A great article full of truths! The idea behind Pakistan’s formation is that they are “PAK” or clean-hearted”, hence the name Pakistan. So yes the writer is perfectly right that Pakistan is created with the base thinking of converting the all the dirty-minded polytheist Hindus to Muslims. That is a suicidal idealism really. But it is to be noted that this idealism has failed as per historical facts. By God’s grace Sikhism started in the 15th century whose warriors were enough to defeat the Muslim hegemony through Ranjit Singh and there was no need for Hindus to even fight. After independence, there are four full-fledged wars between India and Pakistan if the localized war 1999 Kargil war is not considered. The number of days for the wars of 1948, 1965, 1971 and 2025 to end is 435, 49, 13, and 4 respectively. So probably the any next war will end in a matter of hours probably. And in almost all wars it ended with Pakistan loosing much more than what India lost. And so in the next war Pakistan probably will cease to exist. In any case, Hinduism being polytheistic is tolerant enough to live side by side with Muslims. Muslims have to learn that.
That Pakistan needs to shed its antagonistic attitude towards India is unquestionable. But looking at how the article has forgotten the fact that, as a modern nation, we have fought Pakistan successfully in the past and tries to project it as if we have have done so only now, shows that the writer is from the right wing camp. The pseudonym is such a give away too
Another interesting article, but forget Pakistan, let us try to focus on the Indian Muslims at home. Yes, the Islamic religion in both India and Pakistan needs reformation. Before we even talk about Pakistan, we need to focus on Indian Muslims. Islam hates polytheism, there is no other way to put it. I remember reading parts of the Koran (many, many years ago) and was appalled that it does not like polytheists, considers its version of “Abrahamism” to be the “purest” (despite the fact that Judaism and Christianity predate Islam by many, many years, centuries even). All religions are imperfect, let me include Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and its allied religions and of course, Islam. Unlike Islam, other religions/sects/faiths are learning to adopt themselves to the modern world and are even acknowledging their mistakes. Any argument, even if it is to the point and non-offensive against Islam, would result in death threats or worse still, heads rolling. Yes, Ghazwa-e-Hind does not appear in the Koran, but that did not stop the Mughals from doing their very best (or worst) from trying to destroy Hinduism as much as possible. How many Muslims are even talking about these problematic verses with their kids, family and relatives? Can we have a decent argument about it and survive to tell it? While one can have a loud and aggressive and even an abusive discussion about problematic verses in the Holy books of any other religion, Islam does not even allow even a decent and nuanced discussion about the problematic verses in the Koran. Don’t get me wrong, your article is up to the mark and makes valid points, but these points would not matter to any Muslim who thinks that polytheists should be killed. Once again, a well written article.
Interesting read with some errors, if I may. As the author has deduced correctly, Pakistan was a country based on ideas or ideals that had no positive intent. Also, the inability to think logically has plagued the community from the start.
Spain too had massive conversions. The Christian push back led to reconversions on a grand scale. Also, Muslim hegemony in India effectively ended with death of Aurangzeb in 1707. The Mughals had no real authority after that and it all ended in a rush in 1857. Hindu Kingdoms fought back vigorously right from 711 CE. In fact in 740 CE Arab armies from Damascus were decimated leading to the collapse of the Ummayud caliphate.
Why should a nation be based on differences and hate? Can’t we do better? These are questions all of us should mull over.
Pakistani Punjabis are fallen and converted kshatriya, who are now hating their own brethren who still follow their ancestral religion. We need a Parashuram, to defeat this evil. The Pauranic Parashuram did exactly the same thing.

A brilliant article addressing the root cause

The elephant in the room is, of course, can such an Islam even exist, given everything the Holy Book has to say about polytheists and idolators?
