Thank you for your kind words, logic and reason is simplicity personified. There are far too many Pakistanis here who try to sound clever but do not recognise 2+2 of worldly logic. There is a criminal habit among Pakistanis to view events in a singular format, they form opinions based on a particular event without taking into account other factors, the realities of the time, how other countries behave and so on. I try to keep it simple, it seems to work for me.
By recognising partition in our vocabulary we have given weight to a "historical" India, words matter because with their use you build an image and a realty in your mind, it matters not if it is real, it becomes real once it is accepted. Using the word "partition" among other things, we have weakened ourselves, but it is our intellectuals who are to blame because they have not offered a counter to the fantasy of "Bharat Mata".
Jinnah's religiosity is another thing people fight over and yet have failed to understand, one does not need to pray, not drink or any other practical religious steps to be Muslim, one does not need to step inside a mosque, have sex outside of marriage every day of their lives whilst drinking alcohol and eating pork and they will still be Muslims, it is extremely stupid to claim otherwise. Because the only thing required to be a Muslim is the belief in God and his book, with the finality of the prophet thrown in for good measure. Rest is between him/her and Allah.
Creating an effective and beautiful argument matters, because it sticks and it is hard to counter, for a creative argument one has to be honest with oneself first.
India is nothing more than a fantasy, forget the maps and everything else, it requires no proof, it has not been questioned thus far, but I love the fact I have come across Pakistanis for the first time in my life, here on PDF who are questioning. The existence of India is wrong on so many levels, although I support the unity of India right now lol, baring Kashmir. I dread to think what a world would look like with China as a superpower and only minnows to contend with, it will not be a pretty picture i can assure you.
I'm sure I've seen your pictures, you do not look old enough to have travelled around Europe in the 1980s, you are doing rather well, well done. I must admit to slight jealously at your travel history, I never get jealous except when it comes to travel, well less jealous, more awed by anyone who manages to travel well, I think it is a respectable pursuit. Stay blessed.
