Touching on Taboo | Partition a Blunder
By Tanzeel • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Politics • 25 CommentsLahore: MQM chief Altaf Hussain has said the Partition of India in 1947 weakened Muslims, as it divided their power. In an interview with Najam Sethi on Duniya News, Altaf said there would have been no Partition had the Congress accepted Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s 14 points. Altaf said few people knew that even Allama Iqbal had not demanded a separate Pakistan in his famous Allahabad address in 1930. “He had, in fact, demanded the creation of Muslim states in the Muslim-majority areas,” he said, adding that Iqbal’s son justice (retired) Javed Iqbal could confirm this. [Duniya News]
If we view partition from the perspective of Muslim unity it was indeed one of the biggest blunders in the history of mankind since it divided Muslims however it benefited tiny percentage of Muslims who were already settled in the land of pure, who never had to migrate at all. For rests it’s no better than India where everybody has to struggle hard for his basic rights.
Was partition blunder or not it still a debatable topic but I would like to explain whether Altaf Hussain who in his recent interview justified his disputed statement in which he called partition of the subcontinent a blunder. Lots of hue and cry being heard mainly from our not so conversant population of Pakistan, anti MQM factors across the country are also spicing up the issue and trying to capitalize their politics.
In my opinion no one can give expert opinion on Partition than the ones who have witnessed pre-partition situation and experienced the bloodshed during migration however I would like to clarify under which circumstances MQM leader has called partition a blunder.
In Today’s Pakistan Muslims are fighting and killing each other on the basis of tribal and linguistic affinity, sectarian strife is worse than ever before. Mosques and Madarssas are flourishing businesses. The advocates of Jihad are killing followers of the faith as they leave places of worship, we are the only country who can always legally kill other Muslim who has different beliefs than our version of Islam. A truism reiterated in the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. For further evidences let’s look at the plight of 300,000 Stranded Pakistanis in Bangladesh for four decades in their passage to the chosen land — Unwanted by both Bangladesh and Pakistan, led by an unknown destiny. Who suffered? MUSLIMS
So where Muslim of sub-continent stands today — What Pakistani Muslims have achieved? Pakistani Muslim is competing with Indian or Bangladeshi Muslim in poverty, illiteracy, and religious hatred. In fact Pakistan is step a head in terms of sectarian enmity. Moreover, the rights of the people who migrated to Pakistan from Muslim Minority Provinces of the Subcontinent were usurped and they had to face highhandedness and injustices in Pakistan. Even today they are directly or indirectly branded as “Indians” when they raise voices for their rights. Talk about the Muslims of Balochistan, they are spending miserable life since the very creation of Pakistan but no Govt paid head on their basic problems. Again “MUSLIMS”
In the light of above facts if some leader merely “criticizes” partition and comment on disintegration of Muslims he’s called traitor and advised by our so called patriots that Altaf Hussain should immediately leave Pakistan. Interestingly these advices come from the ones who and their forefather never experienced migration. Their idiotic reason for being patriotic is since their ancestors living in Pakistan since ages that’s why they are “Pure Pakistanis”
Right after questioning partition on the basis of provided facts Altaf Hussain said: “since it happened we now need to live peacefully with each other” but no one noticed that part.
IMO A leader must not misguide his people for whatsoever reason. Altaf’s statement in anyway doesn’t go against interest of Pakistan and Pakistanis, rather it’s a matter of concern for the “establishment” to realize their mistake and give due rights to rest of the Pakistanis so that they don’t have to question creation of Pakistan again.
The spirit and essence of Altaf Hussain statement is that we must accept the ground reality without blinkers.
In the end I would suggest those Pakistanis who are calling Altaf Hussain traitor or Indian to use their common sense, stop being patriotic to an abnormal extent and try to digest the fact that partition of subcontinent is a debatable issue. Pakistan is our very own country hence its our right to criticize or praise it. No one has the right to curb our freedom of speech.
“Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.” — Winston Churchill

Dear Tanzeel
a few questions
>>>>>>>>>>>>>If we view partition from the perspective of Muslim unity it was indeed one of the biggest blunders in the history of mankind since it divided Muslims
yeah right !
please think and analyze that pakistan was created ONLY BECAUSE THE MUSLIMS OF INDIA WERE UNITED AND DETERMINED TO GET INDEPENDENCE, Jinnah united muslims how are do you claim they were divided? how do you call it a blunder?
