Vision against Propaganda

Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal's historical presidential address in Allahabad introduced the Two-Nation Theory which outlined a vision for the creation of Pakistan on 29th December, 1930.

Muslims of the Subcontinent, who were supporting All Indian Congress to get rid of the British government, now had a different agenda. Iqbal's vision made them realize that Muslims would have to suffer even more once the Britishers are gone after restoring the power with the Hindu's.

Had it not been for Iqbal's vision, who thought for a separate land for Muslims on the ground of religion, Muslims would have been living as a minority with socio-religious  problems.

Does the campaign of 'Aman ki Asha' by Geo and Jang Group compliment with the Two-Nation theory of Iqbal? Can Muslims and Hindu's live in peace together having complete religious freedom? Which perspective is correct?  The one coming from a particular Media Group or the one from a great visionary philosopher?

You are the one to Decide.

  1. i believe that we can have friendly diplomatic relations with india, but the two nations cannot coexist together as one country. we can only have our religious freedom in our own home land Pakistan. i totally believe in the two nation theory. the Muslims in india are slaughtered whenever the extremists groups want.
