From Maulana Azad to H M Seervai, all astute observers of the political events of the closing decade of the British Raj have affirmed this fact and there is very little to argue against it.

Critics of the idea of Pakistan, and in particular the Two-Nation Theory, say that the All India Muslim League postulated that Hindus and Muslims cannot live together.

In the early 20th century, Punjab had been the hotbed of 'pamphlet wars' between Hindus and Muslims.

Thanks for proving my point yet again you religious bigot. You are shameless. And a crook.
Another Qadiyani (and pro Qadiyani) attack in favour of Engineer. Just like others, they too are applying their own meaning here. Interestingly, I have had a five-hour long love stream and every “student” conceded their position. As for these, spineless idiots, they don’t dare
