sir all three of them are posting threads based on fake documents.....now that represents indian state of mind....why dont you control them.
they dont know simple geography.....most of them are claiming taxila is in india...while we all know it is in Pakistan,
You obviously do not know how to read. Bang Galore did not post threads based on fake documents, but on the authentic document. So sad that you do not know the difference. And I know better than to think that you represent the Pakistani state of mind, because I have had extended discussions with educated Pakistanis, and they do not resemble you in the least.
As far as simple geography is concerned, it is sad that you seem to have had no more than a nodding acquaintance with either geography or with history.
1. There was no Pakistan before 1947, just as there was no Sovereign, Secular, Socialist, Democratic Republic of India before 1947.
2. These two independent nations were granted nationality and independence by the British Crown, through its act of Parliament granting indenpendence to India.
3. The Crown colony of British India was divided into two, as a result of negotiations between the British government on the one hand, and the AIML and INC on the other hand, and the AIML got its wish of two Muslim homelands in the west and in the east. It was not a partition of India on the basis of religious majority in various provinces. The Muslim homelands were selected from Muslim-majority provinces of British India, not independent or semi-independent states.
4. Another 500 odd princely states with treaties of alliance with the British Crown were released from their treaty obligations, and the treaty obligations of the British Crown to them were revoked after August 15, 1947; these states were given the option of joining either Pakistan or India thereafter. Independence was not an option.
5. The Crown Colony of India was formed in 1858, when the British Crown took over the old holdings of the East India Company, which was regulated by the British Parliament in large measure.
6. While the British holdings were British India, the rest of the land mass was India; there was also Portuguese India, for instance, and French India. INDIA WAS NOT A TERM USED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE BRITISH, BUT WAS IN GENERAL THE EUROPEAN NAME FOR THE SUB-CONTINENT.
7. The Punjab was independent at times, and subordinate to a larger kingdom at times. For instance, it was part of the Sultanate of Delhi throughout most of the history of the Sultanate, it was part of the Mughal empire throughout the period of the Mughal Empire except for two short spells after the expulsion of Humayun by Sher Shah, and for another spell after the invasion of Nader Shah.
8. It lost its independence to the Marathas, and then to Ahmed Shah Abdali.
9. After remaining part of the reign of Ahmed Shah, it became independent under the Sikhs.
The history of the Punjab was by no means an independent history, but it had spells of independence. This is exactly the same as it was for Bengal, and also for the Dakhin, or the Deccan.
