  • Professor Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed is the Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Stockholm University, he has taught at LUMS and Government College, Lahore, as well. He is the author of "The Punjab Bloodied, Partitioned and Cleansed" and "Pakistan: The Garrison State", he is about to release his third book on Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
    Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed comes on The Pakistan Experience to discuss why he believes Pakistan was created as a buffer state between the Soviet Union and India by the British and the role of Quaid-e-Azam in the creation of Pakistan.
    Was Jinnah working with the British?
    Did the Radcliffe Award favour India or Pakistan?
    Who started the massacres in Punjab?
    Why did the Sikhs not join Pakistan?
    Find out on this week's episode of the Pakistan Experience. Probably the most important conversation on partition that you will ever hear.
    The Pakistan Experience is a podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation.

I am grateful to all who expressed their views and most views have been very supportive. The few who disagree or are angry are also needed so that we all exchange our views freely. I wish you and Pakistan Experience all the very best for now and for your future endeavours.

      India has relieve from united muslim fundamentalism fanaticism through division amongst them.
      India is globally today amongst top 5 gdp economy, 4th powerful military, and most stable leadership thus Pakistan has unmatched to the mighty Indians across the sectors.

It doesn't mean that you distort history just because your masters the British gave you English schools, printing press, cinemas, radio, factories, parliament, trained armies, railways, dams, bridges and much more. NO tribal of NWFP was interested in Kashmir, especially in 1948. NWFP voted for Congress and Bacha Khan had a strong following there. NWFP used Indian and Afghan currency until 1970's. It was Punjabi army-the stooges of the British in civilian clothes who attacked Kashmir. Nehru and Indian leaders had written off Kashmir and had informed the Maharaja that he can join Pakistan, The Proxy attack by Pakistan gave India good reason to stay there permanently. After the so called "tribal" attack , Sheikh Abdullah appealed to India for help as the "tribals" ( read army) were looting and raping ( as ordered by Jinnah) the Muslim women. They were not into liberating Kashmir. India insisted that it could not help as Kashmir had not acceded to India. The Sheikh then signed the papers of accession and India sent in its army. This is how British stooge Jinnah handed over Kashmir to India. The other stooge of British aka Punjabi army is 100% responsible for the destruction of Pakistan's economy and political institutions.

    Allama Mashriqi's grandson (Nasim Yousaf) wrote in his book published in 2007:
    "The main objective of dividing India was to keep any regional power from rising against the
    West. The intricacies of this are described as follows.
    First, the aim was to weaken the Muslims ... On the other hand, Pakistan was also created ...to prevent the rise of
    Hindus ...Through East and West wings of Pakistan, the world powers could pull India’s strings as and when desired.
    India was also divided to thwart the spread of communism. It was felt that India might
    go far left, and communism might spread into India, which would pose a significant threat to the
    West... Hence, the West wanted to prevent the influence of communism from spreading into the region..."

    Hindus and Muslims was very safe in a common sky, then why the separatist politics uprised exponentially during 40's ? That was definitely an external encouragement for the same.
    1. Majority Muslims was Safe in Hindu king rule (kashmir)
    2. Muslims and Hindus were safe in Sikh ruled Punjab.
    3. Hindus was safe in long Prosperous Mughal Empire.
    4. Later, Hindus and Muslims both were very happy and prosperous during reigns of Muslim Nababs of Bengal.
    5. Muslim, Christian, parsis, Jain's had no Issue in Mighty Maratha Empire, Even the founder of maratha Empire, sivaji had muslim cannonman (topchi). 'the most value war weapons during mediaeval period'.
    Indian Subcontinent can't be prosperous without unifying. And we oppose it.... This is our unfortunate.

    Dear Prof Ishtiaq Ahmed , I am hugely impressed by your scholarship - I am from Mumbai India . I belong to a family which migrated from Lahore during partition and have a natural affinity for eastern Punjab . There is a raging controversy about the reason why British left India in 1947 . Congressmen & left historians give the reason that it was Congress / Gandhi & Nehru - this is also the ‘official history’ of Independent India post independence as all these historians were leaning towards Nehru’s contribution and totally ignoring the contribution of Subhash Bose and his INA .
    Some recent revelations say the British were unnerved by January 1946 rebellion by British Navy and other such instances of expected rebellion and the Viceroy wanted 1 lac British troops in India to keep India under control . Also during Atlee’s visit to Calcutta in 1955/56 , when asked why British left India he said categorically INA and that Gandhi’s role in making Britain leave I dia was MINIMAL .
    As you are a great historian of that period I wud request your views on this matter please .