(Answer This)
Muslims of india more united than ever,but we failed to capitalize on it! misguided by people like altaf hussain, who despite being born in pakistan are bent upon calling themselves muhajir and divide the muslims on ethinic lines, some divided on ethinic lines, some on religious lines and some on linguistic lines (like the movement to divide punjab on seariki speaking belt)
its not written on ones forehead that he is a muhajir,
The indian muslims are more than pakistan’s entire population combined, if the partition had not taken place Mulsims still would have been a minority in india
What advantage would the muslims had being a minority of 15-20 % in a population of 1.2 Billion of India?
(Answer This)
>>>>>>>>>Altaf said there would have been no Partition had the Congress accepted Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s 14 points.
did congress accept Jinnah’s 14 points?
No ! then how was the partition a blunder?
if Congress had accepted Jinnah’s demand then you could have questioned Jinnah’s motive for partition
Since Jinnah’s demand was not accpeted , which showed the unwillingness of Congress to recognize the Muslim’s rights, then how was the partition a blunder?
(Answer This)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Altaf said few people knew that even Allama Iqbal had not demanded a separate Pakistan in his famous Allahabad address in 1930. “He had, in fact, demanded the creation of Muslim states in the Muslim-majority areas,” he said,
where did altaf hussain heard this ? on star plus?
if Javed iqbal is the source then why did he not make IT public uptill now?
(Answer This)
para from Iqbal’s speech in 1930:”I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single state. Self-government within the British Empire, or
without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated Northwest Indian Muslim state appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of Northwest India.” ( source wikipedia)
this clearly says amalgamated into a single state. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated Northwest Indian Muslim state
Self-government=independence
Where has Allama Iqbal said he wanted “muslim majority states under the rule of Congress”? as claimed by Altaf Hussain?
(Answer This)
>>>>>>>>>In Today’s Pakistan Muslims are fighting and killing each other on the basis of tribal and linguistic affinity, sectarian strife is worse than ever before.
this and all the other problems you have mentioned
Jinnah wanted a state where all religions would co-exist peacefully
Did Jinnah plan any of this ?
Is he responsible for this this mess?
No! we are ourselves responsible it
Then why blame Jinnah for it? or his motives for for our actions?
(Answer This)
>>>>>>>Pakistan is our very own country hence its our right to criticize or praise it.
DO criticize or praise But if you are questioning your country’s creation , it shows that you
disagree with its idealogy, so if Altaf Hussain really thinks the partition was a mistake then he can start rectifying the mistake and migrate back to india , nothing wrong with it, its like if i am in MQM and i dissagree with Altaf Hussain, the logical step would be that i resign from the party and go where i am satisfied, nothing wrong with it, Altaf hussain and I or anyone is not a slave
and one thing more Altaf hussain was born in Pakistan, how can he calim ro be a Muhajir and represent them?
(Answer This)
You MQMers are all alike, you people make up stories and then expect people to belive you, when someone questions your reasons, you start calling them irrational.
If there is sun out side and and Altaf Hussain says its night, you MQMer will blindly say its night ,when someone asks how is it night with the sun out side? either you people start abusing them or the only reason you people have is
“Altaf bahi ne kahna raat hai , tou raat hai”
Altaf Hussain’s saying may be enough for you, but not for everyone
Best Regards
Tanzeel, my compliments on writing this corageous essay…..it certainly takes a lot of guts to write something like that…..i stand in agreement with you
Q= Muslims of india more united than ever,but we failed to capitalize on it! misguided by people like altaf hussain, who despite being born in pakistan are bent upon calling themselves muhajir and divide the muslims on ethinic lines, some divided on ethinic lines, some on religious lines and some on linguistic lines (like the movement to divide punjab on seariki speaking belt)
A= So unity of Muslim is basically controlled by Altaf Hussain ? Do you not find any fault within ourselves and the basis on which partition was made ?
Q= its not written on ones forehead that he is a muhajir,
Not forehead but “Language tells all”
Q= The indian muslims are more than pakistan’s entire population combined, if the partition had not taken place Mulsims still would have been a minority in india
What about Muslim majority provinces, Muslims would have been in huge number there.
