State of confusion in a lunatic asylum in the subcontinent in 1947:
Those who had tried to solve this mystery had become utterly confused when told that Sialkot, which used to be in India, was now in Pakistan. It was anybody’s guess what was going to happen to Lahore, which was currently in Pakistan, but could slide into India any moment. It was also possible that the entire subcontinent of India might become Pakistan. And who could say if both India and Pakistan might not entirely vanish from the map of the world one day?
By 1999, the confusion has spread backwards in time too:
The article continued that a Pakistani textbook claims that by the 13th century ‘Pakistan had spread to include the whole of northern India and Bengal.’ Furthermore, Pakistan apparently ‘moved further southwards to include a greater part of central India and the Deccan’. Rather a fluid thing, this ‘Pakistan’. And how come it then retreated to the Northwest thereafter? And here I was, thinking somebody had invented ‘Pakistan’ at Cambridge in the 1920s!
2001, 50 years of confusion in the state turns it into a lunatic asylum:
My Dear Indians If you think I am Violent Hindu then that is not true. By default meaning of Hindu is Human. And I have 1000’s of examples to prove those things. By creating this map (of Akhand Bharat) I am just try to warn those people who think that Indians are cavard or they can live with any type of situation. India is still not one until and unless we add Pakistan in our country. Pakistan is an artificial nation created by Mr. Jinha. He never like Karachi or Lahore, He was in love of Bombay.

I dunno what is that you want to convey but your first quote seems to be straight out of a short-story Toba Tek Singh Saadat Hassan Manto after Independence. Manto was subsequently jailed in Pakistan.

you are right, chilli. and manto left india because hindu fanatics threated the film company he worked for to sack all muslims. the second passage is from an article by some indian journalist, the third is from a website of someone who says he is an ordinary indian.
