Don’t Belittle the Historic Achievement
By Pervaiz Alvi
US


It is unfortunate that even 58 years after the establishment of the independent and sovereign state of Pakistan, people like Mr UsmanSher and many of his fellow Indian Muslims are still arguing against that historic achievement of ours. They are still bemoaning the division of ‘their country,’ a country in which they never had any political voice or power. A country in which they were just bystanders at the mercy of the majority dreaming of the times long gone.
It is time that this group comes to grips with political realities and stops bad mouthing Pakistan, the only country in the world that has welcomed them with open arms regardless of their ethnic origin or racial background.
