“Don’t jallous!”
By Yasser Latif Hamdani
Shafat Shafi, a good friend, tagged me onto a status update of a pushtun cyber-activist called Rashid Orakzai who is on a personal crusade against Jinnah. Normally I ignore Rashid Orakzai’s “criticism” of Jinnah because it is without exception un-intellectual, biased bordering on idiotic. Besides Jinnah was no prophet nor do Jinnah’s admirers wish to create a blasphemy law for him because that would be the very negation of the man who stood for 40 years in the Indian legislature fighting for freedom of speech, expression, equality and the fundamental rights of all Indians citizens at par with anyone else in the world.
However there are certain things that need to be pointed out. Rashid Orakzai posted the picture above on his status and wrote this following comment:
“This is Jinnah’s Cadillac, Perhaps now maintained at State’s expenses in the Museum below his Tomb. Which of 20th century’s leaders were driving famous for such expensive hobbies? Where leaders around the world are known for their vision, humility, persuasive power, simplicity and native-ness, Our founder is known for his snobbery, Britishness, style, elitism and pigheaded-ness. It’s forbidden rather blasphemy, in Pakistan to question Jinnah.”
Which of the 20th century leaders “were driving famous for such expensive hobbies”? Oh let us see now. Mustapha Kemal Ataturk. Winston Churchill. Jawaharlal Nehru. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. FDR. John F Kennedy. Ramsay Mcdonald. Atlee. Josef Stalin.
There was a difference of course. The great 20th century leaders named above either indulged in their hobbies on state’s expense or they indulged in their hobbies because of their inherited wealth. Jinnah alone did so because he earned every single dime and the Cadillac above was from Jinnah’s own money. If I am not mistaken this is 1935 or 1936 Cadillac. Jinnah used it till the end of his life in 1948. UPDATE: I have been corrected by Donocharya that this is a Packard 1936 and the same car that carried Jinnah, Gandhi and Rajendra Prasad for a meeting. The car was bought by Jinnah in 1936.
Now compare this to Gandhiji, the great nativist “simple” leader. Sarojini Naidu’s comment “millions are spent to keep Gandhi in poverty” should put to rest any such self righteous nonsense. Gandhi through out his life was funded by Birlas and the Tatas and what not. Even his sojourn during the second world war in a British prison was at the Aga Khan Palace in Puna. Now come to persuasive power. All historians agree that Jinnah’s persuasive power was what was his strongest point. So I am not sure what Mr. Orakzai means when he says this. It is not forbidden to question Jinnah nor is it blasphemy but it seems that it is forbidden to defend him.
Jinnah’s public service has been acknowledged by even his worst enemies and rivals. His legislative contribution to India in very real terms is still evident. I don’t need to repeat these fundamental truths about the life of Quaid-e-Azam. I will however mention his last will and testament which was faithfully carried out. What was it? I produce here Jinnah’s last will and testament:
Little Gibbs Rd, Malabar Hill, Bombay – 30th May 1939
(1) This is my last Will and Testament, all other Wills and Testaments of mine stand cancelled.
(2) I appoint my sister, Fatima Jinnah, Mr. Mohammedalli Chaiwalla, Solicitor Bombay and Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan of Delhi as my executrix and executors and also my trustees.
(3) All shares, stocks & securities and current accounts now standing in the name of my sister, Fatima Jinnah, are her absolute property. I have given them all to her by way of gifts during my lifetime and I confirm the same, and she can dispose of them in any manner she pleases as her absolute property.
