| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Pakistan has been in existence for more than six decades but the state
has not been able to define its identity till date. Born as a result of the
demand for a separate Muslim homeland, it eventually stood as the
saviour of Islam and, in the process, the military led country has adopted
policies based on religion which have had severe repercussions for the
state. Religion has been used in Pakistan in roles ranging from nationbuilding to strategic security. |
