I am Pakistani and so happy to be living in Pakistan not for economics but for the blessings of having a country. These talkers live outside Pakistan and don’t understand the feelings of local Pakistanis. Good English. Good degrees but no knowledge of the feelings of poor Pakistanis who still Iove Pakistan and Jinnah
Ayesha Jalal is highly overrated Historian. Her findings are baseless that's the reason why she doesn't dare to confront Dr Ishtiyaq.. Her blind faith towards Mohd Ali Jinnah has lead to distortion of History.

It is fruitless to debate who caused the partition. We, in India have grown up with elders cursing Mr Jinnah for partitioning India. People of current generation, those who are in mid 40s or early 50s and even youngsters strongly believe Mr Jinnah was a great man with ultimate vision. People in Pakistan consider him saviour but we think he did greatest favour to Hindus than Muslims by dividing India. Had Mr Jinnah not been there, India would have been hell for Hindus with mobs lynching every other Hindu for fictitious blasphemy. 2 nation theory is the greatest piece of modern mankind history. Pakistan complied with it 100% but unfortunate part is we let him down by not mirroring our neighbour on this non compliance. So, we are eternally thankful to this great man called Mohammed Ali Jinnah.
She is the one who have not understood even an iota of history but blaming whole world for not understanding history. Jinah was a British agent otherwise Pakistan was not created artificially.

Yes, both... 💯 Jinnah played the Islam card & the British used him to their benefit .. He got a moth eaten Pakistan 🇵🇰 as the Brits kept the better part of the bargain However, Jinnah's conduct post independence as G G brought to sharp relief his deeply autocratic mindset. The uncalled for dismissal of khan sahib government in NWFP was the first unconstitutional & undemocratic act .. It set the ball rolling for subsequent autocratic & unrepresentative governments in Pakistan 🇵🇰 Moreover, an autocratic government suited the British perfectly After all, Pakistan was meant to serve the imperial Anglo-American agenda in the subcontinent History bears Pakistan role post independence in the region, similar to Israel, serving its masters well in the Middle East. Both are strange (estranged) twins midwifed by the imperial paymasters for the same purpose Wish Ayesha Jalal did not sweep history under the carpet to justify her thesis she obstinately defends..though many subsequent historians ( like Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed et al) have totally debunked her narrow narrative on the making of Pakistan She often forgets the nuances & abstract analysis of history ... which is a limitation in historiography....👇🏻❗

Dr. Ayesha Jalal absolutely nailed it in this interview! She breaks down the history of partition and Jinnah’s role with so much clarity and depth. Loved how she tackled all those myths, like Jinnah being a British agent or partition being all his doing. Her take on provincial politics, the Congress, and the challenges of federalism really puts things in perspective. She doesn't shy away from calling out the oversimplified narratives we often hear. Such a solid mix of history, context, and straight-up logic-this is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand Pakistan's creation and what led to it! 👏🔥
Bangladesh was never curved out of Pakistan to establish the rule of law and social justice, improve and uplift the economic and social conditions of impoverished masses of the country. It was created for the elites who felt utterly disadvantaged in every fields in comparison to their compatriots in the west, particularly Punjabis. Similarly, Pakistan was never created on the notion to improve the lots of impoverished, uneducated Muslim population of the subcontinent in order to provide them social justice. It was also not created to establish an Islamic state for Muslims either. It was created for the interests of Muslim elites who were finding it difficult to compete with Hindu elites at the time and was fearful of future domination by these Hindu elites. Now, is there any difference between a poor Hindu, poor Pakistani, or a poor Bangali? They are all in the same conditions with no dignity and are treated like domestic servants by their respective elites. It's an elite capture of power in these countries, who in the guise of politicians, bureaucrats, military, judges, landlords, and businessmen enjoying all the benefits of these so-called independent countries, like the colonial British rulers used to enjoy in the past. When two zamindars fight for lands, their lathials fight physically, not themselves. Similarly, for fulfilling their own aspirations, these elites tacitly ignited violence, planting religious intolerances in the minds of the general people, encouraging them to fight against one another. The general masses were used as fodders for their cannons to fulfil their cherished aspirations in establishing their dominance over the echelons of powers in these newly created countries. Some may express their feelings through poems, songs and writings, but nothing is going to happen or change unless the general masses get up from their deep sleep and throw these elites along with the inherited colonial systems in the Indian ocean to establish a new order, new beginning for these countries. Thanks.
Ayesha's intellectual insincerity stems from her inferiority complex. She is trying to put a non-existent visionary halo around Jinnah's head. For instance, look at the logic of seeking the division of the subcontinent on the name of religion, but also demanding united Punjab and Bengal in the name of language. Ayesha's works were laid to rest by Pakistani scholars like Farzana Sheikh and Ishtiaq Ahmed. One can , however, understand Rumi's endeavour as a typical Pakistani "liberal"'s effort to prop up heroes for a country that is deprived of visionary leadership !
She is now a slave to what she has said before in her books. She is different to Indian historians who do not fear critising their heroes. If Jinnah was not a slave to the British, how come he did not ever go to jail while others did. What is the contribution of Jinnah in the freedom struggle of the subcontinent while he was quick to take a chunk of the land when it became evident. Nothing has changed about Pakistanis, claim everything, contribute nothing. Did Nehru forced Jinnah to takeover the state of Kalat/Balochistan? Shame!
Illogical jalal. Jinnah asking partition for muslims is cute. But partition of punjab and bengal is bad. Jinnah abusing and demeaning hindus is great service, but others addressing Interest of Hindus is communal. How to argue with illogical bunch who don't care for realities.

