And stop twisting history. Pakistan was created for emancipated Muslims from the legacy of British Raj
Yeah..keep telling yourself that. As if the common Muslim people had any idea what is going on.
Pakistan was created mainly to appease the elites and landlords within Muslim society who simply could not take the idea that they will have to compete on a common ground, no preferential treatments.
Do you have a proper understanding of the history of that time ? What support did Muslim League have ? In 1937 Provincial elections, AIML could not even win 2 seats in Punjab, and none in NWFP. They face a total whitewash against Congress, and in 1940, you have Lahore Resolution. Do you know who paid for all the expenses in Lahore Resolution meeting. A landlord, Sir Shah Nawaz Khan of Mamlot, no surprise there.
Irony, about a third of the total number seats won by Muslim League were in Bengal. But, when Pakistan was eventually created, Bengal got categorically sidelined by Punjabis, where there was no support for Muslim League at all among general public. That tells us in lengths and volumes about who were running the show, some elite group or the common people. The reality has not changed much even after 67 years.
A country created by feudal lords to protect their assets, to give them a superior ground, a place where they don't have to face the discomfort of being treated as equal. Again, that is one of the reasons that land reforms never really took place in Pakistan, while in India, that was one of the first things that Nehru did.
And no, they don't teach you these in school text books here. But the history is freely available in hundreds of books. So, Mr. Think Tank, start rolling and pick up a book.
One of my teachers back in school, once quoted the eminent Bengali writer, Syed Mustafa Siraj, "Nobody has ever gone bankrupt by buying books". Let me assure you, both my teacher and the writer are right.
I guess the Sauds were faster than the Pakistanis...And that's India's fault..she kept Pakistan distracted
Saudis took advantage of time being an uncontrolled vector!!
Edit : Ok..
@Ceylal Let me explain that..I meant Saudis had Islam long before Pakistanis had Pakistan..So you see, they started earlier..
