Two-Nation theory formed the basis of Pakistan. Muslims of subcontinent, opted for a separate homeland, instead of joint India, finally achieved their goal in 1947 to have an independent state for themselves, but only after a long and relentless struggle under the single-minded guidance of the Quaid.
However, there has been lot of controversies and confusion created regarding the mere question whether Pakistan was founded to become a theocratic or secular state. This sense of misunderstanding was further exploited after the the speech of Mr. Altaf Hussain, founder of MQM, in India where he declared “the division of subcontinent as the biggest blunder in the history of mankind”. This vicious idea was further supported by some so-called journalists and scholars on local TV channels and newspapers.
In support of their speculation, they completely disregard the entire history and the struggle that was there with the independence struggle, Two-nation theory, Iqbal’s address of Allahabad in 1930, Pakistan resolution in 1940 and Objective resolution in 1949 and formulate their arguments on merely on one address of Mr. Jinnah on 11th August 1947.
