Jinnah
by Vivek Gupta on Jun 14, 2005 04:05 AM

Well, your article was full of air and no substance. Written just for the sake of writing something. One does not need to know the whole history of Jinnah to conclude that he was "not secular". The simple fact is this, if a man can ask for division of one multicultural country , it will require a great degree of suspension of disbelief to consider him a secular. How and why he turned from a secular to non-secular is irrelevant. The fact is, he became a fundamentalist and remained so till his death. Comparing Gandhi and Jinnah is simply stupid. Gandhi never championed a hindu rashtra and went to great length to avoid partition unlike Jinnah who was more than happy to see the bloodshed in order to realise his own political ambitions.