Show me one statement where Quaid E Azam abuse or demean Hindus and yes this right Punjab and Bengal should be given fully to Pakistan because we didn't ask Hindus and Sikhs to leave they left by their own choice no body forced them out
@@HassanAli-xl8kr "we didn't ask Hindus and Sikhs to leave they left by their own choice no body forced them out" - what a joke - read Ishtiaq Ahmed's book. In fact see Rakesh Vaid's interview on Federal Post. Why do you lie so much about all the killings you have done
You can keep giving it the colour you want but partition was one single event that turned the entire South Asia into a communal hotspot and it remains so to this day. I agree that the position of Muslim elite would have dropped a few notches in the independent India, but common Muslims wouldn't have suffered much. I also agree that there isn't just one factor that led to partition, so blaming it all on Jinnah isn't right. And I don't think Pakistan is doing that badly because it has become what it always wanted to. It wasn't created for it's people but to keep the nostalgia of Islamic warriors and rulers alive and Pakistani army today is just carrying on with what many Islamic invaders did in mediaeval India. I just feel sad for the people of subcontinent because all this hatred and bitterness perhaps could have been avoided.
The dichotomy in her arguments that while Jinnah was reacting to the circumstances prevalent, but the current government is not. She is clutching at straws to justify her lifelong treatise on Jinnah. Reminds me of Romila Thapar.
@@FarwahKhan650 jinnah insisted on dividing all of India except Punjab and Bengal where Muslims were in majority.How will Nehru can agree to that.jinnahs communal appeal made him leader whereas Nehru was a leader of all communities

