Abstract
Pluralism is a concept, which has been discussed in wider connotations with different perspectives and in different contexts. This paper aims to discuss the possible ideas of religious pluralism in Pakistan, correlating and elaborating with Western and Islamic political thoughts. This paper examines the impact of religious pluralism in Pakistan’s perspectives. It is argued that orthodox traditionalism somehow creates hindrance for the religious pluralism and the world security as well. This paper suggests we need religious tolerance to diminish the severe trend of orthodoxy, which leads towards conflict and violence. Moreover, it demonstrates, the societal tendencies, of our religious hegemonic groups that create hindrance for the security of the country, and the regional and world peace as well. Theoretical and ethnographical data reveal that Pakistan extremely needs the true sense of religious pluralism. This paper later shows the recurring phenomenon of violence in Pakistan is largely political and religious in nature.
