If your refering to yourself, dont you have to go report back to sixpak about me?
As for why i posted these pics, ill tell you why.
The event's surrounding partition, no longer affect pakistanis. It's something in the past. However, those same events are still evident inside India today that affects Muslims there. Gujarat of 2002 is a prime example of this. In fact, Because Hyderabad is a Muslim-majority city, Muslim's from other parts of India, such as Gujarat, and even Bombay who fled anti-Muslim riots, fled straight to Hyderabad, because it is a Muslim city. What you have is a mini-pakistan inside India. This modern-day events are no different than what occured 60 years ago during partition.
Pakistan was created as a seperate homeland for Muslim's, on these grounds, that Hindus and Muslims are two seperate nations, two seperate cultures, two seperate faiths. two seperate histories etc. In fact, the Muslim political parties have picked up in India, where the Muslim League of Jinnah and Liqaut Ali Khan left off. Remember, aside from Jinnah, the main leaders of the Pakistan movement were in fact Muslims who hailed from India, especially Lucknow, not the regions of modern-day pakistan today. Because there are no Hindus left in Pak, because there is no Hindu domination over Muslims in Pak, Paki's have turned on each other instead, by dividing themselves along ethnic, sectarian and fedualistic lines. Its something i find horrendous. Because when those Hindus were going on a rampage in Gujarat, they didnt spare anyone. They didnt care who was sunni or who was shia, they killed everyone.
There is a famous line from the movie Gladiator i always liked. Maximus says "There was a dream once Rome, those were the wishes of the true emperor". I believe that was a dream called Pakistan, and those were the wishes of the Muslim League who have preserved Muslim culture, and inherited the glory of the Mughal empire.

I have been harrassed and insulted on here on a daily basis. i have had biased mod's doing thier internet freinds favors by hunting me left and right. Your people came to me, i didnt go to them, they acted all nice, all friendly, then turned on me in a blink of an eye. Inviting me into late night chat rooms so i could be insulted and harrassed, abusing me on these posts, organizing witch-hunts of me on top of it all. You people think im stupid, you dont think i dont know what your doing. I get harrassed and insulted on these posts, because these idoits think they can get me hyped up, angry and then ill write something that they can report. and I know what is going on, not that dumb.
