Dr. Syeduddin, a prominent scholar, professor, and author, died in Karachi on July 9, 2024, after a brief illness. Born on January 11, 1954, a respected family from Agra in Karachi, he chased his MA, LLB, and PhD. From Karachi University, First Class third position in MA Political Science (1976). His teaching career covers three major Pakistani universities Bahadin Zakaria University, Multan, Balochistan University, and Mehran University of Engineering and Technology.

Dr. Syeduddin, along with his wife, Dr. Shahala Kazmi, visited Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran, who was a former director of Quaid-e-Zam Academy, Karachi.

He was a capable author, who was famous for his books, Zul, a textbook of Pakistan Studies, a textbook of Pakistan Studies, and many articles along with the Pakistan Mine Intext and Cycosat. Its PhD dissertation, the political role of military and bureaucracy in Pakistan (1947-1992), is unpublished.

In his works, Mishraqi stands as a cautious researched account about the separation of East Pakistan, which was first published in May 1979 when he was a lecturer at Bahadin Zakaria University, Multan. The book, which contains 120 pages, provided a detailed historical, political and economic analysis of these factors, which led to tragic dispersion in Pakistan in 1971.

Dr. Syeduddin’s main argument revolves around the role of Islam and Urdu as the forces that united forces tied both wings of Pakistan together. He highlighted how East Bengal played an important role in the creation of the country, pointing out that 96 % of the Bengali Muslims voted for Pakistan in 1946 and that the Bengali leader, a Fazal -ul -Haq, presented Pakistan’s resolution in 1940. They founded Islam. Ethnic ID

An important part of the book is dedicated to linguistic stress and their role in creating differences between East and West Pakistan. Dr. Syeduddin criticized Quaid-ul-Usman Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s speech in Dhaka of 1948, where he declared Urdu as a state language. The author believes that as long as the provinces can promote their languages, the decision to introduce Bengali as the second state language in 1954 was an important turning point. He suggests that more language -related strategic policy has helped maintain national unity.

The book also exploits political and economic grievances that have given the separatist movement. This is deeply criticized by Sheikh Mujibur Rehman’s six -point agenda, which Dr. Syeduddin believed was misinterpreted as a call for separation. Referring to LF Rushbrook Williams’ book, East Pakistan tragedy, he highlighted that Mujib never initially demanded separation. In fact, he tried more sovereignty within the United Pakistan. The book argues that the West Pakistani leadership was busy in a meaningful dialogue, which could have been a breakthrough between the two wings.

The last chapters discuss Pakistan’s reaction to the loss of East Pakistan. Dr Syeduddin said how people from Peshawar to Karachi rejected the identity of Bangladesh in public meetings. However, after the OIC summit in Lahore, the Pakistani government formally acknowledged Bangladesh in 1974.

The author’s analysis offers a thinking and deep -researched perspective about the fall of Dhaka, challenging traditional statements. He emphasized that if Pakistan had been committed to Islam of its founding principles, because the ideological foundation and Urdu as a solidarity language could have been avoided.

All his life, Dr. Syeduddin has been deeply concerned about Pakistan’s national integrity. He believed that ignoring Islam and Urdu could damage the stability of the country. He often expressed his concern in a conversation with his wife, Dr. Shahla Kazmi (former Director of Quaid-e-Zam Academy, Karachi).

His writings reflect a deep understanding of history, politics and national identity. Mishraqi Pakistan’s Zul is an important partnership for political literature, which offers valuable insights in one of the most specific moments in Pakistan. Dr. Syeduddin’s intellectual heritage will continue to affect future generations, although its absence left a void that no one can really fill in the fill.
