Being a Sikh.. it had to be either our own nation or India. I think Sikhs and Hindus have more cultural and religious similarities than with muslims. It is amazing how Pakistani side always thinks we could have, should have chosen Pakistan. Two hyper sensitive religions would have been each other’s throats all the time. With India at least we have (sort of) our own state and language. So, 100% if not our own nation, then India. Sikh leaders negotiating were not sharpest of tools but at least they knew where did they have better chances to survive and thrive. Biggest downside was, we lost our historical and religious places for the Muslim dream. I think we are better off, being part of a secular nation with troubles rather than being part of Pakistan and slowly getting killed, chases away, converted or leaving to india eventually as refugees..

The main problem with Pakistan is that a majority of the ppl who live in that geographical area, have no LOVE for their country. There are two kinds of ppl who love the land, on which is denoted as "Pakistan" on the world atlas. 1. The people who migrated (read: chased out) to India.. Through their stories, they still remember their own ancestral land. They maybe millionaires in India, but if you give them a hypothetical opportunity to trade everything they have in India, for a chance to retire & to live in their ancestral land, they would go immediately. 2. Anti India population who support Pakistan( I am not targeting any religion here..) Similarly, the ppl of Pakistan, fondly remember lucknow, bhopal, Ajmer, jalandhar, delhi, shimla, bombay. They would also immediately trade their current material belongings to cross back.. But the main difference between these two sets of ppl, is that ppl who migrated to India, tried their best to move on, and mostly, had to start from scratch. Ppl who went to Pakistan (after graduation from AMU, till around 1955 - 56), went to get guaranteed jobs, where they wouldn't face competition from non Muslims. During partition, Pakistan burnt DAV UNIVERSITY lahore. It had to be relocated to Indian Punjab. But did India destroy AMU? NO! even though students studying on Indian government's money, betrayed their land and went to Pakistan. This, this is the difference. Jo log, jo kaum munaafik hoti hai, unka yehi hota hai

Even in today's east Punjab, i.e, Haryana, Himachal and Punjab states of India, Hindus are a majority. Even in Punjab, Sikhs form 58% of the population. Sikhs surely wouldn't have given anybody enough votes. But what the Sikhs give you is strength and their experience. The Sikh experience has shaped our Independence movement and hence my nation. They were the writers of my nation's story. Sikhs are not a population heavy community. They are a quality-over-quantity kind of community. One Sikh is equal to a hundred Sikhs. In the past, Hindus and Sikhs were nearly indistinguishable. But the muslims were always different. Hindus had their eldest sons ordained as Sikhs. Even now, many families of Punjabi khatris have Hindus sisters and Sikh brothers. All of them worship Mata-rani and attend the gurudwara. And that is part of the same religion to them. Even the Adi-granth has stories of Durga and Rama. All Punjabi Hindus have a photo of the akal-takht in their shops and homes. Of course, Sikhism is a different religion. It doesn't have idol worship or any havans like Hindus but these are surface level differences. At their core, a Sikh fights for dharma as any other Buddhist, Jain or Hindu would. And all the five main gurudware are in India. We should've gotten kartarpur sahib too. Then, the Sikhs would have their pilgrimages in India. If any of you think that the Khalistani episode is any indication that the Sikhs don't want to be Indians, let me tell you that bhagat Singh, mewa singh, KPS gill and countless others Sikhs have served their homeland. They served their homeland and not just saved Sikhs, but saved countless others too, including muslims.

west Pakistan's non Muslim population was not always 3-4 percent. it was 12 percent plus prior to partition. the right thing to say is that the majority of minorities were forced out between 1947 and 1951 during the partition riots. something equivalent did not happen in India.

Yes it was greater prior to partition. I meant post partition it has been around 3-4%

[@echosmith5256]

@@ThePakistanExperience then you should have used like to like numbers. The 20-30 percent numbers including east Pakistan are also pre partition numbers. Doesn't make sense to compare a 1951 census number to a 1941 census number. West Pakistan lost 75 percent of its minorities during the partition and a lot of it was ethnic cleansing not any kind of voluntary movement. East Pakistan during the same time frame saw much lower movement in the same time period because it didn't see the same kind of cleansing initially, but the 1971 genocide perpetrated by west Pakistan and jamaat e Islami targeted Hindus and ended up reducing the Hindu population of Bangladesh by 30-50 percent as well. In contrast the top estimates of how many Muslims left/were forced to leave during partition is around 5 percent of Indian Muslims. This includes victims of partition violence in Punjab as well as the upper classes who thought they would have a better life in Pakistan.

