  • Professor Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed is the Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Stockholm University, he has taught at LUMS and Government College, Lahore, as well. He is the author of "The Punjab Bloodied, Partitioned and Cleansed" and "Pakistan: The Garrison State", he is about to release his third book on Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
    Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss why he believes Pakistan was created as a buffer state between the Soviet Union and India by the British and the role of Quaid-e-Azam in the creation of Pakistan.
    Was Jinnah working with the British?
    Did the Radcliffe Award favour India or Pakistan?
    Who started the massacres in Punjab?
    Why did the Sikhs not join Pakistan?
    Find out on this week's episode of the Pakistan Experience. Probably the most important conversation on partition that you will ever hear.
    The Pakistan Experience is a podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation.

    Dear Shehzad Ghias, I am writing again to thank you from the depth of my heart for this fantastic interview you did with me. It has elicited very great interest as I see from the comments. I am grateful to all who expressed their views and most views have been very supportive. The few who disagree or are angry are also needed so that we all exchange our views freely. I wish you and Pakistan Experience all the very best for now and for your future endeavours.

      India has relieve from united muslim fundamentalism fanaticism through division amongst them.
      India is globally today amongst top 5 gdp economy, 4th powerful military, and most stable leadership thus Pakistan has unmatched to the mighty Indians across the sectors.

It doesn't mean that you distort history just because your masters the British gave you English schools, printing press, cinemas, radio, factories, parliament, trained armies, railways, dams, bridges and much more. NO tribal of NWFP was interested in Kashmir, especially in 1948. NWFP voted for Congress and Bacha Khan had a strong following there. NWFP used Indian and Afghan currency until 1970's. It was Punjabi army-the stooges of the British in civilian clothes who attacked Kashmir. Nehru and Indian leaders had written off Kashmir and had informed the Maharaja that he can join Pakistan, The Proxy attack by Pakistan gave India good reason to stay there permanently. After the so called "tribal" attack , Sheikh Abdullah appealed to India for help as the "tribals" ( read army) were looting and raping ( as ordered by Jinnah) the Muslim women. They were not into liberating Kashmir. India insisted that it could not help as Kashmir had not acceded to India. The Sheikh then signed the papers of accession and India sent in its army. This is how British stooge Jinnah handed over Kashmir to India. The other stooge of British aka Punjabi army is 100% responsible for the destruction of Pakistan's economy and political institutions.

    Allama Mashriqi's grandson (Nasim Yousaf) wrote in his book published in 2007:
    "The main objective of dividing India was to keep any regional power from rising against the
    West. The intricacies of this are described as follows.
    First, the aim was to weaken the Muslims ... On the other hand, Pakistan was also created ...to prevent the rise of
    Hindus ...Through East and West wings of Pakistan, the world powers could pull India’s strings as and when desired.
    India was also divided to thwart the spread of communism. It was felt that India might
    go far left, and communism might spread into India, which would pose a significant threat to the
    West... Hence, the West wanted to prevent the influence of communism from spreading into the region..."

    Dear Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed , I am hugely impressed by your scholarship - I am from Mumbai India . I belong to a family which migrated from Lahore during partition and have a natural affinity for eastern Punjab . There is a raging controversy about the reason why British left India in 1947 . Congressmen & left historians give the reason that it was Congress / Gandhi & Nehru - this is also the ‘official history’ of Independent India post independence as all these historians were leaning towards Nehru’s contribution and totally ignoring the contribution of Subhash Bose and his INA .
    Some recent revelations say the British were unnerved by January 1946 rebellion by British Navy and other such instances of expected rebellion and the Viceroy wanted 1 lac British troops in India to keep India under control . Also during Atlee’s visit to Calcutta in 1955/56 , when asked why British left India he said categorically INA and that Gandhi’s role in making Britain leave I dia was MINIMAL .
    As you are a great historian of that period I wud request your views on this matter please .

      Hi, look from what I understand is that Atlee a British Prime Minister will never accept that 'they lost'. I mean they always believed they were superior how could they say Gandhi/Nehru/Navy Revolts made them leave India.
      When the 2nd World War ended the masses were aware. They had just seen British fight Japan/Germany because they were being imperialistic (exactly what Britishers themselves were). The will of the people was strengthened by all of the above be it S.C Bose's Azad Hind Fauj + Navy Revolts + Red fort trials + Bengal Famine + Quit India Movement.
      Other factors such as the Balance of power changed in favour of USA and USSR. In fact Britain themselves had to take loans from USA to reconstruct their nation. And British soldiers were done with war. They were in no mood to stay away from their families and fight in India after seeing the destruction.
      Also, British rule was very much dependent on the civil servants in Indian who were themselves Indian. With the Navy Incident and Azad Hind Fauj they understood that they cannot trust the Indians anymore.
      It's all a combination is what I mean, but definitely not what Atlee said, you can't expect them to not save their faces you know.

    Hindus and Muslims was very safe in a common sky, then why the separatist politics uprised exponentially during 40's ? That was definitely an external encouragement for the same.
    1. Majority Muslims was Safe in Hindu king rule (kashmir)
    2. Muslims and Hindus were safe in Sikh ruled Punjab.
    3. Hindus was safe in long Prosperous Mughal Empire.
    4. Later, Hindus and Muslims both were very happy and prosperous during reigns of Muslim Nababs of Bengal.
    5. Muslim, Christian, parsis, Jain's had no Issue in Mighty Maratha Empire, Even the founder of maratha Empire, sivaji had muslim cannonman (topchi). 'the most value war weapons during mediaeval period'.
    Indian Subcontinent can't be prosperous without unifying. And we oppose it.... This is our unfortunate.

    Mazaa aa gaya yaar….. I love history and today listening to this interview, I learnt so much about the partition, the mindset of the leaders and the circumstances prevailing at that time…..!! One very important thing I have observed in most of the interviews and discussions of the Pakistani intellectual is that they are very open in accepting the mistakes made by their leaders, the Islamic fanaticism that has harmed them and the ills that are plaguing their society but I feel in India we are still not having those open and honest debates wherein we critically review what is going wrong in our society or what needs to be corrected. We are still consumed in the euphoria of our economic success. We need some personalities like Shehzad to highlight the ills of the nation and anchor some honest and critical debates…. but overall, thanks Dr Sahib and thanks Shehzad for this wonderful insight !!

    Uff mazaa aah giya, yaar. An excellent & highly informative podcast. Just one concern: please be careful of the audio quality of future podcasts considering Professor Ahmed's voice kept getting choppy at times (albeit thankfully it was limited). That bit really made it hard to focus on the argument being presented & sorta ruined the whole immersion element at times.
    Edit: And that closing by the good professor Dr: "warna you're all worth burning in hell". Pehlay tou I was an avid listener/student. Ab tou I'm a confirmed fan ;)
