Religion and politics in Pakistan are very closely related. This fusion of
religion and politics took place before the creation of Pakistan as the
very idea of a separate state for Indian Muslims was shaped by
religion. After independence the issue got further impetus and the
religious leaders, the ulema, very assertively demanded for Islamizing
the system. The process actually started in 1949 with the passage of
Objectives Resolution which provided for the Islamic foundation of
future laws in Pakistan. The Objectives Resolutions was followed by
three constitution passed by the regimes of different leaders ranging
from Islamic oriented to the secular leaders like Ayub and Bhutto but
none of them could dare separate religion from politics. Zulfiqar Ali
Bhutto contested and won election in 1970 on secular agenda but he
could not implement his socialist program and soon had to retreat to
Islam as a saving force. This paper is an account of Bhutto’s
Islamization process. The study attempts to discuss that how a secular
leader with a socialist program resorted to Islam? What were those
factors which barred Bhutto from implementing his agenda? The paper
is a qualitative study largely based on secondary data gleaned from
articles, books and theses.