Your perspective about the Sikhs being a part of Pakistan during partition is erroneous. The idea that a country is being made for Muslims excludes every other faith which is not a Muslim faith. Jinnah was a lawyer who wanted a separate Pakistan as a homeland for Muslims. His proposal to Sikhs to join Pakistan was a clever lawyerly move but completely devoid of the reality on the ground. While Sikhs are not Hindus, I would argue their closeness to Hinduism as compared to Islam is unambiguous. Hindus and Sikhs have historically never been antagonistic cultures. It is only now stupid politicians are inventing that divide. Islam and Sikhism have always been on the opposite side of the battlefield, and the argument that Sikhs could have gone with Pakistan at the time of partition is null and void.

[@wisdomchase]

Interesting. Ostensibly in the guise of talking about "minority rights", they're channeling Punjabi ethnonationalism by trying to appeal to Sikh separatism. They don't regret that the Partition of India happened, only that their ancestors didn't claim as much as they could have, or agitate for the right set of demands: they wish their ancestors hadn't demanded a Pakistan, but a Punjabistan, by stoking the separatist sentiments of Sikhs. Very sly. However, not sly enough. Pakistanis won't change. Expect demands for an irredentist 'Punjabistan' in the wake of this Pakistan's failure and breakup. Already this Pakistan is like Yugoslavia, where most of the wealth and power is concentrated in one region and with one ethnicity (Punjab and the Punjabis, like the Serbs of the erstwhile Yugoslavia) that dominates 80 percent of the country and its institutions. So yes, that Pakistan is already breeding several subnational separatist and secessionist movements is no surprise. The future of this Pakistan is as a rump Sunni Muslim Punjabistan and a collection of other successor states (Sindh, Balochistan, Afghania etc).

[@coolaadhardude]

I disagree with your analysis.....all these evaluations of Pakistani scholars are going on because something went wrong.....we would not have had this much discussion of the two nation theory if things were okay in pakistan......the fact of the matter is as soon as you try to create a state for muslims and Sikhs i.e. a state on lines of a particular identity other than your national identity.....shit is eventually gonna hit the roof in some form or the other. There is no institutionalised discrimination in India but still we have cases of lynchings or mob violence every once in a while. Two nation theory came into being only because it had the backing of zamindaars at that time who were a bit concerned of the policy changes INC was gonna make in India post independence because it would have led to a loss of their power and status. This is clearly evident from the creation of Bangladesh.....despite the Muslim identity ......these power hungry individuals were too afraid to share power with the Bengali muslims.......they took them for granted and eventually Bangladesh was created.

[@ankitait2]

Jinnah also did the blank document shenanigans with Dalits of East Bengal and with Kings of Jodhpur and Bikaner. It was a ploy to get more territory, Gurdaspur and a few other districts. Jogindra Nath Mandal was to regret believing in the snake oil that was sold to him. The Sikhs and Jodhpur fortunately made no such mistake. It was to be a 'moth-eaten' Pakistan. Especially true after the Civil War (which eventually turned into an international conflict) of 1971.

[@a.k.830]

00:46 You are horribly WRONG here. It is true that before Partition, majority of Pakistan's Hindu population was in East Pakistan but that majority was a slim majority. If East Pakistan had 60% of Pakistan's Hindus, West had remaining 40%. As per 1941 Census, West Punjab was at least 20% Hindu or Sikh, and Sindh was 24% Hindu. Karachi had only 49% Muslim population and Lahore was 35% non-Muslim. In comparison, East Bengal aka East Pakistan, was 29% Hindu as per 1941 census. In 1951 census, West Pakistan had become 96-97% Muslim, whereas East Pakistan still had 22% Hindus. Migration of Hindus and Sikhs from West Pakistan was almost complete by the end of 1948 and was like a massive wave whereas migration of Hindus from East Pakistan was like a constant trickle. You Pakistanis know zero facts.

