Bhutto, declaring the Qadianis as non-Muslims, was understood as a step to have been taken for the safeguard of the basic tenents of Islam. However, it was the martial law regime under General Muhammed Zia-ul-Haq which took practical steps for the process of Islamization.

    he History of Pakistan (Urdu: تاريخ پاكِستان ‎), encompasses history of the region that constitute modern Pakistan. Prior to independence in 1947, the area of modern Pakistan was both ruled and reigned by local kings and under numerous imperial power throughout different time periods.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah espoused the Two Nation Theory and led the League to adopt the Lahore Resolution[7] of 1940, demanding the formation of independent states in the East and the West of British India. Eventually, a united Pakistan with its wings – West Pakistan and East Pakistan – gained independence from the British, on 14 August 1947. After an intense guerrilla insurgency, followed by war with India, the state of East Pakistan separated at a considerable distance from the rest of Pakistan, became the independent state of Bangladesh in 1971.…
