Q.No.3. Trace the history of the Muslim conquests of present day Pakistan areas highlighting their contributions in transforming the society and culture. (20)

KINDLY ELABORATE THIS QUESTION , STILL I DID NOT GET TO KNOW WHAT EXAMINER WANTED TO ASK ? ? ?

Q-8:Through Allama Iqbal’s writings and views of Quaid-i-Azam explain their conceptual understanding about the Islamic state. Do you agree that their vision found some place while explaining the constitutional developments throughout the case of Pakistan’s political history?

i mentioned the references of Iqbal's poetry by writing his ashghaars and also wrote the speeches of Quaid.... i further elaborated that the contributions of Quaid and Iqbal formed the basis of the constitutional developments..... i gave the examples of the formation of the constitutions i.e.;all the 3 constitutions.... tell me about my attempt plz.

well i attempted both these questions...
in Q3... first I gave short introduction about all rulers and reformist how they contributed to transform Muslim society...then I wrote in one paragraph about all rulers shortly how they transformed society.. as in mughal era muslim society was transformed by art, music, poetry.. and building styles....then i discussed about four reformers and at last about sufis..... discussing about each I wrote heir contribution to muslim society and in the end I gave short conclusion that because of their historic efforts pakistani society moulded... because what pakistan is now is because of these reformers and muslim rulers who came to subcontinent first.......

in Q8... I wrote introduction first discussing role of Allama Iqbal and Quaid e Azam... and their inspiring speeches.... then I started first with Quaid e Azam I wrote his speeches and then discussed how they influence muslims... then I wrote about Allama Iqbal and his speeches and discueed how his poetry influenced muslim youth and society during independence.... then I put forward views of some historians and wrote some quotations and references to put light on importance of heir speeches.... then i discussed all 3 constitutions and their some points which match to points discussed by Quaid e Azam and Allama Iqbal in their speeches...as in every speech they focused to have independent Islamic state then i discussed the Islamic provisions which show idea of Pakistan given by both of them... then in the end I discussed about federal system and 18th amendment abit because in 14 points of Quaid e Azam he asked for federal system with residual powers given to provinces and its there in 1973 constitution now.....then in the end I gave conclusion ....


please guys tell me if my approach was right or not

Arab Conquests

Muslim conquests







The change in the one word has made the question technical:in the first question it was asked about Arab invasion and in the later part demanded what Muslims had done in transformation of culture and in the present paper ,same thing is asked who conquerred and what are the impacts which find its way to form pakistan and its culture . Qasim had underwent series of conquests and If we says, Muslims, the we would say about Qasim who attained the land by force,then one would say that there would be inclusion of all Muslim rulers who have attained the land by force . 1. Qasim ,2 ;Ghauri ,Ghaznavi and Mughals but ghaznavi and ghauri were able to conquer only punjab not the present day pakistan .Except Akber ,no one had control over the frontier regions (pakistan) ,even Aurangzeb could not quell the rebellions of north-west and nort-eastern zone rebellions .


According to my humbal opinion , focal poiny would be Arab invasion which would be proceeded by later conquests to chart out the impacts in present day areas of pakistan which wrere influeneced by these conquests .




SIND : The part of subcontinent which is parallel to present day pakistan




After taking control of Daibul, Muhammed Bin Qasim continued his advance northwards and conquered Niran near Hyderabad. There the Arabs were reiforced by a contingent of four thousand native Jat soldiers. They crossed the Indus by a bridge of boats and challenged dahir's army near Rawar. The battle of destiny ensued. Dahir's forces were scattered and he died fighting.

The Arabs continued pressing northwards along the Indus. They captured Dahir's capital city Brahmanabad (Brahmin city), where they built their own city Mansura. Next they occupied Rur and continued their advance until they conquered Multan, the most ancient living city of South Asia. Multan, with its renowned ancient golden temple dedicated to the sun god Aditya, contained so much gold that the conquerors evidently felt that they need go no further. For three centuries it remained the northernmost outpost of the Sind province of the Arab Empire.

why fpsc is playing with students like this..............

hmm your right sadia... it seems questions were more technical ... thanks to God I mentioned about all rulers who conquered ... may be I will get atleast few marks ... but we cannot predict mind of examiner... his more intelligent than any student

Is punjab not included in today's pakistan? Shouldn't we give a little importance to to ghauri and ghaznavi in the answer of the question? And what about akber; he also contributed in present day pakistan, frontiers regions?

According to me ,the starting word ''trace'' signifies the origion of conquests :It`s meaning is consulted by me in oxford dictionary as well too . So when Examiner has used the word trace, he simply means origion of such conquests .

secondly ,general knowledge paper should not be made history paper while in attempting the asnwer . When examiner used the words '' present day areas '' (pakistan) ,it simply means Pakistan . When Qasim conquered subcontinent ,then he conquered baluchistan ,sind ,punjab and adjoining areas of kashmir ; which is neaerer to present day areas of Pakistan . That`s why Whole word Pakistan is not used ,but areas of present day pakistan is used .

The QUESTION has been asked with respect to social change ; Who brought social change ;

1.Qasim
2. Allludin khilji
3. Akber

Khiliji and Akber made dehil their capital and they infact have nothing to do with frontier regions but to protect from foriegn invaders .One should write their influences as well . But these should be answerd in second part of a question . Their role in art ,architecture ,science ,history ,jurispudence and reformist movemnts of those days come in to the context of question .

hmmm appreciatable answer do u know which areas of balouchistan did he (Qasim) conquer?
And did only three of them brought social change?

I have pasted a map in my previous post which shows areas conquerred by Qasim .Unfortuately ,it has been removed . Social change question will start from Qaaasim ,if he would never eneter and conquerred the land ,then no other ruler dare to enter ; demography of population would not be changed by various ORDERS and we would have no Pakistan today . The Pakistan we have today , is exactly the same land which he conquerred . If one has knowledge ,then it will give extra marks to you provided that it may be relevant .

Hope so , I have satisfied you !
