Title: Ideological Foundations of Pakistan
Description: A source book that seeks to meet the dire need for a readily accessible reference work on the ideology of Pakistan. It seeks to delineate the thinking, the aspirations and the vision of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders at the highest echelons of Muslim leadership at the time and in the 1950s. What makes it all the more relevant to contemporary Pakistanis a fully researched and well-documented section on Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Briefly summed up, Bhutto's extremely weighty pronouncements of Pakistan's ideological orientation included in the book resonate with those of the independence leaders during the struggle for Pakistan and its formative phase (1947-1958). In tandem, they bid fair to be considered an integral part of the Pakistan Peoples Party's foundational documents, binding it, for now and in the future, to uphold the ideological foundations of Pakistan, which is the central theme of this reference work.
