Pakistan needs to forget its heros [unedited]

For the last sixty something years, we Pakistanis, as a nation, have not been able to figure out what Pakistan is. For some Pakistan means "La Illa Ha Illal La" while for others its just a muslim majority secular country. And everytime we rage into this debate, we end up commiting a mistake, we look back to our leaders, mind you past leaders, for answers. We revert to history and try go through each every word the founding fathers said and try to get into symantics of something which might only have been true in that specific moment.I propose two arguments against looking back to individuals like Quaid-e-Azam or even Iqbal for the identity of Pakistan. First, we have a very strong assumption that all our founding fathers had a coherent view of what Pakistan's ideology would be. Even if thats true, that ideology might not be compatible with the aspirations of the youth in the twenty first century. Secondly, the vaccuum of a consistent ideology for Pakistan, has made Pakistani nation, if it exists, to evolve into a nation which only identifies itself as an antithesis of India. Pakistan on its own means nothing, unless, its in a context of India.If founding fathers knew what Pakistan meant then it wouldnt have had taken them nine years to figure out a constitution. Even Khwaja Nazimuddin, the first President of Pakistan, is on record to say that what Pakistan means is neither known by him nor any other member of Muslim League except Jinnah. Moreover, the idea of Pakistan seems to have been kept vague by Jinnah to mould several distinct nations like Sindhis, Balochis, Punjabis and Bengalis; and the religious minded individuals because nationalistic leaders were inherently secular while others were religious. Therefore, Pakistan came from a womb of a vague ideology.Even if we ignore, the entire historical account of the political astuteness rather than a consistent ideology through which Pakistan was formed, there are still chances that the new generation of Pakistan does not find it compatible or at the least, wants to tone down certain ideas here and there. After all, as I have said, nations evolve but somehow we Pakistanis have always been susceptible to change. For whatever reason, Pakistani society has dramatically polarized. We have on one end extremely religious individuals, while on the other we can find relatively modernized or even westernized individuals with comparably different thought processes. While, in the middle we find plethora of people, especially the youth, trying to figure out what Pakistan is, what is their identity, whether being a Pakistani means modern muslim or a devout muslim or can even both of them be reconciled with the identity of a Pakistani? And, as a nation we cannot survive, if the polarization continues and looking back to our "ideals" wouldnt help either because we have changed because its been sixty odd years of no identity. The only option left is to forge a new identity for what Pakistan is and what it stands for without any preconcieved notions of Pakistan means or without any hint of prejudice. Let the new generation take the lead, because we dont have choice.Perhaps its too late, but we can still give it a try. Let our heros die for once, and let them bask in their glory of achievements and giving us a pure land of Pakistan, instead of looking back to them for guidance. We are our own guidance, we are Pakistan. We have to take it forward and nobody from past will or can do it.
