‘Holy Cow, it’s complicated!’ Never a truer word spoken. It was a tragedy the US/ the West having destroyed Al-Qaeda bases then fell into the trap of trying to run/ change Afghanistan, instead of allowing local coalitions to form, stabilise
Jinnah was secular (direct action day and many other riots organised by him pre-independence says otherwise)? BJP is hostile to its own minorities ? Nope BJP is against Islamism and predatory proselytism by abrahamics that makes the converts hostile to native culture in cahoots with communists who control the institutions.. Steve might have knowledge on Afghanistan but his knowledge on some aspects of Pakistan and many aspects of India are incorrect .. After Independence the Fabian socialist policy of Indian gov and the Marxist control of institutions was hostile to its own Hindu population while giving a free hand to islamists and Bible thumpers .. History was so distorted to glorify Mughals as if there was only positives about them while in reality the Mughals did more harm than the British did .. Hindus are seeking equality in their own land now ... westerners have very little knowledge of India especially when it comes to politics that you make up anything willy nilly ..