Creation of pakistan was a historic blunder done by a materialistic goon who was hungry for power... Jinnah was a fraud and British agent.... Ate pork... Smoked... Drank wine... Who eloped with his friends 16 year old daughter and if still call him QUAIDAYAZAM it is not my fault
Ms Ayesha Jalal conveniently ignores hundreds of Jinnah's speeches since March 1940-47 when Jinnah invoked Hindu-Muslim division and demanded partition relentlessly.
Jinnah, being the sole spokesman, is also the most important factor responsible for the mess that Pakistan is mired in. The project itself was flawed and the outcome an inevitable one!
islam is the way of life not religion, do not consider the Islam as the majority of Muslims in subcontinent practicing. just study the quraan and the life of Muhammad the last messenger of Allah.
*There are many reasons for sinking ship of Pakistan's economy.* Some of them are:- Enmity with India. Unaffordable wars with India. Unaffordable Arms race with India. Unnecessary importance to kashmir issue. Constantly sending, facilitating training, supporting terrorists against India for subversive activities in Indian territories.. Instigating separatist elements by funding them in Indian kashmir. Proxy wars with India by relentlessly sending terrorists. Inability of Pakistan to dismantle terrorists training camps on Pakistani soil against India, Iran and Afghanistan. President of USA's decision to stop US financial and military aid to Pakistan. Rising inflation, rising prices of Petroleum products. Devaluation/ depreciation of Pakistani currency. Pakistan rupees continue to fall against USD. 280-300 rupees per USD PM Narendra Modi’s successful diplomatic mission and foreign policy to alienate Pakistan at global level. Wrong/faulty monetory policy, increased interest rate up to 12-20% Pakistan IN/OUT in the Gray list of FATF. Permanent membership of IMF loan. Over and unnecessary financial dependance on US and China. Inability of fiscal development. Lack of industrial development and infrastructure. Lack of the construction of new dams, irrigation,etc. Lack of agrarian development. Inability to construct railway network and road network. Ever growing unemployment. Illiteracy and religious fundamentalism/madness. Uncertain future of democracy. Pakistani Army's interference in government policies. Frequent Army's coups to dethrone elected prime Ministers. Unfeasible and unaffordable project of CPEC i.e. China Pakistan Economic Corridors. China’s constant growing loan. There might be many more reasons of sinking Pakistan's economy and it's herculean task for Pakistan to come out of this financial crisis. It seems that the ship named Pakistan is going to sink into the unfathomable sea of loan of China.
good that Pakistan happened and a lot of people moved away from India. Got it free without any major contribution to the independence struggle. Do they even have any freedom fighters ?
1. Dr. Jalal is completely clueless about the dynamics of electoral politics in India and as a result gives communal color Muslim non representation in parliament. Obviously Dr. Jalal doesn't know that since the first election in 1950 Muslims always voted en block to defeat BJP/ JanSangh. Till 2014 Muslims had a veto on who can rule. No political party could win any election without Muslim support. Modi in 2014 consolidated the divided Hindu votes and won without Muslims. Now to expect Modi to give a share in power to those who perpetually vote to defeat him is the height of ignorance for a historian. Dr. Jalal may be foremost in partition history but completely at sea in contemporary Indian politics.
Her other argument that the British had no geopolitical interest in division of India too needs scrutiny . Many historians and intellectuals now believe that the decision to partion India was post WW2 decision by British and American. Almost the entire Congress leadership was left leaning socialist deeply influenced by the USSR. China was already a communist. They feared that a huge country like India joining communist block. This would have a domino effect in Asia. They needed a pro west buffer state between india and Russia. Here the geopolitical interest of UK and USA coincided with Jinnah s ambitions. The naivety or ignorance of the congress leaders about the reality of geopolitics and how superpowers think and act to protect their national interest is a crucial factor along with the provincial politics Dr Jalal talks about.
I think you didn't listen to the interview carefully. You stated that Modi consolidated the Hindu vote and won without any Muslim votes. That goes to show the communal aspects of Indian politics, isn't it? And if things are like that now, imagine what it must have been like in Pre-Partition days. There was an attempt to sideline Muslims back then, which led to the creation of Pakistan, and that's how things are today. For India's largest party to totally isolate a very large minority cannot possibly be good. We've seen what that leads to in WWII Germany, Israel, and other places.
@@QabilAGhor, you don't have to imagine anything. More than half of muslim.population stayed back in India despite partition. This one fact is enough to say there was little anti muslim sentiment in India.
@@supreetdeshpande9602 That's because Muslims in India were divided. Those who wanted Pakistan, got it. Those who were content being Indians stayed in India.
Raza sahib i think you are a former civil servant and then quit your job well i do not know the reasons but being a pashtun i adore gandhi . Nehru more to jinnah you are well read and lady you invited also well read but we lost in the name of islamic state we have no cultural identity. we are a failed state. our civil service which is the back bone of the state is crumbling please i just want to say people are killing for electricity bill was that the welfare islamic state jinnah did what he want? but look at the present piece of of your country those who are well-skilled. well-read. are leaving the country your best brains are leaving the if that was pakistan jinnah created on the blood bath of million of innocent people then we only pray for for god the foundations of this state is shaking on 14th of august we celebrate our 77th independence but do we have any any shame at what cost /price we called ourselves independent state thanks and regards
What a hypocrisy first jinnah asked for pakistan but opposes division of punjab and bengal because for him punjabi is punjabi first and bengali is bengali first otherwise whole bengali punjabi hindus and sikhs were pershied
Ayesha jalal has been challenged by Prof ishtiaq Ahmed about her thesis on Jinnah. Unfortunately Ayesha has not taken the challenge, because she is not competent enough.
As a historian or a critic, it is the easiest job to term Pakistan as a "moth-eaten or truncated". Put yourself in Jinnah's shoes and just imagine what he achieved and that you are sitting in Jinnah's Pakistan, notwithstanding the fact that it was taken over by the establishment. It goes without saying, whenever a dream is translated into reality, it is not necessary that it materializes the same way one dreams about it.
Partition was necessary not due to hindu muslim issue, it was imposed by the british to keep the casteism alive and keep India divided, weak and remote control the Indian economy forever behind the facade of parliamentary democrazy.
Really divide the muslim population in 3 parts if there was no partition they would have a larger stake in undivided india but now pakistan is an example of what happens when you concentrate all extremist in one place that's why this lady is in america
Well prof. Jalal, if muslim league can demand for partition of india on the basis of 2 nation theory than hindu mahasabha had every right to demand partition of punjab and bengal. Mahasabha's demand didnt came out of blue.
@@bhavinsampat590 - just by her elite articulate English she is trying to sell her narrative. Wont happen in today where the World is burning in Muslim Separatism across Europe now.
The First Question is Does JINHA was a Muslims ???? He just converted Few Year Back before Partition . He wanted his name to be founder & Indian were already occupied with Gandhi and Nehru , So he Converted and created a Pakistan ..Which is now a Beggar State and More insecure state than SOMALIA
Aligarh ke laundon ne Pakistan bana kar diya tha Jinnah ko.aur khud yahin rah gaye the. Kanpur me British Agent Jinnah ne kaha tha 2crore Indian muslims ko pakistan ke liye qurban karna pade to wo bhi karenge...A jalal ko to maloom hona chahiye. Dr Ishtiyaq ko hi padh leti. islam ki laboratory banate banate jahan aa gaye hain wahiin rahen. Hume ab kisi pakistan ki koi chahat nahi.
what kind of interview is this Raza Rumi is basically swaliowing what ever garbage she is spewing , what about prof Ishtiak Ahmed , prof Venkat dhulipala , prof Hoodbhoy
This discussion is fruitful. And I find Ayesha Jalal more pragmatic and her approach to contextualize and appreciate history in a holistic manner is laudable.
Sir & Madam there is a side of Mr Jinnah which nobody dare look at. In the public domain Mr Jinnah is either a hero or villain depending upon which side of the border one is at. Mr Jinnah was also ruthless notwithstanding his total commitment towards achieving Pakistan. No amount of loss of lives and bloodshed ever mattered to him.
Well said...The wannabe goras with the propaganda factories like harvard and oxfords...trying to portray themselves superior to fundamentalist hindus or fundamentalist muslims..these not so closeted islam and hinduism haters arebnothing but pimps and prostitutes of westernism. muslims and hindus have some unfinished business of kicking out goras and vestiges of colonialism of these black brown shudar british/Americans.
