Taleem e Balighan: Murder of History in Pakistan
This is episode 1 of program Taleem e Balighan. Taaleem e balighan means education for adults. This program is aimed at highlighting an alternate view about Pakistan. We view Pakistan and its issues, not from an establishmentarian point of view but from an independent one. We believe that our current generation has been fed with blatant lies about our history. We have listed some important incidents in the history of Pakistan and provided a balanced view on them.
The first episode focusess on Lies in history of Pakistan. In the first video, we discussed how Mr. Jinnah’s speech was tried to be censored, how many times did Mr. Jinnah visit Kashmir between 1940-47, the only speech by Mr. Jinnah in which he had to face hooting, Was Allama Iqbal actually the first person to propose the idea of Pakistan and the opposition faced by Objectives Resolution.
In the second video, we discuss the legendary Munir Report of 1953, Role of Army in politics and otherwise throughout our history, mistakes made by Mr. Zulfiqar Ali bhutto, the Zia period, the musical chairs of 90s and Hamsafar.
In the final video, we interviewed a professor of history from Punjab University and he admitted that Pakistan is not an ideological state, rather it is now a nation state and that the curriculum changes done by Zia needs to be reversed.
For further readings on these issues, We recommend the following books,
1. K.K Aziz, The Murder of History
2. Press in Chains, Zamir Niazi
3. Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan, Stanley Wolpert
4. A brief history of Pakistan Army by Brian Cloughley

What propaganda is the Pak Tea house trying to create, there is nothing new in this only you are trying to make it controversial,The Govt of British had nominated Mount Batten as the Governor General, which Quaid E Azam had rejected and had nominated himself, The Governor Rule in NWFP was because the Provincial Govt was under the influence of Red Shirt of Sarhadi Gandhi, and third thing Allama Iqbal was not the first person who had given the idea of a Muslim Rule but he was the first one to identify the place where Pakistan was supposed to be made, Now I know that we are all for sale it is only the price which is negotiated by the person.Urdu had been the Language which Muslims had been using Sir Agha Khan had recommended that the Language of Pakistan be Arabic, So it was decided to continue with Urdu.LET US DO SOMETHING POSITIVE, PAKISTAN HAS BEEN MADE FOR MUSLIMS AND WE WERE SUPPOSED TO START A NEW EXPERIMENT OF STARTING AGAIN SOMETHING WHICH WAS DONE DURING THE TIME OF OUR BELOVED NABI AND THE FOUR RIGHTLY GUIDED CALIPHSAND THAT IS WHY aLLAH HAD GIVEN THIS COUNTRY TO US AND QUAID E AZAM HAD GIVEN THE FIRST WORK TO MUHAMMAD ASAD WHO WAS A CONVERTED JEW FROM AUSTRIA AND A NEW DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC RECONSTRUCTION WAS GIVEN TO HIM TO TRY AND BRING THE NATION TO TODAYS WORLD.
KINDLY READ THE TRANSLATION OF QURAN DONE BY MUHAMMAD ASAD AND HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY “THE ROAD TO MAKKAH”TO UNDERSTAND WHY QUAD E AZAM HAD GIVEN THIS WORK TO HIM

