In my humble opinion, Pakistan, as originally conceived by Allama Iqbal and created thru struggles of Muslim League & Quaid e Azam was lost by two events:
First one was the creation of Bangla Desh in 1971 which put an end to the two nation theory. If it is truly the religion; not the land; which makes a nation then why did the Bengalis separate? During the discussions with some of my friends we came to the conclusion that Lucknow resolution of 1930, where his Two Nation” theory was first proposed; Allama Iqbal did not envisage a separate homeland involving migration of about 14-million souls. Allama Iqbal’s idea was primarily to have Muslim rule in Muslim majority areas without any large scale uprooting of the population and have a “Confederation” with the Hindu majority areas. Remember it was Allama Iqbal who wrote “Saray jahan se achcha Hindustan Hamaraa”( Tarana Hind, Banag -e- Dara:

Second event was the usurpation by the bigot Zia, who falsified the history in the school text books. This means that the young generation is being taught words attributed to Quad –e- Azam which are totally incorrect. For example in todays The News International I found the following:
Quote
For example, during the Zia regime, in school text books, Jinnah was quoted as saying that, “Pakistan was created as a laboratory where Islamic experiments would be conducted”. Both PPP and PNA had claimed the same.
But during the Zia regime, the quote became ‘official’. In text books, Jinnah was claimed to have said this at a rally in Peshawar on Jan 13, 1948.
Jinnah said no such thing. The fact is, records suggest he wasn’t even in Peshawar on Jan 13, 1948. He was in Karachi. Instead, he spoke in Peshawar on April 14, 1948, and the speech that he made there has no reference at all to a “lab”.
Such false quotes attributed to various respectable Muslim figures were frantically aired during the PPP-PNA tussle. Then, throughout the Zia era (1977-89), many such quotes actually became part of official rhetoric and school texts, apparently placed there to justify the imposition of various draconian laws which were erected in the 1980s.

This is only one example, don’t how many other falsehoods are being fed to the unsuspecting minds of young Pakistanis.
