STAGE 1

BRITISH POLITICS IN SUB-CONTINENT


2/39

At the start of the 20th century, Britain became very strong power in the sub-continent. The

British were manipulative people experienced in different ways for establishing control

over various small kingdoms and millions of individuals. Unity among Indian was a major

threat for British, which they wanted to avoid at all cost. They were very well aware of the

strength of the entire nation of Sub-continent. They realized that although the Muslims

ruled the country for centuries but still they were much fewer than non-Muslims. Their

(British) very first strategy was to ally themselves with the non-Muslims and to take

advantage of the rift between the two. But, they soon realized the fact that Hindus are

excess in numbers but they are almost non-existent in the neighboring boundaries. In the

entire neighborhood Muslim rule was flourished from Turkey to Afghanistan and from

North Africa to Balkan states and above all the kingdom of Osmania, which was the Turkish

Empire. At that specific time British were the Indias undisputed rulers. The Muslims were

pushed into a corner from which they watched and grieved over their tremendous losses.

Official attention was centered upon the Hindus. They were appointed as clerks in the

government offices and were given control over all the political processes. In trade too,they were given the front. However their given unity became a grave threat for the British.

They saw the danger of facing a united Hindu front. British realized that after destroying

the Muslims in 1857, they were not the only one who can stand against them. On the

contrary, any Muslim with leadership aspiration was anxious to prove his loyalty to British.

Game playing; altering the favors between Muslims and Hindus was the best strategy of

British.

Muslims leaders were anxious to unite with Hindus and other communities to present a

unified front against British imperialism. One of the prominent examples is of Sir Syed

Ahmed Khan who is also known as the father of communal harmony. According to him, the

only way to get out of that terrible situation was to join hands with Hindus.

The British were becoming conscious of this emerging trend. They realized that their

position would be weakened if the two communities got together and presented united

opposition.

To counter this British decided to introduce reforms based on communalism. The firstof

these was the MINTO MORLEY REFORMS of 1909 that was related to elections of local

and municipal committees. According to that, Muslim votes could only be cast for Muslims

and Hindu votes could only be cast for Hindus. In this manner, British laid communalismas the foundation stone for democracy. By proposing a communal rather than national

basis for politics, they forced Hindus and Muslims into a position whereby if they wanted to

enter municipal or community politics, their electioneering was limited to wooing their

religious brethren and fighting on religious rather than political basis.


3/39

Meanwhile, the second series of reforms was introduced, introduced called as

MONTAGU-CHELMSFORD REFORMS. This also used communalism as the basis for

elections.

With the passage of time they realized that success of their mission was dependent on the

cooperation of Muslims. An organization was needed to fight against the congress and theonly available organization was that of Muslims. Like masters of the game the British were

directing the players from the behind scenes. This was going according to British plan: first

to unite the Muslims of India under a proper organization, and secondly to tell the world

that they were unable to relinquish power because of the hostility between the Hindus and

the Muslims. During the First Round Table Conference the British took maximum

advantage of the communal differences. The next step was to create the conditions which

would turn the Muslims against the Congress.

On the one hand the British wanted to use the Muslims against the Congress, on the other

they wanted to use the Harijans(people of lower cast as compared to other Hindus) to

divide the Hindus further on the issue of caste. This was a sure way of reducing the Hindu

strength. They were delighted that in addition to the Princely States, they had virtual

control over Ambedkar, the leader of the Harijans. The only problem for British was the

lack of a strong opposition to the Congress. From British point of view, Politics would now

be steered by communalism rather than nationalism.

When the Assembly elections were held, eight out of eleven States went to the Congress

now the British were in serious trouble. The Indian nation had announced its decision in

favor of the Congress.

Reviewing the outcome of the elections, the British had no alternative other than preparing

a strong alternative to the Congress. Glancing in all directions the British found three

powerful forces that could be pitted against the Congress Party. The most loyal of the three

was the group consisting of rulers of the 600 odd Princely States. These States could

neither hold elections nor establish a national and democratic government. The second

group that could hurt the Congress was of the scheduled castes. The British raised the

slogan that the Congress was an organization of Brahmins and high-class Hindus and that

Harijans were a separate race. Churchill estimated their members to be four corers. The

third group was of the Muslims who were estimated to be ten corers.

When the Government of Great Britain declared war against Germany, they did it on

behalf of India also. The Congress objected to this policy. How could such a declaration be

made without the consent of Indians? On the basis of the recently held elections the

Congress was the country's rightful representative. The Congress further demanded that

the British should announce their "War Aims". If this war was being fought for freedom and

peace, then they should make an official declaration that when the allies win, in keeping


4/39

with the same principles, India, too, would be freed. Only on this condition would India

participate in this war. The British, however, were in no mood to accept the Congress

proposal.

This high-handedness displayed by the British made the Congress declare that this war was

an internal European war which had nothing to do with freedom of India. The Britishgreatly regretted their decision to hold Assembly Elections. The European war thus altered

the shape of Anglo-Indian Politics. They were concerned neither with the Muslims nor with

Jinnah. They were encouraging the Muslim League to pose as a strong opposition to the

Congress. They felt that they could use the League as a political leverage for bargaining

with the Congress for power sharing. It appeared to be a life-and-death matter for India

and Britain.

As a protest, the Congress ordered all its members to resign from the Provincial Cabinets.

The British were seasoned players in political gamesmanship. They were determined tocrush the freedom movements and stop at nothing to fulfill their imperialist policies.

To put it bluntly, the British wanted to turn the Muslim minority into a majority, and to

accord the power of veto. It is all too clear that the civilized, egalitarian British ruler did not

give a damn for basic human rights, democracy or self-determination. Having closed their

eyes and ears to facts, they promoted their own interests, using the Muslim League as their

vehicle.

To summarize, the British attitude was that if the Congress was out for a confrontation, we

are not alone! We are wearing the colors of our beloved!' The Viceroy had strengthened his

alliance with the Muslim League. The Congress would now have to take on the League

along with the British. At that time, the League was like a sandbag, which the British were

using as a buffer. If the Congress took the offensive, the sandbag would take the brunt of it

leaving the British unscathed.

These games were being played to tell the world that as if the British were ready to

relinquish power, but the Indians were not ready to assume it.

STAGE 2

MUSLIM LEAGUE AS PUPPETS OF BRITISH


6/39

British Concept

When the British saw that their objectives could not be met by the schemes presented bySikander Hayat Khan or the Muslim League Working Committee, they unilaterally rejected

all the proposals submitted by the Muslims.

