Lofty words do not mean anything.

When all is said and done, the ``spirit`` of Pakistan was exclusivist - to make distinction among men based on the accident of their religion of birth. The end result of such ``spirit`` was predictable - based on simple common sense. Those who believe in making no such distinction should shed no tears on the ``spirit`s`` demise.

It never had a physical basis!
