The so called patriots from Bollywood have lot to answer to Indian public for the sin of creating Pakistan that was committed by their father, grandfather or great grandfathers against India.
We can start with Kaifi Azmi, father of Shabana Azmi. He wrote poems celebrating the creation of Pakistan. Kaifi Azmi was a proponent of partition and wrote a poem just before Partition ” अगली ईद पाकिस्तान में” (Next Eid in Pakistan). What a pity, went and came back within few days. Stayed here and now his children give us gyan on how much their parents loved india.
IPTA (Indian People’s Theatre Association) was and remains the cultural front of Communist Party. Check Shabana Azmi and she is an active proponent of IPTA. It was under the communist ideology that writers like Kaifi and even Shahir Ludhianvi supported creation of pakistan. Shahir in fact lived in Pakistan for about 6-7 months and pleaded with Indian govt to allow him back to India and lived here. Though people like Kaifi and Shahir and Naser’s father were writing poems and giving speeches in favour of ‘New Medina’.
Javed Akhtar’s great-grandfather Maulana Fazle Haq Khairabadi, gave a Fatwa to capture and bring down Hanuman Gari temple in 1855. British actually had saved the temple. Khairabadi instigated others to die for Jihad, he himself led a lavish luxurious life and never even saw a battlefield. Muslims who tried to forcibly take the temple were killed by Hindus and Khiarabadi issued a Jihad call against British. For giving this call he was captured and sent to Kala pani. He kept on pleading loyalty to British post 1857 and blamed some other Khairabadi. Jaan Nisar Akhtar’s grandfather pleaded and British relented in exchange of loyalty.
Now come to Naseeruddin Shah’s family. His great grandfather Jan-Fishan Khan, supported the British in 1857, got a Jagir in Sardhana and pension of Rs.1000. His father, Ali Mohd Shah, was a Muslim League member, Behraich, UP., voted for Pakistan and wanted to open a restaurant in England. He just didn’t go anywhere, stayed here and now Naseer gives gyan to us about the deep love that his family has for India.
True that he is not answerable for his father but he can’t invoke his father as well for staying here. Muslims of UP/ Maharashtra/ Tamil Nadu/ Kerala/ Bihar voted for Pakistan. They just didn’t go to Pakistan. Now take another case of Majruh Sultanpuri. He too wrote poems on greatness of Pakistan and stayed put here.
Very few of these scumbags including their leadership left for Pakistan. Even those who left, kept a part of their family in India and few more like Raja Mahmudabad came back in old age to claim property in UP (Case is still ongoing). He funded Jinnah, who was his mama. This case was finally settled and Narendra Modi govt amended the Enemy Property Act to save that property. Congress was all set to give them the property.
The term “Ideology of Pakistan” was first used in 1971 by Major General Sher Ali khan Patuadi, the Yahya Khan’s govt information minister. Do you know who is this Pataudi? Yes, he is the uncle of Saif Ali Khan Patuadi. Why did Saif’s grandfather stay here? Because his property was too huge here.
Saif’s great uncle Major Gn. Isfandyar Ali Khan Pataudi was Deputy Director of ISI of Pakistan. Another great great uncle Major Gn. Sher Ali Pataudi was Chief of General Staff in Pak army and another great uncle Shehryar Ali Patuadi was PCB chairman.
It was a well thought out stay. The chief idea was to infiltrate the politics and make changes in India conducive to Pakistan and capture this country from within; though some were simply too lazy to go to that country.
People who wanted Pakistan – mostly people from UP/ Bihar/ Maha/ TN, Kerala, MP – didnt go there and those who didn’t want Pakistan – people from Punjab and pathans of NWFP – got that country.
Muslims of Hyderabad anyway thought that they will have a separate country and the Nawab gave Rs.150 cr to Pakistan in 1947 for helping them. He put this money in a bank in London. Owaisi’s father was a Razakar in Hydrabad fighting India during police action and now he gives ‘gyan’ on how much he loves India.
Sayyed Hossain Imam from Bihar, M. Mohd. Ismail from Madras, etc, to name a few of the host of Muslim League leaders, all stayed back in India. The Raja of Muhmdabad, Begum Aizaz Rasul, Raja of Pirpur, Maulana Hasrat Mohani, etc. from U.P didn’t go to Pakistan and their descendants are today giving ‘gyan’ here.
Though they had created Pakistan as the homeland for the Indian Muslims, there is not an iota of justification for such leaders being allowed to stay back in India. Congress abandoned the true nationalist Muslims, the Khudai Khidmatgars led by the Frontier Gandhi, in name of geo-political realities.
Ironically, Latiffi, who was one of the architects of Pak and a passionate supporter of Pakistan’s creation, did not move to new country. Latiffi, lived in a flat given by Khushwant Singh’s father in 1950’s and then found his place here, died in Delhi and never went to Pakistan after creating it. Also, Rampur of Azam Khan fame, launched an agitation by setting Govt buildings on fire, demanding accession of the Rampur State to Pakistan.
You know the biggest crook who wrote the manifesto of Muslim League (which was used by Jinnah in 1945-46), the so called ideologue of Pakistan, continued to practice in Bombay High Court and never went to Pakistan. How was he even allowed to stay in this country and practice? His contribution to Pakistan is even greater than Iqbal’s, yet he never went to Pakistan.
How is it that if you were so interested in creating a homeland for Muslims in Pakistan and wrote its manifesto – ideological reasons and merging it with spiritual messages of Iqbal – yet you didn’t go there but stayed in the land you hated and wanted to get rid of it?.
I don’t see coincidence in all this. I see a clear sinister design in all this move to create Pak and not to go there. As Sardar Patel said in Kolkata 1949, “till yesterday you wanted Pakistan, voted for it and now you claim to love india, how do I believe you..?”