Muslim league as a British Party

When the Muslim League accepted the Viceroy's proposal [author, Sir Zafarullah], the

British were convinced of their dependability. It was natural, then, for the British to refuse

to recognize the existence of any party other than the Muslim League. The British were

trying to make it very clear to every Indian Muslim that except Jinnah and the MuslimLeague, they were not ready to accept any other party. To gain British support, the Muslims

were obliged to join the Muslim League.

Jinnah and Government

The British were well aware that the Muslim Leaguer lacked any solid foundation. The

British were deliberately giving so much importance to Jinnah and the Muslim League

because they were convinced that if ever there was any talk of a settlement between the

Congress and the Muslim League, Jinnah would never agree. He knew that the Muslim

League drew its entire strength from British support.

During this time Jinnah made the demand that Muslim league should be given partnership

in government; this implies that all Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Harijans, should be

bypassed and the Muslim League and the British become equal partners in governance.

The British were not interesting to the condition of the Muslims. They were using the

League as an anti-Congress missile, hoping, that in case of an open challenge, they would be

able to fire it at the enemy.

Another fact worth noting is that out of a population of 40 corers, the Muslims constitutedonly 25 per cent. The British had lost all sense of right or wrong. The truth was that the

British cared neither for Muslims nor Hindus. They only cared for the Empire. Therefore,

they prevented the Muslim League from affecting conciliation with the Congress.


7/39

It was characteristic of the British to turn blind to anything that was not in their interest.

They had no respect for the will of the people reflected in the members of the eight State

Assemblies elected by popular vote.

The British were clever manipulators .They were able to utilize different and opposing

forces to their advantage.

When one considers these events one reaches the conclusion that leaders of the

Muslim League never considered for a moment how their policies would benefit

Muslims. They were blinded to the Muslim cause, their only concern was to fall in

line with the British and happily follow their policy to the letter.

Jinnahs Status in British Eyes

According to British, Jinnah would be quite as bad a master as Gandhi. But Jinnah is not in

as strong a position as Gandhi and the Congress, and he is never likely to be in the near

future. This needs no further elaboration.

The British admitted that Jinnah had neither power nor organization. He was the leader of

a minority. A minority which could survive only on the strength of British support.

The Viceroy, thus, assured his superiors that Jinnah was a one hundred per cent British

stooge! The interesting problem is that if Jinnah lacked power and organization, how could

he be considered the custodian of Muslim rights?

Jinnah's status among such political heavyweights was extremely fragile. The British knewthat Jinnah himself was clearly aware of the vulnerability of his position.

Fully aware of his weak position. Jinnah was surprised to find himself ranked along with

Gandhi. Therefore his political life hung by the thread of British sponsorship.

Frontier province and the British

If the British policy is closely examined, it becomes apparent that it was based on

generating hatred between Muslims and Hindus. In pursuing this policy the Khudai

Khidmatgar movement was a political monkey-wrench! The biggest problem confrontingthe British was the ninety-two per cent Muslim population in the NWFP.

The British were using Islam to save their Empire; because they knew that the Khudai

Khidmatgars solely united with the party which was fighting for freedom.

During the First World War, The most potent Islamic power was the Ottoman Empire in

Turkey. At the end of the war, the British were pleased to see how effectively they had


8/39

stemmed the Islamic flood from the Turkish side. But now they were faced with the

Russian revolution. They tried their best to pinch or squeeze this revolution in the bud but

all of their efforts did not work. At last they reached the conclusion that there was only one

missile that would workIslam. The British realized that they could use Islam as anidealistic force against Russia, so also could it be used as a disruptive force against the

Congress

Mullahs, Khans and the Muslim League

The foundation for the Muslim League in the Frontier Province was laid by the Mullahs. The

political and worldly affairs were assigned to the Khan Bahadurs and Jagirdars, while the

spiritual and religious to the Mullahs and Pirs. It is interesting to see that these agents of

Cunningham later became leaders of the Muslim League.

Their names were: Khan Bahadur Kuli Khan, Khan Bahadur Ghulam Haider Khan ofSherpao, Nawab Zafar Khan and Taj Ali from Bannu became everlasting in this context.

In this manner the Pirs and Mullahs independently joined the Muslim League. Pir Sahib

Manki Shareef, Pir Zakoori and other Mullahs played political games from a religious base,

driven by the British.

The Mullahs were concerned neither with Islam, nor Quran, nor with the faith itself. These

followers of the Holy Prophet were busy selling religion for ten or fifteen rupees a month.

Further Wali khan wrote that, in the Frontier Province the main problem for British was

that their opponents were the Khudai Khidmatgars who were all Muslims, and their leader

Badshah Khan was a Haji, schooled in the best traditions of Islam. These Mullahs, having

sold their souls to the British, came out in open confrontation with the Khudai

Khidmatgars.

STAGE 3

BRITISH STRATAGEM


11/39

Elections of 1946

Provincial elections were held in February 1946. The Congress got a significant majority

vote and an absolute majority in the Assembly. The British were visibly upset when the

Congress won the Muslim seats. The League concentrated all its efforts in District Hazara,where it won eight out of nine seats. The British even tried every tactic, including

delegating special officers, to ensure a few more seats for the League. The Muslim League

won only one seat from the entire district of Mardan, which belonged to Sir Mohammad

Akbar Khan.

Similarly, one seat was won from Peshawar, two from Bannu, and none from Kohat. The

elections posed another problem for the British and the League; the election issue was

Pakistan, but was exaggerated to include Kufr and Islam. Most of the British supporters

were Pirs and Mullahs who demanded, in the name of Islam, a separate Pakistan. When the

British realized that the League could not be expected to win by democratic, legal, political

and constitutional means and that the Province would remain loyal to the KhudaiKhidmatgars, they started contemplating a different course of action. They had no seat in

Sindh or in the frontier.

WAVELL'S NEW SCHEME

When Wavell started his term as Viceroy, he had already been Commander-in-Chief of the

Indian Army. He viewed the Congress as a sworn enemy because of the difficulties they had

created for the British during the European war.

Then the Breakdown Plan was prepared by Lord Wavell to deal with the fast evolvingpolitical situation in India.

Wavells BP was formulated with two main goals in mind: Firstly, a safe withdrawal of the

British from India; secondly, to avoid a partition of India by attempting to maintain it as

one geographic entity.

For the first goal Wavell suggested a phased withdrawal from India, which would be

initiated from the Hindu-majority provinces of the south. The second goal was to be

achieved by proposing a partition of both the Punjab and Bengal, as a bargaining tool with

the Muslim League to deter from pursuing its agenda of a separate Muslim-majority

homeland on religious grounds.

Although Wavells overall plan was rejected by the HMG in London, parts of it were,

however, incorporated in the final withdrawal plan laid down by Mountbatten, Wavellssuccessor, in his June 3 Plan.

