Ph.D
This dissertation explores the possibilities of Islamic statehood in post-colonial Pakistan through the works of three figures involved in framing the idea of the Islamic state: W.C. Smith, Muhammad Asad, and Muhammad Munir. Each of them would find ready opponents amongst the ‘ulama and the Jama’at, who imagined the creation of Pakistan as an opportunity to return to a precolonial past. In exploring these stories, this study aims to complicate the genealogy of the Islamic state idea as it was conceived in Pakistan and to provide a perspective from which to understand the ongoing struggles of the Pakistani state to come to terms with both its religious and secular heritage.