(4) I now hereby bequeath to her my house and all that land with appurtenances, outhouses etc. situated at Mount Pleasant Road, Malabar Hill, Bombay, including all the furniture, plates, silver and Motor Cars in its entirety as it stands absolutely and she can dispose of it in any manner she pleases by will, deed or otherwise.
(5) I also direct my executors to pay her during her lifetime Rs. 2,000/- two thousands per month (for her maintenance and other requirements for her).
(6) I direct my executors to pay per month Rs. 100/- one hundred to my sister, Rehmat Cassimbhoy Jamal, during her lifetime.
(7) I direct my executors to pay per month Rs. 100/- one hundred to my sister, Mariam Abdenbhoy Peerbhoy, during her lifetime.
(8) I direct my executors to pay per month Rs. 100/- one hundred to my sister, Shereen, during her lifetime.
(9) I direct my executors to pay per month Rs. 100/- one hundred to my brother, Ahmed, during his lifetime.
(10) I direct my executors to set apart Rs. 200,000/- (two lacs) or (two hundred thousands) which will at 6% bring an income of Rs. 1,000/- one thousand and pay the income thereof whatever it be to my daughter every month for her life or during her lifetime and after her death the corpus of two lacs so set apart to be divided equally between her children, males or females, in default of issue the corpus to fall into my residuary estate.
(11) I direct my executors to pay the following by way of gifts to the institutions mentioned.
(A) I bequeath Rs. 25,000/- Twenty-five thousand to the Anjumane-Islam School, Bombay, situated at Hornby Road opposite Boribunder Station and next to the The Times of India Buildings
(B) I bequeath Rs. 50,000/- Fifty thousands to the University of Bombay
(C) I bequeath Rs. 25,000/- Twenty-five thousands to the Arabic College, Delhi
(12) Subject to above, all my residuary estate including the corpus that may fall after the lapse of life interests or otherwise to be divided into three parts – and I bequeath One part to Aligarh University, One Part to Islamia College, Peshawar, and One Part to Sindh Madressa of Karachi.
Sd / M. A. Jinnah
A substantial sum was left to Peshawar’s Islamia College which is the main corpus of the Peshawar University of upto 25 lacs (approx 15 -30 crores of today). In fact this amount of money helped Peshawar University expand and provide education to Pushtuns like Mr. Orakzai. Jinnah did not care if they were going to graduate and abuse him. He was a believer in real and effective social service, not symbolism that other leaders indulged in, including Gandhi and Bacha Khan. Would Orakzai tell us what became of Bacha Khan’s estate? Was it utilised to educate Pushtuns?
For those of us who have travelled and are familiar educational institutions, we know that it almost always a successful generous donor who has ensured that educational institutions sustain and produce quality citizens. By emphasising “simplicity” and “nativism” over practical help, people like Orakzai only prove that the East is still too backward, still too guilty to be successful.
Countries progress not because dramas and political symbolism of demagogues like Gandhi or Bacha Khan. They progress because of successful professionals – businessmen, doctors, lawyers, inventors- who after their demise leave fortunes for the betterment of humanity. Alfred Nobel is an example. The Rockefellers are another example.
So my advice to Mr Orakzai is to get your head out of where the “sun don’t shine” and grow up. As they say “Don’t Jallous” Mr. Orakzai. “Don’t Jallous”.

