PARTITION REVISITED :: Jaswant Singh has credited Jinnah with creating Pakistan

[TheCutebarbieslover]

India get ready Muslims were soon revert back and join Pakistani land , so gave them there rites other wise ...........................!

[Mak1pk]

I am from Pakistan, I think the book, the author, the views... and everything speaks of the intellect, perception and awarness which is rising in india; These are signs of a nation which is coming out of fundamentalism to intellectualism.

[jalabi99]

If you are born in India, you are an Indian, and it doesn't matter whether you are Sikh, Hindu, Jain, Muslim, Christian, or atheist. This is the simple truth that Jaswant Singh is telling. Will people who want to keep the Indo-Pak rivalry alive listen?

[nights1900]

The Indians know about the greatness of Jinnah.

[nasirdinsoomro1986]

Hats off to Jaswant Sigh!!

[nasirdinsoomro1986]

Heads off to Jaswant Singh for being a neutral in observing facts!

He is someone who bury the differences between Indo-Pak.

Nasir Soomro

[errolmiranda]

I am an Indian ..... and I agree with Jaswant to an extent... he makes sense.... Muslims in India are definitely Indian.. But everytime Pakistan points fingers to India about the treatmetn of our Indian muslims,,, I must ask them... Today Muslims are given chances and if they hve the drive they do extremely well in India.

But how about Pakistan.. Why is the Hindu , Sikh population just going extinct ?

If you talk about ill treatment it is only because we stil have a growing population .

[errolmiranda]

@errolmiranda - And yes there are riots at times, problems at times. but knowing that the religions are poles apart, there are bound to be some conflicts. yet there is no ethnic cleansing on such a scale which has taken place systematically in Pakistan from time to time. Hindus are almost extinct, Sikhs are crying to seek refuge in India , Christians are blamed for blasphemy. I mean why is your religion so intolerant?

[errolmiranda]

yoou guys feel that islam teaches to you to influence people to turn muslim , and not by force which is respectable. But if a christian even sermonises in your country , you start wiping them out.... look at gojra and that other place i think called shantinagar. constant killing of the christians.

Hindus are almost non existent. Sikhs wanting refuge in india.

If you point fingers at us then we can point some more at you. Its simple. What happeend is over. Love your people now and we luv ours

[xalmanify]

Muslims in india are indians by choice coz they they chose to stay there...they are more patriotic...

[keaesha19]

Listen to following to find real character of Nehru

/watch?v=3b6Fs_lm_1U

[xgotfiveonitx]

"look into the eyes of the muslims that live in india and if you truley see through the pain that they live through, to which land do they belong? we treat them as aliens, because somewhere, inside, we continue to ask 'even after pakistan you still want something?'. these are citizens of india now. EVERY MUSLIM THAT LIVES IN INDIA IS A LOYAL INDIAN AND WE MUST TREAT THEM AS SO!" bravo jaswant!

[rathore1267]

how can a man plan or write 700 pages book over a fort night that too just for a rivalling party to look bad. JASWANT IS A TRUE HUMAN BEING OF TODAYS TIMES.  India survived before Patel n Nehru and will always SURVIVE afterwards.

[rathore1267]

thanks Mr.Jaswant Singh for historical facts, bjp is really disgusting and its NO called president mr.RAJNAATH SINGH who  along with mr.advani are shame for this nation.

[ua1001]

I have not read his book, but Jaswant Singh's reasons for doing this is not because he "likes" Jinnah, but he is just doing it, because he wants to make the the rivaling indian political party look bad, since BJP does not like Gandhi.....but that went wrong and he ended up being expelled by his own party. It's all political; don't be fooled by it.

[karachiwalla]

Jaswant Singh is the man - did rest of you Indian fags learn any thing about the truth?!?

[zkhannn]

Jaswant singh himself said, Mohammad ali jinnah was not responsible of partition of india, Jawahir lal nehru was responsible,

[noorkhanuk85]

I'm Pakistani and i have so much respect for Jaswant Singh. All indians can learn something from him. Despite being BJP, he is not like the rest of the Pakistan-hating BJP. He is a good man. All indians must follow his example (and SRK example too).

[fuckyou170]

look now, Indians themselves agree that Pakistanis are great..

but they are extremely jealous, hypocrite kafirs!

FUCK INDIA

the Land of Motherfuckers & Snackcharmers!

GAY HIND!

Jeeay Jaswant Singh who is Indian but not a hypocrite!

