It is extremely rare that one comes across a discourse on history that is so balanced and dispassionate. Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed stands out distinctively with his almost unshakeable grip on even the minutest details that had shaped Mr. Jinnah’s evolution as the political architect for an independent nation for the Muslims. And in this recapitulation and advocacy of Jinnah’s role, Dr. Ishtiaq has truthfully identified and very well explained the compromises that Jinnah had to make and which have been apparently labelled as contradictions to Jinnah’s sense of propriety. Despite the aberrations, both perceived and real, and the historical coincidences and compulsions, Jinnah will forever be remembered by all Pakistanis who value the true worth of freedom. There is the element of martyrdom rooted in this allegiance, at least for those who had exchanged blood for independence. So I sincerely hope that Dr. Ishtiaq’s book “Jinnah: His Successes, Failures and Role in History” will have drawn the curtain over drawing-room discussions questioning the various facets of the genesis of Pakistan. That being said, what matters more now is the way forward out of the political and social impasse that beleaguers this country. And this was also the concluding comment made by Dr. Ishtiaq. History is important and should be well known. But equally important is the fact that it channelizes the collective thought into positive action and not merely pander to the instinct for intellectual ruminations. Pakistan confronts problems of enormous dimensions. The greatest I believe is the lack of human capital, though nutrition and health services are equally critical. However, academic degrees are not all that matter. As a nation we first need to cultivate individualism - both the ability and moral courage to challenge tradition and dogma. For eons we have been hijacked by the guile of politicians and the obscurantism enforced from the pulpits. Unless we manage to extricate ourselves from forced allegiance, real progress will not follow. Just consider the time we dedicate to the useless 'jalsas' and congregations. Think about its opportunity cost. Who suffers and who benefits? I think it is not too difficult to answer! Thanks for the opportunity!
This man is totally lying about Sikhs...Sikhs have no such character of getting naked...this idiot does not know when Sikhs we're winning battles ..they never disrespected Muslim women....this type of man has always changed the viewpoint of Sardars ...n now he is doing same.
One major point missed by all . The decisive elections of 1946 held under British India govt act 1935. As per this act only literate were eligible voters. 1951 census records our literacy as 18 % . Thus less then 18 % Indians were eligible voters in 1946.
Serious and insightful response by Irfan Syed. Much to ponder about, and that necessitates critical thinking and positive action. Pakistan can not afford to waste any more time. Needs thoughtful Pakistanis who will rebuild the country and nation from the creative source of its origins. Without compromise and unfailingly.

Great appreciation for Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed for his exposition and clarity of thought. I would like to know more of his study on the first Law and Labour Minister of Pakistan, Jogendranath Mandal and the condition of his constituency in Pakistan and Bangladesh. I would like his references for some claims he made: 1. The Hindu/Sikh refugee men would gesticulate naked to the Muslim women in India. 2. "Dono jagah aurato ki mandiya lagi". There are references for these markets selling women as sex-slaves in Lahore and Peshawar, both during Partition and the Kashmir War. But, I would like to see reference for the same on this side of the border. There is also some nuance I would like to bring here in the over-glorification of the Congress and the over-vilification of the Hindu Mahasabha or RSS. As it was repeatedly conceded that Jinnah might have brought about the partition of India but could not stop the massacres even if he wanted. Why is the same logic not extended to the rest of India? How does the speaker assume that any party like the Congress could prevent the wholesale slaughter of Muslims in India? The horrors of the partition were mostly confined to Bengal and Punjab and some incidents in Bihar which was still under the Bengal Presidency. It is not due to the Congress that the Hindu population did not choose violence. It was the restraint due to their religious obligations. In fact the bogey of Non-violence practiced by Congress was busted right after the assassination of Gandhi, where the Chitpavan Brahmin Community, Godse's community, was subjected to targeted mob violence and massacres in Bombay Presidency. Large swathes of these community still cannot return back to their ancestral home. This was again replicated in the Anti-Sikh program organized by the Congress to avenge the killing of Indira Gandhi. The capability of the Congress to inflict severe human tragedy is underestimated. Also, the capability of Gandhi to deliberately overlook or justify the killings of Hindus for political convenience. is exemplary. The Moplah massacre, the Noakhali Massacre, Assassination of Rajpal, etc. are some of the few recorded instances where Gandhi's indifference to the suffering of the Hindus is abhorrent to say the least. This can be understood if you put yourselves in the shoes of a hindu. But, there is dank apathy for the pagan/kafir Hindu in the scholarship of the Colonialist, the Muslim, the Communist or the Christian. Also, is it not surprising to the author that Gandhi, the Prophet of Non-violence, was the foremost conscription general of Indians for the British Colonial Army in at least the Anglo-Boer Wars, the First World War and the Second World War? Wars where the Indian adolescent boys did not know the enemy and never returned home. While he would stop any Indian independence movement for any small instance of violence.
Very good arguments- he is 75 years old so in that orthodoxy Nehru and Gandhi are worshipped as seculars. Even we Indians didnt know about the moplah massacre or the killing of Maharashtrian brahmins after Gandhi’s death. All this knowledge dissemination is only possible because of the internet platforms and an interested audience. The old narrative also kept Hindus down and insecure. We only know about the frauds these two self proclaimed saviors of India were now.
Very well articulated. All of Gandhis fasts and most of his agitations were against fellow Hindus. In West Bengal, he does not have the respect that he has in the rest of the country.
This is probably the first time--or at any rate, it's exceedingly uncommon-- that such heterodox views about Jinnah have been uttered in public, and that too in Islamabad. Kudos to Dr Ishtiaq and to Dr Hoodbhoy for hosting him. Takes a lot of courage.
Hats off to Dr. Ahmad for his research, knowledge, and capacity to hit with truth. He mentions things about Jinnah (not being secular)and Islam (not being democratic) and many other uncomfortable facts (like partition killings were started by the Pakistani side) to the extent that if it was said by any one else it would have lead to blasphemy murder on the meeting itself. The way he tells the story is fascinating and it reflects that not only has he gone very deep in to it historically but literally re lived it! Thank you all for this interesting talk.
please read about killing of Muslims in riots in different parts of your India a day after 1940 resolution was announced in Lahore before you say killings started in Pakistan. Use your IT experts to calculate and let you know that 1940 came before 1947. Also read about the reasons people in various parts of the then Hindustan converted to Islam. They did not convert to Islam just to get to know it. There is a long history of systematic, sustained, and coldblooded mistreatment of some segments of population by the hands of others in the subcontinent. Don't start clapping and cheering when someone says something negative about Pakistan.
I was born in Pakistan, and while I respect the views of leaders like Quaid-e-Azam, I believe in the importance of making my own decisions about what it means to be Pakistani. I am independent-minded and will not allow others to impose their beliefs on me.
To be a Pakistani was already written by thousands of people who gave their life for this very occasion, and it’s the best possible meaning to be a Pakistani.
_"I am independent minded and will not allow others to impose their beliefs on me"_ If you are a Muslim then that 👆 statement is already a lie. _What_ to believe in is not a choice for a Muslim; it is already decided and prescribed for him/her in the holy Kitaab. Don't believe me? Step out in Pakistan (or anywhere these days) and deny any single verse of that book. And see what happens to you.
@@ArmageddonIsHere it’s kinda stupid saying that cuz, people choose their religion themselves, and whatever awaited when they choose that path. So they are independent on making the decision in what they want to believe before they choose to follow a religion. And once you’re following it, you are still following what YOU chose for yourself, so it’s still an independent decision. And no, do not start the argument about people who are forced to follow a religion, that’s not what we are talking about.
@@christa4172 "People choose their religion themselves". That's a lie too. Especially in most of the Muslim world. The vast majority of people in the world, but most especially in Pakistan, are Muslim because they are born into it and having been born into it, stay with it. They don't, therefore, _choose_ their religion any more than they choose what family they're born into.
@@ArmageddonIsHere holy kitab is Gods book. there cannot anything holy more than that. you need the mind to do research and find the truth. till then keep telling others they are a lie
Thank you very much, it was a wonderful 3 days discussion by you all great scholars. I felt privileged and honored to be listening to you all. Thank you once again.
This speaker is also andh Zahadi Jahadi but gives build up that he is a moderate but mind full of zahadism. Because he is speaking about Manu Smrithi. 99% of Hindus do not know about the book Manusmruthi
@@aminaabdulla5854 Read his books first. He is indeed a Gem. He correctly identifies Jinnah as a communalist. I like him more than Modiji to be honest with you.
@@jineshjillsgeorge yup, you guys like islamists but do not like to live under Taiiban. It is called hypocracy. He should identify his religion is the root cause of the problem not JINNAH.

