Résumé:According to the author, some ideologues of Pakistan would like to maintain that Pakistan was primarily created for establishing an Islamic state in the Indian sub-continent. Others who view things more analytically than ideologically would seriously doubt this proposition. They would rather uphold the view that Pakistan was created to serve the interests of a section of Muslims in pre-independent India. He critically examines the attempts by M. A. Jinnah, Maulana Mandudi and Zia to islamise Pakistan society to the thoughts of Maulana Azad and Maulana Madani who stressed universalism and composite nationalism. (DÜI-Sen)