Q= What advantage would the muslims had being a minority of 15-20 % in a population of 1.2 Billion of India?
(Answer This)
If Pakistan Bangladesh were with india it would have surely united Muslims. At least Muslims wont have been fighting amongst themselves.
Q= Altaf said there would have been no Partition had the Congress accepted Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s 14 points. did congress accept Jinnah’s 14 points?
No ! then how was the partition a blunder?
A= Partition was a second option if you notice and second option has always some flaws. So had Partition which we see in today’s Pakistan.
Q= if Congress had accepted Jinnah’s demand then you could have questioned Jinnah’s motive for partition, Since Jinnah’s demand was not accpeted , which showed the unwillingness of Congress to recognize the Muslim’s rights, then how was the partition a blunder?
A= I told you Partition was a second choice with less benefits compared to earlier demands of Jinnah he used in first place.
Q= Altaf said few people knew that even Allama Iqbal had not demanded a separate Pakistan in his famous Allahabad address in 1930. “He had, in fact, demanded the creation of Muslim states in the Muslim-majority areas,” he said,
where did altaf hussain heard this ? on star plus? if Javed iqbal is the source then why did he not make IT public uptill now?
(Answer This)
A= he did public it, let me show you. http://i42.tinypic.com/2dily7m.gif
See how he has endorsed Altaf statement where he accepted that Iqbal spoke so earlier in his earlier speeches.
Q= Where has Allama Iqbal said he wanted “muslim majority states under the rule of Congress”? as claimed by Altaf Hussain?
(Answer This)
Altaf never quoted Iqbal saying “muslim majority states under the rule of Congress”? — Show me where did Altaf associated this statement with Iqbal.
Q= In Today’s Pakistan Muslims are fighting and killing each other on the basis of tribal and linguistic affinity, sectarian strife is worse than ever before. this and all the other problems you have mentioned -Jinnah wanted a state where all religions would co-exist peacefully
Did Jinnah plan any of this ?
Is he responsible for this this mess?
No! we are ourselves responsible it
Then why blame Jinnah for it? or his motives for for our actions?
(Answer This)
A= First of all no one is blaming Jinnah, after experiencing post Pakistan situation he said “partition was a blunder”. You ask did Jinnah plan this. Of course no, just the way Gandhi had not planned any thing against Muslims. But if Jinnah was pro active he should have thought about future of Pakistan also, he left tribals as they were. Now see what’s happening there. Setting them free means invitation to drugs, terrorism, weapons everything should be allowed. it also means Jinnah was not aware of experiences Muhajirs would face when come to Pakistan. Jinnah also had no idea of controlling East Pakistan. Neither his cabinet had any plans for that. Merely demanding partition is not a solution until you have long term plans to run the country effectively.
Q= DO criticize or praise But if you are questioning your country’s creation , it shows that you
disagree with its idealogy, so if Altaf Hussain really thinks the partition was a mistake then he can start rectifying the mistake and migrate back to india , nothing wrong with it, its like if i am in MQM and i disagree with Altaf Hussain, the logical step would be that i resign from the party and go where i am satisfied, nothing wrong with it, Altaf hussain and I or anyone is not a slave
A= Are Indian Muslims slave? Altaf has created a political party to fix the issue, I reitrate he later said now we are different nations we need to live peacefully. He is rectifying mistakes and highlighting the issues as well. How else he can rectify mistakes?
Q= and one thing more Altaf hussain was born in Pakistan, how can he claim ro be a Muhajir and represent them?
(Answer This)
A= You were born illetrate how do you claim to be literate? He belongs to a Muhajir family; he has seen worst things happened to Muhajirs in Pakiatsn. Moreover he didn’t create brand name Muhajirs but rests. He just owned it and turned weakness into strength. He fought for the cause of Muhajirs and their sons.
Q= You MQMers are all alike, you people make up stories and then expect people to belive you, when someone questions your reasons, you start calling them irrational.
Very generalized response — I think I never blamed you or called you irrational, did I ?
Q= If there is sun out side and and Altaf Hussain says its night, you MQMer will blindly say its night ,when someone asks how is it night with the sun out side? either you people start abusing them or the only reason you people have is“Altaf bahi ne kahna raat hai , tou raat hai”
A= Let me prove you wrong, I disagree with Altaf statement that partition was blunder : ).
