Jinnah - The father of terrorism

 The British ruled over India for 190 years and at the time of leaving India volunteered to divide India into two countries India and Pakistan. Back then Pakistan was divided peculiarly. A big part of Pakistan was in the western side of India called West Pakistan and another part on eastern side of India -East Pakistan. East Pakistan was essentially the state of Bengal that was divided on the basis of religion. In fact the entire division of India and Pakistan was given a pretext of religion. In 1971 the Eastern Part of Pakistan - East Pakistan ,after a bloody war, became free as a new nation called Bangladesh with military assistance from India. 

The partition of India was totally unnecessary. It was caused due to the selfish wish of a man to become the supreme leader of a nation and the man was Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Mohammad Ali Jinnah was a British pawn who simply did what his masters told him to. The Royal Indian Naval Mutiny which spread across other parts of the armed forces convinced the British that their days in India were numbered,  you cannot rule a country whose armed forces are against you.



 The non violent movement that was lead by Mahatma Gandhi and others for decades created a feeling of patriotism among Indians . Also the violent movement of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev and many others followed by the Indian National Army formed by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose fired up the countrymen to get freedom from the clutches of British. This two different movements had actually triggered the Naval Mutiny and British decided to hand back power to the people of the nation. 


However the cunning Jinnah demanded a separate state for Muslims, as he thought that he would be able to become president of the nation in such a situation. The British obliged instead of simply packing and leaving they started doing meetings with various leaders of Congress and Muslim League. To achieve his objective Jinnah poisoned the ears of Muslims( most of whom were illiterate and uneducated) and announced 16th August 1946 as Direct Action Day. Riots followed his announcement and thousands of people were killed . It was started by Muslim mobs followed by retaliatory attack by Hindu mobs. Thousands of people died in the riots . 


The country was finally divided into India and Pakistan. However there was tremendous displacement of people across the border and at the same time there were riots that lead to loss of lives of around 500000 people or more and millions of rapes. People who migrated across the border lost all their money and property. This was just the beginning of the carnage. The so called nation of Pakistan never succeeded in becoming democratic nation. Within a year of Independence  Jinnah died  Pakistan became a military state where the army is autonomous and takes its own decisions. 


Immediately after the partition an army of tribals was sent to annex J&K , the maharaja of J&K was in two minds whether to stay independent or go with India he finally decided to join India . The Indian forces then entered Kashmir and threw away the Paki forces but a part of Kashmir remained in Pakistan. This was not the first war between India and Pakistan it was followed by wars of 1965 and 1971 Pakistan lost both the wars. Pakistan was better equipped than India in 1965 in spite of that Pakistan lost the war. In 1971 Indo- Pak war was over within 16 days it was a humiliating defeat for Pakistan in East Pakistan around 98,000 Pakistani army personnel were captured by Indian forces. A new nation of Bangladesh was created. However in these wars lives of thousands of soldiers were lost by each nation. When the Bangladeshis were demanding a separate nation, 3 million people in that country were butchered by the Pakistani forces irrespective of their religion and 200000 women were raped. 


Since direct confrontation with India was not working Pakistan took refuge in religious terrorism. It took services of some people who misinterpreted religion to spread violence. In this way they were able to spread militancy across Jammu and Kashmir. Thousands till date have been killed in this bloody militancy and this act has lead to growth of global islamic terror. Pakistan was the nation that gave a safe haven to dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden. The man who is responsible for 9/11 attacks in New York World Trade Centre. 


The evil ideology spread across the world and has had destroyed the nation of Afghanistan and today we have dangerous terrorist group called ISIS that dreams to islamise the world through terror. The nation of Pakistan itself has become a great victim of terror , the poison that they created to destroy India is destroying them. 


The creation of Pakistan is no doubt the birth of terrorism unknowingly aided by the then British government and fathered by Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Jinnah ended up being the father of modern day terrorism.