Islam proved to be a failure and a fascist ideology even in the times of Mohammad and the first four kaliphs. Looking at it after an experience of 1400 years we can say with certainty that islam is inherently a fascist-totalitarian ideology and an arabic imperialism upon non-arabs.
No matter what muslims, esp. pakistani muslims, teach, learn or declare – islam will keep becoming more totalitarian and more fascistic and more arab-racist in future. The larger the muslim component in society the more rapidly the fascistization will take place. Pakistan is proving this. But muslims will cling to the deceit and self-deceit that has been indoctrinated into them and keep glorifying islam, hating non-muslims and blaming non-muslims for islam’s failures.
Non-muslims don’t expect it to be any different.
I am relieved to know that there are people like you who are familiar with this illness of ignorance that has plagued our nation.
We all know that the mullahs were against QuaideAzam and the creation of Pakistan. We are doomed if we continue to follow Arab culture and let the ignorant fools politicize religion for their own gains. We dont need Jews, US or RAW to kill us ..they need not bother..well infact they dont even care..they have important things to do.. the country is already being cleansed off minorities by organized armed attacks..and sadly the mindset of the society is suffocating enough to lead to the demise of the few remaining sane people..
Sad.
Recently, I wrote an opinion piece on why our history books should include Ranjeet Singh. The name Maharaja Ranjeet Singh was symbolic and used as an example to point out the need to look at our history objectively.
For the critics who just could not shed their keyhole vision of looking at history through a religious lens, I would ask them a question. When Pakistan plays a cricket match with India, why do we support Danesh Kaneria, a Pakistani Hindu cricketer, over Irfan Pathan, an Indian Muslim cricketer? We support Kaneria for the simple reason that we associate his spirit of nationalism with the geographic confines that he represents, not the religion he follows. Going by the same logic, shouldn’t our hero be Raja Jaipal instead of Mahmood Ghaznavi? And if Ghaznavi being a fellow Muslim is enough for us to overlook his devastation in India, then we should also gleefully accept Taliban suicide bombings in Pakistan.
One has no problems with Muslim rulers being covered in history books. I do have a problem, however, when certain rulers are glorified at the expense of others on the basis of religion, regardless of who the aggressor was. I do have a problem when the names of non-Muslim rulers are conveniently skipped as if they never existed. I have a bigger problem when the mission of spreading Islam is attributed to the invasions of Muslim rulers. Because when the true motive behind their attacks is revealed, it’s Islam that gets maligned not them.
Even if I were to believe that these rulers attacked out of a genuine wish to spread Islam, who authorised them to do so by the use of the sword? Even the battles fought by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) were actually a punishment of Allah for the disbelievers because the disbelievers persisted in denying Allah’s message. It was only when Allah ordered: “Fight them so that Allah may punish them at your hands” (9:14); that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) waged war. I would like to know who gave these rulers the authority to decide which disbelievers deserved to be punished and which people had reached the level of purity to be left alone? If spreading Islam was their intent, they could have just preached it. If anything, they should be discredited for contributing to Islam’s wrong image as a violent religion.
I wonder why we are so quick to assume the role of a Muslim apologist. May I remind all such people how Mahmood Ghaznavi killed the locals of Lahore ruthlessly when he attacked and burnt the entire city? May I remind them of Nadir Shah who in matter of a day killed thousands of Muslims when he marched on to Delhi to snatch the throne from Mohammed Shah, one of the last Mughal kings of India and yet another Muslim? Or Ahmed Shah Durrani, who ravaged the Muslim population of Gujrat while fighting the Sikhs? What about the Delhi Sultanate which, over a period of 300 years from 1206 to 1526, saw five Muslim dynasties namely Slave, Khilji, Tughlaq, Syed and Lodhi dynasties, indulge in intrigues and murders of each other to capture the throne. Did any of these rulers care about Muslims that we are so religiously guarding them? Do we all know that Maharaja Ranjeet Singh was requested by prominent Muslims of Lahore to come and capture the city?
All the rulers of the subcontinent, Muslims or non-Muslims, locals or invaders, were interested in ruling this land purely for political and economic reasons. Why bring in the religious angle or deprive ourselves of our multicultural history? Not only does this fuel religious bigotry and intolerance, it also plants a false sense of invincibility in our minds that allows us to deflect the blame of our failures on others.
And those who think distorting history is a strategic tool need to wake up to the detrimental effects of this policy. Not only has it fanned intolerance by making us believe we are victims of some nefarious and well-coordinated chicanery, it has also instilled a misguided and one-sided sense of Muslim brotherhood in us. I was appalled to hear a member of the National Assembly a few days ago declaring that we should come to the aid of our Afghan brothers. How did a country that has for 800 years attacked the subcontinent suddenly become our brother is devoid of any logic. Let alone the fact that the only country to oppose Pakistan’s entry into the United Nations was Afghanistan. What about Egypt, which provided supplies to India during the 1965 war? How about Iran, which refused to sign the gas pipeline project to protect India’s concerns? So why embark upon this one-way road?
In the end, I’ll mention an incident, found in one of Manto’s stories, which is the perfect manifestation of the prejudice we have come to espouse. The incident is about the religious riots in Lahore during Partition when a group of Muslims is attacking the statue of Sir Ganga Ram, an honourable son of Lahore, which once adorned Mall Road. During the attack a man gets carried away, climbs atop the statue, falls down and injures himself seriously. The fellow rioters immediately pick him up while one of them screams “Hurry; let’s take him to Sir Ganga Ram hospital”.

BRAVO, 99% of your post was brilliant. Yet this sentence was the jarring bit- “Even the battles fought by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) were actually a punishment of Allah for the disbelievers because the disbelievers persisted in denying Allah’s message. ”
In matters of history of India and Pakistan, the prophet and his wars should be left alone. Otherwise you are energising another Kasab to go and wage war on the ‘disbelievers’
But the rest of your post is excellent- particularly Manto’s story about Sir Ganga Ram- vintage, acidic Manto !!!
So is Allah punishing Muslims with drones now at the hands of kuffar?
BUT ADVANI IS USING RAM TEMPLE @ AYODHYA AS A STATUS-SYMBOL (EGO) OF HINDUISM. Isnt that totally flawed and a fraud on historical facts. They are demolishing something.. and breaking the law.. based on their “ITIHAAS SAAKSHI HAI” (History is witness to..). But their version / take on history is NOT based on fact. It is not even fiction. It is FANCY. And how do you raise a secular, non-religious, impartial eddifice of a STATE in such an environment., when the majority breaks Law in broad daylight.
What does it connote ? India IS a Hindu Raj… since 1935… but it is de-jure. In the next 20-25 years, it will become a Formal Hindu Raj.
How will it impact/effect India’s 2nd majority ? Well., Indian muslims will learn to live with it. Arent they living in Narendra Modi’s Gujarat… They will be subdued.. silenced.. will power broken.. That is what Bal THackerey, 86, wants.. while he is alive.
We’ll probably need to make another Pakistan for the remaining Muslims.

Allah needs your help.

Even if you choose to abondon your religion …..by “thinking” of history in whatever way you wish. You will still remain what you are …! One day this will become evident to you that despite being liberal and secular (to the extent of anti-islamic) Muslim, you are still being thought of as Fundamentalist, terrorist , extremist…
Just wait….and you will see.
