On the contrary, it is you who cannot provide a shred of evidence that Jinnah believed in the sort of secularism you want that would preclude an Islamic republic
It’s clear he has no idea what he is talking about. Leave him in his ignorance. Islam was so quickly adopted by ajamis in Persia that we quickly became the majority of the ummah by the time of the Unmayads. Islamic history is more Ajami history than it is Arab history.
Read objectives resolution. And how Jinnah selected religious ulema to advise on its drafting. The panel was constituted before his death and passed after his death.

This is simply wrong.
First of all, the quote that this comes from has a context. It was a speech primarily addressed to the minorities in Pakistan who had suffered from violence and bloodshed post partition. He was telling them that the formation of the two states had to happen and there was...
I don’t quite understand this secular liberal obsession with India valley. You do know that Pakistan included Bangladesh when it was formed? How is that part of india valley?

Can I be perfectly honest? This could be a good thing for us actually.
With high population density, it actually makes sense for us to address this issue of arable land, and potable water. We could build large desalination plants and pump said water up our dams. And reservoirs and have it get...
You are not missing just the whole forest, you are also missing the lake, the sun, the moon, the stars. It’s as if you are looking from inside a black hole beyond the event horizon.
Tbh, that our constitution in its basic structure is parliamentary is suspect to start out with. That it cannot be amended to become a presidential system is likewise suspect.
Other countries, like say Turkey, have changed their constitutions to go from parliamentary system to a presidential...
I remember I was having this convo on this forum before Shahbaz became PM and I was asking if Shahbaz was really so much more competent as compared to Buzdar. And the consensus was that no Shahbaz is actually very competent supposedly.
Well that turned out to be a dud. It’s much more likely in...
Machiavellian politics and rationality do not mix well.
