Why some personalities have been made so sacred that even talking against their political mistakes is considered as blasphemy?
I mean why don’t we treat them like normal human beings and discuss their mistakes to avoid happenings of disasters we faced due to these mistakes?
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
Who are you talking about ? 
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
There are many.
Hint: Muslim league leaders who are considered to be the founder of Pakistan. They did some political and administrative mistakes, but as they are considered as holy cows, no one talks about such mistakes.
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
Well at least in our friend and family circle we have criticized almost everyone including Gandhiji,Nehruji etc, Hindus even criticize action of their gods too:D
One thing is whatever these holy cows did it is wrong for us to measure them in present day parameters, some decision are proved right or wrong only by the passage of time:)

But when their past moves still affect our today, why can't we talk about them. I agree that no one is perfect, but when we Muslims can talk about the mistakes of companions of Prophet like Hazrat Uthman & Hazrat Muawiya, why can't we talk about political mistakes done by Muslim league leadership in initial days of Pakistan.

Now if Muslim League decisions and actions aren't discussed then it is really problematic. Whatever we do in this life it goes till eternity, said Bhagwan Krishna in Mahabharat, so whatever action our political leadership took it made future generation's destiny. Few decision seemed right then but time proved them wrong. I suppose the younger generation should learn to criticize. "Aankh band karke kisi ke peeche chalna bhi gulami hi hai:("
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
Everyone praise the Muslim League leadership, but no one talks about the promotion of feudalism by Muslim League. It was represented by Nawabs and still dominated by Chohdris, Tiwanas, Doltanas, etc and feudals in all its factions.
No one talks about the mistakes of Mr Jinnah regarding Bengali language openly, which formed the basis of contention.
No one talks about the reason behind providing an ambulance without sufficient fuel to the first Governor General of Pakistan from Mauripur Airport to his house.
No one talks about the not giving representations to the locals in first cabinet of Pakistan.
They are avoided by calling them controversy theories :(
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
Only pundas can liberate from landlords j/k:D
Muslim League was pro landlord from the beginning, The indian national congress which got almost half of the Muslim votes in UP refused to form joint government in UP (United Province then) because league was pro landlord:)
But why did league became irreverent in Pakistani politics after death of Fatima Jinnah:confused:
How was the struggling days of migrated community of Muhajirs, they were mostly economist, doctors, engineers etc??
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
After Fatima Jinah's death, Muslim League now divided in many factions including Muslim Laeague (Q - Quaid e Azam), Muslim League (N_Nawaz Sharif), Muslim League (F- Function). Every feudal made his dedh eent ki masjid... but the basic structure remain the same. feudalism :( All feudal claim to be representative of Muslim League that made Pakistan :D
No doubt Migrants did contribute with their skills, education a lot to Pakistan. They are the heroes of Pakistan. But somehow, due to circumstances created from the first day, they couldn't be assimilated with their local Muslim brothers. Considering local culture and languages inferior by the upper lot of Muslim league divided the people, who were ready to mingle and accept each other on religious basis. :(
Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows

Re: Sacred History of Holy Cows
