Abstract
This study unearths the correlation between the ideology of Pakistan and the discipline of Pakistan Studies, and its implications for the curriculum development of the aforesaid discipline in the county. There is a dire need to reconsider the curriculum of this significant discipline keeping in view the pre-requisites of this modern and digital era. With the advent of modern technology and application of scientific methods, not only the traditionally institutionalized methods and approaches of teaching, learning and research have been disappearing but a more rapid development in the prevailing academic environment is constantly occurring day by day. These changing circumstances force the intellectuals and academics to revisit the ideology, history, politics, ethnicity, economics, sociological writings, interpretation and reinterpretation of facts and figures pertaining to the study of our state and society. This study, thus, evaluates two different approaches i.e., primordial approach versus modern approach to understand Pakistan Studies as a full-fledged discipline amongst others. Scaffolding of the former approach is covered by beliefs and religious orientations while the hallmark of the latter is reason, rationality, impartiality and without prejudice.