[roxor1080]

I am a Pakistani, but I can respect an Indian as Gandhi without confronting it to my patriotism ; it is the same case for Jaswant Singh ...

[dangergodboy]

jinnah the best leader in sub continent!!!

[aditya26]

No Jaswant Singh has done good for India and I appeciate what he says. A fact is a fact. I love my India but if this is the truth - so be it. i do think he over did it because Muslims in India are in a pretty decent situation. Pakistan has screwed up a lot of other things but you have to respect Jinnah. However, it sucks that Pak had to be created. Since the creation of Pak though, they have really destroyed Jinnah's vision of the future of Pak.

[PakPORKistan]

BTW all the pakis are who are feeling to good about this...u must retrospect.... what he is saying makes ur so called great leader "jinnah" a good for nothing loser

[PakPORKistan]

Jaswant is a paki!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He blew the kandhar situation coz he was involved with pakistan.................whole world know what an evil mind jinnah was...........jaswant should be expelled from India........i guess he will love to live with taliban and al-qaida in Pakistan!!!!!!!

[mah888mood]

Salute to jaswant Singh we all Pakistani love u

[janjee1000]

he is a great man....a realy great man

[RaoulAlimahomed]

Very objective talking of Mr. Jaswant Singh..... I think that if Pakistan didnt existed,if it was still a part of India, then India would be really a disaster country.

So Jinnah did right....

[maxin16able]

salute to jaswant singh

[mtmraj]

Jaswant singh most of the time these days is under intoxication.He was a suspected ISI agent since the days of the Kandhahar hijack.He should immigrate to Pak.

[Gareebadmi]

Great man

[infored48]

Pakistan Zindabad...Muhammad Ali Jinnah Zindabad Juswant Singh Zindabad...............Such Hamesha Karwa Hota Hai or BJP ke learders ko Such Hazam nahi horaha hai...Juswant singh u r great ke ap ne such likha....

[zo0mmax]

well mujhe yaqeen nahi aa raha k kohi indian b sachai ki bat kar sakta hai aur pakistan k barray main kuch acha bool sakta hai

Jaswant Singh great work

[truthsucider]

my friend dont abus ...then they wil abus too,,so what the difference

[truthsucider]

yarr i want to read this book ,,how can it possible ?

[faizanhaqquee1]

let's not forget that president musharaf went over and took on the indian media and political elite in what was truly a courageous example to set for all in the sub-continent. india has a great number of great people living in it. there are many there who can set aside their biases, if they have any, and come out with their true opinions, as mr. jaswant singh has. the man's spent five years on this.

[faizanhaqquee1]

let's not discredit him. also all the pakistanis here should chill out. jaswant singh didn't say i like pakistan more than india or anything. he's talking specifically about jinnah being a great man, which is fine. many of us believe that gandhi was a great man, even if we never thought the same of nehru

[mjben0407]

It is funny that so many forks say they r lucky to be Pakistanis. If singh was in Pakistan and have said something like this against muslim extremistss interest, he would have been killed by crazy mullas or jihadis..

And by the way Jaswant Singh is not a Hindu.. He s a Sikh.

[jatt440]

actually there are many sikhs living in Pakistan. U on the other hand live in cloud cuckoo land !

[mrgoodboy2]

Jaswant Singh IS A KINGH

[vieticons]

We got too Lucky to be Pakistani, isn't ???

[jpandyaraja]

Nehru was too obsessed with lady

Mountbattens ass to concentrate on task at hand,,,,

[Muzammil787]

Eventually someone from redical HIndus admitted that who was right and who was wrong.

Now followed by Babri masjid demolition and Gujarat riots i predict that more PAKISTANS are coming out from India.

Right.......

[jpandyaraja]

so when will we at last have a paki criticising jinnah and praising ghandhi..?

never i suppose...that we know about you fantatical fucking pakis....

[RajaMalhar]

Jawant attracted towrds Jinna after enjoying powers and honor through BJP and now he is licking Paki ars.

[TENNISCHAMP98]

This took a lot of guts- good job Jaswant.

[SohailGogal]

I agree, it shows the height of his moral character, his book represent his unbiased conclusion of his research on Jinnah. It does not mean that everyone should agree with him but I praise his truthfulness and strength to stand by his opinions. This is a positive change in India - atleast the society is warming up to the idea of questioning its history and past events and personalities. someday we pakistanies and &indian can have an open minded discussion on these topics.

[shahidm09]

Enemey saying, Jinnah was a great Person.

He Was Our Jinnah.

