The Saudi Arabia and Iran Factor in Sectarian Conflict of Pakistan: Critical and Analytics Study in Historic and Contemporary Scenario

Abstract

This research will take a close look at the often unseen and unheard situation of these countries. In terms of Saudi Iranian relations, this quantitative research examines Pakistan’s complexity of sectarian conflicts and divisions. Pakistan has emerged as a country more vulnerable to internal dangers than external threats at the moment in recent history. However, external forces have exacerbated these internal dangers. Every level of its society is mucking up Islam for egotistical interests, either directly or indirectly. Because of its ancient, traditional fundamental framework, Islam means that peace, fraternity, and harmony are usually truly in effect. Sectarianism, turbulence, turmoil, anarchy, pessimism, superstitious questioning, terrible illiteracy, and massive poverty are all consequences of these wrongdoings. This growth was continually fuelled by Iran and Saudi Arabia. Because of internal political changes and the repercussions of the Islamic revolution in Iran and orthodox approach of Saudi Arabia, a sectarian rift emerged in Pakistan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The mentioned foreign locations’ ideological and geostrategic squabbles have had a direct impact on Pakistan. Pakistan had been a suitable heaven for non-state actors to promote their agenda for achievement of their core objectives of divide and rule. The research will find out causes, remedies and diagnosis to analyze the real picture of future prospects.
