K.K. Aziz’s Historiography: A Review on “The Making of Pakistan” in Perspective of Nationalist Muslims and Muslim Nationalism
Abstract
After 1857, the British intensified their efforts to create a constitutional and political environment for the gradual implementation of the Western democratic system in India. As a result in 1885, a regular political party, the Indian National Congress, was founded. It was the first modern nationalist movement to make an appearance in the British Empire in Asia and Africa. While on the other hand, in December 1906, the All India Muslim League was established in Dacca. Both were the remarkable political parties of the colonial period. During the imperial period in the Indian subcontinent, the two major political parties of the independence movement had different national ideologies. All India Muslim League was a supporter of Muslim Nationalism, while the Indian National Congress was a supporter of the Nationalist Muslim ideology. This was the basic and main difference that causes the partition of the Indian Subcontinent in 1947. K.K. Aziz is one of Pakistan's top historians. Although his work is multi-faceted, his scholarly work on Muslim nationalism in the subcontinent is highly commendable. In this paper, an attempt has been made to explain it in the light of his work and a comparative analysis of Muslim nationalism and Nationalist Muslims have been taken under consideration.
