The talk of keeping India united is nonsense. Our culture, religion, customs, lifestyle, traditions, marriage, everything is different from the Indian majority. Therefore, it is appropriate to create a new nation Pakistan by merging Punjab, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Sindh and Balochistan. This was the essence of the booklet published by the name Now and Never, the creator of which was Chaudhary Rahmat Ali.
In those days he was studying law at Cambridge University. This incident is from 1933. It is also remembered by the name of Declaration of Pakistan. In this way, the credit for inventing the word Pakistan goes to Ali only.
How was the foundation of Pakistan laid?
Chaudhary Rahmat Ali was born on 16 November 1897 in Balachaur, Punjab region of British India, which is now part of Pakistan. Around the year 1930, the idea of creating a separate Muslim country in South Asia came to Ali's mind. At that time Hindu-Muslim enmity had started in British India.
First Ali put forward this idea among his friends. Then in 1933, during the third Round Table Conference in London, an attempt was made to present it before the British and Indian representatives. With this he started the Pakistan National Movement. Within no time this movement went ahead and then Muslim League raised its flag and it was accepted that the demand for Pakistan was started by Mohammad Ali Jinnah. He is considered and called the founder of Pakistan. But the creator of the word Pakistan was Chaudhary Rahmat Ali, who was later expelled by Pakistan and breathed his last in Britain.
This happened because his vision about Pakistan was not fulfilled after Jinnah's decision. Therefore, he opened a front against Jinnah. Due to his rebellious attitude the government expelled him from the country.
How did the Hindu-Muslim dispute start in India?
Ali was a supporter of Allama Iqbal's Separate Muslim Nation Theory. Ali later also brought out a weekly magazine named Pakistan. He did not stop here, he also got a new map of Pakistan printed, in which three Muslim countries were included within India. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Southern Osmanistan. Bangistan meant today's Bangladesh and Southern Osmanistan meant the area of Nizam Hyderabad.
In fact, Hindu-Muslim disputes in India started with the partition of Bengal in the year 1905. The Muslim majority area was called East Bengal and the Hindu majority area was called West Bengal. The riot that started from there neither stopped then nor has stopped today. Despite the formation of Pakistan and Bangladesh, there is still a large number of Hindus and Muslims in the country. Because even then this issue was dear to the hearts of politicians and even today this issue is close to their minds.
After this, Muslim League was established in the year 1906 and then there were loud talks about Muslim interests. When people like Ali and Allama Iqbal were advocating a separate nation, Jinnah did not even come forward in this matter. Muslim League was not established to demand a separate country but to talk about Muslim interests. It was about raising their rights.
Wrote a letter for the Muslim nation
In the elections held in 1937, the Muslim League lost most of the seats. Then a frustrated Iqbal wrote a letter to Jinnah and stressed that the matter would not work without a separate Muslim nation. He wrote – Without an independent Muslim nation, adherence and development of Islamic Shariat is not possible in this country. If this does not happen then a civil war like situation may arise in the country. Don't you think that the time has now come to raise this demand? Jinnah was in England then.
When Pakistan was formed on 14 August 1947, the same Rahmat Ali was nowhere on the scene. He was in England only. There was no one to ask him. His dream of Pakistan was being fulfilled but among those who saw it, the name was not of Ali but of people like Allama Iqbal, Jinnah. Despite the formation of Pakistan, Ali was upset as to why Jinnah approved the partition of Pakistan. In this way, Ali, who gave birth to the name Pakistan, was forgotten by his own country and his own people.