Wavell's scheme was as follows: The disputed areas between the Congress and the Muslim

League were located on the border. The Pakistan scheme was divided into two parts;

North-West and North-East. These were areas with a Muslim majority. Wavell suggested


12/39

that the areas with a Congress majority should be handed over to them and be given

complete autonomy.

The British, along with their army, civil servants, and families should move into areas with

a Muslim majority.

The territories were specified; in the East, Bengal and Assam, in the West, the FrontierProvince, Punjab and Sind. Delhi would be under direct British control and the rest would

go to the Congress.

When one looks at the whole scheme, one is astounded at the mentality of the Government,

the Viceroy, and his Senior Officials. The Congress is severely penalized from the beginning

to the end. India is deprived of her geographical and political boundaries.

From this scheme the fact that becomes clear is: why the Frontier Province became a thorn

in the British flesh, this was because among the Muslims the only group which was aware

of the British duplicity was the Khudai Khidmatgars. They aligned themselves with the

Congress to throw out the British rule. It was embarrassing for the British that a provincehad ninety-three per cent Muslims and they were decidedly anti-League. Another concern

was the strategic location of the Frontier, which proved an impediment to the British

design of a defence wall against Russia. The British were using every means at their

disposal to deflect the Khudai Khidmatgar Movement.

CABINET MISSION AND THE SECOND SIMLA CONFERENCE

In India Wavell announced General Elections. After the Elections, a Cabinet Mission of three

arrived from Britain. It consisted of Sir Stafford Cripps, A.V. Alexander and the Secretary of

State for India.

The British Cabinet Mission of 1946 to India aimed to discuss and plan for the transfer of

power from the British Government to Indian leadership, providing India with

independence. Goal of mission in India set up a provisional government and a

constitutional crisis between the Congress and the Muslim League By ending pave the way

for transfer of power wanted.

There were two parts of the cabinet mission, first a short-term plan under which an

interim government was put into effect, and second the long-term plan under which the

India was prevent to divide at least for ten years.

6 June 1946, the Muslim League Cabinet Mission Plan was approved, because India's

partition and creation of Pakistan signs were present. Other hand, Congress reluctance

Work inspector After 25 June 1946, the Cabinet Mission Plan, a portion subject to approved

and disapproved done. Those long-term project under which the provinces split up into

groups and the All India Association operate had been accepted.


13/39

After this the Muslim League not only decide to protest on July 29, 1946, but also

withdrawn his acceptance of Cabinet Mission Plan.

The Cabinet Mission declared that if the Congress and the Muslim League did not agree it

would have to impose its decisions on both parties. Therefore, on 19 May 1946, the Mission

declared India as a Union. The Union would have control over three departments, Defence,External Affairs and Commerce.

The Indian states would be divided into three groups, on the basis of Muslims and non

Muslims. The first group would consist of Punjab, Sind, Frontier and Baluchistan. The

second would include Bengal and Assam, and the third Bombay, Madras, Bihar.

The Congress wanted unity, The Muslim League was afraid of the numerical superiority of

the Hindus. The Cabinet Mission announced that an Interim Government would be formed

at the centre under British supervision.

During the First Simla Conference Jinnah had perched himself on a high pedestal. He knew

that he was responsible for the conference debacle. He was not willing to accept anything

less than Pakistan. The Congress took the opposite stand. This Conference was a failure

because due to the Muslim League's added insistence that it be accepted as the

representative of Muslims all over India.

MUSLIM LEAGUE WITHDRAWS ITS DEMAND FOR PAKISTAN

At a meeting of the Muslim League Working Committee the proposals of the Cabinet

Mission were discussed. On 6 June 1946, these proposals were accepted. The Muslim

League was convinced that these proposals would be unacceptable to the Congress. But at

the Congress meeting held on 25 June 1946, these proposals were accepted. Wavell was

most disappointed at Congress' acceptance. He, too, was confident that the Congress would

not cooperate.

The Congress suggested certain additions to this proposal.

This cabinet is completely autonomous, the power of veto is taken away from the Viceroy,

and he serves as the constitutional head.

Jinnah called a meeting of the All India Muslim League Council in Bombay, and, once again,

asked them to study the situation. On 27 July 1947, the Muslim League Council stated that

since the Congress enjoyed an absolute majority in the Central Legislative Assembly, it

would make decisions based upon their numerical strength. The Muslim League takes back

its earlier decision and the plan of 16 May was no longer acceptable to them. The Council

gave its Working Committee the right to prepare a plan for Direct Action.


14/39

As a political party, the Muslim League was responsible for defining their policy prior to

presenting their demands. Before deciding on a Direct Action Policy they should have given

it a careful treatment. In this context there was a basic difference between the Congress

and the League.

The Congress was blatantly anti-British. The Muslim League Direct Action Policy, however,was not anti-British; their struggle was against the Congress. They opposed the Congress as

a Hindu party.

In a nutshell, Since Jinnah referred to the Congress as a Hindu Congress his policy was

directed against the Hindus. Thanks to the untiring efforts of the British, the Hindus and the

Muslims were not battling with each other on political issues, but were pitched in the battle

of Direct Action.

16 August 1946 was declared as the Direct Action Day, and was commemorated in Bengal,

where the Muslim League had formed a Government under H.S. Suhrawardy. The resultwas predictable. Rioting broke out.

INTERIM GOVERNMENT

Jinnah objected to the format of the Interim Government. First, the Muslim League was not

given representation equal to that of the Congress. Secondly, the Congress was not

prevented from naming a Muslim representative. On 24 August 1946, the first Interim

Government of India was announced under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru.

Wavell could not bear to see Jawaharlal Nehru form the Government. He openly confronted

the British Government with the issue of the Muslim League. He knew that once the

Assembly was called into session the last part of the Cabinet Mission Plan would be

complete.

And then the British would be left with no choice other than handing over the entire

control to the same Assembly.

But after several meetings and discussions held by Wavell it was agreed that the Muslim

League should be allowed to participate in the Interim Government, on condition that they

withdraw their decision against the proposal of the Cabinet Mission.

India was burning in the fire of Direct Action. Frequent riots were taking place in differentparts of the country. Thousands of innocent people were killed. Keeping in view, the

Constituent Assembly of India was called into session on 9 December 1946, in which the

Muslim League did not participate. The Assembly passed a resolution declaring its aims

and objectives. He announced that the Muslim League rejects the proposal of the Cabinet

Mission. After this announcement it became impossible for the Muslim League to remain

part of the Government.


15/39

Committees were formed for various departments, leaving a few seats vacant for the

Muslim League.