Q= Altaf Hussain’s saying may be enough for you, but not for everyone
Indeed, what I want is you respond him logically and with civility rather than thrashing him and calling him Ghaddaar.

Jeeay Quaid-e-Tehrik Altaf Hussain Bhai!
Hi Tanzeel,
I think you may be correct historically but Indians are now morre happy that it happenned.
1.Islam doesnot ALLOW DEMOCRACY
2.ISLAM DOESNOT ALLOW SECULARISM as it thinks it is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL TRUTH.
The above two would have given continous fissure as you are having with benglaies before and now with Baloachs,mohajirs,Sindhies ,pathans etc.Even a venerable pathan like Imran Khan is espousing the cause of pathans but not of Pakistan.
We Indians are better off for the partition.
Same with Cyprus. The turkish part broke and joined with turkey. Now they want to go back to secular greek part who donot want them.
Johann though we don’t want to go back to India since we still believe Pakistan is not bad however we believe things could have been different rather better had partition not taken place.Better than today’s Pakistan/ Subcontinent Muslims (minus IMs).
Dear Tanzeel bhaiya
>>>>>>So unity of Muslim is basically controlled by Altaf Hussain ?
illiterate people fall prey to people like him and prefer to be recognized on the paltform of their leader
>>>>>>>>>Do you not find any fault within ourselves and the basis on which partition was made ?
i have said in comment # 1 that
“No! we are ourselves responsible it Then why blame Jinnah for it? or his motives for for our actions?”
>>>>>>Not forehead but “Language tells all”
dear tanzeel , i have friends who have migrated from India, i find no difference in their language,
and if you have met people of pak origin born in UK , you will find their langauge as same the natural Britishers
>>>>>What about Muslim majority provinces, Muslims would
have been in huge number there you have the example of kashmir ……….and we all know about
what has been happening there
>>>>>>>>>At least Muslims wont have been fighting amongst themselves.
please see comment number 1 it says “misguided by people like altaf hussain, who despite being born in pakistan are bent upon calling themselves muhajir and divide the muslims on ethinic lines,
some divided on ethinic lines, some on religious lines ”
why is being killed by hindus better than being killed by muslims?
why blame Jinnah for our mistakes?
>>>>>>>>>>>Partition was a second option if you notice and
second option has always some flaws. So had Partition which we see in today’s Pakistan.
patition was the second choice as it was a tough choice ,
it would have ment mass migration, not because it was flawed,
Dear Tanzeel
>>>>>>>>>Q= Where has Allama Iqbal said he wanted “muslim majority states under the rule of Congress”? as claimed by Altaf Hussain?
(Answer This)
Altaf never quoted Iqbal saying “muslim majority states under the rule of Congress”? — Show me where did Altaf associated this statement with Iqbal.
Please refer to the top of the page at the begining of your post it says “Altaf said few people knew that even Allama Iqbal had not demanded a separate Pakistan in his famous Allahabad address in
1930. “He had, in fact, demanded the creation of Muslim states in the Muslim-majority areas,” ”
so after The British, Congress would be the largest party so naturally India would have been under the rule of Congress (like it is now)
>>>>>>>>……no one is blaming Jinnah, …………………. “partition was a blunder”…………………. But if Jinnah was pro active he should have thought about future of Pakistan also, he left tribals as they
were. ……………….. Jinnah also had no idea of controlling East Pakistan. Neither his cabinet had any plans for that. Merely demanding partition is not a solution until you have long term plans to run the country effectively.
when you call “partition was a blunder”, Jinnah was at the forefront of the movement, it means he was the founder and HE made the blunder
No rocket science in controlling east Pak, just give them their basic rights, thats what Jinnah had in mind……providing muslims of india their basic rights, what we or our leaders did, or if we did not carry
on his vision its not Jinnah’s fault
not unless you expected Jinnah to live forever……
>>>>>>>>>>> He fought for the cause of Muhajirs and their sons.
Tanzeel, my great-great-great-great-gerat-grandfather was a Hindu who converted to islam
nobody knows this as i have told anyone,
Do the muhajirs have to mention that they are muhajirs?
