Re: Jinnah: Q & A (merged)
Harris,
u never know what palestinisn would have in time to come, and how soon.
But Arafat's position was very exaggerated in outside world. He lost his prestige a long time ago. Same was the case with Jinnah. He is a king and 'father' in Pakistan's text books only. The very seed of provincialism was fiorst sowed by him, declaring Bengalis need to use Urdu at all costs
It is time, we understand history from people's perspective. Leaders come and go, but as long as the passion remains alive, the nation has some future. If we justify bribery, military dictatorship, and govt control (like most of u do), then there is no future, Jinnah's presence notwithstanding.
