While leadership in India claimed the anti-colonial movement, Gandhi, and a civilizational legacy in the subcontinent, the new political elite in Pakistan were faced with a more complex task: to carve out a separate and distinct Muslim history and political tradition from a millennium long history of cultural and religious interaction, mixing, and coexistence. Drawing on a rich archive of diverse sources, Ali Qasmi traces the complex development of ideas of citizenship and national belonging in the postcolonial Muslim state, offering a nuanced and sweeping history of the country's formative period. Qasmi paints a rich picture of the long, arduous, and often conflict-ridden process of writing a democratic constitution of Pakistan, while also simultaneously narrating the invention of a range of new rituals of state - such as the exact color of the flag, the precise date of birth of the national poet of Pakistan, and the observation of Eid as a "national festival" - that provides an illuminating analysis of the practices of being Pakistani, and a new portrait of Muslim history in the subcontinent"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aSouth Asia in motion. 606 $aNationalism$zPakistan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCitizenship$zPakistan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPakistan$xPolitics and government$y1947-1971 607 $aPakistan$xPolitics and government$y1971-1988 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 0$aCitizenship$xHistory 676 $a320.54095491 676 $a950 700 $aQasmi$b Ali Usman$01810988 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910967890203321 996 $aQaum, Mulk, Sultanat$94362572 997 $aUNINA
