Overview

The crisis in thought we witness today, in the name of freedom of speech,did not exist half a century ago when Islam and Pakistan were understood assynonymous. In every stage of Pakistan's liberation movement, the leadershipof the Muslim League and the masses, as evidenced by the historic records in the formof archives, speeches, statements, and resolutions, endorsed this reality. Even today, itis an insignificant number of people, but vocal, who question this fact of the matter.Fabricated and fictitious ideas are attributed to the philosopher, sage, and ideologueAllama Iqbal and the great Muhammad Ali Jinnah, as well as about the well-establishedtwo-nation theory. Numerous efforts have taken place to portray the Quaid as a secular leader. Inthis quagmire, there are a handful of people loyal to Pakistan's ideology, Islamic vision,and values who genuinely present the views of the Quaid. Dr. Anis is one such personwho, in his over fifty years of academic career, has stood for this noble mission. Howdid the Quaid visualise Pakistan is a question that has been made controversial by alimited number of so-called liberal intellectuals. Dr. Anis in a dispassionate, logical, andevidence-based research, has provided an authentic narrative of the Quaid's vision ofPakistan, in the Quaid's own words, in a simple and satisfactory way in order to let thenew generations see the truth as it is.
