when Nehru got stoned in Frontier

[Fledgingwings]

Whatever both were,the fact is they lost to what they fought against.PAKISTAN.

Why than we have suddenly Bacha Khan University, Bacha Khan airport, Bacha Khan underpass, Bacha Khan hospital, Bacha Khan... and all in NWFP?



May be they didn't like presence of fagot, on their land!

"At Wana, Ahmadzai Wazirs refused to meet him, and debagged the suited and booted Hindus who went to visit him. Abdul Ghaffar Khan, who, together with Dr. Khan Sahib accompanied Nehru throughout the trip, spoke scathingly of the British officers in Waziristan, calling them 'suave and cunning'. He attributed the docility of tribesmen to the allowances given to them by the British. Nehru journeyed onto Tank and Jandola, where he met some of the smaller tribes. 'Here the tribesmen received us warmly and brought black sheep to present us', noted Ghaffar khan. Back in Peshawar, Nehru's next stop was Khyber pass, but the Afridis refused to grant usual tribal protection and the recently reconstituted Khyber Rifles were called in to protect the party against sniping and stone throwing. After tea in Torkham, they returned to Peshawar without meeting a single Afridi.[2]"

no wonder kashmiri and pashtuns have love-hate relationship.

Nehru was not visiting these tribesmen with any hostile intention so one wonders why they reacted like that?, so much so that the tribesmen forgot the core element of their life style i.e hospitality. These tribesmen (Wazirs, Mehsuds, Afridis etc) give hospitality even to criminals and murderers. So i think these tribesmen were paid to maltreat Nehru.

Poor fraud is not even buried in his ancestral land.

He was one of those very few prominent Muslim Politicians who served long prison sentences for their anti-British stance before independence. He was a man true to his own principles who spent more than 30 years of his life in jail (before and after independence). He was named an "Amnesty International Prisoner of the Year"(1962). Amnesty's statement about him said, "His example symbolizes the suffering of upward of a million people all over the world who are prisoners of conscience". He was nominated for Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. We may disagree with his political views but calling him "Fraud" would be a gross injustice to the legacy of the man.

Well he was a fraud. A fraud who was more congressi than Gandhi and more Afghani than Zahir Shah.

 

[Mian Babban]

.... more Afghani than Zahir Shah.

Well he was an Afghan, 'Fakhr-i-Afghan'

 

[Jaanbaz]

He was a Pushtun Nationalist, we may disagree with him but there is no reason to call him fraud. Anyway he failed to achieve his goals and is not even buried in Pakistan.

The so called Pushtoon nationalist was an as$ licker of Congress. Some pushtoon nationalism that is.

 

[Jaanbaz]

was an as$ licker of Congress.

Can't disagree with you there.

 

[Areesh]

Well he was an Afghan, 'Fakhr-i-Afghan'

And he was a Sharam e Pakistan

 

[Mian Babban]

And he was a Sharam e Pakistan

Due to?

 

[Areesh]

Due to?

Because of being a fakhr e something other than Pakistan.

 

[Mian Babban]

He was very benign after creation of Pakistan till his death. You should not be so angry at him at all. It would have been understandable if you had such sentiment about his brother or his son, but he himself was a humble and harmless person.

Being benign won't hide the contradictions in his character and his hate for newly created state of Pakistan