He is talkign about Manusmruthi that where he is showing his true colors.
Black Hole is perhaps the most inappropriate name for a platform from where ideas and perspectives should spread like ripples to the outermost periphery. Another stand out performance from Dr Ishtiaq saab Applaud his remarkable ability to not let his world view infulence the outcome of his research. Prof Hoodbhoy dexterously steered the discussion on a land mine-laden subject. Fervently wish to see the platform go from strength to strength.
This is one of the most awesome bipartisan discussions on historical events. Such a gem of a Pakistani historian. Professor Ishtiaq is like an encyclopedia of information and quoting with sources is so impressive. I am going to read all his books and suggest to people.
No he is not a gem. He peddles to the vast Indian market knowing full well what will trawl him a huge catch in the Ganga sea. Academic research requires objectivity and questioning everything . Not taking anything as given and turning over accepted thinking. So let us address the basic question. What do you mean partition of India? There was no India beforee 1947. There was instead a British colony ran from London called the British Indian Raj 🇬🇧. This included present day Myanmar [Burma], Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indian Republic etc. Arguably the first partition was of Burma in 1938. In 1947 the colonial state was disolved and succesor of the Raj the Dominons of Pakistan and India came into existence.
Yes, please promote him in India. After all, RAW invested money on him. As a Pakistani, I can comfortably say that he offers Indian view of our Quaid e Azam. He is biased and dishonest to his own soil. To be honest, he doesn't represent a normal human mind. It is almost human nature to owe gratitude to the land you belong to. Most of the normal people do. Some go through their own experiences and end up being a minority in that sense. It is not difficult to find flaws of major or minor nature in every person and every ideology. Taking enemy's view because of their own experiences and making the minor imperfections the basis of denying the existence gratitude to one's homeland is like making a choice you were going to make anyhow and justifying it to suppress the inner call from your own conscience. In his case, he takes refuge behind the academics and apparently uses logic and historical "facts" to justify where he stands. I believe he was raised in a household where the timing or events surrounding migration of his family to Lahore and his own struggles for livelihood created space in him to take the minority view of Jinnah and Pakistan. Then during his stay in Europe, he was influenced by the Indian mindset that knows only how to hate. He seems to hold Jinnah responsible for the chaotic migration that happened. This may be convenient but is incorrect. Similarly, claiming that Jinnah got an independent country because he wanted to be the leader of it is entirely wrong. Considering the faltering health of Jinnah by the time Pakistan was given to him, he knew he did not have long time left to live. Yes, Jinnah never came out unambiguously on the question of secularism or Islamic laws in Pakistan. It was obvious that he wanted a middle ground to be taken. No sane person would struggle for a homeland for Muslims based on incompatibility with Hindu majority and impose secularism in the country just because he was personally a modern lawyer with Western education. Good thing is that he never advocated a theocratic state despite the desire of many people around him to make such a declaration. When I look at the plight of Indian Muslims every day after 1947, I have all the reason to say that Hindu mindset is not going to accept some of their people to even change their names to Muslim ones. I am a direct witness of being on dinner table with Hindus from India who would not eat any food that they thought I had unintentionally touched. My ancestors did not convert for fun. They must have made their decision based on mistreatment they faced as a pattern on some level. To be honest, Indians should try and open their minds and stop mistreatment of others instead of trying to prove that Pakistan was created by someone who had his own agenda. Finally, the discussion was entirely one-sided and the author got angry with the person when an uncomfortable question was asked. Having said all what I have said, I will be honest enough to admit that we in Pakistan have so far been unable to define our own nationhood with clarity. There is a host of reasons behind that and I don't justify the fact that we have not even started the process of nation building. I have my own theory on that. I will do some fact checking and post my view of the phenomenon in comments section of relevant UA-cam videos I get to watch. By the way, RAW approaches and lures every single Pakistani of prominence if it sees a chance of denting the cause of Pakistan. Of course, influencing Pakistani people living outside Pakistan is a lot easier. For example, a politician Altaf Hussain speaks the language of RAW and once declared creation of Pakistan biggest mistake in the history of humankind. Unfortunately, the way our state responds is to just demonize him back home. We don't believe in creating a counter narrative. It is not that there is a lot of logic in Indian view of the creation of Pakistan. Indian view can get a lot of likes on the social media platforms for obvious reasons. But getting more clicks doesn't define what is historically accurate and what is a fabrication.