[GotAttitudeProblem]

im paki n i like this dude

[MrObserver58]

Truth can never be kept under cover for ever. It has to come out, as in the case of Advani and now Jaswant Singh. You have to admit that Jinnah beat the British, The Indian Congress and the RSS trioca single-handedly, and history vouches for it - inspite of all the sadistic names you associate Jinnah with.

[EnigmaticMayur]

plain and simple-

bjp wants to prove congress wrong..

to prove congress a devil- they wud always criticize congressmen like nehru, patel nd gandhi nd they wud stoop to such low levels that they wont hesitate praising that gay egomaniac jinnah

njp wont be in power fr next few decades. indian people aint nutts

mayawati wud be dancing..so the lefties :p

[questbaz]

then why did they expel him from the party.

[questbaz]

Although i am Pakistani but i salute Mr. Jaswant Singh for his courage,determination and intellectualism. My congrats to Indian people for having such politicians and nations/countries progress due to such leaders who have the courage to speak truth.

On the other hand we have corrupt,illiterate,stupid,unpa­triotic and selfish bastards as our leaders and the greatest stupid,corrupt bastard is our president. Someone should write a book on our president that how one can be so corrupt,stupid bastard

[hotncool008]

Thanks for kind words. And we have been blessed with several such leaders, which is one of the reason we are still a libral secular democracy, in a neighbourhood where its an alien concept.

And before anyone says, we are still not perfect, but are going in right direction.

[EnigmaticMayur]

nice to hear that bro

its always nice to have a democracy and good leaders and there will always be opposite views which is welcome

[questbaz]

Alas no Pakistani politician ever got the time to write about Quid-e-Azam. They were/are more busy in filling their bank accounts with the money stolen from the people. All politicians should be handed over to Taliban for beheading. No one will regret that.

[chalmeredil]

Kazmi

Jaswant is a leader having courage to do so as living in fake democracy and extremists was difficult to say anything possitive about pakistan. well said about jinnah Mr.Jaswant

[chalmeredil]

indian extremists cant accept realities and truth as most of the popular indian journalists wrote about hindus one of them is nirad chaudhary.

well said Mr Jaswant. we salute u for ur bravery attitude and revailing reality and true face of hindu leaders and fake democracy of indians.

[J4jahangir]

This year month of August reviewed the independence situation once again...

Only self made leader can do that...

Quaid-e-Azam zindabad!

we are all thankful for Mr. Jaswant singh to show the truth and for that he paid the price.

[khurram664]

leave everything apart...Jaswant singh expressed his views about Jinnah and horable conditions of indian muslims and got fired frm party and cursed....No Freedom of Speech

Largest democracy ..My Foot..

[questbaz]

I think as human being we must appreciate the accomplishments of great people irrespective of their religion,faith or nationality.

[SinbadReturns]

Let's just leave aside India-Pakistan..Jinnah played a great role in the Independence of both the countries from the British..But sadly his achievements are not taught in India...

Jinnah role in Independence was just as great as Gandhi's or Bhagat Singh's...but he is not glorified like them in India...just because he made Pakistan...

Well done to Mr.Jaswant Singh..it's about time we all start moving forward & respect those who deserve..whether they were Pakistani,Indian or Bangladeshi!

[syedwaliahmed]

for your kind information JINNAH THE "FATHER OF PAKISTAN" is Shia khoja isna asheri..so think

before you say...

[qasim024]

mr.JINNAH is offcourse very impressive personality bc of his views,thinking,he sacrifice for us....great person

[questbaz]

For my Indian friends, you surely can't call your former defense,foreign and finance minister i.e Jaswant Singh, an ISI agent.

I think India is democratic country far better than us but still it has long way to go as there is same narrow way of thinking and no freedom of expression.

[lahore0001]

I feel sorry for all the jealous indians, Infact brave Jaswant knew the consequences in his consciously, but he had the courage to stand up for the truth i.e. "Quaid-e-Azam= Great Leader". He defeated the most hypocrite leaders(of masses; Gandhi & Nehru). Gandhi had this hidden alliance with NAZIs. Winston Churcill commented about Gandhi,' naked fakir posing as a hypocrite'. I salute Jaswant's courage, and hope any Jinnah from Sikhs rise and protect their security and identity.

