ten years. Thus, the process of the partition will complete automatically.

Jinnah-Gandhi Talks 1944

                   

My heart was asking me to write you a letter. I can meet you when you wish. Don’t think me the enemy of Islam or the Muslims. I am not only the friend or servant of you but of the whole world. Don’t disappoint me.”
In the reply to this letter, Quaid-e-Azam proposed a meeting in Mumbai in the mid of August. However, the meeting started in September. It was decided in the meeting that instead of the verbal discussion, it is better to exchange letters so that the records of the viewpoints of both of the points may be preserved. In y=this very meeting, Gandhi said clearly that he represent nobody but himself. He said that he was not meeting with Quaid-e-Azam as representative of Congress. Quaid-e-Azam objected to it and stress that unless talks are not held between the representative of two nations, he could not hope to reach some positive results.

The talks started from the point of Pakistan resolution based on the Two-Nation Theory. During the talks, Gandhi refused to accept the Two-Nation Theory.

The proposal made by Gandhi:

After having dialogue and corresponding with Quaid-e-Azam, Gandhi said the although he was not supported the Two-Nation Theory, yet if Muslim League wanted to put Lahore resolution into practical form, this issue should be delayed. First, they should receive the freedom from the British collectively. Afterward, Congress and Muslim League may settle the issue of Pakistan mutually.

Reply of Quaid-e-Azam:

Quaid-e-Azam judged that the style adopted by Gandhi is nothing but cheating and hypocrisy and cunningness. He emphasized that the British must settle the issue of Pakistan before the freedom of India because Conge=res and Hindus could not be relied upon.

C.R Formula 1944:

When the British government crushed the “Quit India” movement launched by Gandhi forcefully and put Gandhi behind the parts, his movement died out. Now, Gandhi tried to weaken the Muslim League by trapping Quaid-e-Azam in z conspiracy. Gandhi used Chakravarti Raj Gopal Acharya and asked him to express the opinion about the partition of India. Chakravarti Raj Gopal Acharya was a leader of All India National Congress. He belonged to Madras. He was known to the public as Raja Gee. Chakravarti Raj Gopal Acharya and Gandhi finalized the formula in the March 1944.
This formula is known as “C.R Formula”. In the meantime correspondence between the Quaid-e-Azam and Gandhi, who was in the jail, continued. The formula was sent to the Quaid-e-Azam. Quaid-e-Azam was informed of the details of the formula on 8th April 1944. The main points of this formula were as under:
  1. This formula is the basis of an agreement between the Congress and Muslim League. Gandhi and Quaid-e-Azam will agree on it and they will try to approve it from their respective parties.
  2. At the end of the war, a commission would be appointed to democratize the district having a Muslim population in an absolute majority and in those areas plebiscite would be conducted on basis of all would vote the inhabitants (including the Non-Muslim) where adult.
  3. The league endorsed the Indian demand for the independence and cooperate with the Congress information of Provisional Interim Government for a transitional period.
  4. All parties would be allowed to express their stance on the partition and their views before the plebiscite.
  5. In the event of separation, a mutual agreement would be entered into for safeguarding essential matters such as defense, communication and commerce and for other essential services.
  6. The transfer of population, if any would be absolutely on a voluntary basis.

Economic Deprivation of the Muslims in India

            

When the war of freedom (1857) was over, the Muslims were oppressed very badly. Although the Hindus supported the Muslims in the war, but they declared that the only Muslims were responsible for all their action in the war. Thus they acquitted themselves of any responsibility. The Muslims were the targets of the wrath of the British. So they suffered a lot and faced serious consequences.

British:

The British, dominant by prejudice enmity, dismissed all the Muslims from government jobs especially from the army and shut the doors of the employments to the Muslims. Despite having the required qualification for some jobs, the Muslims were deprived of it. On the other hand, the Hindus were offered jobs even if they have less qualification as compared to the Muslims.

Deprivation of the Muslims properties:

The Muslims deprived of their properties. Their properties were confiscated. Some Muslims landowner were turned out of their lands. Their properties and lands were allotted to the Non-Muslims. The Muslims became tenant cultivators instead of the owner of the land. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan has depicted this miserable condition of the Muslims in the following words:
"No calamity has descended from heaven that had not searched the house of the Muslims before it came down to the earth".

The monopoly of Hindus:

The business of the Muslims was ruined. In the order to get the support of the Hindus, the British gave them special business privileges. The Hindus established the monopoly in local trade. The Muslims trader suffered the economic crisis.

Industrial revolution:

As the result of industrial revolution in Britain, better and cheaper products were manufactured there. These products were imported to India. It resulted in the destruction of cottage industry which belonged to various nations of India including Muslims. The cottage industry collapsed because it would not compete with the modern industry.

The increase in unemployment:

The goods produced in Britain could be imported into India but Indian products were demanded neither in Britain nor in Europe.

Crisis of East Pakistan

           

  • Surrounded by India from three sides.
  • Three main rivers divide east Pakistan to three isolated regions.
  • Area 143998 square KM.
  • Smaller than all Pakistan provinces.
  • Population 40 Million more than all other provinces combined.

                    Geographical Characteristics

1.Stretigic implications:

  • The 6000 square KM deltaic region along the coast was impregnable to friends and foes alike.
  • These water obstacles split defender into an isolated pocket and gave advancing enemy columns of secure flanks.

