Pakistan was formed by sacrificing the lives of lakhs of people and pushing lakhs of people into hell while they lived, but the onward journey of Pakistan was not easy. Till now the Muslim people of undivided India were kept together by the leaders of the Muslim League for the creation of Pakistan in the name that there should be a separate country of Muslims where all the Muslims of India can live comfortably, but now the leaders of the Muslim League have been separated from the Muslims. The country was found and they had left India.
Most of the rich and educated Muslims of India had lived in India of their own will, but those crores of poor and uneducated Muslims who wanted to go to Pakistan but could not leave their jobs, farms and barns, dung-dungars and home-nohars, It took them a long time to understand that they never had to and could never get Pakistan. An illusion was created in the minds of the poor and uneducated Muslims that where they are sitting, they will get their Pakistan there. They also never understood that this could never have been possible, nor did they understand that they had been tricked by the Muslim League leaders.
On the other hand, the Muslim League leaders were deprived of the new base that the Muslim League leaders needed to keep the Muslims of the new country called Pakistan. Not only did Pakistan fall in his lap, but he had also got a canker of never ending problems. The air distance between East-Pakistan and West-Pakistan was 1600 km. Creating a government structure that could simultaneously run Punjabi-dominated West-Pakistan and Bengali-speaking East-Pakistan was a difficult task.
The agricultural products processing factories originating in the newly created Pakistan were left in India. 75 percent of the world's jute producing area came in Pakistan's share, but not a single mill producing jute goods was found by Pakistan, all the mills were left in India. Pakistan got about one-third of the cotton fields from undivided India, but only about one-third of the cotton mills.
The non-Muslim entrepreneurs who dominated the trade in the territory of Pakistan before independence, had closed their business and moved to India with their capital. Whereas very few Muslim bourgeoisie from India came to Pakistan. Pakistan's economy was suffocated by the exodus of capital, which the leaders of Pakistan considered as a Hindu ploy to strangle Pakistan economically.
On the question of Muslims left in India
Jinnah's abandonment of the principle of two-nationalism
Even after the creation of Pakistan, 354 crore Muslims remained in India. That is, about one third of the total Muslim population of undivided India. Pakistan Muslim League President Khaliquzzaman wrote that on 1 August 1947, a few days before leaving for Karachi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah invited Muslim members of the Constituent Assembly for a farewell party at his residence, 10 Aurangzeb Road, Delhi.
On this occasion Mr. Rizwanullah asked Jinnah questions about the future of Muslims living in India and their constitutional status in India. Hearing these questions, Jinnah was distraught, he had no answer to these questions.
After being declared the future Governor General of Pakistan and the President of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan, Jinnah abandoned the principle of two-nation in his speech to the Constituent Assembly on 11 August 1947. Jinnah surprisingly made a secular declaration- 'You will see that with time, as a citizen of the country, a Hindu will no longer be a Hindu, a Muslim will cease to be a Muslim, not from a religious point of view, because it belongs to every person. Personal faith, but in a political capacity.'
Analyzing the changing colors of Jinnah's secularism, Tarek Fateh has written- 'The Pakistani of the future will be only a citizen irrespective of colour, caste, creed or community, with equal rights, privileges and responsibilities. . Religion will have no role in the work of the state. It will be limited to one's personal belief only.
….. Within a few months he (Jinnah) changed his course and started speaking like a medieval noble. In this, he appealed to his country to unite to protect Islam and at the same time cleared the way for the death of his own promises. After the creation of Pakistan, Jinnah lived for only one year but in that time he set the standards of a supreme administrator. By adopting the modus operandi of the Mughal rulers instead of democratic leaders.
……. Was this the model of the Islamic state that 20th century Muslims were waiting for? It was like the rule of the Caliphs in an arbitrary manner, which was run under the name of the Governor General. There was no place for opposition in it, as well as the principle of secularism was completely abandoned. Whereas a few months ago the commitment was made towards it.'
It was the partition of two brothers by consent!
The partition of India-Pakistan took 5 to 10 lakh lives, 14 million people were rendered homeless and 10 million women were raped, but in the name of love and tolerance, some people on both sides of India and Pakistan have done pretense and tolerance. Kept covered with a sheet of hypocrisy. They did not want to accept the fact that it was the result of the extreme racial hatred between the two castes.
Gandhiji's grandson Rajmohan Gandhi has written- 'Bapu (Gandhiji) was no less enthusiastic about good relations between the two countries, he believed that the new country was born out of the agreed partition between two brothers. was.'
Unlike Gandhiji, some people cleverly accept the truth. Hussain Haqqani, who was Pakistan's ambassador to the US, has written- 'Most Pakistanis and Indians see each other only as enemies and not as two brothers separated due to circumstances.
…… The seeds of tension between the two countries were laid at the very beginning. Jinnah's conciliatory stance was neither visible in the Muslim League nor in the civil and military bureaucracy of Pakistan. These people found it easier to keep the new country under their control while retaining the feeling of hatred that had arisen during the partition. The apathy of the leaders of India, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel towards Naya Pakistan, especially in relation to the distribution of assets between the two countries, made it even more difficult to maintain the spontaneity of relations. em>