[SDSen]

Nehru was busy banging Mountbatten's wife to get his job done..I hope Jaswant has mentioned that in his book

[heavyatheart]

Pakistan is a far cry from what Jinnah stood for. Gandhi a Nazi? so that's what mullah teach in radical terror madarsas i believe. What a joke and a pity !! Gandhi is hailed as biggest figure of last millenia - by great non Indians. Nelson Mendella, Martin Luther drew all of their inspiration from Gandhi and his life. Look outside madarsas somedays! Any nucklehead can figure out why Chruchil would make such a comment about Gandhi. Jaswant isn't a Sikh - He's a hindu rajput. SHows ur ignorance.

[usamax007]

what do u expect from other side of border ie from we pakistanis? should we also write a book and say that Mr. Gandhi and Mr Nehru were greatest leaders. They worked very hard for the partition of sub-continent! But Mr Jinnah dint want partition to happen!

doesnt that seem ironic!

[zaheerkk82]

Pakistan's 2 percent minority are not only hindu there are christian Sikhs Parsi and Qadiyanis as well So 2 percent minority cannot be compare with 20 percent minority. The main problem is that you highlights extremism in Pakistan but close eye on extremist element in India.

My last word without any offense for you is "peace" !!!

[zaheerkk82]

Brother Calm down Justice Rana Bhagwan Das was former Cheif Justice of Supreme Court of Pakistan. Dinesh Kaneria is a hindu crickter hindu top leading Fashion designer Deepak Parwani Suneeta Marhsall a leading model and actor just explore the examples.

Pakistan has 2 percent minority and Shia isn't count as minority they are a sect of Islam . Our Govt and CM don't order like Narinder modi that you have one day free to do as much genocide in Gujrat this statement is on the record in reports.

[devinedevine12]

No doubt Quaid-e- Azam was a great leader. And i am also sad he was only few months to rule pakistan.

Never seen such a cool indian leader in my life who can openly support Quaid-e-azam.

[chwaqas]

(Jaswant has been expelled by BJP from party after his recent comments about Jinnah)

[heavyatheart]

Gandhi brought independence from Brits to entire south asia - even Brits concede that. There would have been no India or Pakistan if not for Gandhi. Power hungry people like Nehru, Jinnah and many others were dangling along with him for their own future benefits. cheers to you too !!!!

[rishabhenator]

Jaswant Singh suffered humiliation for speaking out what he thought was right........over the years jinnah and nehru were criminalised and patel was a hero.....here he charges patel,nehru for being responsible for the partition with very concrete proof......Infact Jinnah was hailed as a pioneer in Hindu muslim unity after the divide and rule tactics of the British

[heavyatheart]

Ridiculous. You'll never see a book written by a Paki in praise of great Mahatma Gandhi. Even Advani had praised Mohammad Ali Jinnah five years ago.

[heavyatheart]

Smart Jaswant - His book will do great in Pakistan ;)

[heavyatheart]

Jinna was quite secular and also not too religious - But the country he founded is 180 degrees from his vision.

[BROADKASTPAKISTAN]

Jinnha had an enlightened spirit and ideology, tolerant and accomodating attitude, firm and strong moral character but rivals were RAVANs urder the garb of democracts who had greed to feed the nation. Ravan in the heart of BJP.

[BROADKASTPAKISTAN]

RAWAN IN THE HEAR OF BJP

Sacking of Jaswant Sing by BJP reveals the "RAVANISH" mindset of this ultra biased party of India.

Bal Thakery is the spokesman of ideoogy BJP.Jaswant was right to say and write it was Nehru Ji and his allie's rigidness and lust for power that divided the India.

Time will reveal more facts and truth on the Greatness of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, QUAID E AZAM. The Great Leader ever born.

[SDSen]

I agree with Jaswant! A shame he got sacked

[shoaib568]

I am shocked at the sacking of Mr. Singh from BJP.

[questbaz]

The expulsion of Jaswant Singh provides the clue that just why the third world countries are and deserved to be third world countries.

[hotncool008]

yup. truly a undemocratic decision on BJP's part. But this was not the only reason behind sacking but the final nail.

BJP didnt throw Adwani out when he praised Jinnah few years back, so there is more to it than just this book.

[SARA26583]

A BIG SALUTE FOR MR JASWANT SINGH who makes our perception entirely change about Hindus as I used to think that they are all alike. I am positive that we wouldnt have needed the separate state if all Hindus were like him.

People like him born once in million years they are an asset of the world we must respect them. They worth call them true human .

[shoaib568]

Dear you should not change perception about hindus because Mr Jaswant is SIKH.

