Pakistan: Whose child is it anyway?
The Pakistanis have got their Father of the Nation all mixed up! Long before M.A Jinnah came up with his moronic two-nation theory in 1939, the following “gentlemen” had beaten him to it.
“The Hindus are a nation in themselves…..I would want the Muslims to have the NWFP, West Punjab, Sindh and East Bengal in a clear partition of India into Hindu and Non-Hindu India”
Lala Lajpat Rai, Former Congress Leader, “Freedom Fighter” and a founding member of the Hindu Mahasabha (The Tribune: Dec 14, 1924) : Available in the National Archives, New Delhi.
” There are two nations in the main, the Hindus and the Muslims in India”
“……We Hindus are marked out as an abiding nation in ourselves…….All people born in India are not Indians, the test is whether they are willing to accept the superiority of the Hindu nation…….The Muslim Nation cant be co equal in authority to the Hindu Nation..The Hindu Nation is to be dominant and the Muslim Nation servient…..The Muslims should adopt a position of subordinate co-operation with the Hindus.”
Vinayak Damodar “Veer” Savarkar, “freedom fighter”, Hindu Mahasabha President and RSS idealogue. Speaking at the Ahmedabad Session of the Hindu Mahasabha in 1937 and in his essay, “Hindutva: Who is a Hindu?” (Pg 130-133). Also see B R Ambedkar’s excellent analysis of Savarkarism.
“Hindu Nationalism forms the bedrock of our national edifice…This is a Hindu Nation..”
M.S Golwalkar, RSS founder; in “Bunch of Thoughts” (Pg 126, 135)
“The Hindu Mahasabha was responsible to a very large extent for India’s partition”
R.C Majumdar, RSS member, Trustee of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and eminent historian in “Struggle for Freedom” (Pg 611)
The Pakistanis are better off adopting one of these guys as their Quaid-e-Azam. Jinnah pales in front of these chaps.

Communalism, what’s the Indian Muslim got to do? « Aymen’s Page said this on October 11, 2008 at 6:50 pm |
THe saving factor is that text books have begun to acknowledge the deeds of the Hindu Mahasabha. In my son’s history text book,it is clearly written how they went about fanning the fire kindled by the british. Even JL Nehru has acknowledged lucidly how the Indian Naitonalism that was a movement led by the middle class educated Indians left a sour taste in his mouth when he saw through the scramble for govt. posts and jobs much before partition and how these very people ,leaders among them, understood the importance of weding out non hindus from among India.
Cud u pls. forward AMbedkar’s analysis to me?
