ISI's dirty war against Pakistan

Re: ISI’s dirty war against Pakistan

Two Nation Theory worked first time in 1905 when Bengal was partitioned and Muslim Bengalis welcomed this decision of the British as they had been oppressed by Hindu Bengali elites.

Hindu Bengalis rejected the partition of Bengal and protested against the decision. Apparently they were against the Two Nation idea. The British succumbed to the pressure and reversed the partition in 1911. Bengali Muslims were highly disappointed!

In 1947, Hussain Shaheed Sohrawardy struggled to keep Bengal united, but this time Hindu Bengalis supported the Two Nation Theory and voted to partition Bengal between India and Pakistan.

Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus also practiced the Two Nation Theory by voting for the partition of Punjab in 1947.

Now let me explain the phenomenon of Bangladesh:

In 1940 Lahore Resolution, All India Muslim League under the leadership of Jinnah adopted the formation of Two states for Muslims. One in the East (Bengal with Assam) and the other in the North West (present Pakistan with the whole of Punjab).

However, the final authority was the British. They forced the League to agree on ‘one state Pakistan’ and not a ‘two state Pakistan’ in 1946. Though it was not a viable option with both wings over a 1000 miles apart.

Therefore the creation of Pakistan in 1947 with two wings 1000 miles apart was not realistic. Both wings were totally different **geographically, **socially, culturally with only one commonality as religion. They were one nation but the geography did not make it possible for them to live together. The way Pakistan and Afghanistan can’t live together, or the way Pakistan and Malaysia can’t live together because both have very different lifestyles, it was not realistic that East Bengalis and West Pakistanis would live together. The 1947-divided-Pakistan was imposed on us by the British, like the Kashmir problem was imposed on us by the same white masters.

Bangladesh is a reality, and East Bengalis had to be separated sooner or later, though the way it happened was tragic and shameful.