>>>>>>>>>I disagree with Altaf statement that partition was blunder
please refer to your post it says”f we view partition from the perspective of Muslim unity it was
indeed one of the biggest blunders in the history of mankind”
” I would like to explain whether Altaf Hussain who in his recent interview justified his disputed statement in which he called partition of the subcontinent a blunder.”
explain, justify ?
” I would like to clarify under which circumstances MQM leader has called partition a blunder.”
if you are clarifying him , then how come you disagree with him?
Best Regards
PS.
>>>>what I want is you respond him logically and with civility
did i miss the two of these?
Dear Tanzeel,
we can go on forever…..its simple, Jinnah wanted a place where muslims could live happly and with full rights
i fail to understand how do you say they would have been better off in united india?
altaf hussain may have seen the blood shed during the partition (even though he was born after it)
it would have been interesting to see his reaction to the Gujrat killings in a United india
Last not least if we failed to full fill Jinnah’s vision for pakistan, its not his fault or a blunder in general terms.
its like you make a house for you children and after your death, one of your child confines the rest of the family in one rooms and takes over the rest of the house……..it would be unfair to you if your children said that you made a blunder, had you left them out in the open, they (your children) would have been living in an orphanage and that life is better than living in a single room of a house.
hope you get the point,
Best Regards
Q= ” I would like to clarify under which circumstances MQM leader has called partition a blunder.”
if you are clarifying him , then how come you disagree with him?
———————————————————————————————————————————————
LOL does clarifying mean getting agreement with him ?
@Ali Sajjad
Allama Iqbal in his Khutba e Allahbad 1930 is ready for a Muslim State under British Empire.
Kindly read the Khutba..
in 1940 Lahore resolution, 2 Muslim Nations was proposed not only Pakistan.
thirdly all the Pakistan movement was run in Muslim Minority provinces like UP, CP Bihar Bangal and not in Sindh Serhad Balochistan and Punjab so the people who gave everything for Pakistan Struggle got nothing they are still living in India while the people didn’t gave anything nor struggle for separate Muslim State becomes the so called Patriotic Pakistanis.
Can anyone tell us how much blood and sacrifice is given by Sindh Serhad Punjab Balochistan for pakistan?
Dear Tanzeel
>>>>>>>>does clarifying mean getting agreement with him ?
well………it seems so
if its not the case then apology
Dear Ali @ 11
>>>>>>>>>Allama Iqbal in his Khutba e Allahbad 1930 is ready for a Muslim State under British Empire
i never denied this , read comment # 1 to confirm this
>>>>>>>>>while the people didn’t gave anything nor struggle for separate Muslim State becomes the so called Patriotic Pakistanis.
true we got a “paki pakai daig”(ready mate meal) we did not had to earn it thats why we dont respect it(read Pakistan)
Best Regards
“”"…we are the only country who can always legally kill other Muslim who has different beliefs than our version of Islam.”"”
Interesting, are you sure about the term, legally there? Can you give me some examples? thanks.
@15= Blasphemy laws
@15- Commonly known as the blasphemy law, section 295C of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860 stipulates that any person who ‘by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly’ defiles the name of the Islamic Prophet, Mohammad, is liable for blasphemy. In additional to a fine, he shall be punished with the death sentence or imprisonment for life. : |
@ 16
Pakistan Penal Code 1860 ??????
Hey i though Pakistan was made in 1947 !
then how come we are having laws from the British era?
how come no one blames the British for the law they coined?
why are you people blaming Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal, if we pakis are so useless that we cant even make our own Laws, according to our own will?
now what was that about pak being a blunder?….?
puri duniya main apni mistakes k liye tum logon ko Muhammad Ali Jinnah aur Allama Iqbal, hi milay thay scapegoats bana ne k liye?
if you people inherited a county you cant govern, then its you who are commiting a blunder , by remaining in a slumber, stupid!
why blame your sucessors?
i guess this pre-historic laws sums up the story of pakistan and this post
Tanzeel:
These fellows Sajjad and Arias are die-hard Jamat Islami supporters. You have very honestly answered Mr. Sajjad’s all queries, but look he is still adamant in his hatred for our great Quaid Altaf Hussain Bhai. These fellows don’t have the ability to understand the words of wisdom of Quaid-e-Tehrik, because they are heavily brainwashed by anti-MQM propaganda.
JEEAY Quaid-e-Tehrik Altaf Hussain Bhai!
JEEAY Muttahida!