@@parjanyashukla176 She is married to the guy, and she made her Bengali Sister-in-law Sharmila Bose write a book to underplay the suffering of Bangladesh casualties in 1971'...
Sir, Prof Jalal has a consistent narrative. No dispute on that, as a historian this is what she finds. And yet the roots are subsequent to extinguished Mughal Sultanate in 1857.
Jinnah was a diplomat, a statesman and a politician. A true politician always keeps open his channels. That's why he got the subcontinent partitioned with his legal and political acumen, without the power of sword or gun.
I'm not surprised to see that the bharatiya are so concerned about our national narrative while misplacing their own in the process. People are more practical rather than manifestations of doctrines or theories. Barrister M.A Jinnah was like any other person a complex personality. On top of that he was political creature and a tactician who was extremely focused and geared to achieve his objectives. We all have contradictions within us, the synthesis of which gives birth new contradictions. And that the cycle of growth and progress. We should not always judge people by what they say but rather what they do and achieve for themselves and others. Pakistan 🇵🇰 Zindabaad ❤
@@SaurabhSingh-zv1kf I absolutely agree. It saved Hinduism and Sikh religions. Otherwise, Muslims would have eventually converted lot more people to Islam. Abdul Kalam Azad was not totally wrong that all of India would become Muslim if there is no Partition.
India did Islam preaching for 50 years, and provided the highest post in parliament cabinet but unfortunately most of Islamist ministers silently serve Islam than India. A very recent example is the former VP of India, Mr. Mohammad Hamid Ansari who failed to integrate with the secular soul of society. Pakistan is the only cause for the divide in Indian society who is still working on to give thousands cuts using hardcode Islamist minds in India also called slipper cells. Majority of peaceful Indian Muslim who have the following nation's first policy are progressing hand in hand with the rest of society which includes micro minorities like Parsi, Jain, etc. Indian society elects their representatives through voting so logically parliament is collective consciousness of society including Muslim population. So let's not cry for missing representation of Muslim brotherhood. Power was the central issue for Fight between Jinnah and Nehru. Jinnah once said that both brothers (himself and Nehru) will unite again once Power deal (partition) has been sorted out. That's the reason Jinnah and his descent legally fought in Indian courts to retain his Mumbai based luxurious house to be able to spend vacation in India. Nehru also advocated to give away house to Jinnah but society opposed and court case is going on till date. Unfortunately none of the sides filled criminal cases against Jinnah and Nehru for killing millions of people on both sides for their power struggle in form of partition. Many Indian corporates have Muslim CEOs based on their Education and Experience because it's an inclusive society. On other hand Pakistan has constitutionally blocked the entry of all non muslims in highest positions in society, and that should have been points of discussion as well.
Nobody in Pakistan against the creation of Pakistan only people like Mr Rumi sitting Infront of you do use ro oppose the idea and partition of Pakistan but since the advent of modi in 2014 they have change their stance we are proud of Pakistan and Quaid E Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Looks like she trying to argue congress policies pushed jinnah towards demand for partition. But events suggest that he was alwsys toying with the idea and just looked for excuses to vehemently push it. Had he been committed to remain united, some compromising ways could always been found. He did not want to compromise.
Then why your country creat mess with us Kashmiri language culture religion writing scripts are similar to what is now Pakistan and strategically it's important for Pakistan Pakistani rivers flow from there they are unsafe in India hands India can divert our rivers to Rajasthan.
@@Amazing-Voicesi am saying by creating Pakistan he has done a favour for us..if partition wouldn't happend India would have been in the muslim dominance ..many reports say that till 2050 India will be the largest Muslim country in the world .if partition wouldn't happen then Pakistanis and bangladseshi muslim would have been living here also..Jinnah hindu dominance theory was utter noncence the propaganda which he spread . And yes religion same hone se culture same ni hote ..who says to u that kashmiri language and culture are same as Pakistanis..apne apne mulk me sare subo ke mukhtalif culture ko khtm karke sirf islam ko thopa hai....
21:34 so that what is all about . Jinnah was jealous that Gandhi "stole his show " So all the mayhem of partition , the multiple wars , lingering conflicts till date all owe their origins to Jinnah's SHOW
Dr Jalal and Prof Ishtiak Ahmed hate each other. They are often at each other's throats. Ayesha Jalal doesn't believe that the professor is a historian. He in turn finds holes in her thesis.
I think she is fair in saying Congress didn't agree to Jinnah's demand for separate Muslim electorates, but where she goes into speculative tangents is when she says that this was because of "Congress not agreeing at the behest of Hindu mahasabha". I think the reason Congress rejected Jinnah's suggestion was based on a tenet that's the cornerstone of Indian democracy that electorates won't be defined based on religious or communal grounds. And the moth eaten version that India and erstwhile Congress has to chew was a choice between communal electorates and partition for those who were adamant on that. We chose the latter to prevent any future divisions.
STUPIDITY is the only word that can define the person who is saying at 25:14 that "perpetuating the colonial system with it's racial structure which have been used against Muslims , against Dalits by the upper castes " Isn't the person aware that India has had Muslim and Dalit Presidents as well as Millionaires apart from so many other fields ?
JINNAH was an excellent lawyer, when he started loosing his argument of MUSLIMS IN DANGER he swiftly changed IT to ISLAM IN DANGER AS A GOOD LAWYER WOULD DO, he was neither a STATESMAN NOR A GOOD LEADER, only a good Lawyer WHO WON THE CASE FOR PAKISTAN BY HOOK OR CROOK
I think history should be present in a way the history is shaped! What he wanted is not in the current context. His speeches telling a lot! If Pakistani is solely dependent on individual history then the events shouldn’t be ignored to fulfil our own desires… none of the Pakistani historian provided a plan events without speculating! It’s so strange
The only question which always comes to my mind and bothers me because there is no reasonable answer, is why Britishers dividend India. Every other thing, though most of it is also important, is secondary.
The country lacks a historical consciousness, its always individual leaders who have been the center of undo focus. The video explains the importance of understanding the historical context surrounding Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the creation of Pakistan, which is often overshadowed by an undue focus on individual figures.
How come Jinnah was never prisoned by the British ? Nehru spent more than nine years in prison . Gandhi , Patel all were put behind bars . Dr Jalal is only doing a poor white wash job .
Watch our other videos on the channel please. We have covered these and many other topics. Also a detailed series on various states of India by Dr Yaqoob Bangash also coming soon.
According to Jinnah himself contribution for making Pakistan are only Jinnah & his typewriter only, nobody could have created Pakistan as per Jinnah argument.
Salute to the host for showing tremendous patience. Dr Jalal must have plethora of knowledge but she needs to learn the art of courtesy and conversation for not to cut other person speaking. I lost interest half way through the video due to her discourtesy.
Thanks Jinnah for removing cancer from India but due stupidity of our leaders, we failed in population exchange.. Muslims can't leave with any non Muxlim due to teaching of Muhmd. They cannot live with in them selves.
The problem with nri is they want to improve the country without living in it .nobody asked punjabis what they wanted punjab suffered the most and still are suffering more pakistani side less so on i dian side
I am a mental health specialist, you should begin with getting assessed. The many Slumdogs barking here proves their inability to engage in a proper dialogue, but rather crash in on others' debates.
She never got tenure at ivy league colleges like Columbia or Brown. they thought her books post Sole Spokesman were below average. She teaches at a third rate university. Only Pakistan gives her attention. academics dont take her seriously
She is only emphasizing the symptoms but not what led to those symptoms historically and the effect of Marxism in the subcontinent from the early 19th century. All those Muslims fair share is an excuse for the grand theory in which Jinnah was played into by the British. For Jinnah, it was a great opportunity.
I am Pakistani and so happy to be living in Pakistan not for economics but for the blessings of having a country.
These talkers live outside Pakistan and don’t understand the feelings of local Pakistanis. Good English. Good degrees but no knowledge of the feelings of poor Pakistanis who still Iove Pakistan and Jinnah
Ayesha Jalal is highly overrated Historian. Her findings are baseless that's the reason why she doesn't dare to confront Dr Ishtiyaq..
Her blind faith towards Mohd Ali Jinnah has lead to distortion of History.
Don't fall for ishtiaq words just because he criticised jinnah and milarity he is good that guy is hidden Islamist

