What do people here believe?
Since Jinnah took it upon himself to be a spokesperson for all Indian Muslims, and proposed that Hindus and Muslims could not live together, and as such were two totally different people, the country got divided. Partition happened. About a milion people died violently. Yet it soon became clear that a large propostion of Muslims had put in their lot with India. Did that not defeat Jinnah right there? Was there therefore not just cause to revert the Partition then as an experiment gone horribly wrong?
But the seed of hatred was sown and had taken root. Coming back together would mean far greater reprisals and bloodshed. And the Indian Muslims had to carry Pakistan around their necks like a millstone for deades thereafter. So please NEVER even in jest claim that the creation of Pakistan did some good for Indian Muslims. It was a communal legacy that we as a country took decades to erase. So if there is any feeling of vindication today, it is on our side to see you fighting and killing each other. Not the other way around.