A meeting of the All India Congress Committee was held on 5 January 1947. The meeting

accepted the decision of the British Government to give the right to the groups rather than

to the individual provinces. The Muslim League did not have any excuse left now. On 29

January 1947, the Muslim League Working Committee Meeting was held in Karachi. After adiscussion of parameters it was decided that since the Congress did not accept the Cabinet

Mission Plan, it would be unacceptable to the Muslim League as well. In view of that the

Constituent Assembly should be dissolved.

Appointment of Mountbatten

Wavell was dismissed from his job because he didnt respond to the Government at that

time and Mountbatten was appointed.

The British were inclined to the state. They advised the Muslim League to get rid of theUnionists if they wanted Punjab and to throw out the Khudai Khidmatgars if they wanted

the Frontier. After this the entire concentration of the Muslim League and its supporters

was on the two provinces. The control on the Punjab was not a problem. The real problem

was the Frontiers (majority of khudai khidmatgars).

Sir OLAF CAROE was the External Affairs secretary in central Government. His assignment

was to keep an eye on the North-West boundary of India and watch the Afghanistan border.

British feared danger from the Russian side. To combat their ideology the British had been

wielding the Sword of Islam. The problem arose because the Frontier Province bordered

Russia on the side of Afghanistan (all the strategic military passes were located in this

area).

To complete their MILITARY CRESCENT British have to take the complete control over it.

During the elections British tried hard and could not bring this sensitive area under

control. The British were hell bent on hand over this area to Muslim League.

Neither elections, nor the communal rioting gave any foot-hold to the Muslim League.

Therefore, Jinnah hatched a dangerous plot, the details of which Iskander Mirza has written

in his autobiography.

Jinnah invited Iskander Mirza and said that, He was afraid; He was not going to get

Pakistan. Unless some serious trouble was created and the best place to do this were NWFP

and the adjacent tribal areas. Iskander Mirza wrote, Jinnah wanted him to do JEHAD into

the tribal territory.

Isknder Mirza comments that Jinnah was a very self-willed leader. He never listened to any

advice. To prove his point Mirza relates an incident. When Jinnah became the Governor-


16/39

General, Iskander Mirza asked him to show some consideration to the Muslim Leaguers.

Jinnah immediately replied; Who told you that the Muslim League brought in Pakistan? I

brought in Pakistan with my stenographer.

The above episode proves several points.

1. How willingly the high officials of the British Government worked for the MuslimLeague.

2. Jinnah having failed in achieving his objectives through legal and democratic meanswas prepared to use gang techniques to destroy the Khudai Khidmatgars

Government. He was willing to use the tribals for Jehad.

3. The British officials had brainwashed the tribal leaders to the extent that they wereprepared to attack their own country.

4. Princely States were willing to stake crores of rupees to destroy their own country.


17/39

STAGE 4

CREATE PAKISTAN AND SAVE WESTERN WORLD


18/39

When Mounbatten reached Delhi and began his discussion with political leaders, he held

his meeting with Gandhiji. Gandhiji said that Jinnah was prejudiced against the Congress

and the best way to remove this was to dissolve the Interim Government and allow Jinnah

to form a new Government.

Mountbattens second meeting was held with Jinnah. On hearing Gandhijis proposal Jinnahimmediately remarked that this disease had become so rampant that its only solution

was radical surgery. Jinnahs uncompromising stand was due to the fact that following the

departure of Wavell he lost hope of ever getting Pakistan.

Another alarming development was the American interest in Anglo-Indian affairs. When

relations between the two became very strained, America jumped in. On 1 May 1947 two

Americans, Ronald A. Hare, Head of the Division of South Asian Affairs, and Thomas E. Weil,

Second Secretary of U.S. Embassy in India, visited Jinnah. According to this account Jinnah

stated that under no condition was he prepared to accept the scheme for a united and

federated India. The Muslim League had decided to insist upon the creation of Pakistan:

Pakistan would be a Muslim country. Muslim countries stand together against

Russian aggression. In that endeavor they would look to the United States for

assistance, he added.

The second problem Jinnah presented to these Americans was also a part of the British

scheme. The establishment of Pakistan was essential to prevent the expansion of Hindu

imperialism to the Middle East.

Jinnah was trying to persuade the United States that it was politically useful to build anIslamic supporter against the Russians.

If India was allowed to remain unified then the bastion stretching from Turkey to China

would be incomplete. This message was being communicated by Jinnah through every

American Agent. The slogan was, "Create Pakistan and save the western world!"

Jinnahs proposals began to succeed, thanks to American interference.

Right from Linlithgow to Wavell, both Viceroys had twisted the communal situation in a

way so as to place the entire destiny of India in the hands of Jinnah.

Mountbatten was trying to persuade Jinnah to accept the Cabinet Mission's group

proposal. This is why he was continually making him aware of the difficulties that could

arise from the creation of Pakistan.

When Mountbatten realized how inflexible Jinnah was, he called Nawabzada Liaquat AIi

Khan and warned him that if Jinnah obstinately pursued the partition route he would get

nothing but. To quote his own words, a "truncated" and "moth-eaten" Pakistan.


19/39

These historical records and Government documents are a shocking re'/elation of the fact

that these leaders of the Muslim League were completely unconcerned about serving their

humble and weak brethren. Their actions were entirely governed by personal

considerations.


20/39

STAGE 5

PREPARATIONS OF SAVING THE WESTERN WORLD


21/39

The Muslim League was firm on its demand and Jinnah was not prepared to accept

anything short of Pakistan. This was the result of the quick efforts of the British. When the

Muslim League joined the Interim Government, knowing that business and industry were

in the hands of non-Muslims, Liaquat Ali Khan, while preparing his first budget, imposed

such heavy taxes that these capitalists and industrialists staggered beneath their adverse

impact. The first priority of the Congress had always been to provide relief to the poor. This

was a dead-end situation; therefore, they came to the unfortunate conclusion that it was

better to concede the demand of the Muslim League for Pakistan.

The British strategy was to keep both these countries as Dominions within the British

Commonwealth. Pakistan had no objection to this proposal.

The British were more interested in winning over India to the proposed arrangement in

which, as a Dominion, it would be a member of the British Commonwealth. A difficulty

arose, however, when the Constituent Assembly met in a joint session. It decided that India

may become a Republic but not a Dominion. The Government of India, being a successor

authority, should maintain its continuity of association with the British. Another difficulty

before India was the existence of over 600 Princely States. Since these States had entered

into treaties with the British Crown, their future status was uncertain unless the new

Government was recognized as the successor to the British Government: India's decision to

join the Commonwealth solved this problem. The only remaining obstacle was that the

structure of the Commonwealth would have to be altered so that a Republic could also

become a member.

