Pakistan affairs/pakistan affairs prepearation gudie (Starting With Chronologies)
 

Em gona start a prepearation pattern for pakistan studies/affairs, intially chronologies are to be remembered coz very important for general knowlede. Later, we shall discuss the background and all these topics one by one...

1.War of Independance 1857
2.Act of 1858
3.Queen's proclamation 1858
4.Act of 1861
5.Hindi-Urdu Controversy 1867
6.Indian National Congress 1885
7.Act of 1892
8.Partition of Bengal 1906
9.Simla Deputation 1906
10.Muslim League formation 1906
11.Act 0f 1909

34.Indian Independance Act 1947
35.3rd June Plan 1947
36.Syril Raddiffe Award 1947
37.Creation of Pakistan

The way I see it, every paper of Pakistan Affairs is of this pattern:

1) A question about the early Muslims, especially the preachers (Sufi 'saints') and the reformers.

2) A question about Deoband or Aligarh (or both).

3) A question from the colonial period (Cripps Mission, Minto-Morley Reforms, etc).

4) A question about Jinnah and the League activities from one specific period to another.

5) A contemporary problem - usually education, judiciary or pertaining to civil-society.


I think it'd suffice if you cover these topics only. Of course, it's a bit of a gamble but if you're short on time (like me), this is your best alternative.

Its a bit frustrating that pple hav shown me a cold shoulder in this post....wel so far as the topics are concerned, we have to have the background knowledge of pakistan affairs. it might help people in either paper or interview...and selective studies make no sense when u have sufficient time left..i guess selective studies might botch your knowledge up and somehow gona get u puzzled...

[B]FORMATION OF MUSLIM LEAGUE:[/B]

-As a result of Aligarh Movement the Muslims of Indo-Pakistan acquired political awakening and started thinking in terms of a Nation..
-Meanwhile, Indian National Congress failed to come upto the expectations of the muslims because it protected the Hindus interests at the cost of all considerations.
-Thus, muslims felt the need of their own political organizations which may safeguard their interests.

[B]CAUSES FOR THE FORMATION OF M.LEAGUE:[/B]
-Hindu Revival Movements (Brahama Samaj, Arya Samaj etc)
-Aligarh Movement
-Hindi-Urdu controversy(1867)
-Establishment of Congress (1885)
-Partition of Bengal (1905
-Simla Deputation (1906)
-Minto-Morley Reforms (1909)

-During the session Sir Saleemullah Khan(Nawab of Dacca) moves a resolution for the establishment of a muslim political party named "All India Muslim League". (name was suggested by Sir Saleemullah Khan(to be remembered).
-The resolution was seconded by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan(first) and Hakeem Ajmal Khan(second). Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar supported the resolution.

-First president of the Muslim league was "Sir Agha Khan(Real name Sir Sultan Mohammad Shah)".
-Joint secrateries were..Nawab Wiqar ul Mulk and Nawab Mohsin ul Mulk(real name Mehdi Ali Khan).

-London Branch...(1908, Syed Amir Ali....Texton Hall)
-A committee of 60 members was formed to frame the constitution of M.League within 4 months.

-Second session (Amritsar)
-Third session (Delhi)
-Jinnah as the president of M.League(1934-1944)

It is appreciable effort but here is a mistake in Chronological order.

#8. Partition of Bengal took place in 1905. And you written over here 1906, So don't mind and confirm it.

Plz don't use such exhaustive books. Plz give a try to " Towards Pakistan" popularly known as Harri Jhandi wali kitab. U all will love it. It has indepth knowledge as well as analytical thoughts.