our education curriculum says India Occupied Kashir, Balochistan is part of Pakistan, India started all wars, etc. Do you think this level they can digest??
The tragedy of Gandhi’s life was that [the] members of his inner council who followed him for more than twenty years with unquestioned obedience, took the fatal steps leading to the partition of India without his knowledge, not to speak of his consent…[Jinnah’s fight] was…a fight not for the freedom of India…but for the freedom of the Muslims from the tyrannical yoke of the Hindus, as he put it. He won the fight; the cult of violence decided the issue. To what extent Gandhi’s cult of non-violence may claim credit for the freedom of India is a matter of opinion. But there is no doubt that the creation of Pakistan was the triumph of violence-in its naked and most brutal form-and of the leadership of Jinnah. Nobody can be reasonably sure that India would have surely attained Independence…even without Gandhi, but it is extremely doubtful whether there would have been a Pakistan without Jinnah. ~ Great Indian historian Shri R.C. Majumdar
I doubt Jinnah could have gain much support amongst the Muslim politicians in Punjab if Sikandar Hayat Khan didn’t die in 1942. Sikandar’s grandson Tariq Ali has also think this would have been the case.
This man is totally lying about Sikhs...Sikhs have no such character of getting naked...this idiot does not know when Sikhs we're winning battles ..they never disrespected Muslim women....this type of man has always changed the viewpoint of Sardars ...n now he is doing same.
I agree with Dr. Ahmed, quality of university level teacher @1:40 is shocking. Teachers and professors are the builders of modern nations, which are based on the quality of knowledge of the population.
Don't blame the teacher, for he is paid to teach within the framework of the "Pakistan Studies' in an environment where any deviation from the national narrative is considered heretic.
Irony is these programs are mostly watched by Indians not by Pakistanis… Pakistanis doesn’t pay respect to these gems that they deserve… more power to such sane voices in pakistan..keep up good work professors 👍👍👍
also irony is , Indians appreciate secular and liberal Pakistani scholars and intellectuals while the same Indians constantly back the illiberal and communal dispensation of India and deride the secular and liberal Indians as anti nationals.
@@prakashkify Pakistanis and many Indians thinks binary. That’s not how it works, everyone who supports BJP is not hindu extremist and Muslim haters.

I am 70 years old, I have studied history Emergence of Pakistan from various books of different writers. Every writer has explained Jinnah's efforts toward making Pakistan. Their all information were based on various events but Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed's briefing in The Black Hole is justifiable to Let the people of Pakistan decide to solve their problems of Rooti, Kapra and Makan themselves but sorry to say this solution is not possible until every citizen of country would have equal rights in casting voting but in the distribution of National Wealth.

Fact based speech..
At that time, if Mr. Jinnah was a British / American man, then he should had got more and more of his demands and even Kashmir, too. Moreover did he know it that Rajas of states had rights to join with Pak or India ? So if Pakistan had accepted Hyderabad's Raja's request, then Mr. Jinnah knew it very well about Kashmir's Raja's decision too, So all that story is just a fake story.

@1:40:00 to the gentleman saying Muslims in India are not in a good situation as predicted by Jinnah, please allow me to present my views…. While India has a lot to improve upon, there is no opression or discrimination. People may have biases, but that’s true for any group of people anywhere in the world. Muslims are prospering In India, they have a very loud political voice and will not allow or accept injustice, rightly so. Can Pakistan say the same thing about it’s minorities ?
Pakistanis will never agree to see the prosperity of Muslims in India not due to misconceptions but willingly as it defeats the purpose of their existence. India has had not one but several Muslim presidents,generals and billionaires Minorities have been heads of the Armed Forces several times can any single Pakistani Muslim accept their Armed Forces to be lead by a Kaffir this shows the level of maturity of 2 societies and yes it's because of the religious views not just because of 1 political leader
Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed narrates history with a pragmatic approach. I appreciate the comments by Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed and he is a scholar of top class. Thanks for his hard work
Indirectly Jinnah did a favour to India by creating a buffer zone between India and Afghanistan. We couldn't afford taliban as our immediate neighbours but then India would not make taliban in the first place like pk did. Although I lament the bloodshed of partition but the partition had been a blessing in disguise for India.
Listening counter perspective of what we have been taught throughout our educational system is nothing but a treat to ears. Glad to be on this platform
Amazing analysis and gathering of facts, and an outstanding articulation of events, connecting the dots, chronological sense, moreover, presenting the history without a communal touch is greatly appreciated. Well done, Sir. In the present era of info-terrorism (presenting doctored or skewed history in the name of true history, spreading communal violence and fear through provocative videos and speeches) your efforts are undoing the damage done by fake and WhatsApp degree holders in history. I like your humble tone, your attitude towards humanity in general, and your efforts to spread knowledge.
As a Pakistani, I'm so thankful to this channel for providing us with such commendable research-based knowledge about partition. I'm gonna read all the books of Dr. Ishtiaq and will pursue my Ph.D. on this topic. Thank you Dr Hoodboy for the eye-opening discussions
In these talks, one thing must be made clear in the beginning: History is a multifaceted narrative shaped by diverse perspectives, experiences, and biases, rather than a singular objective truth. It encompasses various interpretations, reflecting the context, culture, and worldview of the historian, making it subjective and open to multiple readings. This nuanced understanding acknowledges the complexity of historical events, encouraging critical analysis and consideration of different viewpoints to grasp the richness of the past.
After 75 years we have started finding that our founding fathers, Jinnah, Nehru and Gandhi had feet of clay. Instead of leading people by example educating them about progress of science and it's importance, our erstwhile leaders emphasised the importance of religion and not unity in diversity.

Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed is bright as always. His research is very well. What I am truly surprised is how well this program was conducted. Obviously there would be differences in opinion, but overall program is well conducted and civilised.
Thank you again thank again!!! Beautiful discussion so peoples know the facts about history what I learned in school. I hope and pray yours message will be blessings to all peoples. God bless more and more your efforts.
Sadly we don't have many 'intellectuals' in Pakistan and certainly not Dr Ishtiaq who just appeases the huge Indian population to sell his books and make a name for himself. Anybody can become a star by peddling pro India narrative and he is good example of this.
Dr I Ahmed is a intellectual gem.. His deep knowledge and research is evident. I wish there was a person of his calibre who could dispel the fake narrative around Nehru and his actions during the partition period and later as PM of India, just as he has helped to dislodge the fake narrative about true intentions of Jinah..
How many other such ‘gems’ have you heard or read? Probably none! This is perhaps the first time you have seen / heard such discussion. It is more your ignorance than Ishtiaq Ahmed’s brilliance that makes him a gem for you.
Sir you are a real political scientist because when you are doing dissection of history you are doing it without any emotion only based on logic that's all.
I must admit the professor is, well, very professorial in patiently answering questions from younger aggressive questioners. He even apologizes when he feels that he was not polite. Good way to handle panel discussions on complex and emotional issues.
Yaar I am atheist. Abhi mai na hindu hu na muslim, but Indian hu. Abhi some people say that I can be an atheist and still be a Hindu as part of nirakar hinduism since you dont have to worry about the god but try to make sure to stack up good karma and follow you duty as a member of society as best and lead a good life as you please without hurting anyone. That is the closest religious philosophy I have but I dont even care about that and do as I please. I bash both Hindus and Muslims and even atheists when they do illogical stuff. Thankfully being in India I do not fear it. I have discussed atheism with my Christian teachers, muslim friends and Hindu family. We still live together and they dont care.

