NOTE: This blog is not intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments, but rather to share truths that many people may avoid discussing. If you are a Pakistani or Indian Muslim, I want to caution you that this blog post may be difficult to digest. Please proceed only if you are interested in reading brutal facts without political correctness.
Western narratives often selectively address historical events, particularly those where they hold a stake. Instances that portray them or their allies unfavorably are either downplayed or altogether ignored. One such event is the partition of India, a historical moment when a country was carved based on the intersections of religion, politics, and delusions.
In this blog post, I will delve into the intricacies of the infamous incident of the division of Bharat and the creation of two Pakistans on each side, exploring how politics, faith, and delusions played pivotal roles in the creation of this nation.
Now, without further ado, let’s delve into the exploration of the three pivotal factors that played a major role in the creation of Pakistan.
The Role of Politics and Politicians in the Creation of Pakistan
In the intricate tale of Pakistan’s inception, numerous political figures played vital roles, yet the spotlight gleamed brightest on Allama Iqbal and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Iqbal, among the pioneers demanding a separate nation for Muslims, is hailed as a visionary and esteemed figure in the Indian and pakistan so-called intellectual arena. Meanwhile, in Pakistan, he is revered as the spiritual father of the nation. His poem ‘Tarana-e-Milli’ serves as a testament to his radical Islamist mindset, encapsulated in the following lines:
“Chin o Arab hamara, Hindustan hamara, Muslim hain hum, watan hai sara jahaan hamara” (China and Arabia are ours; Hindustan (India) is ours. We are Muslims, and the whole world is ours).
In the beliefs of certain Muslims from the Indian subcontinent, there’s a notion that only they will enter paradise, and in this worldly realm, they lay claim to lands like China, Arabia, and India. It’s as if non-Muslims have no rights to any territory, neither in this life nor in the afterlife as envisioned by those who adhere strictly to Islamic doctrine.
Let’s go back to the politics of that time. Politicians of the Muslim League and Iqbal held a deep admiration for the Islamic invaders of India, considering them as theirs and the ancestors of Indian Muslims. However, this perspective, much like the notion of a liberal being inherently logical and sensible, may be contentious. Iqbal’s and his fellow friends’ aspiration was to see the entirety of India transformed into an Islamic state. You can understand this by watching the video below.
Yet, faced with unfavourable demographics, he and his fellow Islamist politicians couldn’t realize this dream of converting the whole of India into an Islamic country. Enter Jinnah, who, through strategic use of riots, violence, and ethnic cleansing, particularly in areas with a substantial Muslim population, such as the Nokha Khali riots and the Mopla Hindu massacre, advanced the cause of partition. Driven by the typical political hunger for power, they successfully leveraged violence, division, and the narrative of victimhood to create Pakistan, with the assistance of the British.
The Role of Faith in the Creation of Pakistan
When I speak of faith, I refer to the religion of Islam, known for its divisive and, at times, violent nature. The evidence seems apparent as Islam unfolds, leaving a trail of violence and division wherever it takes root. A notable instance is the impact on European countries that welcomed refugees; the social fabric of these nations experienced upheaval.
In the UK, certain regions witness a growing Muslim population, with voices clamoring for Sharia law and, in extreme cases, advocating for a separate state. The irony unfolds as the UK, a key player in the partition of India, now faces the possibility of experiencing similar challenges—a new partition based on religion, thanks to the influence of Islam.
Islam’s fundamental belief in the exclusivity of its god and messenger, categorizing others as kaffirs (non-believers), underlines its uncompromising stance. The ideology extends to a conviction that those outside Islam must either convert or accept the status of dimmi (second-class citizens). In the modern world, the concept of dimmi is impractical, leading to the pursuit of creating new nations. Even Islam struggles to coexist harmoniously with other Abrahamic faiths like Christianity and Judaism. The best example is Israel, where the desire to establish a separate state for Muslims is very high.
The irony lies in the fact that Pakistan was created to offer Muslims a better future and opportunities they wouldn’t find in Bharat, which is deemed the land of Kafirs. However, what it was created for hasn’t led to the envisioned success. On the contrary, Indian Muslims have better opportunities, facilities, government, laws, culture, and freedom than they have ever found in Pakistan. But sadly, the fact remains that there are many Indian Muslims who prioritize Islam first, think like Jinnah, and harbor hatred towards their own Hindu ancestors and their Matra bhumi (motherland) Bharat.
When asked whether they prioritize Islam or Pakistan, many Pakistani citizens assert their allegiance to Islam first. However, this very prioritization seems to underlie many of Pakistan’s challenges and its current state of chaos.
As everyone involved in the partition, from regular folks to politicians, strongly believed in Islam, it gives us a peek into why the split of India happened and Pakistan was created. It makes us think about whether any religion can peacefully live with Islam.
The Role of Delusions in the Creation of Pakistan
The persistent delusion among Muslims, perceiving their religion as the sole truth, often blinds them to the historical reality of forced conversions by Islamic invaders across countries like Indonesia, India Iran, Persia, Iraq, and Egypt. Despite events like 9/11, 26/11, and bombings by jihadis worldwide, or the recent assassination attempt on Salman Rushdie, some Muslims still feel like victims.
During the partition of India, Indian Muslims nurtured a misguided perspective, viewing Hindus as enemies (‘kaffirs’) intending to dismantle their religion—a stark contrast to the actual situation. Despite instigating significant riots and massacres, they projected themselves as victims of violence. This skewed outlook, venerating Islamic invaders as ancestors and applauding oppressive rulers, fueled the delusions that eventually led to the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan. I will discuss this delusion in one of my future blogs and tell you why it is there in detail.
Closing lines
These are the main reasons behind the creation of Pakistan. I haven’t delved into each point in detail, as it would make the article lengthy and complex, possibly challenging to grasp. Perhaps, in a future blog or article, I’ll explore each aspect more thoroughly.
Thank you so much for reading the blog post. If you enjoyed it, please share it with your family and friends. If this blog has caused any discomfort, I want to apologize. That was not my intention. My aim was to speak the truth about my country and ancestors, which includes yours too if you are a Muslim from the Indian subcontinent.
