can you find me any place where he said that was his goal? although he/Pakistan did give citizenship to anyone who made the move whether fleeing violence or not.

whether they decided to uproot from friends, their jobs and families to go to a country they never saw depended on strongly invested they were in their political views versus their personal circumstances.

So what was his goal?
Creation of a muslim majority country was his aim. He succeeded and his brothers failed him. When will you guys learn that religion cannot guarantee uniformity and nationhood.

@ravage

so you say, lets not make judgement calls. The perception of Muslims supporting India is wider than you think, especially in times of tension with Pakistan, even with Indian Muslims who want to be loyal to India:

Those who suspect loyal muslims ( majority of them are) are fools themselves and would be marginalized as well.

@ravage

what does a secular democratic republic have to do with it? everywhere where “revolts” were “quenched” (or are being quenched) that was hardly through democratic means, rather suppression, the same means that the British used.

You need to use limited force to suppress the hardcore elements of the group, and then allow for pacification in terms of power sharing to bring them to the main stream political system and make them part of India.
India as a nation cannot be classified as a single entity having a uniform religious and cultural population. Each and every group contribute to the nation. When there was the punjab problem it was the Punjabi’s themselves who fought against the separatist with active help from other part of India. But not one single group benefited or exploited any other group. Whenever such tendency occur then democracy allows for correction.