      Hi, look from what I understand is that Atlee a British Prime Minister will never accept that 'they lost'. I mean they always believed they were superior how could they say Gandhi/Nehru/Navy Revolts made them leave India.
      When the 2nd World War ended the masses were aware. They had just seen British fight Japan/Germany because they were being imperialistic (exactly what Britishers themselves were). The will of the people was strengthened by all of the above be it S.C Bose's Azad Hind Fauj + Navy Revolts + Red fort trials + Bengal Famine + Quit India Movement.
      Other factors such as the Balance of power changed in favour of USA and USSR. In fact Britain themselves had to take loans from USA to reconstruct their nation. And British soldiers were done with war. They were in no mood to stay away from their families and fight in India after seeing the destruction.
      Also, British rule was very much dependent on the civil servants in Indian who were themselves Indian. With the Navy Incident and Azad Hind Fauj they understood that they cannot trust the Indians anymore.
      It's all a combination is what I mean, but definitely not what Atlee said, you can't expect them to not save their faces you know.

    In awe of Prof. Ishtiaq Ahmed’s intellectual honesty, clarity of thought, eloquence and mastery of subject. His thorough research and evidence based conclusions in an attempt to analyse a bloody and bitter part of our mutual history is delivered with refreshing transparency. In the polarised world of today where propaganda rules the sound waves, Prof. Dr Ishtiaq’s enlightened voice is so very welcome. His research and voice should be amplified as much possible.

    I had never seen this gentle man or never heard him on this topic earlier. Being an ordinary Bhartiya one question always used to pop up in my mind that "why my home my motherland was divided, what all could be the possible reasons, who would benefit out of it, is it sustainable and how long sustainable"
    I analysed myself...it's not rocket science because in our day to day life we face such issues.
    I found some interesting reasons (there was nothing positive but all negatives)
    1) fear
    2) apprehension
    3) hatred
    4) prejudice
    5) to gain superiority by unfair practice
    My question to all audiences: do you think it's at all sustainable?
    (My answer would be 'No'
    Because it's nature which decides who, why and how to evolve NOT when as it will invariably happen since it's the principle of positivity NOT negativity followed by the nature)
    What's yours?

    @haroon420 Год назад +15

    My family lives near Gujjar Khan. When I was young (maybe 15/16) in late 1990s, I had a conversation with my uncle (aunts husband). He said he was maybe 12 at the time of partition. He said that the villages had Sikh people and when partition happened, they went out in organised groups to chase/kill the Sikhs. I felt sick knowing that we did that.
    Sadly, because I was younger, I didn’t ask much more about the time from my elders and now they’ve all passed away.
    He said it was in retaliation for the sikh/Hindu killing of Muslims who were travelling from India. But how would they know?? They didn’t have telephones back then. How could they communicate and get news to them.
    And why would they take revenge on innocent parties.
    Partition was a total human disaster and I don’t think Pakistan has made an honest effort of trying to understand the senseless violence.
    They did not try to gather oral histories from people. It’s such a shame.
    And I understand if they didn’t want to dig the past and try to apportion blame. But then if that’s the case, you try to heal the past and start fresh. Let bygones be bygones.
    You can’t use the past as an excuse for enmity and then not be honest in examining it.

    • @haroon420
      @haroon420 Год назад +3

      Another interesting anecdote I have is that we have some land near the India border (given to my grandfather by the army). One day some Sikhs were allowed to come onto the land and they dug around a tree and there were some valuables they dug out and took back with them to India. In a way, I’m happy that they had a chance to be reunited with their valuables but I would’ve been much much much more happier if they were allowed to come back and take ownership of their ancestral land.

      There were no telephones but there were oral narratives and rumors. Rumors are more dangerous when there are less source of communication. And then there were immigrants coming from India. I have heard that when they reached Pakistan with the horrible stories and dedbodies, they challenged the "ghairat" of Pakistani Muslims and some places gifted them bangles. This provoked the violent behaviour. Then there were criminals on both sides who took advantage of the situation. Violence at that times were on both side of border, anytime trying to be victim is dishonest
