The Sufis played a key role in spreading Islam in the Indian subcontinent through their missionary work, exemplary character, and humanitarian activities. They established Sufi orders and fraternities that attracted many converts to Islam. The Sufis emphasized spiritual worship, simplicity, and equality, which appealed to many in India's rigid caste system. Their khanqahs, or centers, provided spiritual guidance, food for the poor, and promoted religious harmony. Major Sufi orders like the Chishtiyah and Suhrawardiyah helped establish Islam throughout South Asia.

Pakistan has had 4 constitutions since its independence in 1947. The interim constitution was the Government of India Act of 1935. The constitutions of 1956, 1962, and 1973 were later adopted but all faced amendments or abrogation. The 1973 constitution remains in effect today but has faced numerous amendments over controversial issues like the powers of the Prime Minister and President. Pakistan's constitutional development has been impacted by political instability, martial laws, the language issue, and the distribution of powers between federal and provincial governments.
The major constitutional issues faced by Pakistan's first Constituent Assembly included federalism, representation, the national language, and defining the relationship between Islam and the state. There was debate around the division of powers between the central and provincial governments, representation in parliament given regional demographic differences, and whether to adopt Urdu or Bengali as the national language. The Assembly also discussed a parliamentary vs. presidential system and whether to define Pakistan as an Islamic or secular state. It ultimately passed the Objectives Resolution which established Pakistan's basic objectives and rejected theocracy while affirming Islam as the guiding principle.
This document discusses the challenges Pakistan faced in drafting its first constitution after independence in 1947. There was debate around whether Pakistan should be a secular democratic state or an Islamic state governed by Islamic law. Supporters of an Islamic state, known as the Ulema, wanted a system that closely followed 7th century Islamic principles, while others advocated for a modern democratic system that respected Islamic values. This debate led to delays in the constitution drafting process and disagreements over the role of Islamic law. The proposed constitution attempted to balance these views by including some references to Islam but largely establishing a secular democratic system with protections for religious minorities.

Local governments in Pakistan function at the grassroots level and are formed by people in a locality to address local problems and basic needs. They include local committees, coordination committees, district councils, and provincial development advisory councils. Local committees are elected by villages or town districts and are responsible for organizing local services like roads, sanitation, and safety. District councils take the general outlines from higher councils and adapt them to local circumstances to outline local policies for their areas. The functions of local governments include both compulsory functions related to public services as well as optional functions.
This document discusses gender equality in education and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It finds that girls are less likely than boys to pursue STEM subjects and careers. Stereotypes influence the expectations and performance of both female and male students from an early age. For example, in the 1960s most students drew male scientists, whereas now about one-third draw female scientists. The document also discusses how questioning styles in exams can influence student performance, with girls benefiting more than boys from scaffolded questions. It emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive, equitable learning environments to encourage more girls and women to participate in STEM.
