Endorsement of partition breeds hatred between Muslims and Hindus and serves no purpose; therefore, writers and speakers must shun the justification of partition.

Partition was a blunder and was sought to meet political ends.”-- Nasim Yousaf http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamBooksAndDocuments_1.aspx?ArticleID=6511 |