The British were now satisfied that their communal policies had reached a logical

conclusion. Having used up all their tricks of divide and rule, they played their final trump

by presenting the patriots with the parting gift of partition.

To celebrate their departure they lit the communal spark before closing the door behind

them. The atmosphere thus created resulted in mass killings and a bloody carnage with a

disastrous impact on future generations.

Communalism, like galloping cancer, spread to every vital organ of the nation. Jinnah

prescribed surgery as the only solution. India, a land where Hindus and Muslims had lived

for centuries in harmony, amity and peace, and where the Muslims had ruled for centuries

without any disturbance, was going to be Balkanized through the Machiavellian designs of

the British. The partition of India was a partition of the Muslims.

When the Constituent Assembly of India decided upon a Republic instead of a Dominion, it

became clear to the British that their game was over. When India agreed to join the British

Commonwealth as a Republic, and accepted membership of the Commonwealth with the

Queen of England as the Head they were pleasantly shocked. What was more surprising for


22/39

the British was that the leaders of the Congress had decided that during the interregnum

and under the new constitution, they would elect Lord Mountbatten as the Governor

General of India. The British were astounded, that in these difficult circumstances when

India was about to decide her policies and plans for future, she had entrusted the reins of

power to an Englishman. This shows that its leaders had no personal enmity against the

British. It had also proved beyond doubt that its leaders were not motivated by their own

interest but by the interest of the country and nation.

Campbell Johnson wrote that in accordance with Mr. Jinnah's suggestion, Lord

Mountbatten was to be appointed the Governor General of both the Dominions. But Jinnah,

characteristically, had a last minute change of heart.

Campbell Johnson wrote that his colleagues suggested to Jinnah that in view of the fact that

the country had to face many problems such as demarcation of provinces, division of

assets, army, railway, etc., it was in the interest of Pakistan that during the interregnum,

Mountbatten should continue as the Governor-General.

But Jinnah was interested in authority and power. Mountbatten tried to explain that the

Governor General was only a constitutional position; the real power would rest with the

Prime Minister. To this Jinnah's answer was. In any position it is I who will give the orders

and others will act on them." Jinnah's decision to become Governor-General in the

prevailing circumstances was disappointing especially for the British. The British united

the Muslims under the banner of the Muslim League, and propped up Jinnah so that he

could stand up and fight against the Congress. Jinnah's decision not to opt for a common

Governor- General was, therefore, all the more shocking and irresponsible.

MUSLIM LEAGUE AND PRINCELY STATES

One-fifth of the Indian Territory was under princely rule. The inhabitants of these states

comprised two-fifth of the total population; out of forty corers they totaled sixteen corers.

There were approximately six hundred states of varying sizes.

The map of India was broken into fragments of various sizes, each of which comprised of

the princely states. Across the country one saw various examples of governance by nawabs

and maharajas. The congress policy was that the people of every state should decide theirown destiny. The Muslim leagues stand was that this right should be exclusively vested

with the ruler. His subjects should simply follow him to whichever side he chooses.

The league had in mind princely states such as Hyderabad Deccan. Bhopal and Rampur

where the rulers were Muslims and the majority of inhabitants non-Muslims. Although

these states were at a distance from the Pakistan border the distance was not as vast as the


23/39

distance between Karachi and Dacca. On the basis of this argument presented by the

Muslim league, the accession of these states to Pakistan was feasible. No one could take an

exception to their logic that the ruler should decide the fate and future alliance of this state.

They were in fact anxious to impress upon the British that the Muslims of India did not

want them to leave.

Kashmir presented another difficulty for India. The leaders were indifferent to what would

happen to Kashmir where maharaja was a Hindu while majority of the population was

Muslim in case the right of the ruler deciding about the accession was conceded. When the

report of the district commission was received the district of Guradaspur was included in

India, it extended Indian boundaries to Kashmir. Muslim league has no right to object to the

district of Gurdaspur becoming the part of India if Hindu maharaja of this state wanted to

accede to India. In this manner the Muslim league presented Kashmir to India on a golden

platter because they had already declared that the accession of the Indian states would be

decided by the rulers.

COMMUNAL POLITICS AND IDEOLOGY OF MUSLIM LEAGUE

The Muslim league considered itself to be the custodian of the rights of the Muslims. It

offered Pakistan as a solution to the problems of the Muslims. Not only was it being a

Muslim country, but also an Islamic state. It is important to make distinction between these

two concepts. There are many where there are Muslims in majority: an Islamic country is

the one where Islamic system of government is established and the Muslim league declared

that Pakistan will be a country with Islamic judiciary and Islamic society.

The main argument of Muslim league was that India consisted of two nations and it should

be portioned on the basis of religion. Jinnah declared this principle in 1940 while

explaining the resolution of Pakistan. According to him to yoke such two nations must lead

to destruction.

Before this the concept of nation was associated with the country like Britain, Russia,

France etc have people with different religion, faiths and communities but they are all

known as one nation. This theory persuaded the British government to carve separate state

of Israel from Palestine.

The Muslim league believed that Hindus were there enemies but and although they knew

that the real enemy was the British. The British want to destroy the rule of Muslims in all

over the world but in India they systematically exploited both Muslims and the Hindus but

the Muslim league was with the British and considered all enemies of British as their

enemies. The league was opposed to the brave soldiers of Islam, the ulemas of deoband.


24/39

Muslim league stated that sir syed Ahmed khan was in support of two nations theory but

according to Wali khan he was against it. Sir Syed Ahmed khan said that all the people

inhabiting one country are designated by the term one nation. According to him the word

Hindu and Mohammadan are meant for religious distinction otherwise all who reside in

one country belong to one nation.

Sir Syed Ahmed khan and Sir Mohammad Iqbal have same approach as Iqbal said we all

are Indians, we all are Hindus and our homeland is Hindustan. According to him Islam

doesnt teach hatred so how religious tenets can vary with the political ideology.

Various resolutions passed on the partition of India. The demand for Pakistan was high in

provinces with least Muslims. The question of safeguarding the rights of the Muslims did

not arise in provinces ruled by Muslim leaders and where Muslims were in majority but

was valid in provinces where non-Muslims were in majority.

The Muslim already had full authority in provinces which were to comprise Pakistan onlydifference was that these were not grouped under a name PAKISTAN. The real problem

was of Muslims in provinces with minority.

With the proclamation of Pakistan communal riots erupted all over. All the sole

representatives and leaders of the Muslims safely migrated to Pakistan leaving behind the

Muslims in the mire of bloodshed. The Muslims were helpless but had no choice but to live

with those Hindus and Sikhs who were affected by riots. As a legacy of the Muslim league

political problem thus become a religious one and political battle became communal one.

