Chapter 2 (Question/Answers)

 Comprehnsion Questions with answers

1. What major challenges did Pakistan face immediately after its independence, as highlighted by Quaid-e-Azam?

Pakistan faced mass killings, refugee crises, financial withholding by India, and economic blockades. Despite these, it remained resilient and strengthened over time.

2. According to the Quaid, what is the difference between freedom and license?

Freedom means acting with responsibility. License means doing whatever one wants without considering others or the state’s interests, which is harmful.

3. Why does Quaid-e-Azam emphasize the need for technical education in Pakistan?

Technical education provides practical skills needed for economic growth and self-sufficiency. It opens up better career options beyond government jobs.

4. How does Quaid-e-Azam differentiate between the struggle for freedom and the responsibility of nation-building?

Fighting for freedom was emotional and united people. Nation-building is more difficult—it needs discipline, planning, and long-term commitment.

5. Explain the significance of self-reliance and diversification of careers in Quaid-e-Azam’s message to the youth.

He urged youth to pursue careers in commerce, industry, and technical fields, not just government jobs. This would ensure personal growth and national progress.

6. What does Quaid-e-Azam suggest is more challenging than attaining freedom? Why?

Running a country is harder than gaining independence. It demands discipline, unity, and responsible governance.

7. If you were a university student during Quaid-e-Azam’s time, how would his speech influence your career choices?

It would push me to explore private sector opportunities, technical fields, or entrepreneurship instead of limiting myself to a government job.

8. Why is the rejection of the “clerk mentality” important for a newly independent state, as per Quaid’s vision?

Pakistan needed builders, not clerks. Moving beyond the “clerk mentality” would foster innovation and reduce overdependence on government employment.

9. In today’s context, how relevant is Quaid-e-Azam’s advice regarding choosing fields like banking, industry, or commerce over government jobs?

Highly relevant. Private and technical sectors offer more growth, better income, and help develop the economy faster than limited government roles.

10. Interpret and analyze the following statements from the speech:

a. “Freedom, however, does not mean license…”

True freedom requires responsibility and awareness of others’ rights. Irresponsible freedom harms society.

b. “It is far more difficult to construct than to have a militant spirit…”

Building a stable nation needs more effort than just fighting for freedom.

c. “There is no shame in doing manual work…”

All work has dignity. Technical and manual jobs are valuable for both individual success and national development.

Do you think the play suggests that certain tasks are gender-specific, or does it emphasize the importance of experience over gender? Explain your answer.