That pankaj does not get into his head that I am not a pakistani, and I speak about Inia and Pakistan. What I have experienced on Pakistani and Indan blogs is that both Nations have poor level of education and standards with regressive trend, kow towing the anglo saxons which is bring hem to the same fate as is occuring in Britain and the USA.
People need gesunde(healhy) common sense to understand the world, not an unhealthy common sense. Like the old Greek said that War is not the solution to problems but brings more problems.
Rex Minor
Raj,
Do not loose sense of humour. Mr Gandhi, the indian blogger, complained anout the black sex partners that he has to live with and my remark was meant towards his story. Is it racial to call a back african black! Should one call Obama a dark sun tanned individual which the Italian Prime Minister called him. This was also interpreted as a racial slur. And if you reckon that calling africans a slur then address your complaint to the guy called Gandhi who mentioned it.
Rex Minor
Raj,
and by the way, your compatriot so called GANDHI, is taliking about black male partners. So if you have a problem with his ungtaifying comments, then tell the self confessed adulterer and the homo your racial concerns.
Rex Minor
PTH has lost its status due to muslim contributors like rex, drona, tajender. It has become a propaganda site for the quislings of islamic-arabic fascism and imperialism.
Drone
So now you want Muslims to adopt Hindu bramhacharya! And you believe you will convince any Muslim except some half-hindu Pakistani looking desperately for a way to become a full Hindu but in name?
Drone, if Hindu bramhacharya was such a great thing, Islam would have taught it. And if Islam HAS taught it, then you will go much farther with Muslims if you did not corrupt the concepts of Islam with Hindu language. Please consider.
kaalchakra
Why do you pretend to be a non-muslim? You are an agent and quisling of islamic fascism – like a wolf in sheep’s clothes.
You have to be called a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothes.
Some people are profiting heavily from islamic fascism.
Hindus have forgotten the wisdom of BRAHMA-CHARYA. Elite HIndus ideally took to Brahma-charya/charini ! Common HIndu is just a statistic. Its the ELITE that changes society. (Im not being class-conscious.. it is the truth.. there is no discrimination based on economic status here.. as harbingers of change.. it must stop at the TOP.. ).. I turn the pyramid on its head., i.e. (Inverted Pyramid i.e.). Brahamacharya leads to Institution Building.. Missionary Work.
For Muslims : Its the Opposite. The world-view is different. The setting / landscape is different. The BHOG itself is part of the Jihaad (or Sadhana or QUEST for Perfection or REACHING out to one’s limit.. the Flight.. ).. So woman and kids are recommended as “speed-brakers” so that one does not get pride on one’s success !
Both models have certain + and minus. There is no comparison here. Atleast ELITE Hindus should adopt Brahm-acharya/charini. Now due to the obsession with brands., it is dying among Hinduism. THats why i realised that Hindutva will ENCOUNTER Hinduism ! In say, about a century or so. Because Capitalism (and its “Casino” version) is a very strong force. It brings about a change in attitude(s).
So whats for Muslims.. why all this long preface. For Muslims its just one word : “APOTHEOSIS”…………. KHUDI………… A-M-A-L… Can you relate to these 3 words.. or atleast to 2 of these.. Try to grasp.. connect the dots.. Does something emerge ?
.
Rex,
why do you think the poster and imposter Gandhi is an Indian?
KAAL : The moment.. Muslim(s) grasp APOTHEOSIS.. the Renaissance has begun. GRASP the thought.. Do not care for syntax. Try to grasp whats it all about. Look for it in the Holy Koran. If you grasp one line.. that’s the ladder with its 33 steps.. that will lead you to the ……………. I write these posts with great speed.. so at times there is distraction.. and at times mistake.. like for instance.. i mean “Change should start AT the TOP of the pyramid.. from its ELITE”. Instead of “Start” i typed “Stop”. (That was an error).
KAAL : Apotheosis is Iqbal`ian KHUDI………………………………..
Drone
No Hindu except some Macaulay ka achcha bacchha has forgotten the meaning of Bramacharya. And I fear Allah will be very upset to learn that instead of seriously reading the words of the Holy Quran, Muslims were now staring at the blank spaces between His words and trying to follow Hindu Brahmacharya!
If Allah is most merciful and beneficient, He is also the ultimate subduer and humiliator. A believer should be fearful of undermining and insulting Allah’s words.
Invite Non-Muslims to DAAWAT in a very kind.. subtle.. humane.. loving way. Connect with them. Tell them what you have / represent.. in a soft manner.. Moreover the presenter’s life should itself be the true MESSAGE.. (if his life doesnt offer a glimpse of the message.. it will fail). And once the message is delivered.. the duty is done. Leave the audience alone.
It is not the job to convert.. Conversion arouses a negative feeling.. and people shrink.
Just present the Daawat.. and leave it to the audience.
A small parable : Dew.. light rain.. is more beneficial to earth (for agriculture) than torrential rain. Think about it. The power of love.. DEW.. light drizzle. DEW or Tsunami.. what nourishes the earth ? what brings the dead earth alive..
Its the inner meaning.. that counts. The outer shell is not much.. Its contradictory. The core is the FRUIT. And if someone is a Hindu.. but nice.. educated.. kind to his parents.. loving to his wife.. and kids.. is honest in his dealings.. doesnt cheat.. lie.. or steal.. isnt such a person admirable.. love-able.. befriendable.. dependable.. He is following TRUE Islam.. though he has not accepted the FULL truth.. or acknowledged the FULL truth.. but he will.. in fairness of time.. IF HE SO wishes..
We are instruments.. like the Violin. Someone else is playing the Violin..
I am not so much obsessed with Hindus at all. I am more interested in the RENAISSANCE of Muslims.. Mergers.. Consolidation.. Frugality.. Proper Utilisation of Resources for greater good.. That is where i focus.
Only 2 words for 53 scattered Muslims : Apotheosis + AMAL. Amal=WORK.. KAAM. Kaam.. Kaam.. aur Kaam. Till the Dying Day. Financial FRUGALITY.. proper utilisation of resources.. MERGERS & Consolidation.. Economy of Scale !
Notabene
I agree. I am the world’s first Hindu-Muslim double agent. Allah willing, I hope become the mankind’s first agent of Hindus-Muslims-Christians, and Jews before I die.

