Random Thought XXVIII

As everyone must have heard about uproar that as been caused by Jaswant Singh's latest book where he called Jinnah, a Secular and blamed Nehru, Patel for the partition, So I was also reading articles about it and the debate that it had started. So this thought came to my mind

"Why is it called Partition of India and not creation of Pakistan? When a mother gives birth to a baby its said that a baby has born and never like a baby has been partitioned/separated. Because to put it plainly, it was something which everybody knew that wasn't correct "

Its indeed a very debatable topic and I really differ to comment more until I am fully aware of all the facts. But nevertheless a random thought.

Random Thought - XV ...Pak-istan

While reading the novel that I am reading now days, I was brought to an observation which never occurred to me before (Ya I am dumb sometimes :)), Pakistan actually means "Land of Pure" as Pak means Pure.

Which I think is quite an irony (at least nowadays) Pakistan and Land of Pure ????? But at the same time I think Pakistan with its meaning is a better name than Hindustan which only translates into Land of Hindus, literally Hindustan is quite an anti secular name.

At least both the neighbors have one similarity that none of them remained restricted to its name...rofl :)

If the above thoughts hurt somebodies sentiments, then it is purely coincidental and was not the intention of the author.