It is fruitless to debate who caused the partition. We, in India have grown up with elders cursing Mr Jinnah for partitioning India. People of current generation, those who are in mid 40s or early 50s and even youngsters strongly believe Mr Jinnah was a great man with ultimate vision. People in Pakistan consider him saviour but we think he did greatest favour to Hindus than Muslims by dividing India. Had Mr Jinnah not been there, India would have been hell for Hindus with mobs lynching every other Hindu for fictitious blasphemy. 2 nation theory is the greatest piece of modern mankind history. Pakistan complied with it 100% but unfortunate part is we let him down by not mirroring our neighbour on this non compliance. So, we are eternally thankful to this great man called Mohammed Ali Jinnah.
She is the one who have not understood even an iota of history but blaming whole world for not understanding history. Jinah was a British agent otherwise Pakistan was not created artificially.

At Independence, India had intellectuals and Pakistan had paigambars
even today, ayesha jalal is a paigambar not an intellectual
Yes, both... 💯
Jinnah played the Islam card & the British used him to their benefit ..
He got a moth eaten Pakistan 🇵🇰 as the Brits kept the better part of the bargain
However, Jinnah's conduct post independence as G G brought to sharp relief his deeply autocratic mindset.
The uncalled for dismissal of khan sahib government in NWFP was the first unconstitutional & undemocratic act ..
It set the ball rolling for subsequent autocratic & unrepresentative governments in Pakistan 🇵🇰
Moreover, an autocratic government suited the British perfectly
After all, Pakistan was meant to serve the imperial Anglo-American agenda in the subcontinent
History bears Pakistan role post independence in the region, similar to Israel, serving its masters well in the Middle East. Both are strange (estranged) twins midwifed by the imperial paymasters for the same purpose
Wish Ayesha Jalal did not sweep history under the carpet to justify her thesis she obstinately defends..though many subsequent historians ( like Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed et al)
have totally debunked her narrow narrative on the making of Pakistan
She often forgets the nuances & abstract analysis of history ... which is a limitation in historiography....👇🏻❗

Dr. Ayesha Jalal absolutely nailed it in this interview! She breaks down the history of partition and Jinnah’s role with so much clarity and depth. Loved how she tackled all those myths, like Jinnah being a British agent or partition being all his doing. Her take on provincial politics, the Congress, and the challenges of federalism really puts things in perspective. She doesn't shy away from calling out the oversimplified narratives we often hear. Such a solid mix of history, context, and straight-up logic-this is a must-watch for anyone trying to understand Pakistan's creation and what led to it! 👏🔥
Bangladesh was never curved out of Pakistan to establish the rule of law and social justice, improve and uplift the economic and social conditions of impoverished masses of the country. It was created for the elites who felt utterly disadvantaged in every fields in comparison to their compatriots in the west, particularly Punjabis. Similarly, Pakistan was never created on the notion to improve the lots of impoverished, uneducated Muslim population of the subcontinent in order to provide them social justice. It was also not created to establish an Islamic state for Muslims either. It was created for the interests of Muslim elites who were finding it difficult to compete with Hindu elites at the time and was fearful of future domination by these Hindu elites. Now, is there any difference between a poor Hindu, poor Pakistani, or a poor Bangali? They are all in the same conditions with no dignity and are treated like domestic servants by their respective elites. It's an elite capture of power in these countries, who in the guise of politicians, bureaucrats, military, judges, landlords, and businessmen enjoying all the benefits of these so-called independent countries, like the colonial British rulers used to enjoy in the past. When two zamindars fight for lands, their lathials fight physically, not themselves. Similarly, for fulfilling their own aspirations, these elites tacitly ignited violence, planting religious intolerances in the minds of the general people, encouraging them to fight against one another. The general masses were used as fodders for their cannons to fulfil their cherished aspirations in establishing their dominance over the echelons of powers in these newly created countries. Some may express their feelings through poems, songs and writings, but nothing is going to happen or change unless the general masses get up from their deep sleep and throw these elites along with the inherited colonial systems in the Indian ocean to establish a new order, new beginning for these countries.
Thanks.
Ayesha's intellectual insincerity stems from her inferiority complex. She is trying to put a non-existent visionary halo around Jinnah's head. For instance, look at the logic of seeking the division of the subcontinent on the name of religion, but also demanding united Punjab and Bengal in the name of language. Ayesha's works were laid to rest by Pakistani scholars like Farzana Sheikh and Ishtiaq Ahmed. One can , however, understand Rumi's endeavour as a typical Pakistani "liberal"'s effort to prop up heroes for a country that is deprived of visionary leadership !
She is now a slave to what she has said before in her books. She is different to Indian historians who do not fear critising their heroes. If Jinnah was not a slave to the British, how come he did not ever go to jail while others did. What is the contribution of Jinnah in the freedom struggle of the subcontinent while he was quick to take a chunk of the land when it became evident. Nothing has changed about Pakistanis, claim everything, contribute nothing.
Did Nehru forced Jinnah to takeover the state of Kalat/Balochistan?
Shame!
Illogical jalal. Jinnah asking partition for muslims is cute. But partition of punjab and bengal is bad.
Jinnah abusing and demeaning hindus is great service, but others addressing Interest of Hindus is communal. How to argue with illogical bunch who don't care for realities.

Show me one statement where Quaid E Azam abuse or demean Hindus and yes this right Punjab and Bengal should be given fully to Pakistan because we didn't ask Hindus and Sikhs to leave they left by their own choice no body forced them out
@@HassanAli-xl8kr "we didn't ask Hindus and Sikhs to leave they left by their own choice no body forced them out" - what a joke - read Ishtiaq Ahmed's book. In fact see Rakesh Vaid's interview on Federal Post. Why do you lie so much about all the killings you have done
You can keep giving it the colour you want but partition was one single event that turned the entire South Asia into a communal hotspot and it remains so to this day. I agree that the position of Muslim elite would have dropped a few notches in the independent India, but common Muslims wouldn't have suffered much. I also agree that there isn't just one factor that led to partition, so blaming it all on Jinnah isn't right. And I don't think Pakistan is doing that badly because it has become what it always wanted to. It wasn't created for it's people but to keep the nostalgia of Islamic warriors and rulers alive and Pakistani army today is just carrying on with what many Islamic invaders did in mediaeval India. I just feel sad for the people of subcontinent because all this hatred and bitterness perhaps could have been avoided.
If Dr. Ayesh recommend one book by Mr. Jina where he put his thoughts I would agree with her all arguments about Jina
She is jinnah defender, whereas it was jinnah"s Communal politics that lead to Disaster in punjab and Bengal.Her thesis are UTTER GARBAGE
The dichotomy in her arguments that while Jinnah was reacting to the circumstances prevalent, but the current government is not. She is clutching at straws to justify her lifelong treatise on Jinnah. Reminds me of Romila Thapar.