2.Communication:

  • Only two ports with (IWT) facility i-e Khulna, Chittagong.
  • Most of the movement (military, civil) across the rivers took place on streamers, country boats.
  • Infrastructure was poor, roads were poor.
  • Roads linking east India to Pakistan were settled.

3.Climate:

  • The average rainfall of over 2500 mm.
  • Majority military operations could take place only in winter.
  • Hot and humid climate.
  • Catches of full blast of monsoon.

                       India's Role in the crisis:

The government of India maintained throughout the crisis that the entire issue was an internal matter of Pakistan, to be settled through negotiations between the two parties involved the peoples of East Bengal and the government of Pakistan. Even the joint statement issued in October 1971, by Prime Minster Indra Gandhi took that position. 

                            Causes of Alienation    

1.Language issue:  

  • Language riots result in the death of two students who became martyrs, Sheikh Mujeeb then an unknown entity take this issue and became a hero.
  • A major issue which aligned the Bengalis from rest of the country was language, national authorities failed to analyze deep attachment of Bengalis with their mother language.

 2.Culture Difference:

Pakistan was a poly-ethnic country.
Bengalis came from different social stock their dree, diets, social customs different from rest.
Their love for dance and poetry brought them to close Bengali Hindus.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was conscious about this culture division. He said,"Unity was not flowing from fountain head of a single nationality".

                             The roles of Bengalis

The government of India favored the view that the struggle in the east Bengal was supported be all Bengalis, Hindus and Muslims alike. Much the sane view was held by the national press in general. Of the Muslim press, a significant section held a rather curious view of the struggle, which shall be discussed a little letter. 
In Pakistan, the crisis was viewed, for most of the years, as merely a breakdown of law and order, caused by the Hindus of East Bengal, a minority of the Muslims supporters ofSheikh Mujeeb, and alleged the Indian infiltrators. It was expected that with the help of loyal Bengals and Non-Bengalis Muslims the army would soon have things property under control. Though both the news and victims of Bengalis mob violence reached Pakistan in insufficient numbers, surprisingly low-keys coverage was given to them.
In November 1971, at the time of the Eid-ul-Fitr, the three hundred and fifty odd members of the Bangladesh mission in Calcutta choose to say the Eid prayer themselves, instead of the joining of a local congregation, as a protest against what that they felt to be unsympathetic attitudes of the Indian Muslim. In response to this news, the Jamiat time of Delhi editorialized as follows:
"We wrote earlier, and we do not fear to write again, that whether it be the present tension between the India and Pakistan or the massacre of the bangles and on-Bengalis in the East Pakistan or influx of lakhs of homeless refugees, the responsibility foe everything lies squarely with the leaders of East Pakistan. One man can set a fire in the moment to an entire garden. We curse all traitors, be they in India or in Pakistan. Aman should concern himself with the welfare of the country where he lives, otherwise, he should leave it and go some other place"(3 December 1971).

General Ayub Khan Era (1958-1969)

       


On October 7, 1958, President Iskander Mirza abrogated the constitution and declared the martial law in the country. This was the first of many military regimes to mar Pakistan's history. with this step, the constitution of  1956 was abrogated, ministries were dismissed, central and provisional assemblies were dissolved and political activities were banned. General Muhammad Ayub Khan, the then Commender-in-Cheif of the armed forces, became the Martial law administrator. The Parliamentary system in Pakistan came to end. Within the three, weeks assuming charge on October 27, 1958, Iskandar Mirza was ousted by General Ayub Khan who then declared himself President. This was actually welcomed in Pakistan since the nation had experienced a very unstable political climate since independence, General Ayub Khan gave himself the rank of Field Martial corruption had become so widespread within the national and civic system of administration that Ayub Khan was welcomed as a national hero by the peoples. Soon after coming to power, the new military government promised that they would carry out reforms in the entire government structure and would clean the administration of the rampant corruption. A thorough screening process of all government servants was conducted and service record was closely scrutinized. Public servants were tried for misconduct by tribunals consisting of the retired judges of the Supreme Court or High Court. If charges were an approved action such as dismissal or compulsory retirement of the public servants could take place. A public servant could also be disqualified from holding any public officer for 15 years. About 3000 officials were dismissed and many other were reduced in rank as a result of these measures The rest of government servants were provided with an incentive to work hard. Similarly, a law called the Elective Bodies Disqualified Order, properly known as E.B.D.O, was promulgated for the disqualification of the politicians. Under this law, a person could be a disqualified from being a member of any elective body until December 31, 1966. Under this harsh law, several politicians like Suharwardy and Qayyum Khan were disqualified. The E.B.D.O, particularly its application, severely criticized in him legal and political circles throughout
Pakistan After taking over, Ayub Khan focused on the long-standing questions of land reforms in West Pakistan. Ayub Khan also introduced a comprehensive scheme of local government, properly known as basic Democrises. This scheme was enforced through the basic Democrises order on October 27, 1959. Basic Democrises was a pyramidal plan enabling the peoples to directly elect to Local Council man they knew, who could, in turn, elect the upper tier of the administration. Altogether there were 80000 basic Democrises elected. To lend legitimacy to his rule, Ayub Kahn used the basic Democritus's an electoral college, holding a referendum to seek a mandate to continue in offices as President and to have the authority to frame the future constitution of Pakistan.
