Re: Indian Muslim leaders who were not happy with making of ‘Pakistan’?
The difference is none of the other places was trumpeted to be the promised land for muslims. We cannot just say, “Its ok, that other country is worse”. Is it a race to the bottom? As long as we are not at the bottom, we are ok? Something got lost between Allama’s vision and zia ul haq’s implementation. Now pakistan is nether a truly islamic country nor a pure democracy. The powers that be in these two camps carry out vigilante justice, often on the poor and weak. “Well, India is worse” is not really a coherent argument, even if the point is being made by KKF or Southie or any other Indian. Those guys are here coz they care about pakistan not to make you feel bad.
