On 3 June 1947, while accepting the Mountbatten plan in the Congress Working Committee, the plan of Partition of India was described as a temporary solution and it was hoped that when the storm of hatred subsided, India's problems would be seen from the right perspective and then the two-nation This false theory will be rejected by everyone. After Jinnah left for Karachi, Sardar Patel had said- 'Muslims have their roots, their religious places and centers in India, I don't know what they will do in Pakistan. Very soon they will come back to us.' After the formation of Pakistan, Maharishi Arvind had said that India will be united again, this partition is unnatural, it cannot last.
Gandhiji had said- 'The separation of Pakistan from India is exactly the same as a member of the household has left home and gone to his own house. We need to win the hearts of Pakistanis and not isolate them from the original family.'
All the Hindutva powers, which have considered Hindus and Muslims as two separate nations, are also dreaming of rebuilding Akhand Bharat since the formation of Pakistan, but due to the toxic atmosphere that has prevailed between India and Pakistan for the last 72 years. It does not seem that the idea of reconstruction of Akhand Bharat will ever prove to be true or that any relation like friendship between India and Pakistan will ever develop.
The reasons for India-Pakistan relations not being normal still exist today as they existed at the time of their separation. The hatred and mistrust towards each other continues to this day. This permanent hatred between the people of India and Pakistan has been shown by Pakistani politicians 'Non-expirable and repeatedly encashable cheque' redeem like. Hussain Haqqani, who was Pakistan's ambassador to the US on the subject of why there cannot be friendship between India and Pakistan, has written- 'Any conversation about the shared heritage of India and Pakistan should be directly addressed to Pakistan. It was considered an attack on the foundation, a conspiracy to destroy Pakistan's identity as a separate nation.'
What a strange irony that if on either side, an attempt is made to understand or describe India and Pakistan as one, there is opposition from both the sides and even if an attempt is made to tell them apart, both There is opposition from the side. Jawaharlal Nehru's point of view in this matter seems more clear. In a speech given at Aligarh Muslim University in January 1948, Jawaharlal Nehru tried to convince Pakistan that- 'India does not raise questions about Pakistan being a separate country. If by any means today I am given an opportunity to reunite India and Pakistan, I will immediately reject it, the reason is very clear. I don't want to bear the burden of troubled Pakistan. I have many problems in my country. Any close cooperation must arise in a normal and friendly manner in which Pakistan is not abolished as a state, but can be made equal partners in a larger federation to which many other countries can also join.
Haqqani has blamed Nehru and Patel for not developing friendship between India and Pakistan. Did not even show, no opportunity was left to blame Pakistan for the fragmentation of this subcontinent at the behest of the British. Patel openly expressed doubts over the possibility of Pakistan surviving as a separate nation and insisted that sooner or later we would be united again by showing submission to our nation. Clearly this sign was for Akhand Bharat.'
Patel had reminded Indians before his death in December 1950- 'Don't forget that the vital organs of your Mother India have been cut off. None of these assurances helped pacify the upper class of Pakistan. Pakistani leaders continued to believe that India's ultimate strategic goal was to reunify Pakistan.
Haqqani has also blamed the leaders who came to Pakistan from India for this- 'Many leaders who took the command of the new country had migrated from India and were not residents of the area which has now become Pakistan. was. For this reason, he presented the idea of Pakistan in a more strong way so that his relationship with it could easily connect. He laid special emphasis on the never-ending conflict between Hindus and Muslims and the two-nation theory. For example, Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan, who was the Nawab of a small princely state of Haryana, repeatedly reiterated that Pakistan could be the only country where Islamic practices could be implemented and Muslims lived according to their ability. could. Exactly similar views were expressed by all the other ministers who came from India. The same was said by Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, the head of the administrative service who had come from Jalandhar. Describing Pakistan as the bastion of Islam and separating 'Hindu-India' from 'Muslim-Pakistan' was an easy way to avoid the question that after all those who were born in places like UP, Delhi, Bombay and Calcutta and there almost completely After all, why were you running away to a country where there were no such places.'
Ghulam Murtaza Sayeed, a well-known personality of Sindh, had criticized the large number of foreigners who had come to his province, these strangers who fled after partition were Punjabi and Urdu speaking Mohajirs, they did not speak Sindhi. used to come. Pashtun leader Abdul Ghaffar Khan had criticized these leaders for keeping their lives entangled in riots, attacks and jihad to keep the common Pakistani people under occupation.
Hussein Haqqani, while describing the reality of India-Pakistan relations, has written- 'When the two countries do not directly make any wrongdoing against each other, then both the nuclear-armed countries fight each other with cold war. engaged in. For the past several years, the leaders of the two countries have been meeting on occasion, usually on the sidelines of an international meeting, and in which it is announced the resumption of talks at the official level. In a few days there is a terrorist attack in India whose strings are linked to jihadi groups present in Pakistan, it destroys this atmosphere of mutual dialogue, or allegations of violation of ceasefire along the Line of Control with Jammu and Kashmir It seems.'
