Bibliographies III Preface There is an escapable verdict of history. Those nations which ignore their history are ignored by their geography. History is not simply a record of past events. Its relevance and its importance assume greater worth and value, specially, for a nation which has suffered geographical split in the recent past. Study of the history of Pakistan in this regard, presents a classic example of a struggle for freedom, a villainous neglect of its ideology and a criminal betrayal of the idealism of its founding-father. All the great nation of the world, therefore remain devotedly attached to achievements of their ancestors, learn valuable lessons from their mistakes and determined their future course of action accordingly. Unfortunately, we are a nation, which is utterly oblivious of past. In Islam it was said that the Muslim could not get harm again on the same spot. We adopted the Islamic way of life and made the same mistakes of past again and again. To get power is easy but to pay the duties of the responsibilities are difficult. One wanted to hold the great responsibilities but to perform one’s duty be very tough. Pakistan was an idea in 1930, and ideal in 1940 and reality in 1947. Pakistan appeared on the map of world as a result of an incredible miracle but it also had to grapple with very great painful turmoil. It is the duty of all Pakistani that they think for Pakistan and do well for the country and never think bad for anyone. One also had good feeling for one’s enemies and opponents. It was the things that seem to be good in the books but in the hurdles of life one might forgotten them. IV In the first chapter of my thesis the discussion was made on the biography of Nawaz Shareef. His family came from Amritsar now situated in India. He belongs to the village of Jutti Amro from there they migrated in Lahore of Pakistan. In Pakistan they worked hard and became the well renowned family of Pakistan. After two years of freedom Nawaz Shareef was born in 1949. He got his education of religion from the native Qari and then got education from Lahore College and then from Punjab University he got the degree of law. In second chapter of the thesis the circumstances of Pakistan politics form the independence had been discussed. After the death of the great leaders of nation Quaid-i-Azam and Liaqat Ali khan the country went into the hand of the bureaucrats and the politician who had no love with the country. They came in the country and went away abroad or sent them foreign to secure his government. No constitution was adopted that the man who made mistake, punishment could be given him. That was the great tragedy of Pakistan throughout in its politics. Public masses was given deceive all the history of Pakistan. No one tried to change the situation. One tried to give security his government and power. No one thought about the masses, they were just ruling over them. The political atmosphere of Pakistan was discussed before joining the field by Nawaz Shareef. The main reason of Nawaz Shareef to come in politics of Pakistan was late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who took the industry under the control of government and the owner of the industries made shelter less. So Nawaz Shareef came in politics of Pakistan and became a well known personality of Pakistan. V In third chapter The Elections of 1988 are discussed and establishment of center and provincials governments. In center PPP established her government and Benazir Bhutto elected as prime minister of Pakistan while in Punjab Nawaz Shareef on the Platform of IJI elected the Chief Minister. Presidential election also discussed in which president Ghulam Ishaq Khan elected as president. The confrontation between Benazir Government and Nawaz Shareef Government are discussed. In forth chapter the achievements and success of Nawaz Shareef Government in Health, Education, Law & Order Situation and Welfare of public are discussed. At the end of this chapter the confrontation of president and prime minister discussed that made the cause of dismissal of federal and provincial governments as well as Punjab government. As a result the progressive period in Punjab stopped. At last the conclusion was made. At the end of the thesis the bibliography was given from which the material was taken to prove the facts At the end of preface of the thesis I wanted to thank to my respected teachers who made me able to do such work. It could complete due to the guidance of my teachers and the prayers of my parents and I also thanked all those who helped me in this work directly or indirectly. Khalid Rashid Roll No.22. 1 Introduction 2 Background:- After the First World War 1914-1919 the wave of economic crisis rose in all over the world. No country could save her against the effect of the wave. Such was happened in subcontinent. This wave was on full swing that distressed the economy of the world (1). A lot of factories were closed. UNO (2) an international organization was working for the interest of big countries. The movement of freedom against the big powers was on the way. The name of Pakistan was also proposed. Two young men from Jutti Amrao (3) of Amritsar came in Lahore for job. Those were the uncles of Nawaz Shareef Mr. Barkat and Shafi who got a job in a foundry. Although that job was a difficult but they were hard workers and were happy on getting the job (4). When they were established there, Barkat the elder brother decided to bring his other brother Bashir and Shareef in Lahore of Punjab. The last was the father of Nawaz Shareef. All of them established themselves and saved some money for the business (5). All brothers were very worked hard with unity and got place in business community. The foundry where they were employed, now due to their hardworking became the owner. (6). Shareef was an important character for the progress of the family (7). His hardworking and determination could be presented as example for others. Very rare persons were there who made so progress and became the hero from zero. In 1939 they saved much money to run their own business and at that time Shareef had also got education to do so. They purchased a foundry (8) and worked there because they were expert in foundry work, so they established 3 their business very soon. In Second World War the demands of foundry items for war tools increased. So they made progress by leaps and bound (9). War ended many other foundries were got bad effects. It was due to Shareef‘s truthfulness and administration; they remained successful in the business (10). In 1945 Shareef introduce a foreigner who was expert to make cast iron from scrape; so Shareef offered him job in his Ittefaq foundry. Ittefaq paid him one thousand and five hundred as salary at that time; it was a huge amount that was paid him by Ittefaq (11). All the progress was due to the skill of Shareef (12) consequently although he was younger but his all brothers respected him very much because he was running the business and was an educated man (13). They were very prosperous when Pakistan came into existence. As Pakistan emerged on the map of the world the English and Indian National Congress created a lot of administrative, economic, accession of states and moral problems for newly born Pakistan (14). But the top of the list was the arrival of millions of refugees from east Punjab and other non majority area of Muslim in Pakistan. The Mian Brothers left no stone unturned to help and serve the poor for establishing themselves. The main cause of helping the refugees was that they had also seen the rainy days. So they took part to stabilize the refugees (15). After the emergence of Pakistan the Hindus were dominant in business and industry sector. A vacuum was created in Pakistan after their departure in which Mian Brothers got further chance to made progress and served the country to fill the vacuum (16). Nawaz Shareef was born on December 25, 1949 after nearly two year of creation of Pakistan (17). His father belonged to 4 upper middle class in business comunity (18). He got religious education from his home by Hafiz Muhammad Rafi (19). In the age of five year he was admitted in Saint Anthony High school (20). He got admission in Government College Lahore for graduation and later on from Punjab University he received the degree of law (21). After completing his education he joined the business of his father as chief executive officer of the Ittefaq Group of Industries. In 1972 Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (1928-1979 here after Bhutto) (22) nationalized the industry so Ittefaq foundry was also nationalized and he had to lose the control over his industry and his business merged in National Institution (23).
