📘 Muslims Against Partition by Shamsul Islam challenges the dominant narrative that Indian Muslims uniformly supported the creation of Pakistan. Drawing from rare sources, it documents the voices of Muslims who opposed the division of India in 1947.
@iqrarulhassan Ur ambitions in politics r commendable & only time will determine how far you go. However, it’s important to exercise restraint & maintain a thoughtful approach.Engaging impulsively or commenting on every issue can sometimes undermine credibility & lead to unintended perceptions.
@iamthedrifter@junaidsahmad@Countercurrents This article reflects a pattern seen in commentators like @najamsethi polished & tamed language, weak intellectual honesty. Instead of speaking truth to power, it accommodates it, offering justifications for actions that are morally, logically & legally indefensible.
@ansukhera@najam_ali That is one way to look at it, but what about over-state run businesses that overreach, swallow private enterprises, crush competition, and distort prices and jobs? General Najam Ali Sahab should speak on these larger and more serious issues.
@MubashirAZaidi The younger generation is being devastated by this relentless cycle of military interference in politics, corruption,unemployment,favouritism,constitutional violations, & state sponsored abductions. Meanwhile, the older generation has shown nothing but cowardice.
@Shehzad89 After watching several of your podcasts, I can say as a neutral observer that your comments, frequent giggling & Khan bashing even the topic something else, looks superficial. Please avoid giving lectures when you yourselves a regime apologetic.
20/20
The role of :
Allah baksh
Shibli Nomani (1857-1914)
Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (1890-1988)
Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind
Momin Conference
Majlis-e-Ahrar-e-Islam
for anti-two nation theory is commendable.

19/20 Muslims Against Partition shows that the failure of this Muslim opposition was not due to lack of conviction or clarity, but to systematic political exclusion, coercion, and violent suppression by both colonial and communal forces.