In 1946 when Gandhi came to Calcutta to pacify the city and stop the riots, the Muslim League goons left a dead cow in front of the house where he was staying. Within a day or two Suhrawardy came and asked for forgiveness from Gandhi. And eventually he did a rally with both the communities united. Muslims and Hindus returned back to their old neighbourhoods in Kolkata and in post 1947 Muslim League became a history in the city. As long as the Minar e Pakistan stands, Pakistanis would continue to disrespect and ignore the contributions of Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Bacha Khan, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lajpat Rai and many others. People who actually fought and sacrificed for the freedom of the subcontinent. They did not engage in cynical politics playing with the blood of the people like Mr Jinnah.

I live in kolkata. Time is 3.13am. For last few hours i was mesmerized by your story telling. I would have been very happy if it went a bit longer. On both sides of border we are trying to change the our history and facts so that ruling government can justify their acts and ideology. Our young generation are being taught that manipulated history. You are one of the few story tellers who can teach us right history based on facts. Just continue to do this kind of podcasts which enlightens the people.

Ishtiaq sahb is such a gem who enlightened us by giving us the sight to look at this topic rationally otherwise we would have been lost in the concocted narrative, we are taught in our educational institutions. Now, where Pakistan stands proves that this all episode was mere bullshit without having vision. I mean, how can you part a nation on the basis of a religion? What is happening now in Pak. is all the result of that mischievous act. These people (our so called leadership) were not worthy of given a small piece of land whom they granted this sacred piece of land to corrupt. Even a single of them was nowhere to be a leader to lead a country.
That's some way to summarize it. I always tell my closer ones about reality and visionlessness of both Jinnah and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. The day we understand the real face of the two, Pakistan will sustain itself.
Around 51% of today's India was British India. Gandhi and Jinnah's Gujarat was by and large independent of British India. So, how were these people leading parties like Congress and Muslim League when their land wasn't under British occupation? How could someone like Jinnah end up as founder of Pakistan a land with which he had no connect? Jinnah was a Shia Muslim. So, how could a Shia Muslim create a Sunni Pakistan ?
Jinnah has saved Hindus , instead of feeding 30 crores of Muslims almost for free , we would have required to feed 70 crores. Thanks Jinnah. He should be honoured by Hindus
true boss...jinnah shud be awarded bharat ratna by our indian government given how visionary he was unlike our headless leadership of congress and gandhi
I do chastise anybody critisizing the two nation theory. I do beleive it was better for current day indians surely. It would be a mess to have everyone together.
Ambedkar told that this partition is never complete without complete transfer of muslim from India and hindu from Pakistan.........hindu from Pakistan was attached by muslim then Gandhiji told that don't need muslim of india go to Pakistan so that voilance can be stopped
Millions of Indian Muslims refused to follow Mr. Jinnah and decided to stay in India. Muslims who migrated to Pakistan filed false claims of property and were allotted large properties owned by Hindus and Sikhs who fled to India. It was one of the greatest frauds in human history. Urdu speaking muhajirs captured bureaucracy and big business houses in Pakistan. For them, the new country was a land of milk and honey. They looted and plundered Pakistan and then left Pakistan to settle in Europe, Canada, and America. That is the story in a nutshell.
Frm Pak🕊Dr Ishtiq Ahmed is fair & upright…a good human being. Wish he was invited by Pak TV channels & his enlightened views would have been reached masses…wish.
Thanks Jinnah for creating Pakistan. Although my ancestors faced a lot of difficulties to run away from their Punjab. When I hear Pakistanis staying there, it’s harrowing to see which world they are living in. We develop IT, they develop in terror.
Excellent. I am a bengali from India originally my forefather from east bengal. I respect opinion of Dr Ahmed as it is researched based book and his opinion. Let us proceed for peace, enoughh of violence we have seen in the past. Stop that hatred. Thanks to blackhole for organising this discussion.
I don't agree with the negativity in this talk. Yet, I wholeheartedly agree with the desire of peaceful coexistence you have mentioned. Empty sloganeering like India was partitioned by the foreigners or more Pakistan-like countries will emerge needs to be given up. The welcome developments are that India of today will not be colonized in the foreseeable future and the fact that part of subcontinent Muslims have a homeland of their own are positive enough to build on. I wish more people had views like yours. If that was the case, India would not have worked night and day to dismember Pakistan in 1971 and there were no wars, nor such high defense spending. I would say that Pakistani people bear more goodwill about peace than their Indian counterparts. This is not a big virtue because someone has to be more honest than the other in this mindless rivalry. So, we are just lucky to be on the right side of honesty.
I am going to buy and read all of Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed’s books. Amazing, simply amazing