Once again defense of Jinnah has tuned against in an offense against Gandhi.
Does that statement, that vampire never accepted gifts, still stands?
We have Jinnah’s driver saying that two cars were gifts. We have Raja Mehmumbad saying that ring was a gift.
Is this complete article just an hogwash?
kaalchakra,
are you sure Hindus consider you their “agent”?
@ Droneacharya

“You owe me.”
Look what happens with love like that.

Teacher: What is the difference between a man and a woman?
Student: Man has a sense of humour whereas a woman has a sense of rumour
Press Hazard
Manoj: What happened, yaar. You are bandaged up. Did you have anaccident?
Vinod: No, I did not have an accident. Actually I was attending a mediafunction.
Manoj: So how come you got hurt so badly?
Vinod: There was a lady reporter there, with a tab on her chest on which it was written ‘Press’. So I pressed it.”

kaalchakra,

hindu bhagwan ka dallal hai.any ttpe of agent is his competitor.
I am tempted to quote Jus. Elena Kagan (pronounced Elena KaIgan) – Associate Judge – US Supreme Court : “You need not endorse all that you read.. but read you must !”. That is the spirit ! Elena is a Brahm-acharini.. and a fine judge.. (though conservative).
I wish Muslim girls to excel.. and reach the heights of the profession like Elena Kagan.. Sonya Sotomayor !
Mere symbolism.. a cap here.. a scarf there.. doesnt make me happy. I want professional successes.. economic power.. (soft and hard).. and CONSOLIDATION.
“Jo bache hain – sang samayt lo” ! (to quote Faiz)…
and as Iqbal said : “Meri tamaam sarr-guzasht., Khoyey hu`on ki Justajoo !”
And all along I was at times hard on AKB for using bad language. I am sorry AKB! No he was not using the bad language but describing what Hinduism is all abut and how it is practiced. Hindu children are raised free of any moral cnstraints and what Mr Gandhi described to us on PTH there are no set morals for the adults as well; it appears to be a free society within a society. All the wise teachings appear to stem from Budhism. Ths explains to a large extent the word in the article Jallous!

lease tell Rajtoo if you are a genuine Indian and that you definitely shared yur private life with so called Mahatma Gandhi, before this info goes public. Thanks.

