happenings in pakistan
by hanek singh on Nov 06, 2007 06:53 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

what is currently happening in pakistan or has happened in last 60 years is nothing surprising . it was bound to happen, since pakistan was born in sin and at the killing fields that were created in 1947 . interestingly mohd iqbal was 2 nd generation convert . his grand father a kaul brahmin converted to islam. iqbal was a confused man who wrote muslim hain hum mahzab sara jahn hamara . vs naipaul has written a lot about muslim world in his books that gives insight into the mess islamic countries found themselves at present.iqbal despite his scholarship did not see the contradictions inherent in his faith which does not tolerate any critical view of the faith . islam in based on intolerance of other faiths and abhors any discussions of reforms and co existence with other ideologies and claims to in possession of true way to worship GOD
no amount of homilies on the part of people like tarun vijay in going to convince die hards in islam.rss should confine itself to social work that is badly needed, its attempts to barge into politics is bound to fail as politics is not a game of cricket it is for scoudrels. if iam not mistaken iqbal never wrote sare jahn se acha pakistan hamara . he died before pakistan was formed . readers are free to correct me .

Iqbal did provide an ideological framework for Pakistan

You make some very good points. RSS should confine itself to social work which it does well. They have no idea of politics especially the world politics and should not dabble in it. Even an illiterate Italian widow who can not speak native language can outsmart these dumbos. One requires brain and knowledge to communicate point of view rather than simple dislike of others.

well said. Politics of hate has to be defeated in India before we become another Pakistan.

So long as punjabi terrorists keep murdering innocent Indians, kashmiris, sindhis and balochis, the subcontinent will keep burning.

Punjabi terrorists whether in India or Pakistan are the root cause of all problems in the subcontinent.

Pakistan will have to be divided along language and ethnic lines to achieve peace, otherwise the very survival of India will remain permanently endangered.