It is extremely rare that one comes across a discourse on history that is so balanced and dispassionate. Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed stands out distinctively with his almost unshakeable grip on even the minutest details that had shaped Mr. Jinnah’s evolution as the political architect for an independent nation for the Muslims. And in this recapitulation and advocacy of Jinnah’s role, Dr. Ishtiaq has truthfully identified and very well explained the compromises that Jinnah had to make and which have been apparently labelled as contradictions to Jinnah’s sense of propriety.
Despite the aberrations, both perceived and real, and the historical coincidences and compulsions, Jinnah will forever be remembered by all Pakistanis who value the true worth of freedom. There is the element of martyrdom rooted in this allegiance, at least for those who had exchanged blood for independence. So I sincerely hope that Dr. Ishtiaq’s book “Jinnah: His Successes, Failures and Role in History” will have drawn the curtain over drawing-room discussions questioning the various facets of the genesis of Pakistan.
That being said, what matters more now is the way forward out of the political and social impasse that beleaguers this country. And this was also the concluding comment made by Dr. Ishtiaq. History is important and should be well known. But equally important is the fact that it channelizes the collective thought into positive action and not merely pander to the instinct for intellectual ruminations. Pakistan confronts problems of enormous dimensions. The greatest I believe is the lack of human capital, though nutrition and health services are equally critical. However, academic degrees are not all that matter. As a nation we first need to cultivate individualism - both the ability and moral courage to challenge tradition and dogma. For eons we have been hijacked by the guile of politicians and the obscurantism enforced from the pulpits. Unless we manage to extricate ourselves from forced allegiance, real progress will not follow. Just consider the time we dedicate to the useless 'jalsas' and congregations. Think about its opportunity cost. Who suffers and who benefits? I think it is not too difficult to answer!
Thanks for the opportunity!
This man is totally lying about Sikhs...Sikhs have no such character of getting naked...this idiot does not know when Sikhs we're winning battles ..they never disrespected Muslim women....this type of man has always changed the viewpoint of Sardars ...n now he is doing same.
One major point missed by all . The decisive elections of 1946 held under British India govt act 1935. As per this act only literate were eligible voters. 1951 census records our literacy as 18 % . Thus less then 18 % Indians were eligible voters in 1946.
Serious and insightful response by Irfan Syed. Much to ponder about, and that necessitates critical thinking and positive action. Pakistan can not afford to waste any more time. Needs thoughtful Pakistanis who will rebuild the country and nation from the creative source of its origins. Without compromise and unfailingly.
Mr. Ishtiaq is a living legend. Love and hats off to him.

Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed is truly a gem of Pakistan. Lots of Respect
You fool! He hates Modiji. Check his other videos
Great appreciation for Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed for his exposition and clarity of thought. I would like to know more of his study on the first Law and Labour Minister of Pakistan, Jogendranath Mandal and the condition of his constituency in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
I would like his references for some claims he made:
1. The Hindu/Sikh refugee men would gesticulate naked to the Muslim women in India.
2. "Dono jagah aurato ki mandiya lagi". There are references for these markets selling women as sex-slaves in Lahore and Peshawar, both during Partition and the Kashmir War.
But, I would like to see reference for the same on this side of the border.
There is also some nuance I would like to bring here in the over-glorification of the Congress and the over-vilification of the Hindu Mahasabha or RSS. As it was repeatedly conceded that Jinnah might have brought about the partition of India but could not stop the massacres even if he wanted.
Why is the same logic not extended to the rest of India? How does the speaker assume that any party like the Congress could prevent the wholesale slaughter of Muslims in India? The horrors of the partition were mostly confined to Bengal and Punjab and some incidents in Bihar which was still under the Bengal Presidency. It is not due to the Congress that the Hindu population did not choose violence. It was the restraint due to their religious obligations.
In fact the bogey of Non-violence practiced by Congress was busted right after the assassination of Gandhi, where the Chitpavan Brahmin Community, Godse's community, was subjected to targeted mob violence and massacres in Bombay Presidency. Large swathes of these community still cannot return back to their ancestral home.
This was again replicated in the Anti-Sikh program organized by the Congress to avenge the killing of Indira Gandhi.
The capability of the Congress to inflict severe human tragedy is underestimated.
Also, the capability of Gandhi to deliberately overlook or justify the killings of Hindus for political convenience. is exemplary. The Moplah massacre, the Noakhali Massacre, Assassination of Rajpal, etc. are some of the few recorded instances where Gandhi's indifference to the suffering of the Hindus is abhorrent to say the least. This can be understood if you put yourselves in the shoes of a hindu. But, there is dank apathy for the pagan/kafir Hindu in the scholarship of the Colonialist, the Muslim, the Communist or the Christian.
Also, is it not surprising to the author that Gandhi, the Prophet of Non-violence, was the foremost conscription general of Indians for the British Colonial Army in at least the Anglo-Boer Wars, the First World War and the Second World War? Wars where the Indian adolescent boys did not know the enemy and never returned home. While he would stop any Indian independence movement for any small instance of violence.
🙏🏻🙏🏻👌👌👌👌
Very good arguments- he is 75 years old so in that orthodoxy Nehru and Gandhi are worshipped as seculars. Even we Indians didnt know about the moplah massacre or the killing of Maharashtrian brahmins after Gandhi’s death. All this knowledge dissemination is only possible because of the internet platforms and an interested audience. The old narrative also kept Hindus down and insecure. We only know about the frauds these two self proclaimed saviors of India were now.
Very well articulated. All of Gandhis fasts and most of his agitations were against fellow Hindus. In West Bengal, he does not have the respect that he has in the rest of the country.
This is probably the first time--or at any rate, it's exceedingly uncommon-- that such heterodox views about Jinnah have been uttered in public, and that too in Islamabad. Kudos to Dr Ishtiaq and to Dr Hoodbhoy for hosting him. Takes a lot of courage.
Hoodbhoy didn't like it
I sincerely hope & pray for the BLACK-HOPE to succeed in its endeavor.

So true. Well I am surprised at the audience, who are sitting like dummies ,without showing any reaction.
@@Seekthetruth-forus perhaps the audience was stunned into silence with a view which is alien to them.
Hats off to Dr. Ahmad for his research, knowledge, and capacity to hit with truth. He mentions things about Jinnah (not being secular)and Islam (not being democratic) and many other uncomfortable facts (like partition killings were started by the Pakistani side) to the extent that if it was said by any one else it would have lead to blasphemy murder on the meeting itself. The way he tells the story is fascinating and it reflects that not only has he gone very deep in to it historically but literally re lived it! Thank you all for this interesting talk.
please read about killing of Muslims in riots in different parts of your India a day after 1940 resolution was announced in Lahore before you say killings started in Pakistan. Use your IT experts to calculate and let you know that 1940 came before 1947. Also read about the reasons people in various parts of the then Hindustan converted to Islam. They did not convert to Islam just to get to know it. There is a long history of systematic, sustained, and coldblooded mistreatment of some segments of population by the hands of others in the subcontinent. Don't start clapping and cheering when someone says something negative about Pakistan.
I was born in Pakistan, and while I respect the views of leaders like Quaid-e-Azam, I believe in the importance of making my own decisions about what it means to be Pakistani. I am independent-minded and will not allow others to impose their beliefs on me.
To be a Pakistani was already written by thousands of people who gave their life for this very occasion, and it’s the best possible meaning to be a Pakistani.
_"I am independent minded and will not allow others to impose their beliefs on me"_
If you are a Muslim then that 👆 statement is already a lie.
_What_ to believe in is not a choice for a Muslim; it is already decided and prescribed for him/her in the holy Kitaab.
Don't believe me? Step out in Pakistan (or anywhere these days) and deny any single verse of that book. And see what happens to you.
@@ArmageddonIsHere it’s kinda stupid saying that cuz, people choose their religion themselves, and whatever awaited when they choose that path. So they are independent on making the decision in what they want to believe before they choose to follow a religion. And once you’re following it, you are still following what YOU chose for yourself, so it’s still an independent decision.
And no, do not start the argument about people who are forced to follow a religion, that’s not what we are talking about.
@@christa4172
"People choose their religion themselves". That's a lie too. Especially in most of the Muslim world.
The vast majority of people in the world, but most especially in Pakistan, are Muslim because they are born into it and having been born into it, stay with it. They don't, therefore, _choose_ their religion any more than they choose what family they're born into.
@@ArmageddonIsHere holy kitab is Gods book. there cannot anything holy more than that. you need the mind to do research and find the truth. till then keep telling others they are a lie