Who eloped with his friends 16 year old daughter and if still call him QUAIDAYAZAM it is not my fault
Ms Ayesha Jalal conveniently ignores hundreds of Jinnah's speeches since March 1940-47 when Jinnah invoked Hindu-Muslim division and demanded partition relentlessly.
Jinnah, being the sole spokesman, is also the most important factor responsible for the mess that Pakistan is mired in. The project itself was flawed and the outcome an inevitable one!
A hundred years from now, Islam, Christianity and Hinduism, etc all die and we all can live together happily
Good dreamer😂😂
Islam will be the only religion
islam is the way of life not religion, do not consider the Islam as the majority of Muslims in subcontinent practicing. just study the quraan and the life of Muhammad the last messenger of Allah.
*There are many reasons for sinking ship of Pakistan's economy.* Some of them are:-
Enmity with India.
Unaffordable wars with India.

Unnecessary importance to kashmir issue.
Constantly sending, facilitating training, supporting terrorists against India for subversive activities in Indian territories..
Instigating separatist elements by funding them in Indian kashmir.
Proxy wars with India by relentlessly sending terrorists.
Inability of Pakistan to dismantle terrorists training camps on Pakistani soil against India, Iran and Afghanistan.
President of USA's decision to stop US financial and military aid to Pakistan.
Rising inflation, rising prices of Petroleum products.
Devaluation/ depreciation of Pakistani currency.
Pakistan rupees continue to fall against USD. 280-300 rupees per USD
PM Narendra Modi’s successful diplomatic mission and foreign policy to alienate Pakistan at global level.
Wrong/faulty monetory policy, increased interest rate up to 12-20%
Pakistan IN/OUT in the Gray list of FATF.
Permanent membership of IMF loan.
Over and unnecessary financial dependance on US and China.
Inability of fiscal development.
Lack of industrial development and infrastructure.
Lack of the construction of new dams, irrigation,etc.
Lack of agrarian development.
Inability to construct railway network and road network.
Ever growing unemployment.
Illiteracy and religious fundamentalism/madness.
Uncertain future of democracy.
Pakistani Army's interference in government policies.
Frequent Army's coups to dethrone elected prime Ministers.
Unfeasible and unaffordable project of CPEC i.e. China Pakistan Economic Corridors.
China’s constant growing loan. There might be many more reasons of sinking Pakistan's economy and it's herculean task for Pakistan to come out of this financial crisis. It seems that the ship named Pakistan is going to sink into the unfathomable sea of loan of China.

1. Dr. Jalal is completely clueless about the dynamics of electoral politics in India and as a result gives communal color Muslim non representation in parliament. Obviously Dr. Jalal doesn't know that since the first election in 1950 Muslims always voted en block to defeat BJP/ JanSangh. Till 2014 Muslims had a veto on who can rule. No political party could win any election without Muslim support. Modi in 2014 consolidated the divided Hindu votes and won without Muslims. Now to expect Modi to give a share in power to those who perpetually vote to defeat him is the height of ignorance for a historian. Dr. Jalal may be foremost in partition history but completely at sea in contemporary Indian politics.
Her other argument that the British had no geopolitical interest in division of India too needs scrutiny .
Many historians and intellectuals now believe that the decision to partion India was post WW2 decision by British and American. Almost the entire Congress leadership was left leaning socialist deeply influenced by the USSR. China was already a communist. They feared that a huge country like India joining communist block. This would have a domino effect in Asia. They needed a pro west buffer state between india and Russia. Here the geopolitical interest of UK and USA coincided with Jinnah s ambitions. The naivety or ignorance of the congress leaders about the reality of geopolitics and how superpowers think and act to protect their national interest is a crucial factor along with the provincial politics Dr Jalal talks about.
I think you didn't listen to the interview carefully. You stated that Modi consolidated the Hindu vote and won without any Muslim votes. That goes to show the communal aspects of Indian politics, isn't it? And if things are like that now, imagine what it must have been like in Pre-Partition days. There was an attempt to sideline Muslims back then, which led to the creation of Pakistan, and that's how things are today. For India's largest party to totally isolate a very large minority cannot possibly be good. We've seen what that leads to in WWII Germany, Israel, and other places.
honestly, at this point i feel I'm smarter than jalal in my arguments. new wave can interview me for counterpoints lol

Ayesha jalal has been challenged by Prof ishtiaq Ahmed about her thesis on Jinnah. Unfortunately Ayesha has not taken the challenge, because she is not competent enough.
Prof ishtiaq Ahmed reflected on scholar Nasim Yousaf thoughts
She has no answers. @Billumian47 Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed exposed her.
As a historian or a critic, it is the easiest job to term Pakistan as a "moth-eaten or truncated". Put yourself in Jinnah's shoes and just imagine what he achieved and that you are sitting in Jinnah's Pakistan, notwithstanding the fact that it was taken over by the establishment. It goes without saying, whenever a dream is translated into reality, it is not necessary that it materializes the same way one dreams about it.
Jinnah himself called it a moth eaten and truncated Pakistan.
@rumsha_khalid Please give the exact reference of Jinnah's Speech.
Partition was necessary not due to hindu muslim issue, it was imposed by the british to keep the casteism alive and keep India divided, weak and remote control the Indian economy forever behind the facade of parliamentary democrazy.
Really divide the muslim population in 3 parts if there was no partition they would have a larger stake in undivided india but now pakistan is an example of what happens when you concentrate all extremist in one place that's why this lady is in america
Well prof. Jalal, if muslim league can demand for partition of india on the basis of 2 nation theory than hindu mahasabha had every right to demand partition of punjab and bengal. Mahasabha's demand didnt came out of blue.