Mention of Nuclear Explosion in Holy Koran !
The word is “HUTAMA” (root word Hutam) means the crushing or grinding of everything to powder or breaking of a thing. A vehement fire, occurring twice in the same context (104:4-5). Read.. how Nuclear Explosion finds description in the Holy Koran !!!

A mendacious person like you is not going to get that honor. You will only be a quisling and bootlicker of arabs and their ethnofascism and their fascist so-called religion. You want to cheat the hindus and you are an agent of islam. No double-agent.
Dronacharya
.
“HUTAMA” sounds more like an explosion up the “blackhole” on one’s backside. There, I just proved that Koran has mentions of both blackhole and nuclear explosion. There is no evidence of the little book going anything beyond that.

Hinduism gives importance to sex no more or no less than what Christianity does. That is, it gives an undue importance to abstinence, which is what the practice of Brahmacharya is all about. Now, there is clear evidence in the Hadith that Muhammad sometimes slept with two or three sex slaves together in one night. You tell us did the God of Ibrahim specially design the size of Muhammad’s “you know what” or was the prophet just making it up as he was going along? You have only two choices.
Rexie lil dick, ” PS What right any one has to criticise the private life of the Father of the pakistan Nation?”
.
Why? Was he a prophet too? He was a great nationalist, astute politician, outstanding lawyer. Also, he was a cradle snatcher in having married a 16 year old, he was a backstabber since the 16 year old was a friend’s daughter, and an irreligious person for he revelled in his ham sandwiches and bacon, enjoyed his drink once in a while.
.
When you are a public person the world will comment on all of you, warts included.
.
Just like people will speak about lil dick Rexie as a paki who now lives in Germany and drives a taxi
Lil dick Rexie, “People need gesunde(healhy) common sense”
.
You are an outright fraud desperate to prove you are German, like many others and I have said before you give yourself away with your grammar and spelling. You can use all the German words you want you are an out and out madrasa paki with acute wahibi leanings And I am sure you are the kind who donates an ak-47 every month to kill Shias and ahmedis.
.
So stop your sickening pretence and drama. There is no need to use German words specially if you also put the English equivalent in parenthesis, it just proves you are desperate to claim some German connection. It’s pathetic, and I pity you more than I pity the leper on the corner of the road.. And you are a sympathiser of the Taliban killers too.