[nikred]

you are wrong, he is a hindu. He is a rajasthani. So most probably a rajput. hmmm.....coming to think of it Jinnah's ancestors were hindu rajputs too. :P

[heavyatheart]

Jinn's father was hindu until his adulthood. He converted to Islam over some small issue in feat of anger - just to express his rage with family. 'Jina' is a gujarati/ kathiyawadi word for 'small' or 'younger' - they were Lohana Rajputs.

[shoaib568]

A five minute old Muslim convert is as good a Muslim as tenth generation old Muslim.

[nikred]

When did I say he is not a muslim? I told that he is from the same community, so I felt Jaswant might have some kind of soft corner for Jinnah.

Let me make one thing clear. I agree with Jaswant Singh. Jinnah was a sincere leader who took steps what he thought was right for Muslims. But at the same time the present day Pakistan is not what he dreamt of.

[shoaib568]

I agree

[hotncool008]

If a hindu starts praising pakistani Muslim leaders he becomes great to all Pakistani muslims. sweet. I guess we all should send flowers to your brother Kasab.

[questbaz]

Don't you think that Jaswant singh , a politician of such high stature who had key government posts, when writes about something by going against the popular opinion and risking his position , can only be truth. Very few people have courage to do that what Jaswant singh has done. The matter of fact is that truth prevails.

[hotncool008]

There might be some truth to what Jaswant says but most BJP types have been impressed with Jinnah.

BJP is nothing but a Hindu version of Muslim league. They dont really believe in secular ideals, they would love to devide the country in hindu and muslims just like league did in 40s.

Blaming congress for partition brings political dividends to BJP, thats another reason even LK Advani did it.

Any secular libral indian will have an issue with that and poll results have been showing it.

[SARA26583]

I really really respect J singh for publishing truth for the first time in Indian history. I used to think that India is a democratic country but what their media did with this guy is totally inhuman. We must respect and encourage people like him from both side to understand the reality rather than living in fools paradise

[hotncool008]

What have indian media done too him? He isnt being demonized. Yes his party expelled him but then they have every right to do whatever they want. If Indian people dont like their decision they will decide about them in next election.

[dewan357]

Fuck this fucker!

[questbaz]

@agentsback,Truth and honesty wins the hearts and minds and is irrespective of the religion.

[lovelogy]

Awsome, my first favorite leader in India was Laalu Prasad, Now he is my favorite too for speaking the truth... A big slap on the faces of Hindutva(Only Hindu State) promoters...

Our hearts are with Indian muslims too...

[as1295]

Pakiboy living in a monolithic society has made you see everything in Muslim versus Hindu terms.

Jaswant Singh is a Hindu Rajput from Rajasthan

[zuhayer171288]

even the indians testify that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was & is great ... WAKE UP PAKISTAN ... you who have been sleeping after selling your dignities....WAKE UP ... before it is too late

[busola100]

Well done J singh, as your PM does, being responsible and said the truth AFTER SO LONG, I hope we pakis and indian could live side by side, god bless Jinnah and JSingh, we should have such leaders on both sides and stop hate mongers

[busola100]

To look at the big picture Jinnah and Other Congressmen were not so different, they wanted independence for united india, but later on things went wrong

[anant14]

As an Indian I do not support Mr. Jinnah's decision like the Direct Action Day riots, and his theories of a Federation with a weak center as well as blackmailing of the Congress every time before partition......

But there is no doubt that he was a man of great character and honesty......far better than the corrupt politicians of today !.......

[questbaz]

Mohammad Ali Jinnah was a great leader and inspiration.Alas in Pakistan we did not and don't have any leader who had/has a tiny share of Jinnah's vision,patriotism and character.

At the same time i must praise Mr. Jaswant Singh to have come up with such a unbiased research.

[zainabzubairi]

great to see someone giving Jinnah the respect and admiration he deserves, Jinnah was indeed one of the greatest men of all times.

[khdfgb]

What are you saying?

[zainabzubairi]

wat do u mean, wat am i saying?

[rajujay]

Well to me this seems that now Indians are awakening and they are coming out from the shell of myopia. They have after all realized that Jinnah was great indeed.

[maseducation]

Having held the portfolios of defence, foreign affairs and finance as federal minister Jaswant Singh wouldnt want to be seen as anything but an Indian patriot. It is thus that he makes for an unlikely admirer of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the creator of Pakistan.

[ronaz316]

Mohammad Ali Jinnah is great leader for Hindu -muslim unity ,Indeed a great personality ,1920 while resigning of congress party hasty revolution and give prophetic warning about disaster of hindu-muslim unity breakdown ,he said that "No one has desire of independence greater than mine"