Black Hole is perhaps the most inappropriate name for a platform from where ideas and perspectives should spread like ripples to the outermost periphery. Another stand out performance from Dr Ishtiaq saab Applaud his remarkable ability to not let his world view infulence the outcome of his research. Prof Hoodbhoy dexterously steered the discussion on a land mine-laden subject. Fervently wish to see the platform go from strength to strength.
This is one of the most awesome bipartisan discussions on historical events. Such a gem of a Pakistani historian. Professor Ishtiaq is like an encyclopedia of information and quoting with sources is so impressive. I am going to read all his books and suggest to people.
No he is not a gem. He peddles to the vast Indian market knowing full well what will trawl him a huge catch in the Ganga sea. Academic research requires objectivity and questioning everything . Not taking anything as given and turning over accepted thinking. So let us address the basic question. What do you mean partition of India? There was no India beforee 1947. There was instead a British colony ran from London called the British Indian Raj 🇬🇧. This included present day Myanmar [Burma], Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indian Republic etc. Arguably the first partition was of Burma in 1938. In 1947 the colonial state was disolved and succesor of the Raj the Dominons of Pakistan and India came into existence.
Yes, please promote him in India. After all, RAW invested money on him. As a Pakistani, I can comfortably say that he offers Indian view of our Quaid e Azam. He is biased and dishonest to his own soil. To be honest, he doesn't represent a normal human mind. It is almost human nature to owe gratitude to the land you belong to. Most of the normal people do. Some go through their own experiences and end up being a minority in that sense. It is not difficult to find flaws of major or minor nature in every person and every ideology. Taking enemy's view because of their own experiences and making the minor imperfections the basis of denying the existence gratitude to one's homeland is like making a choice you were going to make anyhow and justifying it to suppress the inner call from your own conscience. In his case, he takes refuge behind the academics and apparently uses logic and historical "facts" to justify where he stands. I believe he was raised in a household where the timing or events surrounding migration of his family to Lahore and his own struggles for livelihood created space in him to take the minority view of Jinnah and Pakistan. Then during his stay in Europe, he was influenced by the Indian mindset that knows only how to hate. He seems to hold Jinnah responsible for the chaotic migration that happened. This may be convenient but is incorrect. Similarly, claiming that Jinnah got an independent country because he wanted to be the leader of it is entirely wrong. Considering the faltering health of Jinnah by the time Pakistan was given to him, he knew he did not have long time left to live. Yes, Jinnah never came out unambiguously on the question of secularism or Islamic laws in Pakistan. It was obvious that he wanted a middle ground to be taken. No sane person would struggle for a homeland for Muslims based on incompatibility with Hindu majority and impose secularism in the country just because he was personally a modern lawyer with Western education. Good thing is that he never advocated a theocratic state despite the desire of many people around him to make such a declaration. When I look at the plight of Indian Muslims every day after 1947, I have all the reason to say that Hindu mindset is not going to accept some of their people to even change their names to Muslim ones. I am a direct witness of being on dinner table with Hindus from India who would not eat any food that they thought I had unintentionally touched. My ancestors did not convert for fun. They must have made their decision based on mistreatment they faced as a pattern on some level. To be honest, Indians should try and open their minds and stop mistreatment of others instead of trying to prove that Pakistan was created by someone who had his own agenda. Finally, the discussion was entirely one-sided and the author got angry with the person when an uncomfortable question was asked. Having said all what I have said, I will be honest enough to admit that we in Pakistan have so far been unable to define our own nationhood with clarity. There is a host of reasons behind that and I don't justify the fact that we have not even started the process of nation building. I have my own theory on that. I will do some fact checking and post my view of the phenomenon in comments section of relevant UA-cam videos I get to watch. By the way, RAW approaches and lures every single Pakistani of prominence if it sees a chance of denting the cause of Pakistan. Of course, influencing Pakistani people living outside Pakistan is a lot easier. For example, a politician Altaf Hussain speaks the language of RAW and once declared creation of Pakistan biggest mistake in the history of humankind. Unfortunately, the way our state responds is to just demonize him back home. We don't believe in creating a counter narrative. It is not that there is a lot of logic in Indian view of the creation of Pakistan. Indian view can get a lot of likes on the social media platforms for obvious reasons. But getting more clicks doesn't define what is historically accurate and what is a fabrication.
پاکستان سے بہت سے اختلافات ہیں یقینا پاکستان ویسا نہیں بن سکا جس کے لیے بھی یہ بنایا گیا تھا لیکن میرا خیال ہے کہ پاکستان کا مار زی وجود میں انا انتہائی ضروری اور ایک کٹھن مرحلہ تھا اور یہ گفتو گو اس کا مقصد صرف نئی نسل کا مورال ڈاؤن کرنا ہے ظاہر ہے اس کے پیچھے پاکستان مخالف گروہ ہی کام کر رہے ہیں

The tragedy of Gandhi’s life was that [the] members of his inner
council who followed him for more than twenty years with
unquestioned obedience, took the fatal steps leading to the partition of
India without his knowledge, not to speak of his consent…[Jinnah’s
fight] was…a fight not for the freedom of India…but for the freedom of
the Muslims from the tyrannical yoke of the Hindus, as he put it. He
won the fight; the cult of violence decided the issue. To what extent
Gandhi’s cult of non-violence may claim credit for the freedom of India
is a matter of opinion. But there is no doubt that the creation of
Pakistan was the triumph of violence-in its naked and most brutal
form-and of the leadership of Jinnah. Nobody can be reasonably sure
that India would have surely attained Independence…even without
Gandhi, but it is extremely doubtful whether there would have been a
Pakistan without Jinnah.

