Final Year Project
Project Title
"Land of the Pure": State, Religion, and Sovereignty
Description
The dominant narrative within nationalist historiography reads the event of partition as an inevitable outcome of a religious divide between Hindus and Muslims. Even today, partition continues to be celebrated as the ultimate victory of Islam in the subcontinent. This thesis pinpoints key moments in the emergence of the idea of Pakistan. It explores how notions of religious and nationalist belonging have been forged. Particular attention is given to the political strategies of Muhammad Ali Jinnah in mobilizing the demand for Pakistan as a 'bargaining chip.' In doing so, it situates the Pakistan movement within the broader discourse on nationalism and the region's colonial modernity within the larger framework of modern history.
