The defense minister of pakistan suggests constructing a unified pakistani identity and narrative vis-a-vis the afghan issues/identity, villainises ghaznawi and emphasises indigenous symbols and heroes. The point that khawaja asif sahab fails to consider is that the unified Pakistani identity can only be defined through the muslim identity since Pakistan is an inorganically divided territory with multiple ethnicities, some poles apart from each other culturally - islam can be the only organic glue. Every other "national narrative" would be ad hoc and ideologically fragile. Plus, if Islam is taken as the core of Pakistaniyat, and the national narrative, then it necessarily demands a particular stance towards history, current affairs and foreign policy, the islamic identity then supersedes the nation-state boundaries and essentially guides a trans-nationalistic policy-making with fellow muslim states and a certain type of appropriation of historical figures and incidents. One cannot construct an intra-Pakistan only islamic identity, that you only use in an ad hoc manner to control ethno-nationalist independence, while completely being oblivious to it when discussing foreign policy or engagement with history. Lastly, if indigenous narratives and symbols are to be prioritised over collective ummatic history and symbols, then would they allow a completely independent sindhi or baloch or pushtoon narrative building devoid of the centralised context. Either Islam is central element of identity narratives or ethnic-indigenous local culture is (the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive), "Pakistaniyat" is a dilemma that forces a middle ground between the two in an ad hoc way. (This isn't about the Ghaznawids particularly)

Isn't a society with a (materialist) baconian-nietzschean mindset coupled with social darwinism bound to triumph materially and politically over a society that prioritises ethical-akhirah over the material-dunya, doesn't worldly success require some attachment to dunya?

Liberalism in the muslim world is an ideologically spineless/hollow position, Pakistan's liberal-secular intelligentsia is suffering to position themselves in the post-liberal world order because they lack any coherent ideological foundations beneath their surface level adoption of liberalism.

The muslim submission to western modernity as the Meta-Narrative, has blurred our relationship with the dunya and blueprints of success in it - we can never achieve sovereignty in this world through mere nitpicked material imitation, our usage/ dependence on material cannot be detached from our immaterial axioms.

An "Islamic Nation-State" is not the ideal traditional muslim polity, it's a necessary compromise in a post bi-sovereign sociopolitical authority structures, the only way of upholding the muslim political sovereignty in a zero-sum game of authority amongst the hegemonic ideologies of modernity.

So there's this guy on tiktok, who discusses Art, Philosophy and Science (Dostoevsky, Akira Kurusawa etc) for Punjabi audience. The first time i came across his videos it altered my brain's wiring hearing these topics being discussed in punjabi. Really cool and interesting.
