Ask yourself a question. Being an Indian, why do you hate
Pakistan? You might as well be a person who does not. Then why does the
majority of this country do?
Religion, Ethics, culture…? Partition of India during
Independence which claimed thousands of lives….? Terrorists….?
Or have you been taught, fed and educated to do so?
Think of it like this, Pakistan was part of India before the
Partition which happened during the Independence. It was our home land.
In fact, it is a country with beautiful and talented people.
It is known for its exotic landscapes. The only thing to hate about it is the
terrorist groups. Wouldn’t it be unfair to hate Pakistanis when they themselves
are suffering due to these groups?
It is been 60 Years since the Independence. We now have 2
different countries. 2 different communities separated base upon Religion.
Pakistan – Muslims majority and India – Hindu majority.
Is religion a good basis for creating communities?
Doesn’t both the religion say to love each other? Doesn’t
both the religion preach about justice and equality? In the advent being a
Religious person people forgot to be humans in first place.
The All India Muslim League (AIML) had been formed in Dhaka
in 1906 by Muslims who were suspicious of the Hindu-majority “Indian National
Congress”. They complained that Muslim members did not have the same rights as
Hindu members. A number of different scenarios were proposed at various times.
Among the first to make the demand for a separate state was
the writer and philosopher Allama Iqbal, who, in his presidential address to
the 1930 convention of the Muslim League, proposed a separate nation for
Muslims was essential in an otherwise Hindu-dominated Indian subcontinent.
·
- Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders had kept
firm their belief in Hindu-Muslim unity. However, the volatile political
climate and side-lining of Muslims by Indian National Congress showed the
future of the Muslims in the subcontinent not so bright and gave the idea
stronger backing. All Muslim political parties including the parties Khaksar
Tehrik and Allama Mashriqi opposed the partition of India.
-
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar Leader of the party Hindu
Mahasabha. He became a fierce critic of
the Indian National Congress and its acceptance of India's partition, and was
one of those accused in the assassination of Indian leader Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi. He was acquitted as the charges could not be proven.
Despite a huge opposition from various parties on Partition
of India including M.K. Gandhi, public order broke down all across northern
India and Bengal, the pressure increased to seek a political partition of
territories as a way to avoid a full-scale civil war.
It resulted in a struggle between the newly constituted
states of India and Pakistan and displaced up to 12.5 million people with
estimates of loss of life varying from several hundred thousand to a million
(most estimates of the numbers of people who crossed the boundaries between
India and Pakistan in 1947 range between 10 and 12 million).
So, end result - country split in 2. And feeling of hate,
pain, distress and agony seeded in hearts of millions.
It is evident that the cause was Hindu religion. A Hindu
Majority nation was actually responsible to trigger a need for the Minority to
claim for a separate nation. It would not have been their problem until they
were given equal rights. It would not have been their problem until the Hindu
dominant society created the discrimination on religious grounds.
At the leadership
level, the proportion of Muslims among delegates to “Indian National Congress”
fell sharply, from 11% in 1921 to under 4% in 1923.
“Indian National Congress” was formed only for achieving
independence and it featured a number of prominent political figures from both
the religions (Hindu and Muslim). M.K Gandhi and Sardar Patel are said to have
held the view that the INC was formed only for achieving independence and
should have been disbanded in 1947.
In the very name of religion the country experienced riots,
violence, civil wars and rape in large scale. The religious discrimination
which led to communities split, Parties split and finally led to Partition.
Now Why Would You blame Pakistan? Why would you blame
Muslims? You know the country is Majority of Hindus and Minority of Muslims.
Why should there be domination over a community since it is of other religion.
Where we humans in first place?
And then, there is a reason for you to hate. Media showcases
it. The world knows about it. Terrorists
May I ask you, how many terrorists groups are you aware of
before 1947 (Year of Independence)?
Since Partition, with the riots and killings between the two
religious communities, India and Pakistan have struggled to maintain normal
relations. One of the biggest debates occurs over the disputed region of Kashmir, over
which there have been three wars, and the reasons for the wars have related
only to the confusion over partition. There have been four Indo-Pakistani wars
till date. 1947, 1965, 1971 and one in 1999.
The Population of Pakistan has increased from ~45M in 1960
to ~180M till date.
The Population of India has increased from ~447M in 1960 to
~1210M till date.
Needless to compare the Defense forces and its strength
between the two. Needless to say who would win a full scale war. With the
constant community dispute and Kashmir dispute on, the country running with
very low Defense forces will only produce what you call Terrorists.
According to the author Daniel Byman, "Pakistan is
probably today's most active sponsor of terrorism." writing in an article
published by The Australian stated, "following the terror massacres in
Mumbai, Pakistan may now be the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
It is a treat to the society. The cause of the treat is not
Pakistan, but the ones who SPLIT it as Pakistan.
It is only by this realization the terrorism against India can be reduced. It was India’s fault.
We have little or no right to point fingers on anyone else but ourselves.
WAKING UP FROM THE
FALSE LIGHT:-
It is been 60 Years and still the fight is on. We are
Humans. Humans are prone to make mistakes. We made a huge mistake by Partition
of India.
After 60 years waste of time, Money on weapons and many
lives isn’t it time to think of getting back the together? Wouldn’t this
reunion be a lesson to the whole world?
You are not nurtured to think this direction. You know why?
POLITICIANS.
Every government rule which takes power will only teach you
to hate Pakistan. They gain your vote by putting hate against Pakistan
featuring them as “enemies”.
This is because “WAR IS BUSINESS”. Where the profits are in
Money and losses are in Lives. Human Lives.
DOING YOUR PART:
It’s time to stop putting hate against Pakistan in the
hearts of our future generation. Every new kid being born in this Nation, the
eager young minds of the future will NOT HATE PAKISTAN. It is in your hands.!!!
