1971 Bangladesh War is counter point to Pakistan’s two-nation theory based on religion: Indian envoy to Bangladesh

[Cherub786]

so i get it, you would rather chew on pig fat catridge than fight for what you believe in, i don't hold it against you, gulami has led you people to lose half the country and now take loans from one country to pay off another.
if the british did any development in india it was solely for their economic benefit. 51 percent of mughal gdp was contributed by bengal and had similar industries to that of britain before being colonised.

what's keeping imran khan from accepting biharis? he's been in power for fair amount of time.
Zia Rahman himself killed his fellow army officers to stay in power, there is a saying, treat others how you would like to be treated. why don't you talk about ershad... Also a military dictator but people have huge respect for him even though he was a womanizer, no body killed him,,, because he didn't do that to others.

british favored those who benefitted them, y'all lot lived together in mughal india, all of a sudden you need two different countries to live? all british did was divide and rule for their benefit.
like the old ottoman saying goes, whatever pond two fishes are fighting in... the british have been there.

too bad, you don't speak bangla, its definitely a much more better language to write poetry in. no bash agaisnt urdu, i like urdu literature too, but stop being insecure because the your literature hasn't been as recognised as ours

British did divide and rule, for their own selfish interest, but it turned out great for Islam and Muslims. British deliberately encouraged higher religious consciousness among Muslims. They patronized major Madrassahs and conservative religious leaders. They fostered the Muslim League. They were instrumental in ending the toxic religious syncretism of Indian Muslims. This is why I love and appreciate the British colonial rule of India.
Look what happened to Muslim countries when the British were kicked out. In Egypt, Nasser kicked out the British. Nasser was a huge enemy of Islam, he was a secularist authoritarian leftist. When the Iraqis removed the British backed Hashemite monarchy, they too fell under the rule of anti-Islamic secular, socialist and fascist parties like the Baathists before America liberated them in 2003.

The rumor about cartridges being greased with pig fat was totally false, indeed quite laughable. Naive and simple minded Indians of the time actually believed it and a whole destructive mutiny broke out because of such irresponsible rumors.
Bengali Muslims fervently supported the Pakistan movement in the 1940s, as evidenced by Direct Action Day for example. But then they were never quite able to shake off that leftist tendency that seems to be part of their DNA. That seems to be the case with so many peasant societies. Leftist politics is so toxic but so appealing to peasants, they are so susceptible to it. The promise of land reforms, wealth redistribution, greater state control, subsidized food, etc., all of that is economically disastrous but peasants don't understand economics.

By your definition atartuk was great enemy if Islam too but look at turkey. It’s easy to cherry pick shit holes and blame faults on irreligious Muslims or secularist. Muslims are living in slums today because of their own fault.

as for cartridges, there’s evidences to use of lard. Lard can be of beef or pork, you can see why this pissed off both Hindus and Muslims. Synthetic oils weren’t invented until ww2 and then too was limited in numbers

Yes he was a great enemy of Islam. Turkey is doing a lot better under religiously minded Erdogan than any previous government.

Secondly, those who hates Pakistan's two nation theory, must keep such Indian hate out of Forum until & unless some plausible arguments to discuss but then again, see the following finding.