At that time, if Mr. Jinnah was a British / American man, then he should had got more and more of his demands and even Kashmir, too.
Moreover did he know it that Rajas of states had rights to join with Pak or India ? So if Pakistan had accepted Hyderabad's Raja's request, then Mr. Jinnah knew it very well about Kashmir's Raja's decision too, So all that story is just a fake story.

Brilliant research, analysis and discussion. Learned so much about that historical time.
Brilliant! Enjoyed listening to this engaging discussion. The follow up questions were also very good!
Best line of the whole show for me “Forget about Kashmir and negative obsession with India, and look towards Pakistans future.”
“I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came. And if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration - friends, inter-marriages and so on - than Muslims ... I would say, today, we can integrate all religions and races except Islam.” (Lee later retracted this comment.)

1:35:55 what about india gives up Kashmir and becomes friend with Pakistan after??
@@Logicalsane - Why should IN give up Kashmir? PK's friendship is inconsequential for IN. However, it may be in PK's self-interest to make peace with IN for its own growth & development - if it is interested in those things.
@@LogicalsaneYou don't want Kashmir, you want Delhi. If Muslim majority was the logic, you would have retained Bangladesh and not committed atrocities in Balochistan.
Pakistan has no negative obsession with India but India has a negative obsession with Pakistan. Who forcibly occupied Hyderabad, Junagar and Kashmir and sponsored secession in East Pakistan. Only matter is India shall have to accept reality of Pakistan instead of spending billions for illegal occupation of Kashmir and Siachin Glacier.

What a great discussion...a big big fan of these two intellectuals...may God bless these guy's.
@1:40:00 to the gentleman saying Muslims in India are not in a good situation as predicted by Jinnah, please allow me to present my views…. While India has a lot to improve upon, there is no opression or discrimination. People may have biases, but that’s true for any group of people anywhere in the world. Muslims are prospering In India, they have a very loud political voice and will not allow or accept injustice, rightly so. Can Pakistan say the same thing about it’s minorities ?
Pakistanis will never agree to see the prosperity of Muslims in India not due to misconceptions but willingly as it defeats the purpose of their existence. India has had not one but several Muslim presidents,generals and billionaires Minorities have been heads of the Armed Forces several times can any single Pakistani Muslim accept their Armed Forces to be lead by a Kaffir this shows the level of maturity of 2 societies and yes it's because of the religious views not just because of 1 political leader

Indirectly Jinnah did a favour to India by creating a buffer zone between India and Afghanistan. We couldn't afford taliban as our immediate neighbours but then India would not make taliban in the first place like pk did. Although I lament the bloodshed of partition but the partition had been a blessing in disguise for India.
If india was Afghans neighbour, there wouldn't have been the Taliban in the first place.

Amazing analysis and gathering of facts, and an outstanding articulation of events, connecting the dots, chronological sense, moreover, presenting the history without a communal touch is greatly appreciated. Well done, Sir. In the present era of info-terrorism (presenting doctored or skewed history in the name of true history, spreading communal violence and fear through provocative videos and speeches) your efforts are undoing the damage done by fake and WhatsApp degree holders in history. I like your humble tone, your attitude towards humanity in general, and your efforts to spread knowledge.
I applaud you dear sir janab ( Dr.) Ishtiyaq Ahmed for staying truth... 👍🙏👌
Really thankful to Jinnah, wish he could have managed to take a few more Islamists!!
As a Pakistani, I'm so thankful to this channel for providing us with such commendable research-based knowledge about partition. I'm gonna read all the books of Dr. Ishtiaq and will pursue my Ph.D. on this topic. Thank you Dr Hoodboy for the eye-opening discussions

In these talks, one thing must be made clear in the beginning:
History is a multifaceted narrative shaped by diverse perspectives, experiences, and biases, rather than a singular objective truth. It encompasses various interpretations, reflecting the context, culture, and worldview of the historian, making it subjective and open to multiple readings. This nuanced understanding acknowledges the complexity of historical events, encouraging critical analysis and consideration of different viewpoints to grasp the richness of the past.
Huge respect for Ishtiaq Sb! I am going to read this book now
After 75 years we have started finding that our founding fathers, Jinnah, Nehru and Gandhi had feet of clay. Instead of leading people by example educating them about progress of science and it's importance, our erstwhile leaders emphasised the importance of religion and not unity in diversity.
If you heard the discussion keenly, you wouldn't be putting all 3 in one basket.
If you had a brain you would know that Dharma is Not Religion. And Nehru knew nothing about hindu dharma. He was a brown sahib.
Why are you including Gandhiji and Nehru in this? They formed a secular democratic state which is one of the world’s leading economies today.

After hearing this , I can only say that it is "Twice Told Tale" explained by a Genius scholar .Everyone must hear it because if a problem is highlighted by Sir Ishtiaq ahmed than there must be solution for it . he has identified the causes, reasons with evidence we must try to reach any good conclusion .Pakistan Zindabad !

First Hindu to give his life for Pakistan was Mahatma Gandhi 🙏
Yes yes he also stood for Khialfat movement which was happening 3000 km away from India in turkey .... Gandhi was a Hindu..... Can you tell me sir being a hindu what did he do for hindus in India which were with him standing and hindu population was 85 percent.... Which hindu movement did he support .... So Mahatma being a hindu was an anti Hindu and a pro Islamist.....
And pro towards whom..... Towards muslims who broke india with Muslim league.....

Muslim population in India in 1947 = 3 crore.

Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed is bright as always. His research is very well. What I am truly surprised is how well this program was conducted.
Obviously there would be differences in opinion, but overall program is well conducted and civilised.
Thank you again thank again!!! Beautiful discussion so peoples know the facts about history what I learned in school.
I hope and pray yours message will be blessings to all peoples. God bless more and more your efforts.
Salute to both intellectuals & scholars 🇮🇳💐
Sadly we don't have many 'intellectuals' in Pakistan and certainly not Dr Ishtiaq who just appeases the huge Indian population to sell his books and make a name for himself. Anybody can become a star by peddling pro India narrative and he is good example of this.
Dr I Ahmed is a intellectual gem.. His deep knowledge and research is evident. I wish there was a person of his calibre who could dispel the fake narrative around Nehru and his actions during the partition period and later as PM of India, just as he has helped to dislodge the fake narrative about true intentions of Jinah..
How many other such ‘gems’ have you heard or read?
Probably none!
This is perhaps the first time you have seen / heard such discussion.
It is more your ignorance than Ishtiaq Ahmed’s brilliance that makes him a gem for you.
Dr Purushottam agrawal has done such work in India
Sir you are a real political scientist because when you are doing dissection of history you are doing it without any emotion only based on logic that's all.

