Abstract
This study is not a conventional one rather the subaltern pattern has been taken as a model to
understand the contribution of a leader who played a very significant role in the Pakistan
Movement for a long span of time for the sake of the nation without focusing his personal
interests. That is why, despite very valuable contribution of Allamah Raghib Ahsan, his name has
so far been in the dormant for the common readers of the discipline of history. But it is generally
understood that without proper understanding of the contribution of the leaders who stood in the
second or third stages of leadership who prepared proper ground for the implementation of the
idea of Pakistan. To understand the role of Allamah Raghib Ahsan in the Pakistan movement it
seems to be important to quote here a portion of famous histrican Toynbee‟s statement – “… I
find that in a general way the growth of a society can be measured in terms of the increasing
power of self-determination won by society‟s leaders; and I believe that the future fate of
civilization lies in the hands of the this minority of creative persons (Arnold Toynbee).”
