Bro you can move on with 100s of Gujrat, Babri Masjid etc. like incidents in India not we. So good luck with your stay in Maha Baharat, Wish you best of luck again.
Are bhai, what has this got to do with the topic. Besides, Im not saying you have to come and live in India or become a part of India either.
Im just explaning the reality that the partition was primarily a strategic objective of the British/US against the growing Communist threat, where Pakistan would eventually play a prominent role. It was secondary that it was politcal settlement between the major politicians at that time.
It was not a solution to the Hindu-Muslim "problem" as it was made out to be.

Well ,I don't know who brainwashed you but can you please tell me which elite family Jinnah belongs to? FYI, Nawabs and Elite joined ML when it was apparent after WWII that subcontinent will have two separate states and still it is mystery where all those Nawabs went after Pakistan came into existence in 1947... I am yet to see a Nawab's familiy in Pakistani politics whihc joined ML lately to rule the masses as you depict.
Current Pakistani elite has nothing to do with leaders of ML of 1940s be it Nawabs or otherwise.
Muslim League was
founded by Nawabs of Bengal and Sir Aga Khan and their aim was to promote loyalty to the Crown. It was on their request that seperate electorates was offered for their benefit in Bengal in 1906. Jinnah was opposed to ML at the beginning because of their domination and joined it later only to bring it closer to Congress.
It was only later that some of the salariat (the muslims who were civil servants in the British Raj) of UP and Bihar joined the ML and gave it a mass movement flavour instead of just for the elite. The reigns were still held by those who founded the party. Hence, Nawab Liawat Ali Khan became the first PM, The Bhutto family who grand father was landlord with influential relationship with British ( and was gifted land by them ) became a permanant fixture in Pakistani politics. Infact, other than Military rulers and Nawaz Sharif, all presidents and PMs have had Nawab or Landlord background exclusing MA Jinnah.
Now we have two sets of elites, The one comprising of Nawabs and Landlords who have diversified their bussiness and are super rich, and the other is the Military elite and intelliegence establishment and those who were supported by them like the MMA parties and Nawaz Sharif (who have also grown pretty rich).
The only hope is the growing Pakistani middle class, it is only this group that can help Pakistan become stable and strong by rejecting domination of both orders. They should use the democratic setup and the numbers game to provide leadership to bring the poor masses with them and constitutinally draw up a new path for Pakistan.
