Abstract
The term "Pakistanism" (Pakistaniyat) is directly related to the
establishment of Pakistan. This term is so multidimensional that even today
we can see the efforts of determining its denotations and discovering its
connotations. To define Pakistanism is difficult without the definition of
culture with reference to the debates on Pakistani thought and ideology.
Culture comprises a people's customs and traditions which differentiate
them from others. The ideological debate on Pakistanism seeks the answers
to the questions as whether Pakistani culture is Islamic or Indian or an
amalgam of both or none of them. This culture no doubt represents a
combination of Islam and geographic distribution that we call Indo-Islamic
culture. The ingredients of Pakistanism i.e. doctrine, geography, history,
language, literature, arts and social and ritual elements are discussed in the
philosophical debates on Pakistanism. In short, Pakistanism means
considering the existence of Pakistan and feeling the duty of its defense and
other responsibilities.
