註釋

As The Two-Nation Theory Culminated In The Creation Of Pakistan, The Same Also Became The Ideology Of The State For The Purpose Of Legitimising Political Authority. However, Religion-Based National Identity Could Not Cement The Diverse Socio-Cultural Entities Of Pakistan. The Myth Of Cohesive Islamic Nationhood Was Exploded With The Creation Of Bangladesh In 1971. Although, Pakistan Has Managed To Survive As A Nation-State, Aspiring Multiple Identities Continue To Pose Threats To Its Mono-Religious National Identity. In The Face Of Contesting Multiple Identities, The Domination Of Punjab And Punjabis Still Remains A Defining Core, Alongwith The Islamic Identity. The Present Study Explores, Analyses And Estimates This On-Going Process Of Interface Of Rival Ethno-Sectarian, Linguistic And Regional Identities And Pakistan As A Nation-State.
