Pakistan Studies 12th 1.0

The textbook "Pakistan Studies in English" designed for the 12th class serves as a compulsory subject for students in their Intermediate second year. Published by Gaosha-e-Adab Lahore and sanctioned by the Punjab Textbook Board Lahore, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of Pakistan's historical and cultural context.

The authorship of the book includes notable figures such as Muhammad Hussain Chaudhry, Dr. Sultan Khan, Muhammad Farooq Malik, Rai Faiz Ahmad Kharal, and Khadim Ali Khan. The work provides insights into pivotal moments in Pakistan's history, particularly focusing on Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, who was born on December 25, 1876, in Karachi.

The narrative chronicles Jinnah's early educational journey from local schooling to prestigious missionary high schools followed by his legal studies in England. Upon returning to India as a Barrister-at-law, Jinnah married Ratan Bai in 1915 and later became the first Governor-General of Pakistan post-independence in 1947. His unwavering dedication to the cause of Pakistan was evident as he worked relentlessly until his health deteriorated, leading to his death on September 11, 1948.

Jinnah’s leadership facilitated significant milestones including his initial role with the Indian National Congress and later his pivotal involvement with the Muslim League. The electoral successes of the Muslim League in 1946-47 laid the groundwork for the "Pakistan Resolution" in 1940. His humility remained intact despite achieving the monumental success of establishing Pakistan on August 14, 1947.

The book emphasizes Jinnah’s remarkable oratory skills which galvanized audiences during critical speeches throughout the struggle for independence. His ability to articulate essential issues within the Constituent Assembly highlights his effectiveness as a public speaker who commanded attention through the strength of his voice.

Furthermore, it underscores Jinnah’s belief that hard work is crucial to success. His relentless efforts to unite Muslims across India exemplify his commitment to serving his community. Even amid health challenges, he tirelessly traveled to inspire Muslims and address their concerns without displaying fatigue. His endeavors ultimately sowed the seeds for a sovereign state for Muslims in India. Today’s freedom is a testament to the legacy of our revered leader, Quaid-e-Azam.

The "Pakistan Studies in English" for the 12th class is an essential resource that aims not only to educate but also to instill an understanding of Qur'anic principles and Islamic practices among students. This textbook includes valuable content for MCQs and chapter-wise quizzes designed to aid students in their exam preparations.