[@abhinavparivesh8580]

I have been watching yours shows for quite sometime and you come across as an intelligent pakistani. Great points, with some disagreement. LONG READ ALERT! Pakistanis should always understand that India's exclusionary hindutva movement is a reaction to Pakistan's TNT. The original activist movement of India was led by elitist and secular congress as a pressure group. With the arrival of Gandhi, when congress started increasing its demands and started turning into a mass socially inclusive total independence movement beyond it's mandate as pressure group of indian elites demanding small consessions, Jinnah was brought back from London to start muslim league as the entity of Muslims so as to discredit Congress as a hindu nationlist organization and not a secular Indian nationalist organization. Please note that AFTER the Muslim league was set up, RSS was born purely as a reaction in order to fight muslim nationalism with hindu nationalism. Both Muslim League and RSS were mirror images of each other advocating for and separation between muslims and hindus respectively. Majority of Hindus of the time didnt buy into RSS though. Coming to religion, Hinduism by it's very nature, as a polytheistic religion, accepts existence of allah and god in addition to it's own pantheon because existence of couple of more gods doesnt threaten the foundation of polytheistic hinduism. The monotheistic nature of islam coupled with rejection of "any other" god lays the foundation for a totalitarian and exclusivist society, that naturally led to TNT and Pakistan. India's extreme diversity of languages, sects and customs within the umbrella of hinduism, is a testament to the inherent diversity, secularism and tolerance of different beliefs in Hinduism that doesnt seek to homogenize the society around a single god or seek "purity" of belief. Not just hinduism, but also other indic religions like buddhism, and jainism share the same tolerance towards one another and they co-existed peacefully. This tolerance was also extended to historic foreign religious minorities of India-judaism and parsis that arrived way before Islam. Tolerance of other beliefs was a rule in Hinduism until Islam arrived with it's exclusivist and intolerant ideology. Hindutva unfortunately is a product of assimilation of 1000 years of muslim+christian thought into hinduism that seeks to create a pure/exclusivist society where everyone within the hindu society is equal. The argument being, if islam rejects hindu gods and hindu society and treats them as second class, hindus must reject allah and muslim society as a principle of reciprocity that it thinks is essential for self-preservation and protect hindus from repetition of that 1000 year long colonization by islam and christianity. 80% of south asian muslims are hindu converts and their "separate" identities had not crystallized despite the conversion even until the Brits arrived. Even after conversion, they continued practisng many hindu customs some of which continue to this day, particularly in marriage. The British tendency to catalogue and tabulate the society under "different categories" ossified the separate religious identity of hindus and muslims. There is an interesting anecdote that when the british carried out the first census, they would often come across people who would go to temple, dargah as well as mosque. The brits decided that "if he goes to mosque more than temple, classify him as muslim and if he goes to temple more than dargah, classify him as hindu". This was the seed of british inflicted hindu muslim partition. Anyways, one positive of Hindutva is that it is the strongest force against caste discrimination as it seeks to forge a consolidated hindu identity free of caste fragmentation that can "fight" Islam. Infact BJP wins big victory because of this grand hindu caste alliance that used to be fragmented under several regional caste based "social justice" secular parties until recently who used to win from hindu lower caste+muslim vote. Hindutva is Islam+christian exclusivist+intolerant value assimilated hinduism for the new age. 800 years of muslim rule and 200 years of british rule was bound to influence hinduism, and we see the outcome in the form of hindutva. Hindutva intolerance is just equal in measure to Islamic intolerance, they are both mirror images. If south asian muslims dropped their monotheistic islam mandated religious intolerance towards hindus and resultant separatism, realized their ethnic/genetic indian roots which ties them to their pre-islamic hindu ancestors who they share with current indian hindus, the hindutva defence mechanism of hinduism would dissapear.

I don't agree that the percentage are so low, most people who advocated for peace today are same as yesterday. The big change is in the view of the only institution that matters in Pakistan. For the first time they are feeling the pinch. Earlier they would come down hard on voices for peace calling them anti-national, traitor etc. and taking punitive action against them. But now with no foreign assistance in sight they realise that trade with india is the only way. However I do share your skepticism that the moment they have breathing space they will revert to their original antics so we must be very vigilant and limit cooperation in areas that are absolutely necessary eg climate change, but we must also be open to avenues where we can establish pakistan's dependence on us. Energy, banking, food grains and telecommunications are sectors where we can unleash two of our monopolistic greedy AAs to establish a foothold. Yes That would also help Pakistani citizens but we should not be so blinded by hate that we miss an opportunity to assert our influence. Otherising and dehumanizing even our enemies is stupid.