According to Wali khan who is responsible for the riots between Hindus and the Muslims

and the bloodshed of the Muslims were they were in minority?

Muslim league has aroused hatred between these two nations which could never be

quenched.

COMMUNAL RIOTS AND CONGRESS

As a result of the politics of the Muslim league, the whole country was in frenzy. There were

however certain forces amongst Muslims and non-muslims to stifle the hatred. Amongst

Muslims an organized effort was made by the khudai khidmatgars but Muslim league tried

to overthrow them. It was the anti-national elements who had been paid to star plunder

with an unlimited license to kill. The volunteers of Muslim league used to taunt the khudai

khidmatgars by saying that they were trying to protect Hindus. The British helped secretly

in driving away the non-Muslims from these areas as this was in interest of Muslim league.

They were moved to other parts of the subcontinent which later become India. In other

parts of the country Gandhiji tried to stop the communal riots.

STAGE 6

TRIUMPH OF BRITISH AGENDA


26/39

REPUDIATION/DENIAL OF THE TWO-NATION THEORY BY MUSLIM

LEAGUE

Muslim league accepted the cabinet mission that means they abandoned their demand for

Pakistan as well as two nations theory. If Muslim league decided to create Pakistan on the

principle of Islam then how the same can leaders would abandon their demand thereby

giving up the ideology of Islam just for the political purposes. This party exploited religion

in order to gain political objectives but there were few organizations which were truly

working for Islam like ulemas from Dar-ur-Uloom of Deoband.

All the political leaders acted in accordance with their own wishes. Jinnah met number of

religious leaders and Pirs and told them that Pakistan would be an Islamic state in which

Shariat would be followed but he said to Iskander Mirza that we is going to have a modem

state.

When Muslim league was allowed to join the interim government they included minister

who was a Hindu.

Jinnah declared a speech on 11 august 1947. Several new aspects are reflected in his

speech. Firstly he used a word community for Hindus and the Muslims instead of a nation.

Another important aspect is that he mentions Pakhtoons and Punjabis along with Shias and

Sunnis similarly for Hindus he mentions Bengalis and Madrasis along with Brahmins,

Sudras and Kshatriyas. That means he made no distinction between the religious and

regional identity. He faced a serious problem of reconciling his politics with the religious

ideology. He declared that the Hindus in Pakistan would also be called Pakistanis and will

be considered one nation but on the basis of religion they could be described as different

communities. It is ironic that these two communities are living together for centuries. The

only changed occur was that a part of this country was given a new name otherwise

Pakistan had no ideology of its own. Its ideology was the ideology of Muslim League.

Jinnah rejected the two nations theory and accepted secularism. Another point was that

Muslim League gave communal policies by suggesting that the voting should be on

communal lines but later Jinnah made it clear that there would be no discrimination on the

basis of faith, creed, community or caste so Muslim League had to accept the joint

electorate.


27/39

14 AUGUST 1947

In the days of freedom communal fires started. Everyone was intent upon cutting the

others throat. All human values were eroded. Houses were set on fire and stream of blood

flowed in towns and cities.

Lored Mountbatten came to Pakistan and transferred powers to the governor general of

Pakistan

FORMATION OF GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN

When the central government of Pakistan was formed, Jinnah became the governor

general, Liaquat Ali khan prime minister and all the Muslim League leaders become the

ministers, many of them were Hindus. Joginder Nath Mandal was given the portfolio of law.

The Muslim League promised that Pakistan would be an Islamic country and would be

governed by Islamic and Quranic laws then how is it possible that an Islamic state is

governed by the Hindu ministers? This was a slap on the faces of the Ulemas.

British were neither the foes of the Hindus nor the friends of the Muslims. They set up

Pakistan to fulfill their own purposes and under the compulsion of their international

policies. The British knew that as a consequence of the partition both countries would be

weakened. Although Indias sovereignty was guaranteed but its international border

defense was weak and apart from that India was also deprived of the Punjabi Muslamans

who were the excellent soldiers and had played useful role in the expansion of the British

Empire. India was also facing several economic difficulties. Factories were on the Indian

border while raw material was on Pakistan side.

The problems of Pakistan were more complex than India. The main problem was of her

geography. Her two parts were separated by thousand miles through Indian Territory

where effects of communal riots persisted so Pakistan was completely dependent on Indiafor communication between its eastern and western sectors. British were satisfied that

Pakistan would always keep relations with them but they were not sure about India

because they have sacrificed so much for freedom so British would never dare to use them

for their imperialist policies.

Muslim league had done nothing for freedom. The brinish were aware that in whole

Pakistan only khudai khidmatgars of NWFP who had struggled against the British


28/39

imperialism, Muslim League was also against them because Muslim league were supporting

British and the British knew that Pakistan would take many years to stand on its own and

the government of Pakistan have to look up to the British for assistance. Another reason

was that the leaders were not locally borned but had migrated from India. They did not

have their roots in new country. The government did everything what British had expected

them to do. The governors of the provinces except Sindh and chiefs of Pakistan army, air

force and navy all were British. Pakistan had always admired the British officers and

Iskander Mirza has mentioned two British officers through whose intervention skardu was

included in the accession Gilgit??????????????????????????

The khudai khidmatgars struggled for freedom and they were with congress in the freedom

fight. Muslim League started to call them the agents of the Hindus and inn addition to that

they were called the descendants of the Hindus but then the very Muslim league leaders did

not lose a moment in occupying the evacuated Hindu properties. Here the point is that if

the descendants of Hindus were alive that was the khudai khidmatgars then how can

Muslim League claim on that property. The question here is that they had never fought for

freedom and they had always opposed the organizations that were anti-British so how can

they occupy that property.

Muslim league was the successor of the British and the only basis for the claim rest on the

fact that they are the real children of the British. After Second World War, the British

colonial power ended and how the British entrusted all their imperialist policies to the USA.


29/39

MAIN THEME


30/39

After going through the entire book we have came to know about the main theme of this

book that was British had a pre-plan to break the sub-continent. The congress was the

party of the mediocre, they worked for the poor people and they struggled for freedom on

the other hand was the Muslim league and it was the party of the elites and the nawabs

they always worked for their self-interest. They have put no effort in the freedom so,

British used Muslim league for its own purposes and sponsored Jinnah to achieve its

interests. Muslim league was also with the British and they supported the British.

EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE

Now the question here is that what the interest of the British behind this was. The British

actually wanted to break the communist setup of the Asia as Afghanistan, Russia, china,

sub-continent all were the communist states and if the sub-continent was not partitioned

then this bloc would have been strengthened and Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other gulf

countries would also have become the part of this bloc and the Asian continent would have

become strong and dominated in the world and these countries would also be able to tradefreely in the world along the seas. As Russia has a sea with cold water that is not good for

trade where the Arabia sea has a hot water which is good for trade and shipment and

Karachi is located at the Arabian sea. So, if the sub-continent was not partitioned then

Russia would be able to trade easily through the Arabian sea that was not in the favor of

the British because British wanted to get control on these countries for its own benefits t

why British used Muslim league to implement its policies and to break the sub-continent to

establish an anti-communist state that will act as a resistance between the communist

countries and they would not be able to trade. The great game was all about the oil and the

British want to keep away the Russia from the oil in Iraq and the Iran and Pakistan was the

part of their game strategy.

The British were neither the foes of the Hindus nor the friends of the Muslims. They setup

Pakistan not as a gesture of friendship towards the Muslims but under the compulsion of

their international policies.

EVIDENCE FROM BOOK

In the book it is mentioned that the British had planned to construct an ideological citadel

of Islam in the territory stretching from turkey to china as a buffer against the rise of the

communist ideology so that it would act as a ring around the soviet Russia. In order to

achieve this objective, it mattered a little for British if India was partitioned. In short they

wanted to fulfill their own purpose.

The British declared Muslim league as a sole representatives of the Muslims although there

were many other parties that were working for the rights of the Muslims like Wahabis,

Khaksars, Ulemas of Deoband but as the British wanted to use the Muslim league for its


31/39

own interests so it declared that Muslim league is the only party that is working for the

Muslims.

Apart from this entire Muslim league itself worked for the British because after partition all

the provinces of Pakistan had British governors and also the chiefs of army, air force and

navy. For this point we can say that if Pakistan was established on the basis of Islam and onIslamic system then why its system is entrusted to the non-Muslims?

Jinnah in his speech said that Muslims and Hindus are two communities. They are not one

nation. This statement clearly shows that Jinnah was in favor of the British because he only

differentiated Hindus and the Muslims not the Muslims and the non-Muslims because

British were also the non-Muslims and according to Islam Muslims and non-Muslims are

the two nations.

During First World War the strongest Islamic power was Ottoman Empire. The British

destroyed the Ottoman Empire now they were faced with the Russian revolution. TheBritish were in a panic, they had to think of a new technique for countering this idealism. At

last they reached the conclusion that there was only one missile that would workIslam.

They wanted an Islam which would align with their capitalist colonial empire and become

an ideological weapon for them. They realized that Islam could be used in hostile positions

on this political chessboard, and through this they can destroy the other Islamic nations.

The British were hoping to create hatred between the Hindus and the Muslims, which was

the precise reverse of the Khudai Khidmatgars' philosophy. The British were using Islam to

save their Empire; because they knew that the Khudai Khidmatgars will be united with the

party which was fighting for freedom. That was the Indian National Congress, a national

body, which included Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians and The British knew that

within the country their real enemy was the Congress. The British realized that they could

use Islam as an idealistic force against Russia, so also could it be used as a disruptive force

against the Congress. It could become a communal tool for creating hatred between the

Hindus and the Muslims. It could also be used as a counterfoil to the communist ideology.

The British used Islam against Russia and they started saying Russians as anti-God to

create a Muslim aversion for Russia.

The last point is that if Pakistan was established on the basis of Islam then what democracy

is doing here? The Muslim league had given the state a fundamental principal of Islam LAILAHA ILLAL LAH then why we are practicing the democratic system instead of Islamic

system.


32/39

CRITIQUE


33/39

There are many discrepancies in Wali khans book (Facts are Facts), which proves that case

was not exactly the same which he is trying to portray ; As there is always a brighter side

along with the darker side of any picture, which tells us that yet there is a room for

improvement.

Here are some weaknesses and strengths of Facts are Facts which we have analyzed:

STRENGTH

The only strength which we could find in Facts are Facts was that it is an:

Eye OpenerThis book is an Eye opener for all of us. As it reveals the hidden facts of Sub-continent

partition. Every one of us always thought that Pakistan was a result of Muslims and Muslim

league joint efforts in order to get a geographical boundary to implement Islamic valuesand rules whereas case was not the same; as it was a British plan to divide sub-continent in

the name of Islam to prevent the formation of a big Communist block as congress was

communist in nature so Muslim league at that time was the only political part which could

be used in order to bring results in their (British) own favor.

Weaknesses

Coming to weaknesses, we have found various discrepancies in Facts are Facts. Some of

them are:

Against Muslim LeagueMajor evidences and arguments given in this book go against Muslim League as if Muslimleague have not done anything in the partition of sub-continent whereas case was not

exactly the same because the aims of Muslim league were:

1. To safe guard and protect Muslims interests and to convey theirdemands to British Government.

2. To create a feeling of respect and good will in British government forthe Muslims.

3. To promote brotherhood between the different nations of India.So, it cannot be said in any way that there was no contribution or effort from Muslim

leagues side in the struggle for Pakistan or that it was totally British controlled party

because as we all knows that With every bad thing there is always a good thing also.


34/39

Against JinnahMany arguments given in the book are against Jinnah. That partition was a pre planned

plot by British to divide the Muslim and Hindu communities, which encompasses the

assumption that Muslims and Hindus never had a problem of co-existing; partition was due

to Jinnahs apparent lust for power. This is totally a Stern statement about a leader who had

made himself the foremost representative of the Muslims by a devotion to what he thought

was in the best interest of the Muslim People. He was an open-minded and sophisticated

man who disliked the Muslim and Hindu small-mindedness that produced fanaticism

according to some people. Jinnah was exceptionally shrewd and bright lawyer, a Man who

pressed hard to achieve his Target (Partition of Pakistan). Discrepancies are in every

person, but we cant accuse any person especially like Jinnah that he was not interested in

the formation of Pakistan or he had a Lust for power!

Muslim league was responsible of violence on MuslimsAccording to facts depicted by Wali Khan in this book, only Muslim league was responsible

of the riots and assassination of Muslims during migration and even of Muslims who

remained there. So, in this case what Muslim could do in that situation when those Muslims

were not ready to leave Hindustan?

Iqbal was not in favor of Partition:Wali Khan wrote in Facts are Facts that Iqbal was not in the favor of partition of Sub-

continent and against two-nation theory, for this purpose he quoted a verse from his

poetry that

MAZHAB NAHI SIKHATA APAS MEIN BAIR RKHNA

HINDI HEIN HUM WATAN HAI HINDUSTAN HAMARA

By quoting this verse he totally ignored several other verses which were supporting

Muslims.