Yaar I am atheist. Abhi mai na hindu hu na muslim, but Indian hu. Abhi some people say that I can be an atheist and still be a Hindu as part of nirakar hinduism since you dont have to worry about the god but try to make sure to stack up good karma and follow you duty as a member of society as best and lead a good life as you please without hurting anyone. That is the closest religious philosophy I have but I dont even care about that and do as I please.
I bash both Hindus and Muslims and even atheists when they do illogical stuff. Thankfully being in India I do not fear it. I have discussed atheism with my Christian teachers, muslim friends and Hindu family. We still live together and they dont care. We still celebrate Diwali and Eid. that is the beauty of India. Are there clashes, ofc, when there are 1.5 billion people. Can we be better yes. Are we trying everyday, we are. Thats what matters.

Difference will be clear.
@@indiarocks5731 Hahaha. True that. The reason I came out of the whole religion thing was so I can think independently and not have to associate with rules and labels of any sect. I try to think as rationally I can and as you said doesn't really matter.

@@bharatkapoor4062 might be a reasonable/ plausible answer.
My respect for Gandhi and Nehru increased even more.
In 1946 when Gandhi came to Calcutta to pacify the city and stop the riots, the Muslim League goons left a dead cow in front of the house where he was staying. Within a day or two Suhrawardy came and asked for forgiveness from Gandhi. And eventually he did a rally with both the communities united. Muslims and Hindus returned back to their old neighbourhoods in Kolkata and in post 1947 Muslim League became a history in the city. As long as the Minar e Pakistan stands, Pakistanis would continue to disrespect and ignore the contributions of Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Bacha Khan, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lajpat Rai and many others. People who actually fought and sacrificed for the freedom of the subcontinent. They did not engage in cynical politics playing with the blood of the people like Mr Jinnah.

Allah proved him 72 hoor for saving millions of Muslims and responsible for the deaths of millions of kaffirs.
Ishtiaq sahb is such a gem who enlightened us by giving us the sight to look at this topic rationally otherwise we would have been lost in the concocted narrative, we are taught in our educational institutions.
Now, where Pakistan stands proves that this all episode was mere bullshit without having vision. I mean, how can you part a nation on the basis of a religion? What is happening now in Pak. is all the result of that mischievous act. These people (our so called leadership) were not worthy of given a small piece of land whom they granted this sacred piece of land to corrupt. Even a single of them was nowhere to be a leader to lead a country.
That's some way to summarize it. I always tell my closer ones about reality and visionlessness of both Jinnah and Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. The day we understand the real face of the two, Pakistan will sustain itself.
Can’t thank enough, you two stalwarts are helping us to see the light as light and sift history through true analysis.
Excellent discussion about Jinnah. Thank you all.
Very very informative session Well done to both the Drs🎉
Around 51% of today's India was British India.
Gandhi and Jinnah's Gujarat was by and large independent of British India.
So, how were these people leading parties like Congress and Muslim League when their land wasn't under British occupation?
How could someone like Jinnah end up as founder of Pakistan a land with which he had no connect?
Jinnah was a Shia Muslim. So, how could a Shia Muslim create a Sunni Pakistan ?
He was Imran Khan of the british.
Jinnah has saved Hindus , instead of feeding 30 crores of Muslims almost for free , we would have required to feed 70 crores. Thanks Jinnah. He should be honoured by Hindus
true boss...jinnah shud be awarded bharat ratna by our indian government given how visionary he was unlike our headless leadership of congress and gandhi
@@AbhishekChauhan-hc8od jinnah did favour to hindus.. Idiots Nehru Gandhi Destroyed Our future
Totally agree.. Had there not been a partition.... Hindustan would have become just like Pakistan
I do chastise anybody critisizing the two nation theory. I do beleive it was better for current day indians surely. It would be a mess to have everyone together.
Ambedkar told that this partition is never complete without complete transfer of muslim from India and hindu from Pakistan.........hindu from Pakistan was attached by muslim then Gandhiji told that don't need muslim of india go to Pakistan so that voilance can be stopped
It is hard to believe that this conversation took place in Islamabad.
Very very Objectively written book. Excellent discussion
Great source of unbiased knowledge and information
Dr Ishraq should not forget he is in Pakistan...when he is speaking this...not in Sweden...May God protect him from radicles.
Millions of Indian Muslims refused to follow Mr. Jinnah and decided to stay in India. Muslims who migrated to Pakistan filed false claims of property and were allotted large properties owned by Hindus and Sikhs who fled to India. It was one of the greatest frauds in human history. Urdu speaking muhajirs captured bureaucracy and big business houses in Pakistan. For them, the new country was a land of milk and honey. They looted and plundered Pakistan and then left Pakistan to settle in Europe, Canada, and America. That is the story in a nutshell.
Feeling Sorry for Pashtoon, Sindhi and Baloch Hindus who became victim of Liaquats greed 😢😢
Dr Ishtiaque Ahmad is certainly one of the greatest and honest authors from this sub-continent, I have read his other book on Punjab’s partition too.
Frm Pak🕊Dr Ishtiq Ahmed is fair & upright…a good human being. Wish he was invited by Pak TV channels & his enlightened views would have been reached masses…wish.
Thanks Jinnah for creating Pakistan. Although my ancestors faced a lot of difficulties to run away from their Punjab. When I hear Pakistanis staying there, it’s harrowing to see which world they are living in. We develop IT, they develop in terror.
Your comment shows how your media has brainwashed you and how much hatred you have in your heart
Excellent. I am a bengali from India originally my forefather from east bengal. I respect opinion of Dr Ahmed as it is researched based book and his opinion. Let us proceed for peace, enoughh of violence we have seen in the past. Stop that hatred. Thanks to blackhole for organising this discussion.
I don't agree with the negativity in this talk. Yet, I wholeheartedly agree with the desire of peaceful coexistence you have mentioned. Empty sloganeering like India was partitioned by the foreigners or more Pakistan-like countries will emerge needs to be given up. The welcome developments are that India of today will not be colonized in the foreseeable future and the fact that part of subcontinent Muslims have a homeland of their own are positive enough to build on. I wish more people had views like yours. If that was the case, India would not have worked night and day to dismember Pakistan in 1971 and there were no wars, nor such high defense spending. I would say that Pakistani people bear more goodwill about peace than their Indian counterparts. This is not a big virtue because someone has to be more honest than the other in this mindless rivalry. So, we are just lucky to be on the right side of honesty.
