It almost sounds like palace history-the conspiracies, coups ,the assassinations, the mullahs,masjid, military and muhajirs, who are the pariahs of Pakistani society. It is a news for me that Ayub Khan was a coward ( a bhagoda in Rangoon war),for which he was punisged.2) The genealogy of Mirza , the great-grand-son of Mir Zafar is another interesting tit-bit. In spite of disclaimer by Sekhar, Mir Zafar has become synonymous with traitors, though others like Vibhishan and Quisling also share the gallery of infamous. When tge Pakistani general could rug the elections and get 90%votes in their favor,why have they not chosen Presidential type of governance ,which could have given them lasting constitutional power. The best ever thing,which happened in Indian journalism,is Sekhar and his Print. Sekhar has been able to create a niche in mass communication,which is vitiated and filled with by every kind of evils and impurities possible, like innuendo, blame-game, fake news,character assassinations, bias and what not. So much of garbage is being fed by the media to viewers that the breed of journalists championing the honest and impartial view with ethical standards has almost disappeared. Sekhar is like Prahlad in the kingdom of demons or raakshasas ruled by Hiranyakashipu, though steering himself clear of Left,centre right and not being a mental slave to any ideology.

There is a culture of violence in Bengal politics, definitely from 1969, when Marxists shared power with Bangla Congress of Ajoy Mukherjee. Some may trace it back to 1905, when Lord Curzon decided to partition Bengal. The violence that occurred immediately after the election to Legislature, the violence in Birbhum, just to name two. There is also frequent violence against the Hindus in Bangladesh, a country you praise often. Culturally WB and Bangladesh are not very different.

CORRECTION -- Mahindra & Mahindra was founded as Mahindra & Muhammad NOT Muhammad & Mahindra (just 2 years before independence) there is no Pakistani talent in here..

There is one mistake. Feeroz Khan Noon was prime minister when Martial law was imposed in 1958. Noorull amin was "designated prime minister" from 4 december 1971 till Yahya resigned after dismemberment of the country.

Nazimuddin, Bogra and Suhrawardi were of course from Bengal. However none of them were Bengali. Same with Iskander Mirza. The only Bengali in this gang was Nurul Amin.

Hussain shaheed suhrawardi was not Bengali???

Hey guys! Huge respect for SG Sahab and his journalism. Your research about Gen Yahya needs improvement. He was a Pashtun and not a Punjabi, although he was born in Chakwal (Punjab) and later died in Rawalpindi (Punjab) but he ethnically was a Pashtun from Karlani (Pashto: کرلاڼي) tribe.

[@ThePrintIndia]

That’s true. But a lot of Pakhtuns born and brought up in Punjab through generations are treated more as Punjabis. Imran Khan and larger clan for example…their political, influence and cultural base is Punjabi…you have a valid point though….thank you…shekhar

You summed it up wrong. Imran khan is not the child of army. He has support of Pakistani people from all provinces and most importantly the educated people of Pakistan.

[@hotfun07]

LAK owned land in both Mazaffarnagar and Karnal. Hence, connections both in United Provinces and Punjab.