He did not mention even once that Iqbal was a dreamer for a separate homeland for

Muslims.

Wali Khans favor of CongressWali khan, in various parts of his book, supported congress that they were the actual

freedom fighters i.e. they were the true representative of their nation as compared to

Muslim league which was playing in the hands of British only for their own self-interest.

This all points makes his patriotism dubious. Wali khan became controversial figure

because of his association to the congress which opposed the creation of Pakistan. He

wrote that there should be good relations between Muslims and Hindus which was totally

absurd.

Khudai Khidmatgar Movement

Wali khan, at various points in his book supported Khudai Khudmatgar movement, which

was started by his father Bacha khan. Khudai khidmatgar most of the times supported

Hindus for protecting their rights whereas they opposed Muslims & their freedom

movements most of the times. Whereas Wali khan was portraying khudai khidmatgars as

peace lovers. They actually wanted their own separate government in frontier province.


36/39

About the Author (January 1917-january 2007)

Wali khan was a British Indian and later a Pakistani democratic socialist

and Pashtun leader, and served as president of National Awami Party. Son of the prominent

Pashtun nationalist leader Bacha Khan, Wali Khan was an activist and a writer against

the British Raj like his father. After completing his education he formally stepped into

politics by joining the Indian National Congress where he eventually served as a provincial

joint secretary of the party. After the formation of Pakistan, National Awami Party & than

the current Awami National Party (ANP). His father was the founder of khudai

khidmatgar. Wali Khan and by extension his party and family had a long association with

senior leaders in the Congress Party of India because of his fathers close association with

Ghandi.

Another question raise about his personality that whether he was a Traitor or Patriot?

Because He has been criticized for backing separatist ideals as well as social unrest in

Pakistan. His critics also blame him for alienation of Pashtuns from rest of Pakistan and for

supporting "Anti-Pakistani forces". He remained tagged with the title of traitor by the state

run Media and Pakistan's ruling establishment for much of his political career. Talking

about Wali khan, he accused most of the Muslim league leaders even Jinnah that they

were working for self-interest than what about him? He was also not in the favor of the

partition of sub-continent; he wanted his separate government in frontier province and

when that not happened he got furious by righting against Jinnah and Muslim league.

He was also tagged with the accusation of being a communist; he was in fact more of a

secular Pashtun Nationalist who was only working for getting a separate government in

Frontier Province, as a statement of Wali Khan made his views clear:

I am a Pakhtun and will remain Pakhtun forever

Instead of calling himself a Pakistani he always felt proud in calling himselfas Pakhtun


37/39

Current Scenario in Comparison with what happened in Past

Taking about the pre-partition scenario, this land which we call as Pakistan was taken in

the name Islam; to implement Islamic rules and values here but at the same time we can

see that Muslim league leaders worked for their own interests rather than working for

Muslims, to struggle for a separate homeland Muslims. No doubt that at that time there

were few good Muslim leaders as well like Iqbal who were guiding nation for a right way to

prosper in their lives.

Talking about the current continuity of Pakistan, this specific geographical boundary

was taken in the name of Islam, what where is Islam here? Are there any Islamic values

implemented here as the slogan of Pakistan was

Pakistan ka mtlb kya? La-ila-ha-il-lallah!

Muslim league claimed that they are going to have an Islamic state, but now every political

part is working for its own interests, as Muslim league was already a part of elites so how

can they become aware of the necessities of common man. They supportincreased interest

rates, killing of innocent Muslims by drone attacks; increased direct & indirect taxation

which ultimately raises the cost of living, there is no proper Islamic curriculum in our

education system to make aware our generation that how Islam gives solutions to our

different economic issue even in this era and last but not the least every political part

which is present today is US & British Follower and loyalist.

So, it can be said that situation before partition and after partition is or more or less same,there is no visible differences!


38/39

CONCLUSION

Pakistani politics has started to take an adverse route as the layman pursues to struggle in

the rut. The current situation in Karachi and Baluchistan is worse than ever. The blame of

these riots is clearly on politicians who are just manipulating different groups to get

benefits for themselves. If the Current political situation in Pakistan does not change, the

country would keep on suffering at the hands of monarchs. Pakistan is a developing

country and it is politically unstable but we live in the world where everything is

possible. Democratic governments have always failed even to provide basic necessities to

common man. In Pakistani politics, there is a clear domination by few only families like

Mian Family, Chaudhary family and Bhutto family and these families have never ever

produced long lasting fruitful results. The political system has been stagnant since 1947

and no drastic change has taken place. If we observe the political situation of Pakistan,

much of the politics is based on different ethnic groups. Its fair to say thatthe currentpolitical situationof Pakistan is in dire need of substantial changes if we

compare it to the political systems of leading nations in the world.

Looking atFacts are Facts, we came to know Muslims before partition were being badly

fooled by British and most of the Muslim league leaders in the name of Islam i.e. they are

going to have a separate homeland for the implementation of Islam where there will be no

discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, color, a land where there will be peace & where

protection will be given to every citizen on the basis of equality. But does that happened?

And we all are aware with the answer, A BIG NO! In fact things got worst with the passage

of every single day. No respect is given here to poor people; they are badly deprived ofalmost everything. Even these day almost 90% ofPakistans population is deprived of their

basic need; no electricity, no clean drinking water, poor situation of government schools,

high cost of living, killing of innocent people without any guilt, drone attacks, operations

against so-called Talibans, invading of foreigner spys and then our government let them go

by giving them title of ambassador; these all are not only mere statements, yes this all is

happening here in real!

Do we still have to think that why all this is happening? Dontwe have any common sense

to understand that what is going here and why? Where is Islam here? Did this democracy

worked for common good or it just served interests of our so called leaders who already

belong to elite class and the most loyalists of British & US.

These 66 years of Democracy have proved that its not the solution to our problems, theactual & real solution to every problem every economic downfall is the implementation of

Sharia here. Sharia is the only solution to every problem. Islam has given a complete code

of life 1400 years ago. Only Divine Law is perfect, Man-made law always carries

discrepancies in it. Then why we are looking for solutions from democracy? This can never

give us the best solution to any problem! No leader is going to be loyal with us, no one is

going to work for the interest of common man, its us who should stand up now forprotecting our rights to implement Islam, we should stop behaving like fools! If, still we are

not going to stand then this all will be our great misfortune and a big catastrophe will be at

no length from us!

The role of youth in politics seems to be missing in this scenario and needs to be looked

upon if the country is to strive for betterment.

Lets join hands, lets walk together, lets make Pakistan a best country!