She is a prime example of why Pakistan was created,a false concept of Muslim superiority
what kind of interview is this Raza Rumi is basically swaliowing what ever garbage she is spewing , what about prof Ishtiak Ahmed , prof Venkat dhulipala , prof Hoodbhoy
This discussion is fruitful. And I find Ayesha Jalal more pragmatic and her approach to contextualize and appreciate history in a holistic manner is laudable.
Why did not all muslims in India follow Pakistani dreams and stayed in India even after voting for muslims league.
Sir & Madam there is a side of Mr Jinnah which nobody dare look at.
In the public domain Mr Jinnah is either a hero or villain depending upon which side of the border one is at.
Mr Jinnah was also ruthless notwithstanding his total commitment towards achieving Pakistan. No amount of loss of lives and bloodshed ever mattered to him.

Dr Ayesha Jalal is not convincing.
She is a self acclaimed intellectual..
She is propogandtist in skin of historian
Well said...The wannabe goras with the propaganda factories like harvard and oxfords...trying to portray themselves superior to fundamentalist hindus or fundamentalist muslims..these not so closeted islam and hinduism haters arebnothing but pimps and prostitutes of westernism.
muslims and hindus have some unfinished business of kicking out goras and vestiges of colonialism of these black brown shudar british/Americans.

read Ishtiyak Ahmad , not Ayesha Jalal ... if u want to know the truth ... hundreds of times Dr. Ishtiyak challanged her , she never responded !
too much talk too little info.
Jinnah haters. Shameful.
Look closely at her face.. she herself looks like a British agent.😢
Call ishtiaq ahmed... her theories are all flawed
Sir, Prof Jalal has a consistent narrative. No dispute on that, as a historian this is what she finds.
And yet the roots are subsequent to extinguished Mughal Sultanate in 1857.
Maybe absence of federation . But the elephant in the room is .. Tooo much religion now a days
She is biased and communal. Jinnah nh hi pakistan ki demand ki thi.
Agents are taken care of and are not put in jail by the establishment as we saw in the case of Jinnah unlike other politicians of that era
intellectually honest analysis by Dr Ayesha
it's obvious how honest she is by refusing to debate ishtiaq Ahmed
This is honesty ??😂😂
Jinnah was a diplomat, a statesman and a politician. A true politician always keeps open his channels. That's why he got the subcontinent partitioned with his legal and political acumen, without the power of sword or gun.
Dr Aisha jalal Ur comments on Quaid is really positive and based on truth u r great scholar God bless u
I'm not surprised to see that the bharatiya are so concerned about our national narrative while misplacing their own in the process.
People are more practical rather than manifestations of doctrines or theories. Barrister M.A Jinnah was like any other person a complex personality.
On top of that he was political creature and a tactician who was extremely focused and geared to achieve his objectives.
We all have contradictions within us, the synthesis of which gives birth new contradictions. And that the cycle of growth and progress. We should not always judge people by what they say but rather what they do and achieve for themselves and others.
Pakistan 🇵🇰 Zindabaad ❤
Untruthful and fake logic
It has now proved the the decision of partition was wrong ..................plz let it go now
Go to 15:53
Partition was good for India.
@@SaurabhSingh-zv1kf I absolutely agree. It saved Hinduism and Sikh religions. Otherwise, Muslims would have eventually converted lot more people to Islam. Abdul Kalam Azad was not totally wrong that all of India would become Muslim if there is no Partition.
How do we square these arguments with West(Britain) breaking Ottoman Empire even AustroPrussian empire?
India did Islam preaching for 50 years, and provided the highest post in parliament cabinet but unfortunately most of Islamist ministers silently serve Islam than India. A very recent example is the former VP of India, Mr. Mohammad Hamid Ansari who failed to integrate with the secular soul of society.
Pakistan is the only cause for the divide in Indian society who is still working on to give thousands cuts using hardcode Islamist minds in India also called slipper cells. Majority of peaceful Indian Muslim who have the following nation's first policy are progressing hand in hand with the rest of society which includes micro minorities like Parsi, Jain, etc. Indian society elects their representatives through voting so logically parliament is collective consciousness of society including Muslim population. So let's not cry for missing representation of Muslim brotherhood.
Power was the central issue for Fight between Jinnah and Nehru. Jinnah once said that both brothers (himself and Nehru) will unite again once Power deal (partition) has been sorted out. That's the reason Jinnah and his descent legally fought in Indian courts to retain his Mumbai based luxurious house to be able to spend vacation in India. Nehru also advocated to give away house to Jinnah but society opposed and court case is going on till date. Unfortunately none of the sides filled criminal cases against Jinnah and Nehru for killing millions of people on both sides for their power struggle in form of partition.
Many Indian corporates have Muslim CEOs based on their Education and Experience because it's an inclusive society. On other hand Pakistan has constitutionally blocked the entry of all non muslims in highest positions in society, and that should have been points of discussion as well.
Well said
Well said
Jinnah put everything on the line and here we are debating whether he was a British agent 😂.
@@ghairhaqeeqattv9460 what did he put on the line? he didn't even want to give up his bombay house!
Nobody in Pakistan against the creation of Pakistan only people like Mr Rumi sitting Infront of you do use ro oppose the idea and partition of Pakistan but since the advent of modi in 2014 they have change their stance we are proud of Pakistan and Quaid E Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Looks like she trying to argue congress policies pushed jinnah towards demand for partition. But events suggest that he was alwsys toying with the idea and just looked for excuses to vehemently push it.
Had he been committed to remain united, some compromising ways could always been found. He did not want to compromise.
Her views on nehru and congress is utter noncense..
Yes he was the sole spokesperson of the muslims and as an indian i thank jinnah for creating pakistan..no hatred for him..
Then why your country creat mess with us Kashmiri language culture religion writing scripts are similar to what is now Pakistan and strategically it's important for Pakistan Pakistani rivers flow from there they are unsafe in India hands India can divert our rivers to Rajasthan.
