I saw 2 posts on the website indicanews.com regarding the recent meeting in Stanford University on Indo-Pak relations

The speakers waxed eloquent on improving Indo-Pak ties, but in my opinion they missed the central point, viz why India was partitioned in 1947 and why Pakistan was created as an Islamic state ? Let me explain.
The partition of India was a British swindle on the basis of the bogus 2 nation theory ( that Hindus and Muslims are 2 separate nations who can never live peacefully together ) was to keep Hindus and Muslims fighting each other even after the British withdrew from India, so that we remain weak, and united India does not emerge as a modern industrial giant, like another China ( for which it has all the potential ), and not become a big rival to Western industries with our cheap labour, thus forcing many Western industries to close down, as they will not be able to face the Indian competition, throwing millions of Western workers out of employment. This has been explained in detail in the articles below :

There can never be genuine friendship and good relations between India and Pakistan, because the very purpose of creating Pakistan was to ensure that there is hostility between India and Pakistan, not peace and friendship. If there is genuine friendship then the very purpose of creating Pakistan will be defeated and it will cease to exist as a separate state and will reunite with India. In fact India and Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are really one country, sharing the same culture, and were one since
Mughal times.
We were one for 500 years since the time of the great Mughal Emperor Akbar, whom I call the real Father of the Indian subcontinent, not Gandhi and Jinnah, who were really British agents
What is Pakistan ? It is Punjab, Sind, Balochistan and KP. These were all part of India since the time of Moghul Emperor Akbar.
Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis living abroad socialise and intermingle as if no Partition ever took place,
Partition in 1947 was a British swindle, based on the bogus two nation theory, using Gandhi and Jinnah as their main agents. It was the biggest tragedy of India in our 5000 year old known history.
It is high time Indians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis know the truth. Unless we reunite we will never be able transform our subcontinent into a modern industrial giant ( for which we have all the potential with our huge pool of bright engineers, scientists and immense natural resources ), which transformation alone can abolish the curses which have plagued us for centuries–massive poverty, massive unemployment, appalling level of child malnutrition ( every second child in our subcontinent is malnourished, according to Global Hunger Index ), almost total lack of proper healthcare and good education for our masses, etc but will waste our precious resources in hostility with each other.
In view of what has been stated above, it is obvious that what former Indian Minister Mani Shankar Iyer and other speakers said in Stanford University was a lot of malarkey, twaddle, bunkum, claptrap, baloney, hocus pocus, moonshine, fiddlesticks, fatuity, rigmarole, and empty gas
