<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->can u imagine an India with both pakistan and bangladesh? Would india have seen even this relative "peace" of the last 50 years? We only fought 4 big wars and about 20 years of militancy in about quarter of india's territories.
If gandhi was father of india's independence from the british, jinnah is father of india's prosperity. had it not been for jinnah's long term thinking, we would still be pulled down by larger population of muslims (although gandhi offered Prime minister post to jinnah, jinnah wondered what would happen after he and gandhi died. he knew he was dying soon of cancer anyway) <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Wouldn't it be preferable to have had an full scale civil war and winner takes all instead of the slow secular death we are dying today, in my study of history I have not seen another nation which acted as dumb as we did, why did we have partition in the first place if the population exchange was only going to be a one way street?
Today we are told that we don't accept the 2 nation theory then why did we concede partition (built on this premise) in the first place, if we were really serious about not accepting it then we would have fought to keep India united, but we agreed to partition but still make absurd claims of brotherhood.
Tomorrow we will have another partition and then these secularists will come settle down in the remaining chunk we have left and begin fighting against the dreaded Hindu communalists all over again.
All Communists should have been deported to Pakistan since they supported partition but now claim that they didn't.