@@Amazing-Voicesi am saying by creating Pakistan he has done a favour for us..if partition wouldn't happend India would have been in the muslim dominance ..many reports say that till 2050 India will be the largest Muslim country in the world .if partition wouldn't happen then Pakistanis and bangladseshi muslim would have been living here also..Jinnah hindu dominance theory was utter noncence the propaganda which he spread .
And yes religion same hone se culture same ni hote ..who says to u that kashmiri language and culture are same as Pakistanis..apne apne mulk me sare subo ke mukhtalif culture ko khtm karke sirf islam ko thopa hai....
@@Amazing-Voices
Kashmiri language original script is Sharada.
@@parjanyashukla176 islam is not native to India
21:34 so that what is all about .
Jinnah was jealous that Gandhi "stole his show "
So all the mayhem of partition , the multiple wars , lingering conflicts till date all owe their origins to Jinnah's SHOW
Sir pls bring Prof Ishtiaque Ahmed to give another POV.
Dr Jalal and Prof Ishtiak Ahmed hate each other. They are often at each other's throats. Ayesha Jalal doesn't believe that the professor is a historian. He in turn finds holes in her thesis.
she's a ducking liar
Prof ishtiaq Ahmed reflected on scholar Nasim Yousaf thoughts
I think she is fair in saying Congress didn't agree to Jinnah's demand for separate Muslim electorates, but where she goes into speculative tangents is when she says that this was because of "Congress not agreeing at the behest of Hindu mahasabha".
I think the reason Congress rejected Jinnah's suggestion was based on a tenet that's the cornerstone of Indian democracy that electorates won't be defined based on religious or communal grounds.
And the moth eaten version that India and erstwhile Congress has to chew was a choice between communal electorates and partition for those who were adamant on that.
We chose the latter to prevent any future divisions.
STUPIDITY is the only word that can define the person who is saying at 25:14 that "perpetuating the colonial system with it's racial structure which have been used against Muslims , against Dalits by the upper castes "
Isn't the person aware that India has had Muslim and Dalit Presidents as well as Millionaires apart from so many other fields ?
JINNAH was an excellent lawyer, when he started loosing his argument of MUSLIMS IN DANGER he swiftly changed IT to ISLAM IN DANGER AS A GOOD LAWYER WOULD DO, he was neither a STATESMAN NOR A GOOD LEADER, only a good Lawyer WHO WON THE CASE FOR PAKISTAN BY HOOK OR CROOK
She is very true. Those who are against her are ignorant
I think history should be present in a way the history is shaped! What he wanted is not in the current context. His speeches telling a lot! If Pakistani is solely dependent on individual history then the events shouldn’t be ignored to fulfil our own desires… none of the Pakistani historian provided a plan events without speculating! It’s so strange
Jalal is 1/3 an accent; 1/3 overrated and misguided scholarship and the remaining 1/3 consternation from being questioned. She needs to fade away. 😂
Partition was the exact opposite of what was good for Islam.
It split Muslims in 3 units and gave Hindus to become powerful before the decisive war .
The only question which always comes to my mind and bothers me because there is no reasonable answer, is why Britishers dividend India. Every other thing, though most of it is also important, is secondary.
The country lacks a historical consciousness, its always individual leaders who have been the center of undo focus.
The video explains the importance of understanding the historical context surrounding Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the creation of Pakistan, which is often overshadowed by an undue focus on individual figures.
she's genius. an icon indeed.
Thank god there is a counter narrative to Prof Ishtiaq. You should also interview Javed Jabbar on this topic.
Please explain why Pakistan is a failed state ?
A 'failed' nuclear state that by its mere existence burnts the collective Hinduvta body politics than all the chillies in the world.
Zinna cheated Muslim by leaving billions in India after fulfil of his dream to become Viceroi. The karma return ,Punjabi jihadi gave him painful end
Your guest has conveniently ignored Jinnah's call for direct action day which led to the slaughter of thousands of innocent Hindus
How come Jinnah was never prisoned by the British ? Nehru spent more than nine years in prison . Gandhi , Patel all were put behind bars . Dr Jalal is only doing a poor white wash job .
You guys should have done more detailed interview and discussion on the division of Punjab and Bengal
Watch our other videos on the channel please. We have covered these and many other topics. Also a detailed series on various states of India by Dr Yaqoob Bangash also coming soon.
According to Jinnah himself contribution for making Pakistan are only Jinnah & his typewriter only, nobody could have created Pakistan as per Jinnah argument.
Uniformity in the nation is a problem. India has diversity
Salute to the host for showing tremendous patience.
Dr Jalal must have plethora of knowledge but she needs to learn the art of courtesy and conversation for not to cut other person speaking.
I lost interest half way through the video due to her discourtesy.
Jinnah a secrt society uk freemason not muslim
90% pakistanis have hindu roots, hindu past and hindu ancestry.
Jinnah was visionary leader. He knew that Muslims cant live with Hindus as first citizen.... Thanks jinnah. ❤
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why Bangadesh muslims can't live with Pakistani muslim..?
Thank Jinnah 😂😂😂😂 for creating new country .?
So now muslims will live under talibans ...save ur ammas and ammis
Thanks Jinnah for removing cancer from India but due stupidity of our leaders, we failed in population exchange..
Muslims can't leave with any non Muxlim due to teaching of Muhmd. They cannot live with in them selves.
The problem with nri is they want to improve the country without living in it .nobody asked punjabis what they wanted punjab suffered the most and still are suffering more pakistani side less so on i dian side
If any one have any doubt about Mr. Jannah, he was not a British agent he should immediately consult mental Dr
I am a mental health specialist, you should begin with getting assessed.
The many Slumdogs barking here proves their inability to engage in a proper dialogue, but rather crash in on others' debates.
She never got tenure at ivy league colleges like Columbia or Brown. they thought her books post Sole Spokesman were below average. She teaches at a third rate university. Only Pakistan gives her attention. academics dont take her seriously
She is only emphasizing the symptoms but not what led to those symptoms historically and the effect of Marxism in the subcontinent from the early 19th century. All those Muslims fair share is an excuse for the grand theory in which Jinnah was played into by the British. For Jinnah, it was a great opportunity.
apparently, Ayesga Halal married to Subhash Chandra Bose's grandson, and definitely tried to convert him🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
