Do you think it was right to split India?

This argument is going anywhere.

Whats the dispute all about?

Its not even relevant to the thread.

As a Pakistani, I feel sickened by the crimes that we committed against Bangladesh, it should never have happened and the Pakistani media have tried their best to make people forget it ever happened and paint Bhutto as some sort of massive hero. The fact that they still haven't issued an official apology is a sign that we simply refuse cohesion with Bangladesh and an apology is long overdue.

Personally, I think India could not have sustained itself without splitting apart, Muslims were being brutally murdered and endlessly persecuted in India and all the events had to come to a head somewhere and that "somewhere" was Pakistan.

In 1947, India was split into Pakistan(Muslim Majority) and India(Hindu Majority), do you think this is right?

I don't think it is. I think it is a mark of failure for society to cooperate and get along, regardless of religion. There is no need for 2 majority religions to have separate countries, people should be able to integrate and associate themselves with people no matter what their religion is. The topic is old, but it is a better time to debate over it because we have the benefit of hindsight.

So, do you think it was right for India to be split into Pakistan and India?

EDIT: I forgot the poll, is there a way to add it in?

We understand- BUT A PUBLIC APOLOGY IS SINCERELY NEEDED. PAKISTAN should pay for the debt they owe us.
It's nice to see there are open minded people like you though

It is sad that this is what British colonialists forced them to, but it also remains true that Muslims would have been treated as 2nd class citizens had the country remained as one. just as muslims face discrimination and poverty today in India.

Pakistan probably isn't in any good financial position to pay reparations to the Bengalis

I find it funny how they manage to fund nuclear weapons though ...

Probably from US military aid, Pakistan started its nuclear programme just after they lost the war to India and Bangladesh in 1971. The only reason the US supported Pakistan in the 1971 war was to get closer to China and to counter communist Russia during the cold war, while America supplied weapons to Pakistan in the war, the USSR was sympathetic to the cause and supplied military equipment to Bangladesh and India.

When it was becoming clear that Pakistan was about to lose, on the 11th of December 1971, president Nixon sent America's aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise to the Bay of Bengal, in response, Russia dispatched 2 groups of cruisers and destroyers, and a submarine armed with nuclear missiles into the Bay of Bengal and trailed U.S. Task Force 74 into the Indian ocean.

I know that the USA supported Pakistan and that Bangladesh was supported by the USSR but how are they funding weapons in recent years, relations between the USA and Pakistan aren't exactly friendly.

Pakistan probably isn't in any good financial position to pay reparations to the Bengalis, but the fact that Pakistan can't even bring itself to at least give an apology for its horrendous war crimes shows how politically immature Pakistan is

really informative posts by you so thank you for that.

would you be able to give a similar breakdown of the conflict in Kashmir?

thanks.


regards to the op. I think India should have remained as one but Gandhi's rhetoric made Muslims wary and spurred them to demand Pakistan.

if the nationalist movement was led by subhas chandra bose instead I believe Muslims would not have felt the need to create Pakistan.

Tbh, no country will apologise for anything they've done in the past. This isnt a unique trait of Pakistan imo.

A lot of countries have apologised for past war crimes.

Like the United States have apologised to african slaves?



That was the German government, not the Nazi government. Report back to me when the Nazi government apologies to holocaust victims

German government is retarded. Israel demands money and germany gives, like a good little bitch.


Agreed with the bold part but its never going to happen.

I think id like an apology off the British government first for being under colonial rule for almost a century.

Oh, and revenge negged
