At last we have an opportunity of escaping the delusion and coming face to face with our ‘real’ history. Well done Prof Hoodbhoy.👏

Thanks for this. Very comprehensive and helpful for someone like me who barely knows anything about Pakistan. Would love to visit one day.

Sir Syed was not a native of UP. His ancestors migrated to india from Afghanistan during the Mughal rule of India. His ancestors were connected to the Mughal court. No wonder he looked down on the natives with contempt. It is this mindset which made him think of two nations as he had nothing in common with the natives. This mindset is no different from the British colonizers. .

@Dr.Hoodbhoy You are so wrong when you say Congress wanted the British to go away. Fact is, Congress was created by the British after 1857 sepoy mutiny to help them rule and loot India not to free India. The mutiny made the British realize that few British couldn't hold on to india by force. Which is why they created Congress to channelize Indian freedom struggle into the lamest forms of opposition. Fact is Gandhi and Jinnah never wanted independence of India. Not even one Congress party member was ever incarcerated in cellular jail which was created to imprison real freedom fighters. Contrary to Sir Syed's prejudice against Bengalis, 70% of the inmates of cellular jail were Bengalis. Bengalis were at the forefront of India's independence struggle. Forget Pakistan, even in India, except Savarkar the rest of the freedom fighters in cellular jail their contribution and sacrifices are completely missing in our history books.