So how many such daawats have you hosted? How many Hindus have you helped receive the Full Truth?
to ex paki
Islam is the real cause of this tragedy (and will inflict much worse harm in future) – not Jinnah. This so-called qaid (=leader)-e-azam (=great) was actually only an “azam” instrument.
1)
Islam instills/instigates in muslims superiority-complex, victimhood-complex, entitlement-complex and separatism.
No amount of compromises or concessions by the “evil-sly” hindus (Patel, Nehru, Gandhi etc.) would have put an end to that ever.
Jinnah could never have promised or brought about an end to this complex of arrogant muslim complexes.
2)
So Patel and Nehru had to go for partition as early as possible.
If that had not happened in 1947 then surely sometime later and with far greater losses to hindus.
In 1948 Jinnah died – had the partition not taken place before that then the later leaders of the muslims would have been far more shameless and violent in their demands.
3)
So this Jinnah was only an instrument of islamic imperialism and fascism – whatever greatness he thought about himself, he was just a tool, a quisling, a jealous arrogant pseudo-clever megalomaniac.
4)
ylh is a Jinnah worshipper – he does not allow himself to be moved by facts. He just wants to worship Jinnah and denigrate hindu leaders to exalt him.
This debate is going on since 65 years and will never come to an end because muslims will/can never be honest in their self-evaluation.
to skeptic
Poison being coated with honey so as to be more attractive-effective in its fatal results.
That is what Drona is trying with his islamic tricks of presenting islam in “good” colors.
Tajender,
If I were you I would not react to magu and bene, they do not have a healthy common sense. They need not measure their IQ, but have their brains scanned and they would be told of the small tumors. They can be treated by the laprascopic procedure and without a great fuss. Other wise the next stage would be paiful when they start seeing the Rottweiler, then it will be too late.
Rex Minor
One could look at the Ispahani-Jinnah correspondence and ask, in the middle of Partition violence, what are they doing talking about the purchase of cars and personal airplane?
Of course, one might argue that they didn’t have underlings to do this stuff for them. On the other hand, ……
Anyway, it is a pity that the defense of Jinnah turned into a diatribe about “demagogues” and the like. How many people are doing social work in Pakistan because of Jinnah? I’d suggest looking at goodnewsindia.com for just a glimpse of the number of Gandhians out there still changing lives for the better.
Since Yasser knows how indefensible Jinnah was, he must attack elsewhere as a diversion!
Muslims spend all their money on Hindus ! They already do. The wily Marwaris have sucked muslim-money for a MILLENIA now… and yet… muslims do NOT realise.. Spend all your money – finance your own assasination – For a Millenia now.. muslims have been THE DAMN FUEL to feed their enemy’s economies…
but
organise processions.. dharnas.. jalsa.. juloos.. SPEECHES (with hands raised). for mere few secs of joy/thrill.
They do NOT realise the importance of economic frugality.. economic control over one’s destiny.. They are not interested in their destiny at all. It is all so adhoc..
Rank consumers… huh !
Drona is getting restless, somebody give him some zamzam.
MilesToGo
Drona is following Jinnah’s Islamic steps. Jinnah was also negotiating the price of being qualified Indian.Some times vultures think they are same as Eagles , mouse tribe think they can take on Elephant and crows claim they are very clever. But we know their mental and material diet come from garbage alone and Kartoots tell the real stiory .
Sometimes I think Pakistani Muslim have a greater chance of coming out of Islamic insanity then Indian Muslims.
Indian Muslims are yet to experience Islam – they have gotten too used to kuffar.
Jinnah was only successful as an Indian, as a Pakistani he was just a liberal and that too Shia.
Pakistani have gone through an exciting and thrilling 65 year divine ride – and now Indian Muslims want to try that too. Why does it sound funny?
IM – so how was it – we want it too!!
PM – it was good – go ahead!
IM – are you going to come with us?
PM – naah, you go ahead – we’ll try something else…
To notabene ! bhai sahib, your every word is expressing reality. there are TWO kind of fascism and you named them very PRECISELY. In my birth country, Pakistan, people consider themselves anything but sons of land. I will not go any further in that, as you are more aware of.
Jinnah might be Azam for those who think of him as that. but I refuse to accept him as that. Because an “azam” is one who see decades in advance. acid bathing girls, beheading someone who does not agree with, does not baptize creator of such as an “AZAM” Miss Malalaa is one, who if survives, will think twice to think of anyone as “AZAM”
and yes, your comments with bitter reality, educate me a lot.
to expaki
Thanks for your intelligent and sane response.
I do not like to blame human beings. I don’t belong to those who blame Jinnah since he was only a 20th century instrument of a 7th century fascist imperialist ideology from Arabia. Why an intelligent human being like Jinnah (whose ancestors were hindus) – who had the misfortune of being born in islam – ended up becoming a latter-day slave of this ideology, that will remain a puzzle for us which only he can elaborate upon.
Descendants of hindus who converted to islam are the biggest haters and killers of hindus. Islam has shown the ability to pervert human minds so deeply and irreversibly. What can be more perverse than that descendants of hindus become the biggest haters and genociders of hindus and bootlicickers of arabs and turks?
The worst of islam is yet to come.
But…
If muslims are allowed to take to the path of honesty then islam will collapse. Let us hope. Muslim leaders, mullahs and teachers will never allow muslims to take to the path of honesty. Honesty and freedom of opinion is what they fear most. They have made all attempts to suppress honesty and freedom of opinion in the name of anti-blasphemy, not hurting religious feelings and sentiments etc.
