B.R.Ambedkar had prepared a detailed scheme for the migration of
population of Hindus and Muslims from Pakistan and India on the
analogy of such migration of Muslim and Christian population held
between Turkey and Greece, which is written in his famous book
"Thoughts on Pakistan". According to him, it was a natural
corollary of partition of India on the basis of two nation theory to
have Hindus and Muslims settled in separate countries. But the then
leadership of India, particularly Gandhiji and Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru
were not prepared to implement the same. At that time that was not a
difficult task, because the number of Hindus left in Pakistan and
Muslims in divided India was almost equal. Two and half crore Hindus
were left in Pakistan, while the same number of muslims was left in
the partitioned India.
In such circumstances and conditions it was appropriate and essential for both the nation-states to mutually decide to provide similar treatment to the Hindu and muslim minorities left in Pakistan and India. But such a reasonable and practical step was not taken. Had the rulers of Pakistan been told clearly that the muslim minorities in India would be mated out with the same treatment which would be mated out with Hindus in Pakistan, most probably their behaviour and attitude would have been different from what it was. Thus the minorities in both the countries would have received equal relief. But unfortunately that was not done. During the last 43 years, Pakistan
sought of the Hindus minorities problem in that country by resorting
to forcible conversion their exodus from Pakistan. In 1947, Hindu
population in Pakistan was 23%. Now Hindu population in Pakistan is
not even 1%. The same position prevailed in the East Pakistan, now
called Bangla Desh. Her Hindu population consisting of Vaishnavas,
Buddhists etc, was about 33%, which has since been reduced to less
than 10%, and the remaining Hindus are also counting their days of
stay in that country. How unfortunate has been the plight of Hindus
in Pakistan & Bangla Desh! |
