"How ironic that Quaid's grandchildren are successful business people in Bombay, not in Pakistan, and openly converted to other religions. Would either be possible in the country that he so proudly created? Why not? That is is the real though-provoking part."
You cannot conflate the idea of today's Pakistan with that of what Mr.Jinnah aspired it to be.He was merely the architect and unfortunately for the country and its people, didn't stick around long enough to implement the idea. Those that followed had no ones benefit close to heart but their own. The feudal elite took over and proceeded to defecate all over the idea of a country where justice, equality and freedom of choice reigns supreme. Pakistan of today is a distortion of the country it could've been and it has a lot to do with how it was governed by inept leadership. And convert to Zoroastrianism? You are surely having a laugh because we're discussing the populace of a country where many call shias (kafir). Theres is no freedom of choice man, theres only
danda, and as they say back home,
jiski laathi (read
danda), uski bhains.

Happy Birthday Jinnah, the country could've used a couple of more years of you being around.
