SINCE the partition of the subcontinent, Hindu Banya, a supporter of Akhand Bharat and Hindutva, has been oppressing minorities, especially Muslims. This includes the massacre of millions during the largest migration at Pakistan’s establishment, burning Muslim business centres and houses during riots and atrocities in occupied Kashmir—desecrating Muslim women, martyring over a hundred thousand Kashmiris, burning mosques and slaughtering thousands in Gujarat. In Hashimpura, innocent youths were shot and thrown into the canal, while in Assam, Muslims were forced into helplessness.
Forcing helpless Muslims to stumble, attacking the Golden Temple and killing thousands of Sikhs, burning churches, and making lower-caste Hindus’ lives miserable—all these acts expose the face of so-called secular India. It is a pity that international organizations, including the United Nations, remain silent on Indian aggression and brutality. The Indian government has given free rein to Hindu terrorists supporting Hindutva ideology. Notably, ‘Akhand Bharat’ is a top policy of Narendra Modi, now in power for the third time.
Under this nefarious policy, during the establishment of Pakistan, the Hindus took illegal possession of large Muslim states, including Kashmir, through fraud, deceit and military invasion. Hyderabad, Manawar, Bhopal, Dadra, Nagar Haveli and Junagadh are prominent among these states. Before the partition, there were 565 independent states in the subcontinent, many of which wanted to maintain their independent status and had declared their accession to Pakistan, but the Hindu leadership, in collaboration with the British, bullied them by wiping their hands with cunning and cunning. Therefore, it will not be wrong to say that India is the largest occupying group.
By 13 September 1947, within a month of partition, India occupied Hyderabad by force. This heinous conspiracy continued with the usurpation of Sikkim on April 10, 1975. During border demarcation, British jurist Radcliffe showed bias against Pakistan, placing other independent states, including Muslim states, under India’s control. On October 26, 1947, Jammu and Kashmir was forcibly occupied, based on Maharaja Hari Singh’s so-called annexation. Prime Minister Nehru stood in Lal Chowk, Srinagar, and promised the people of Kashmir that the annexation had no basis and that they would be asked through a free referendum what they wanted. However, this promise was never fulfilled, reflecting the ongoing bias and aggression against Pakistan and its allied regions.
Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy of united India, also said that this accession was temporary. But 5 August 2019 was the dark day when the fascist Modi government seized Kashmir by abrogating Articles 370 and 35-A of the Indian Constitution. Junagadh had been annexed to Pakistan, but this state fell victim to Indian deception. Counted among the rich states of India, its Nawab wanted to join Pakistan, but India dropped its troops there in the dead of night and took illegal possession on November 9, 1947. A Security Council resolution against this Indian hegemony is still on its agenda. Therefore, it is necessary that Pakistan should raise the issue of this state, like the issue of Kashmir, at the international level, and the United Nations should free it from Indian domination. Bhopal was also a prosperous independent Muslim state.
At the time of the partition of the subcontinent, Bhopal declared independence and became the first capital of Islamnagar state, but India forcibly occupied it in 1949 and made it a part of the state of Madhya Pradesh on May 1, 1949. Bhopal was the second richest state in the subcontinent after Hyderabad.
India’s bigoted Hindu leadership has never accepted Pakistan’s creation, relying on its ‘Akhand Bharat’ agenda and actively working against Pakistan’s security since 1947. The fall of Dhaka in December 1971 resulted from this Indian conspiracy, with the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi claiming they had drowned the two-nation theory in the Bay of Bengal. Pakistan remains the biggest obstacle in the fulfilment of the nefarious agenda of a united India. During the recent election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself kept revealing his conspiracies to undermine Pakistan’s security and launched fake operations to blame terrorism on Pakistan. India is the mastermind and sanctuary of terrorists, with RAW establishing a network of terrorism in Pakistan, Canada, and the USA. Recently, the United States detained a RAW terrorist involved in a conspiracy to assassinate Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, an American citizen.
In this context, it is also necessary to make efforts to increase the country’s defence and war capabilities because war-obsessed India has now become the owner of more nuclear weapons than Pakistan. According to the report of Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the number of nuclear weapons of India has reached 172 with a five percent increase. In 2023, the number of these warheads was 164, while during this period, Pakistan did not increase the number of its warheads, the number of Pakistani warheads is 170. Sapri’s data on the number of nuclear weapons is based on publicly available information. It includes information from official sources (official white papers, parliamentary and congressional publications and official statements) as well as secondary sources (news media reports and journals, trade journals).
Modi government has offered foreign arms manufacturing companies to invest in India and for this India is ready to give full ownership to foreign companies. In the current situation, foreign companies are allowed to invest only 26% in India’s defence projects and they are not bound to transfer technology, while according to an Indian official, foreign companies are willing to give technology on 74% shares. The Modi government is engaged in planning to attack Pakistan’s independence, sovereignty and security by arming India with all types of modern and conventional weapons and war equipment, from which its ambitions can be clearly gauged. Let India know that the protectors of Pakistan are brave and zealous Pakistani forces.
