It is bad that things like AIMPLB exist in India, sooner or later such idiotic boards need to be dismantled...

Check their site, to see what they think about themselves..

Re: # 6
Just as India is both secular and host to miltant/fascists hindus of the sangh!

Pakistan's secular character has taken a beating since the afghan war but we don't hate hindus like hindus hate us- India thrives on hating pakistan- for pakistan India is just another nuisance we have to deal with.

This is one of the most ‘delicately subtle’ accounts of the partition and subsequent blunders in Pakistan that I have read.

Thank you very much, Mr. Khan for writing it. Although you only wrote a summary of the blunders (including missing many details), but for my generation (the one after yours) the Pakistan experiment had a new mixture added to it - imported Wahabi ideology as if it were not potent enough to begin with. The experiment continues, and those who can’t possibly get a busboy job in the west are now put in-charge of running ‘our’ country.

On second reading I find a lot of inconsistencies, falsehoods.

One sentence summary:

"Aadhi chhod poori ko dhaave, poori mile na aadhi paave"

BTW what *exactly* did the great qaid-e-azam mean by "secular muslim state"? How could the state be both secular and muslim?
आलोक

how i love it when the writer says communalism came back with the BJP in the '80s.. oh the power of deceit & hyperboles ..well the rise of BJP can be directly linked to the AIMPLB's mishandling the shah bano's case wherein it forced the then government to subvert supreme court's ruling (a secular ruling to boot!).. apart there was also a small thing he also forgot to mention.. petty since it concerns non muslims..BJP rose into prominence when the pandits were cleansed by genteel muslim kashmiris..is it any wonder that non muslims have been systematically eradicated in muslim majority areas? can the writer give us specific examples contradicting this?

I'll excuse the disjointed ramblings of an old man and not comment on what a load of nonsense, with the occasional perceptive insight, this stream-of-consciousness essay contains.

I do like the way that, like all good Muhajirs, he conveniently manages to NOT mention the fact that it was a Muhajir (Liaquat Ali Khan) who brought Islam into the Pakistani political equation with his Objectives Resolution. However, I am grateful that he does not fall into the old Muhajir habit of complaining that there was nothing in Karachi before they came and how the Karachi they had built has been destroyed by Punjabis and Pathans.

supremacism

Longish but a good read.

Mr. Khan, Federation is unthinkable and suicidal for India now. At the same time India has difficulty in shaking-off the history and treading a new path along with the other countries of the world.

U guys can come and enjoy time in India but Federation is suicidal for India. Best of luck for Muslim supremism that started in 1947..............

What should the people of the Sub-continent do to appease the 'such' self-pitying mohajirs? taqreeban 100 sall ho gaye rotey dhotey, ab bas karo bhai, kab tak rotey raho gey.
