Thank u bhai for inviting this intellectual personality

It’s so heartbreaking to lose East Pakistan

[@khawarmehdi1118]

Excellent interview

Pakistan feels very sad and angry when majority people of Bangladesh got independence from Pakistan. They never talk of genocide , atrocities , killing , plunder , loot and rape they committed in Bangladesh and bravery of Bangladeshish .
Don't you think how Indians feels when there country was partitioned on basis of religion whereas Muslims stayed in India . The partitioned led to millions of people were killed ,raped and looted .
The poison of religious hatred sowed by Muslim league in the Indian sub continent will stay for ever . The same people shamelessly object to Hinduvta .

[@harshittiwari7424]

It wasn't fall of Dhaka , its rise of Dhaka.

@8:13 Bhutto "sahab" k buht ehsanaat hain is mulk par.
Ap apnay mulk k logo ko un ki zameen par kharay ho kar "soor ka bacha" nahi keh saktay.

Agar army general bheja mullwas intervention sarkar banane governance aur election mein india ki tarah na hoti to:
1. India se Pak ke rishte behter hote.
2. Economy, vikas, trade ke rishte behtar hote.
3. 4 junge khud shuru karke aur haar ke bhi, jeet ka jhoota parchar nahi hota aur awam ko jamini sachai ka ka ilm hota.
4. Genetecally aur DNA se Pak Muslim majority hote hue bhi Indian civilization ka hissa hai arbi k nahi.
5. Halaki india ne ek bhi Jung khud shuru nahi ki balki hamesha defensive restraint ka mujaira Kiya hai but Army ne india ka dar dikha ke Pakistan ki garib awwam ka maali hissa budget mein loot liya hai.
6. India na token roop mein bhi America ko jungi gulf war mein ek baar bhi fuel nahi Diya na kisi war mein kisi bhi western power ka saath nahi diya. Lekin Afghan reconstruction, humanity mein saare Muslim sansaar ki yatha Shakti madad ki hai.
Agar Pakistan vikas karna chahta hai, bharat se economy aur diplomatic rishte acha karna chahta ha to army ko cut to size karna hoga. Diplo relation, Jung mein army nahi chuni sarkar ko decision Lena hoga.
Yaad rahe ithaas gawah hai 1947 ka pahla katle aam 10000 hindu sikhon ka Rawalpindi mein March 1946 mein mulloo ne shuru Kiya tha. Hindu or hindustaani be Aaj Tak koi pass Mazi mein tashdad, Jung katle aam kabhi shuru nahi kiya but hamesha defensive stance Raha hai. Hamalawar hahi Raha aur nahi hi Fateh ka fyada kabhi nahi uthaya. 1971 mein bhi agar Bengali Muslim crores ki tadad mein infiltrate na karte aur Pakistan unko khud sambalta, india kabhi bhi shyad intervene na karta.
