Quite frankly India should have never been divided, two nation theory was fundamentally wrong, British were succeeded againg in dividing the country. Gandhi and in particular Nehru failed to realize the gravity of the situation, they should have let the Jinna become the first prime minister of India but no the self interest of Nehru didn't let it happen (The reasoning given to Jinnah was because in India the majority is hindu and they wouldn't accept a muslim PM, which lead Jinna to creat Pakistan with the help of british otherwise he was the most secular muslim of his time). The division was wrong territorially too, why a 95 percent muslim populated land (Kashmir) didn't go to pakistan, and the majority of more productive punjab land was given to pakistan. Again a stupid reasoning is given because the Kashmir was ruled by hindu raja and he didn't want to go to pakistan is all bullshit than from that point of view Andhra was Nizam territory and the whole india was Mughal territory before british should have gone to Pakistan.

Sameer u r saying that Jinnah could have been chosen as first PM rather than nehru.Why could jinnah not digest Nehru as PM now this tells who was more power hungry.Why then jinnah wanted separate state as pakistan if he was that secular.

Sameer Joshi I am from Pakistan,what u wrote is true and it seems u have read history from unbaised sources. What Jinnah wanted was separate electrolate, he played the card for separate land if demands not met! Nehru(wanting to be a dynasty and u can see till today) and Gandhi takin religion into politics,made it possible that muslim league was atrue representative of muslims! and what happened next was division. Jinnah was a secular person(even he wasnt a saint)and no one wanted separation(read S M Seervai a lawyer of india) book apart from Nehru whjo just wanted all! Regarding kashmir,what the writer wrote is such a bullshit that it made me laugh!95% population in 1947 wanted top go india? would u believe it? and Hari Singh signs the accession with india and next day troops are in valley such great performance,it meant india was ready!!and pak sent troops and mujahids meant pak govt was so organised! its a hotch potch of politics!u rightly said abt Nizam, there was on Junagadh whos nizam went for pakistan with 95% hindu population!both of these places rule of raja wasnt applied just kashmir was the place where rule of raja was applied!Ferozpur had 97% muslim population and biggest cantonment,was given to india!!!which made it possible for indian troops movement into kashmir,all routes to kashmir by road were from pak side!india cud only airlift troops!now tell me whos gonna buy the story? LEGALLY india part? its not its still disputed in UN

To hell with you Pakis. Kashmir is ours and you must not dare look at it. We are one of the Super powers and where do you guys stand today. You are into terrorism and hatred so please stay there any we all know that your country doesn't allow free press.
You backward guys dont have internet or your own media -- so back off and stay in your own sites.
