ZIA UL HAQ & ZIAUR REHMAN: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIZATION IN PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to going over the ideas, factors, effects, solutions, requirements, limits, and situations that both the Generals of Bangladesh and Pakistan encountered while serving their respective terms in government.  There was no need for constitutional amendment when the nations separated in 1971 because they were both governed by the same constitution.  The entire story is predicated on a complex fallacy that is widely held in the countries where political and international applications are collaborating to thwart the influence and ascent to power of Islamic administrations that hold conservative worldviews. The hypothesis that military regimes are naturally unstable because their leaders lack the political skills necessary for survival and legitimacy—such as effective communication, negotiation, public appeal, and the creation of new political strategies—will be tested in this study based on Islamic Ideology. According to this theory, the reason military governments are naturally unstable is that their leaders are incapable of developing new political strategies, persuading others, or engaging in effective negotiation. Based on the research findings, the military dictatorship led by Generals Zia ul Haq and Zia ur Rahman was responsible for the genocide carried out because of a deep-seated mistrust of Islamic culture.
