There was no shifting of the goalposts. The British were committed to Pakistan before the Muslim League was committed to Pakistan. The Muslim League committed itself only after 10th July 1946; everything that was done to secure the components of the Pakistan to be was done by the British...

That is precisely the wrong reading, and it is not surprising. The British intensely distrusted Nehru's associations with the Bloomsbury Group, and with the kind of Fabian Socialism that was a popular theme then, and that the British establishment, including Churchill, distrusted deeply. It was...

I am shocked to see that a handful of Indians and Bangladeshis are more intensely absorbed in hoping against hope that Pakistan will pull through, while some well-known extremist elements, who were full of bile and bitterness against Indians until very recently appear to have given up and folded...

Take them one at a time. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan had no negative contact with Hindus and Sikhs, but was a totally British worshipping individual, who concluded that the backwardness of his assumed community, considering Muslims to be one community throughout the length and breadth of India...

Y Chromosomes, yes, languages, no. Please take the trouble of doing a little homework before bursting into this extremely stupid type of post. You happen to be one of the rational people in this discussion, so please don't get unsettled by the imbeciles attacking you with every false notion in...

Idiot that I am, not to remember that he was not alone. Congratulations, @hatehs, you've done your meaningful post of the thread. Well done. It does not. You iil-informed numskull. Looks like somebody doesn't know either history or sociology. LOL. And on, and bloody on. Y Chromosomes, yes...

You're wrong. The bulk of Indians settled or long term resident in the US are the worst supporters of Hindutva, and offer a great deal of support to the elements back in India that are the worst. The support ranges from the cringe-worthy adulation of a known riot encouraging autocrat with a...

How about saying you were wrong about 'part of the course' and moving on, without being so tiresomely defensive? Clearly, you have superior examination skills and superior promotion-worthy qualities, and can manage without English. You shouldn't feel defensive about that one weak spot.

What happened on that date?

How long? How many times? Well, there you go, @SoulSpokesman. Here it comes - the international/transnational conspiracy. Serves you right, @SoulSpokesman.

Whatever that means.....

Isn't it strange that the whole world, including the countries of the Middle East, have come to the common understanding that Pakistan cannot be relied on? That was brutal. If you don't allow him to spin these stories, what is he left with? He has nothing to say.

Not according to the figures. Once you leave school, and learn a bit about economics, you will learn that Indian trade is booming, Indian fe reserves are at an all-time high, and while a neighbouring nation is unable to import food, and is closing factories due to a shortage of raw materials...

LOL. Each and every one of the so-called freedom fighters was thrown out, with one exception. Musharraf gave no orders for anything, as his Prime Minister was sitting and petitioning the Americans, in Washington, to retrieve his country from the consequences of Musharraf's stupidity. Read Bruce...

Again, read first. The tribals were scattered in short order, the resistance was mainly from the people of so-called Azad Kashmir, reinforced by the Pakistan Army that openly entered the war in May 1948. The Gilgit Scouts retreated to the Skardu part of Baltistan, and to Gilgit, and it was late...

Try not to babble. Once you can put together a coherent thought, it will be the right time to post. Not before. There were five, and the Afghan government has been pressing India to return, even though India does not recognise that government. It may be a good idea for you to concentrate on...

100% agree. I am strongly in favour of India making every effort to build bridges with Pakistan, but that is not for the sake of India. That is for the sake of the Pakistani men and women, who have nothing to do with the complicated schemes of the establishment. India by herself is moving...

There was one battalion of the Indian Army outside Srinagar. Every man jack had to be flown in. The Pakistan Army was not in action officially; only its officers, on leave, were part of the so-called tribal raiders. You talk of 'most like were out numbered by the Indians 30 to 1'. I am forced...

There was no Indian Army while the tribals marched up to Muzaffarabad by the 22nd of October, and then on to Baramula, where they looted, killed and raped for the interval needed for Hari Singh to sign his accession to India. Only very weak elements of the State Forces stood between them and...
