"Jinnah did not even wanted Pakistan"... Look at the consistent imbecility.

According to Maulana Azad Jinnah did not even wanted Pakistan but wanted to use that "Concept" as a bargaining tool with congress. But once the tension between Muslims and Hindus started, it gotten out of hand.


People who seen Jinnah up close tend to agree with the secular narrative. Jinnah himself disliked Islamic scholars and according to reports did not reflect Islamic ideology in his personal life. However history will not remember him as a brilliant lawyer or orator but the man who founded Pakistan. Sometime leaders take people to a certain event like creation of a new country. In this case the people took Jinnah to his "Concept".


Noted Pakistani-American scholar Akbar Ahmed wrote a book on this topic and his research says that, though Jinnah was clearly interested in ensuring a homeland for Muslims, Ahmed's book makes clear that this London-trained lawyer was no Islamic fundamentalist. 

After reading this book a Hindu readers said, "First of all: I am a hindu. Even today it is painfull for me to see that our Mother India is divided. I used to detest Mr. Jinnah, like most other hindus. However, I reached a point when I realised that I had only read the hindu version of South Asian history. I needed to view our history through the eyes of a muslim. Jinnah cannot be blamed for his security measure i.e. his decision to demand a separate muslim state. Had the Congress treated Jinnah in a more civilized manner, Pakistan could have been avoided. But Nehru, clinging to his illusions, viewing himself as the new "Kaiser-E-Hind" did not make room for people who would threaten his position in the Congress Party. Just as he squeezed Netaji Bose out of the leadership, he saw to that Jinnah was shoved into to the darkness as well. I regret the creation of Pakistan, as would Jinnah. But one should not ignore the fact that Jinnah was the greatest Indian politician of the twentieth century. I don't agree with Mr. Akbar Ahmed on all issues, but there is no doubt that he has done a magnificent job. I really enjoyed the book."


Lot of chaos followed the creation of Pakistan and those events indicates authenticity of the narrative that, Jinnah himself was interested to have a safe place for Muslims but he was not terribly interested in establishing Islam in Pakistan. However that "Unique" vision did not sustain very long. We know populist politicians used Islam in Pakistani politics without actually following tenets of Islam. Afghan war added new complexity in Pakistani politics and Since that time Pakistan continued to use "Islam" as a label but was not able to establish very many "Islamic ideals" in that country.


Within days Pakistan is about to attempt a democratic transfer of power for the first time in it's history. My sincere hope that, democracy grows roots in Pakistani politics. If it can achieve political stability, it will have a positive impact in the whole region.


Shalom!

Jinnah was much more secular than any other Islamist autocrats came after him. They all hated him for that. He deserves much more credit than was given to him; his ideals would have made Pakistan a much better country than it is today.  What could have been the national language of Pakistan, other than Urdu? Hindi is the national language of India, but – each state has own language for national affairs. I don't see your point.   Jiten Roy --- On Sun, 5/5/13, Sukhamaya Bain <subain1@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Sukhamaya Bain <subain1@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [mukto-mona] Shame on us that today pakistan is being sourced out, because we are unable to run the country.....ishrat Tender for running Pakistan Vaqar Ahmed Tender No. GOP 2013/193CTR/PTL/TEN/420 Tender Notice for Ru To: "mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com" <mukto-mona@yahoogroups.com> Date: Sunday, May 5, 2013, 6:18 PM   Jinnah's only ideology was probably to make himself the supreme leader of Pakistan. Please stop giving him undue credits. His secular credential has been way overblown. If he wanted a secular Pakistan, he could not have worked with religious hate-mongers to accomplish that. He was not a democrat, he was an aristocrat. If he had much respect for democracy, he could not have insisted on Urdu to be the national language of Pakistan.

The rest is history.

Country Background: It is generally believed that Pakistan was created for the Muslims of India. However, there is still debate in the country regarding the ideology of Pakistan. Some say that Pakistan came into being so unexpectedly that no one had the time to define its ideology. The state of Pakistan can be categorised as one of the following (or any combination thereof): Islamic Secular Democratic Autocratic Militaristic Autistic Since the creation of Pakistan, following governments have been in place: 1947 – 1948 Mohammed Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan was the first head of the state. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1948. 1948 – 1958 During this period 10 governments came and went. During this time a prime minister was assassinated and another exiled. 1958 – 1968 First Military coup and Martial law. The new Chief Martial Law Administrator and later President and Field Marshal, Mohammed Ayub Khan, ruled for ten years. People got sick and tired of dictatorship and went out in the streets calling the gentleman-soldier a dog. This broke his heart and he resigned. He was a decent sort of a chap who enriched only his own family and in return built many dams and a new city. He also authored a book titled "Friends and Masters". Following the poor performance of the subsequent governments, he is today remembered as a Saint. 1971  The job of running the country became easier as the enslaved half of the country was freed through the goodwill and humanitarianism of the Pakistan military. The freed slaves made their own country called Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh proved to be very ungrateful and now refuse to play cricket with Pakistan. 1972 – 1977 A young Oxford educated feudal Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto became the Chief Martial Law Administrator and then the Prime Minister. His main strength was his fiery speeches in good English and bad Urdu. He was such a good Muslim that he accepted all the key demands of the clerics like declaring the Ahmedis non-Muslims and banning alcohol. Being a man of conscience he started drinking heavily to lessen the pain of taking such horrid decisions. He also wisely purged all the left wing troublemakers in his party and replaced them with solid, reliable and wise men from the feudal class. 1977 – 1987 Mr. Bhutto's top general Zia-ul-Haq did not see eye to eye with Mr. Bhutto. One part of the reason was that he was squint eyed and the second that he did not think that Mr. Bhutto was Islamic enough. So he did "Istikhara" (requesting guidance from God) and after receiving permission deposed the Prime Minister in a coup. He announced that elections would take place in 90 days. However, the people were so pleased with the General that they beseeched him to stay. Being a true democrat the General could not turn down the request of the masses and decided to stay on to serve them. Just to make sure that he could serve the people with his full attention he declared that the pesky Mr. Bhutto had hanged himself in a fierce police encounter. Being a very hospitable man, he invited all the Muslim Afghan brethren to live in Pakistan. He also helped them fight the infidels from Russia. He had a rich uncle named Sam who provided the required finances. This pious man would be still in power if it were not for his love of mangoes. He filled up his plane with so many crates of mangoes that it crashed due to the excessive weight. Many in Pakistan were deeply saddened by the loss of such good mangoes. 1988 – 2013 The period from 1947 to 1988 was a game of musical chairs and no one remembers who came and who went and where and why. It is not clear who is running the affairs of Pakistan; in an opinion poll majority felt that it was God.
