LOL still thinking that there will be hijrat? In my opinion this means that there will be second partition of India. The concept of union India was always a flawed one. Forcing so many different school of thoughts together was wrong India should have a division to facilitate all ethnicity & religions. Hindus should have their own state & best way to achieve that is by killing the concept of Union.
That is a natural reaction for those of us who think that the Two Nation Theory was sound.
We don't.
We have no problem with your implementing it in your own political state. Please feel free; there may be, there w ill be unruly elements in our political state who mock and jeer this concept for its obvious flaws. In our political state, however, the idea behind our formation as a state and our existence - the nazariya - e - Hind - was of the One Nation. All equal citizens with equal rights (and, a forgotten clause, equal duties). That is our ideal.
We are at peace with the idea that unruly elements in our neighbouring state will mock and jest and jeer at this, just as
@BHarwana has just done in the quoted post, just as every other Pakistani member posting is likely to do (there are exceptions, as honourable as those who post to the script).
It is not your opposition, and it is not your discomfort that bothers anyone of that persuasion in India. It is those among us, who are allowed to hold their political beliefs, even those opposing the concept of the state, due to our commitment to free speech and to freedom to think for ourselves. These elements always believed, with you, in the Two Nation Theory; they evolved it independently of you, through their own parallel tortured primitive thought process.
Unlike your thought process, it did not depend on a narrow vision of humanity. It depended on the perversion of the recent past in the west, where there was a concept of racial difference that was widely passed around. These thoughts and these concepts went into the RSS, and they have held these since the 20s of the last century. They held, through an extension of this thinking, that battling the British colonial rule was futile; India, and Indians, were not 'strong' enough to do that, in the view of the leaders of that intellectual movement, for it never became anything more than that until the others whom they opposed showed comprehensively how wrong this specious idea of Indians not being strong was.
So these people came into Independent India embittered and resentful. India could not have won independence, in their assessment; it was impossible, they thought. A long period of 'strengthening' was needed before any such foolhardy attempts could be made. Their attitude to the Colonial power was slavish and obsequious. They ran down the freedom struggle with sneers and ridicule, and thought of those leaders with the greatest contempt, as of weak leaders leading a weak people. When independence came, they needed to justify their own thinking and their completely foundered vision of what was possible and what was not. That is when, finally, their supine inaction, their gathering in groups to listen to each other spreading pessimism and negative thoughts, their peculiar racist divisions of Indian society into those who had foreign 'loyalties' and those who were prepared to be 'sons (and daughters) of the soil', their writing huge treatises justifying their racism, finally was put off into the back rooms and when these true believers emerged into physical action.
Their first act was to murder an old man. When they were promptly stamped out, they begged and pleaded and grovelled and made promise after false promise until someone made a mistake, and flinched. On being grudgingly reinstated as a legal body of private citizens under the constitution, they spent their time on building a network, and spreading the word among the ignorant poor and rural masses, and among the urban classes who had resented the levelling of all citizens into one category, that of citizen, under the One Nation. This took them forty years, their own forty years in the wilderness. When their targetted groups coalesced into clusters in the cities of north India in the wave of urbanisation that India underwent, they finally found their opportunity, and emerged from winning less than 10% of the seats in the elections to preside as dominant partners in a coalition of the politically isolated who had never tasted power. They did that as the culmination of a sharp, short directed campaign to create an evil other, and there was one ready-made and at hand, and that was the Muslim Indian.
What you see today is the continuation of that process, interrupted by the resistance of the appalled sections who finally realised that these perverted politicians were actually capable of using the freedom given to them by the prevailing constitutional working precisely to undermine the constitution, and to subvert each and every institution of state. The Muslim Indian was the first target; other obvious targets, as large as the Muslim Indian, have been dismissed from their public discourse as in reality being part of themselves, of their coalition, in spite of the obvious fallacies, and the freely available evidence that there was no acceptance of these other segments into their group of the entitled.
Here we stand then, with ignorant, short-sighted and suicidal elements in Pakistan working hard to keep the genie out of the bottle. Those of you who have, throughout the thread, preached that the Two Nation Theory should be accepted and allowed to be a consideration in the public discourse in India have no idea of what they have sat and watched in their smug folly, and they have no idea what they are supporting - a political state that hugely outweighs them, that is numerically larger, that is economically stronger and likely to grow more so, a dominant elite that is ramified abroad, and that is present as a pleasing and prosperous minority, contrasted offensively with their counterparts who are retarded economically and feared and distrusted socially, and the potential to become what India has never been - an existential threat to her neighbour.
What can be done in the face of this irrational behaviour?
