Don't read like a moron..I said Bangali fought in the 1st row, never said west people did not want. Do you know geographically where Gujarat is?
If anyone the Muslims from the minority provinces were the most ardent supporters of Pakistan because they had, according to them, experienced what it felt like living as a minority surrounding by an overwhelming majority in a communally charged environment ! But this wasn't a bloody competition ! I admit that Pakistan was wrong in so many things....we made a million mistakes that we shouldn't have but when are you going to reciprocate and do some soul-searching yourself ? Urdu was made our language too when it is the mother tongue of only 9% (now...imagine what the percentage would have been in '47) of Pakistanis and till this date we proudly call it our own because we understand it across the length and breadth of Pakistan in varying degrees ! It is our lingua france - our common tongue ! No other language could have been afforded that place ! Not Bengali, not Punjabi, not Pashto.....none of them ! And the Agartalla Conspiracy wasn't just a figment of our imagination and neither were the Mukhti Bhaini a bunch of disciplined freedom fighters having the moral high ground !
