The Potential of Pakistan

Re: The Potential of Pakistan

What are you upset about? The part about the British using Pakistan to create tension is true. Churchill himself wrote to Jinnah under a pseudonym to convince him to return to India and fight for the creation of a separate state. When the British got to India, it was one of the largest economies in the world. When they left, India/Pakistan were near the bottom. That should be all you need to know about their occupation.

Another dangerous idea (to the British) was that in addition to a united Desi country, the richest and most influential Muslims in the world would have lived in this united state, making the Middle East a natural ally. Combine this with China and the West would have been outclassed.
