If Pakistan wasn't created, we would be in a 10× FAR worst state than the Palestinians are, that's for sure.

Instead of 60% worse?
How many are willing to remember the early hopes that the division of the subcontinent would be merely temporary, that India would re-unite as after partition inter-religious strife would naturally die down? Of course, the leaders of Pakistan (at least) had different plans: strife was to be stoked, maintained, and expanded on the borders and fomented within India itself to secure power and stolen property for themselves.

Erhhh, NO THANK YOU. We need a nation for those of our race, culture and heritage.

Pakistanis are all one race? This attitude validates the concern of Pakistani minorities that the country isn't run for their benefit but the usual Pujabi-Sindhi cliques, don't you agree?

We CANNOT be something we are NOT.

You and I have discussed how Pakistanis despise un-learning things.

The Bengali episode you can blame on that sell out Bhutto Clan cause of him relations were poisoned. Him and his dynastic mindset being on record saying him and his family will rule Pakistan.

I would rather have Zayed and Abu Jahil than any Bhutto as a citizen and/or friend, may he become the coal for hellfire in the after life.

and history is repeating itself!

in 71 bhutto was protected by faujis and 2021 bhuttos/zardaris are protected by faujis and future doesnt look good for Pakistan!

Whatever the different races and ethnicities that make up Pakistan are, they are by and large not indigenous or found in modern day india.


What "unlearning" are you talking about? Are you making up more lies and fantasies with 0 evidence again?.........

Is the refusal-to-unlearn thing really something to laugh about?

Refusing to un-learn what exactly? Rather than trying to divert provide GENUINE evidence to support your claims.

Even though Muslim League and Congress were against the Government of India Act 1935, yet it was implemented in the winter of 1937. Now, what lay before them was the task of persuading their concerned masses to support them in the upcoming elections. But Muslim League, which stood for separate electorates, was unfortunately divided in several factions owing to personal and ideological differences. Congress, on the other hand, was raising slogans of joint electorates. Congress also wanted Hindi to be declared as the official language in the Deva Nagri script, while Muslims were in favour of Urdu in Persian script to be officially declared as the national language of the Indian sub-continent.



The result of elections came as a huge shock to both the parties. Congress, who claimed to be representing 95% of the total Indian population, could not even secure 40% of the seats. It won almost 750 seats out of 1,771 in 8 out of 11 provinces. Its success was restricted to Hindu-majority provinces only. As for the results for the Muslim League, they were greatly disappointing. Out of 491 Muslim seats, it could only capture 106 and 26 of them were taken by Congress. Hence, the final success of the elections was named in the favour of Congress, which gained majority in Bihar, Orissa, Madras and U.P and other regions.



The Congress didn’t set up ministries for about four months demanding British government to not interfere in its legislative affairs. Discussions between them took place, and at last, the British agreed without making any formal amendment to the Government of India Act 1935. As a result of which, Congress ministries were formed in July 1937 but with bitter policy against Muslims: Hindi became the national language, Congress flag became the national flag, and Bande Matram became the national anthem. A strict prohibition was laid on cow slaughter and singing of Bande Matram, taken from the novel of Chandra Chatterji, was started in schools. Construction of new mosques was banned and Muslims were harassed while they offered prayers.



Twenty-seven months of Congress rule were characterized by rising political Hinduism, which seemed to be working only for the welfare of Hindu community and revenging the previous 700-year Muslim rule over them, as stated by some Congress leaders. Educational reforms were introduced that were purely anti-Muslim in spirit. The purpose of Warda Taleemi Scheme was to displace the idea of two nation theory from minds of Muslim children, while Vidya Mandar Scheme aimed at promoting Hindu culture by making Mandar education necessary at elementary level. Muslims were also kept back in economic circle. They were expelled from government offices and career opportunities were closed for them. Their trade and agriculture was a target of Hindu’s harm, and they couldn’t appeal justice which already had Hindu imprints upon it. As a result, and to nobody’s surprise but huge dismay, massive Hindu-Muslim riots took place.



Several reports such as “Pirpur Report”, “Muslim Sufferings under Congress Rule”, and “The Sharif Report” were issued by Muslims leaders to give word and voice to the injustice and cruelty they were receiving under Congress reign, and they found expression in newspapers.



When World War II started in 1939, the British were fighting against the Axis Powers. The Viceroy of India announced India’s involvement without consulting its representative political leaders. Congress asked for transfer of power in repayment of their cooperation in war, which the British government denied. As a result, Congress ministries resigned. Thus came to an end the nightmarish rule which had terrorized Muslim community beyond imagination. Quaid-i-Azam asked the Muslims to observe it as a ‘Day of Deliverance’ with peace and without any harmful intent towards any other nation. Prayers of thanksgiving and gratitude were offered and Muslims took a sigh of relief from the atrocities committed against them in the two-year Congress rule.

All this is rubbish. 1937 elections were for the provinces and NOT the centre which remained under British Raj control. If your talking about the provinces that went on to make Pakistan the Congress did NOT rule any of them. It got some seats in NWFP sans Tribal, Chitral, Swat areas but was dwarfed by independants who won 24 seats against 19.

This is how the map looked like in 1937. Punjab had Unionist Party rule headed by Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan and Sindh was ruled by llah Bux Soomro with Shahnawaz Bhutto, Abdullah Haroon and GM Syed playing significant roles.

So can somebody tell me how any of the rubbish mentioned here was foisted on the provinces and peoples of Pakistan when Congress did not EVEN hold power.

Yes, it may have done such things in Bihar, UP, Assam etc but it still holds sway over them today as part of India.

@PAKISTANFOREVER @Solomon2 the red is Uniyed Party, red Unionist Party and light ble is Congress. As you can see Congress did NOT rule any of the Pakistan provinces.

It would help if they could get genuine and solid proof rather than fabrications, lies and propaganda...........

PROOF is something that convinces.

EVIDENCE are facts that are used to prove or disprove issues. Whether evidence is proof may be up to the judge, but if one party presents evidence then the burden of going forward and disproving it is up to the other party.

So the fallacy in your approach, PF, is that because you are not defining what you accept as proof ahead of time you are in effect acting as both judge and defendant: you can always say, no matter what evidence is presented, that there is no "proof".

You may want to re-write this. To employ the phrase "in other words" properly, it has to repeat what is said earlier in a simpler way. Either you are misusing the phrase here or confessing the truth of my previous comment.

Rather than engaging with meaningless conjectures, why don't you post some links to ANY sort of evidence that even REMOTELY supports your initial claims?
