Jinnah, Author of the Partition
 Dr. Koenraad Elst
On one point, though, Jaswant Singh is right: Mohammed Ali Jinnah was truly a great man, -- but for the opposite reason than the one he gives. It was not for his purportedly being a "secular" guardian of Muslim interest (note the Nahruvian-secularist contradiction in terms here: a guardian of one community's interests is by definition communalist, even if he does so by peaceful and cooperative means, as Jinnah did in the 1916 Lucknow Pact), but for being a determined and highl...

The Deluded Men of Hindustan
Aneeta Chakrabarty
As if there's not enough strife and tribulations, the Don Quixotes of our land are busy tilting at the unmoving, rusted windmills of Jinnah's secularism. Advani and now Jaswant Singh have unleashed an ideological quake that tore the ground of Jinnah's communal apartheid, the very same Jinnah who declared "I will have India divided or see it destroyed." Regardless of all the intellectual harlotry to put a "secular mantle" on his venom, there is little doubt that Jinnah i...

Rabia’s God-Worship and Husbands’ Sexual Demands
 Lt. Col. (Retd. ) Mahendra Mathur

Editorial: Ignoring Lessons from Partition
The Editorial Team
Jaswant Singh's book, "Jinnah: India - Partition, Independence" has triggered a debate that refuses to die very soon. The debate is not only about Jinnah but also about partition and its various implications for India. While the debate sometimes tends to become speculative raising many hypothetical questions, most of the analysts have so far desisted from facing the real questions. The debate in public domain so far remains engaged with trivial details ignoring...

| Distortion of Indian History for Muslim Appeasement: Part 5E | Distortion of Indian History for Muslim Appeasement: Part 5E
Dr. Radhasyam Brahmachari
It has been mentioned earlier that, according to the pseudo secular and Marxist historians of India , Sikri was a small village surrounded by deep forest infested with wild animals and Akbar raised a fort-palace complex, an excellent exhibit of architecture, and thus converted the desolate hamlet called Sikri into a city within 14 or 15 years. [1] [2] [3] As it was impossible to build a city like Fatehpur Sikri, as it is today, within a short period of 14 to 15 y...
