The Chinese imaginary GC, of course. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The PRC and its CPC leadership, shown up as aggressors who cover up internal infirmities and disasters in management of biological research facilities by sacrificing their soldiers on their borders as a distraction. Indian traders will flock to whichever place is willing to kill its workers and...

All accounts means verifiable accounts, not self-praise by an interested party. Where do you dig up these creatures? No, don't answer, I can sense that your answer will be bruising, and that I will be told that they come from the same cesspool as Hindutvavadi distortion artists, who are bent...

What is this proving? A resolution asking the ulema to issue fatwas in its favour is precisely that, an effort by the Muslim League to enlist support that clearly did not exist. If it existed, it would not have been necessary to pass resolutions asking for it to be done. Do you not read what...

Physics within Yoga? The chakras, and that farrago of nonsense as a balance between physics and metaphysics? Get attention, urgently. And stay away from "Instructor", whoever or whatever he might be.

Then what the Sangh wants is not a democracy. I am glad that some idiot, you in this case, has come out clearly with the bigoted idea at the core of the Sangh's philosophy. Now we know what it means, under that pompous nonsense about Indic and Abrahamic faiths.

Nobody of serious weight has claimed this, other than the Mullahs or their representatives who have the most to gain by creating a retrospective role for themselves, one that never existed.

This is a laughable later-day recreation based on fictional accounts and a retro-fitting of the role of the ulema into the freedom struggle. Nobody for all these years had claimed any role for the ulema, it is already the consensus that Maudoodi was an example of those Islamic scholars who...

I did look at the attachment in the first instance. It has nothing to do with the theory of chakras as expounded by some yoga practitioners, and is meaningless mumbo-jumbo, so I ignored it. Who is Instructor Benjamin? I have no idea. If he is the person responsible for what I read in the...

Noted. Since the state owed its very existence to the almost single-handed effort of Jinnah, dismissing him (and Iqbal, whether casually or otherwise) does not seem logical. None of the Islamic scholars had anything to do with the political struggle that led to the concession by the British of...

Why do you think I was immediately hooked by your conversation? Perhaps you and Sarmad Sahib might consider letting @SoulSpokesman introduce you to YLH? You might have a fascinating 3-way conversation. He is quite generous with his time, when his health permits. Remember he lives in Pakistan...

Delightful.

Oh, absolutely so. After all, historiography was brought in deliberately, by professional historians, on realising and accepting as a general principle that their personal situations and societal locations would inevitably bias their findings. We owe it to ourselves to recognise and externalise...

I wish you good fortune in your research. It is too important a matter to be abandoned without sufficient effort. Yes, and coming from a minutely-knowledgeable person like him, it must be weighed with seriousness.

Excellent advice, and worth seeking funding for the research. Such funding will surely be available, especially in the context of the state of the archives in Pakistan that you have described in such shocking detail. As I have already mentioned, a breakthrough in this regard will be a...

Not at all. An eminent scholar, Muqtedar Khan, of my own adopted city of Hyderabad, has done outstanding work in this area. PLEASE read him, as he is an eminent authority from my lowly point of view, in the area of applying Islamic principles to the practice of modern democracies. A caution...

No, no, thank you very much, but I am not in the same class as Sarmad Sahib. In very broad terms, if you do find original sources that support your proposition that Islamic experts were called together to deliberate on how to define a Muslim state with full expression of democratic principles...

Oh, no cavil about other primary sources, none at all.

! As a fortunate outsider, it is instructive to see that all the primary ideological figures of the foundation of Pakistan are casually dismissed with a wave of the hands, and what never was explicit at the time is brought to the forefront as an example of what could have been done, therefore...

They certainly don't do the opposite; they don't prove the department's lack of official standing, they don't prove the existence of any 'charter' either. To extrapolate from missing evidence that such missing evidence might not have undercut an alternative narrative, or that it being missing...
