Meaning of Pak in Pakistan!
by Raj Bhardwaj on Apr 12, 2007 05:04 PM   Permalink

The media and fake-secularists in India are hiding the the fact about the original meaning of Pak in Pakistan: "Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir". Changing the meaning to "pure" was an afterthought. If any one of you readers is in doubt, just do a Google for
PAKISTAN Rehmat Ali
I give below an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"On January 28, 1933, [Rehmar Ali] voiced his ideas in the pamphlet entitled "Now or Never; Are we to live or perish forever?"[2]. The word 'Pakstan' referred to "the five Northern units of India, Viz: Punjab, North-West Frontier Province (Afghan Province), Kashmir, Sind and Baluchistan"[2]. By the end of 1933, 'Pakistan' become common vocabulary where an I was added to ease pronouncement (as in Afghan-i-stan).[3] In a subsequent book Rehmat Ali discussed the etymology in further detail.[4]"
If you are an Indian, you should be disgusted with these fake-secularists.
