1) When in 1857, #MughalEmpire breathed its last, power transitioned from the Muslims to the #BritishRaj, they were humiliated by the Raj, #Hindus were quick in adapting to the methods of their new masters, where as demoralized and humiliated Muslim nation without power
2) for the first time in centuries, were not so quick in adapting to the changing circumstances, instead of introspecting their own failure's, they were quick to blame everything on religion, on Islam. Argument was put forward that ALLAH has inflicted his anger
3) and displeasure over the Muslims because they didn't followed the teachings of Islam, they left the path of Almighty (I am not going in the exact details, that would require a whole thread), 8 years after the rebellion against the British, in 1866 Dar-ul-Uloom #Deoband
سعد خٹک صاحب نے عام آدمی پارٹی کا اعلان کردیا ! اب دودھ اور شہد کی نہریں بہنا شروع ہو جائینگی ۔ کسی کو یاد ہے کہ مرزا اسلم بیگ نے بھی ریٹائر ہونے کے بعد ایک جماعت Friends کا اعلان کیا تھا وہ کیا ہوئی ؟

پاکستان بنانے والے سارے کے سارے حضرات جاگیردار و بالادست اشرافیہ کے نمائندے تھے سردار ، ملک خوانین چوہدری وڈیرے ، مزاروں اور قبروں کے متولی تھے سجادہ نشین تھے اور یہی لوگ انگریزوں کے حلف یافتہ بھی تھے اور اسی طبقے نے روس کیخلاف امریکی جہاد بھی لڑا ۔ سعد بیٹے آنکھیں کھول لو
سعد خٹک صاحب سمجھ رہے ہیں کہ سیاست میں لیڈرشپ کرانا ایسا ہی ہے جیسے کاکول اور اسٹاف کالج کوئٹہ کے میس میں تالی بجا کر ناشتہ یا کھانا منگانا ہے جبکہ سیاست ایک ارتقائی عمل ہے کالج ، یونیورسٹی سے لیڈرشپ کا ارتقاء ہوتا ہے ورنہ جس زبردستی کے نتیجے میں پی ٹی آئی جیسی شے سرزد ہوتی ہے
پاکستانی اکثر یہ کہتے پائے جاتے ہیں کہ انہوں نے انگریزوں کیخلاف جنگ آزادی لڑی اور قربانیاں دیں جبکہ دوقومی نظریے اور نظریۂ پاکستان کے بانی سرسید احمد خان نے انگریزوں سے مسلمانوں کی وفاداری پر ۳ جلدوں میں یہ کتاب لکھی

اہلحدیثوں کے شیخ الکل میاں نذیر حسین محدث دہلوی تو ملکہ وکٹوریہ سے وفاداری کا حلف اٹھائے ہوئے تھے (بحوالہ : الحیات بعد الممات) اور ۱۹۱۱ میں تمام فرقوں کے مولوی بمع دیوبند ، شبلی نعمانی اور اہلحدیث مولوی محمد حسین بٹالوی نے تاج برطانیہ کے لیئے اللہ میاں سے دعا مانگی اور سرسید 😂👇
اگر اوپر دیئے حوالے سے تسلی و تشفی نہیں ہورہی ہو تو ضیاء الدین لاہوری صاحب کی تحقیقی تصنیف “ ۱۸۵۷ کے چند اہم کردار “ کا مطالعہ فرمائیں تاکہ طبیعت بالکل صاف ہوجائے

"Hitler fought against Britain in the second world war. So because he was fighting the British who at that time were ruling over India, we have come to the conclusion that he was pro-India."

Let's discuss point by point. How many of u learned of the detailed account of how much was looted during #BritishRaj ? Look how #Hindus were made to suffer. From a surplus country with all the riches in the world to the daily average per capita income of 5pices/2 1/2 cents...1/n

#ConversionMafia propagates, "if British didn't rule India, then there's no India at all." #SleepingHindus fall for such false information and become an easy prey, as they don't know what actually happened.
If the levied tax on land is 65% more than the produce, how

Our #Hindu rulers used to provide almost free education to all the people in their Kingdoms. Look at how much #Britishers spent on Indians education. They never cared about our sanitation, but all they cared was our army, spent whooping 330 millions

Mangal Pandey.
Born in 1827, the first #soldier to inspire young #Indian soldiers for the great struggle of 1857. Serving as a soldier for the British, Pandey launched the first attack by firing at English officials, which was the beginning of the Indian rebellion of 1857

Rani Lakshmibai.

Engineering a City #thread
Having spent my entire childhood in #Kochi (#Cochin ), it feels criminal to not know the story of how the city came to be the #metropolis it is today. Putting together a thread to trace the journey of the city which has been so endearingly mine (1)

The story of Cochin is not just about how an engineering marvel can change social fabric, but also of many tenets of #British #Colonialism in India which is often taken for granted, passed off lazily as exploitation, missing nuance (2)