Nice video, Shezhad. I like your conversations with Dr. Ahmed. I know there might be some level of persecution of Muslims by some tiny small percentage of radicals, majority faith in India, and it's highly condemable. But in pakistan, your state is supporting decrimination against your minority which is not the case in India. In pakistan, I have read those details of your constitution pages where it is clearly written that no non-Muslims can become pakistan's army chief, pm, president, chief minister, ISI, or intelligence chief. While India doesn't have this issue. India already had 2 R.A.W chiefs, 4 presidents , 2-3 education ministers, and 3 chief ministers ( in hindu majority states😅) from the Muslim community in the last 75 years. One of India most famous and respected presidents was during the rule of BJP, surprisingly during the vajpayee government. Moreover, one more thing I would add here is that in pakistan people only highlight lynching of Muslims in India. No one really talks about how hindus are choped off from the head by radical Muslims, too. Like I have never seen news from Pakistan that non Muslims cut the head of Muslims in Lahor or any of the places, but you can see that news in India many times, perhaps more than Muslims lynching incidents. In India, you can joke about majority religions gods in stand-up still you can become hero but I have never seen a single comedian in India who made fun of Prophet or Allah and those who did are chopped off from the head like Kamlesh Tiwari. So, as per my personal opinion, there is no comparison for the treatment of minority b/w India and pakistan, but pakistanis can disagree. Keep making such videos Shezhad, that's how you can change radical thinking of your country towards minority.

How would a sikh homeland work. In 1947 only one district was majority sikh that too by by a bare margin. Massive riots had already taken place where sikhs and hindus fought on the same side. Many sikhs were intermarried with Hindus [khatri caste]. Pakistan should realize that its foundation as a country was bad and reform itself instead of having wet dreams. Also why are you not talking about the fact that west pakistani army drove out 7.5 million hindus from bangladesh [several of them who returned after the war and the genocide had ended]. The Pakistanis killed 30 times muslims in bangladesh compared to all the riots in India. So much for the safe homeland for south Asian Muslims. Let's not talk about 73 thousand pashtuns killed and 10 thousand balochis who have died too. RSS and all hindu extremists can only dream about killing as many Muslims as pakistani army does. The only thing pakistan has achieved is the creation of a state for the Muslim north indian elite to loot who migrated to pakistan in 1947.

So many Pakistani youtubers getting common people's opinions, but i have seen none from a minority community. Please demystify this perplexity.

Please go through the Census 1941 figures..many districts including Lahore and Karachi had Hindu & Sikh population of more than 40 per cent.

[@luvsuneja]

Argument of W Pakistan consistently having 3-4 percent minority is disingenuous. The minority population was nearly 15-20 percent pre partition.

Bhai sahab aapka desh bana hi religion ke base p hai, Then how can you expect that neither mr.jinnah will speak in favour of othere religion nor against his religion ☯️. You can trim(cut) some branches of tree 🌴 for better shape and size but you can't change the roots of trees.

[@SouthAsiaPerspectives]

Muslims & Sikhs as a separate country? Where would Punjabi Hidnus go? Why Sikhs were wiped out in West Punjab? What about Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, Jews & Christians in India? Jinnah actually promoted Drvidistan, and a deparate country for Chrstians too. It's divisive not constructive. In fact Dravidian activists wholeheartedly supported AIML in Madras during 1941 meeting. It's dubious thought ab initio.

You never had soft corner for Sikhs, you were focusing on the land. How to cover more land and cut down share of Hindus. You were not worried about religion being victimized. You had an ultra ego, that you were rulers once and you don't want to be ruled by Hindus.

u talk about muslim moblyunching but u didn't talk about muslim are 2 nd largest majority and ishai buddist Jain jews parsi r real minority in India ... But u didn't talk about hindu moblyunching in India by Muslim... U r been selective when u talk about human rights issue in India ...plz, don't compare with India because in India u so called minority population is increased twice from 9 cr to 25 cr

[@akshay_wakodikar]

I got your comment, bhai but 2nd largest majority naam ka koi concept nai hota. Majority itself means they are more than 50%. You can say largest minority group

[@HemanthKumarJadhav]

​@@akshay_wakodikar There is when it comes to a almost 300 million population.

[@akshay_wakodikar]

@@HemanthKumarJadhav What is 15% of 1.4 billion people? It's 210 million. From where did you get the figure of 300 million? Are you talking about the overall 21% minority?
