Recently heard Hasan Nisar Sahab's TV interviews and other speeches. Mr. Hasan Nisar is a renowned journalist of Pakistan. I heard his views on the creation of Pakistan, contemporary issues in Pakistan, India- Pakistan relations, the religious fundamentalism in Pakistan, failure of governance by successive governments, Division of power between Pakistani military and the government. He is a keen observer of the international politics and dynamics of various nations in the changing world order. Unlike the government propaganda that Pakistan often does against India, he has honestly accepted the Pakistani hand in destabilizing the peace and governance in Indian Kashmir. He firmly says that it was Pakistan who sent its army to Kashmir in 1948 and it was an open aggression against Kashmir then due to which the then King of Kashmir agreed Kashmir's union with India.
He says it was the Nehru's insistence to become Prime Minister of India due to which Mohammad Ali Jinna was forced to ask for a separate state for Muslims. He also agrees that it was a big mistake that Pakistan was formed then. As a state Pakistan has totally failed as it was created only on one basis and that is religion. It was the Muslim influential masses mostly from the states of Bihar and UP who wanted to have a separate state in the name of Islam migrated to the other side of the border and controlled the politics of Pakistan. They failed the aspirations of local people rather exploited the local people. Urdu was not the local language of the areas under Pakistan. They had their own languages like Punjabi, Gujarati, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Baluch but Urdu was imposed on them. It was done in such a manner that now the local people of Sindh, Gujarat, Punjab, Baluchistan, Kashmir fear to speak in their own languages. It was a linguistic cleansing there. If somebody speaks other than Urdu in any of these states, he is thought to be uncivilized.
He says Pakistani's successive governments have distorted their history. They have no national heroes to boast off. They have made national heroes to those invaders who once came to the cities of Pakistan like Lahore and looted millions and raped the local ladies mercilessly. Names like Mohammad Bin Kasim, Ahmad Sah Abdali, Mohammad Gauri on the name of which they have kept their missiles are the invaders who came from Arab world, Turkey, Iran etc. were those who invaded then Hindustan part of which is now under Pakistan and raped thousands of ladies rampantly wherever they went. Pakistanis people feel pride in falsely adding their names to the people of Arab world, Turkey etc. with whom neither they resemble in looks, nor in language, nor in cuisines, customs and traditions. On the other hand, in their neighbourhood they are divided in the name of Pathan, Sheikh, Sayed, Jats, Gurjars and many more. They don't want to keep relations with other castes. Those arabs and Turks with whom they falsely try to add their names and say they are descendants of those, when those invaders came to Hindustan they always treated the Indian muslims along with Hindus third grade citizens. Even now in Arab World common Indian and Pakistani Muslims are untouchables for them.
He adds, Pakistanis can never count a single national hero for themselves. There were a few local (muslim) heroes in Undivided India like Tipu Sultan or Haidar Ali but they were not big enough names whom they could boast off as a national hero. Just because of religion, the national heroes like Chandragupta or Ashoka the great will never be told to the students of History in Pakistan. He openly admires these Heroes and criticizes Pakistan for naming Abdali, Gauri, Mughals as their heroes. Mughals were from Arab world. They were not Indians. When Shahajahan created Jama Maszid of Delhi, he didn't find even a single Maulana in India for the masjid. He called a Maulana from Bukhara, Arab. Even now the Maulanas are the descendent of the same family from Bukhara. Mughals were invaders and had come from Arab world and so they always felt themselves superiors.and so they never trusted local Indian muslims although in the Mughal era, the conversion of Hindus to Muslims was rampant.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah was only second generation Muslim who created Pakistan. Those people could not live with India just because they wanted their separate identity. In India since both the religions were living together, their identity was like a newly converted Muslim. So they could not have enjoyed that power that they could fulfill by creation of Pakistan.
Mr. Hasan Nisar Shab also openly criticizes Pakistani government for creating a hostile atmosphere against India. First by 1948 aggression in Kashmir in which Pakistan hold the territories of Kashmir valley, part of which it gifted to China, why? If Pakistan was so much concerned with the Kashmiris, why their land was gifted to China? Have they got any answers to it. In the Pakistan held Kashmir, the local people are not allowed to speak in their Kashmiri language, what's this? And they are asking for the rest of the Kashmir from India.
The Pakistani government is not even been able to manage its own provinces, but they are spending billions on Kashmir to destabilize the peace and tranquility there.
Pakistan has created atom bomb but failed to provide medical facilities to their poor people, failed to give two square meals to its people, failed to give education to its children. Atom Bomb what has it given in return. The atom bomb then which was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was toys as compared to today's atom bombs.
Some says in case of war they will ruin India. What can they ruin? He says the population of Pakistan is today 18 Crores. India has a population of more than a Billion people. Some day if war happens and atom bomb is used by both Pakistan and India, in that event let us suppose Pakistan creates four times the havoc killing four times the population that it has, say eighty crore people, still India remains with another twenty crore while Pakistan will end for ever. So it's just a cynicism, nothing else.
As a state since Pakistan has failed, its successive governments have failed, democracy has failed. There is no justice today to the general public. There is no education, there is no governance, no law and order, no public health facilities. When asked what's its solution now, he says now the situation has become so bad that their is no easy solution to it. As the government does not want any solution. Those who are the ruling masses, they also don't want the autonomy of the people under other provinces, they don't want their development. In such a situation, there is only one situation ,that is surgery. Pakistan is to be disintegrated into several nations wherein Punjabis would have their separate identity due to their own language, culture and tradition. Sindh, Baluch, Kashmir, Gujarat etc will have a separate nation. Then they will be honest to their soil. There will be no rule by the outsiders. The stability can return to this part of the subcontinent only then.
It's quite a long blog that I have written after a long time. I hope you will appreciate.
