Celebrating Independence Day in Pakistan
By Justice Katju
Tomorrow, 14th August, will be celebrated as Independence Day in Pakistan, and preparations for that have already begun.

In my opinion 14th August should not be celebrated by Pakistanis like an Eid, but mourned like a Moharram
This is because there was no genuine Independence on that day, but instead a colossal, monstrous hoax, swindle, bamboozlement, rip-off, and trickery was done by our British rulers, who pulled a fast one on us, and hoodwinked us. So I appeal to Indians and Pakistanis not to behave like buffoons, and not to celebrate Independence Day on 15th and 14th August..
Let me explain.
Firstly, real independence is freedom from poverty, unemployment, hunger, skyrocketing prices of essential commodities, lack of healthcare and good education, oppression of minorities, etc Without these freedoms, the formal civil rights e.g. liberty, freedom of speech and expression, equality, freedom of religion, etc are illusory and meaningless. Does a poor, unemployed or hungry man want freedom of speech and liberty, or food and a job ?
This was realised by former US President Franklin Roosevelt who gave a famous speech on 11th January 1944 in his State of the Union Address called ‘The Second Bill of Rights’. In this speech he said that the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution which guaranteed liberty, freedom of speech, equality, freedom of religion, etc had clearly proved inadequate. Now the need was for a Second Bill of Rights which guaranteed to all Americans the socio-economic rights, e.g. employment with a decent income, healthcare, housing, nutritious food, etc
Have poverty, unemployment, hunger, price rise, lack of proper healthcare and good education, oppression of minorities, etc been abolished in Pakistan ? The answer is a categorical no. In fact even today there is massive poverty, massive unemployment, skyrocketing prices of essential commodities like food, fuel, and medicines, appalling level of child malnutrition, oppression of minorities, etc
So where is the ‘Independence’ which will be celebrated tomorrow ?

Secondly, the truth is that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are really one nation, sharing the same culture, which were one for over 500 years from the time of the great Mughal Emperor Akbar. Partition of India in 1947 on the basis of the bogus two nation theory ( that Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations ) was a colossal, monstrous British fraud, ruse and deceit, which resulted in about half a million brutal murders and millions being uprooted from their homes, and its effects are felt even now.
Partition of India was in my opinion the greatest tragedy of our nation ( I regard India, Pakistan and Bangladesh as really one nation, only temporarily divided ) in its 5000 year old known history.
The whole purpose of Partition was to keep Hindus and Muslims regarding each other as enemies, and fighting, or at least hostile to each other. This would keep the people in the subcontinent weak, and prevent united India from emerging as a modern industrial giant, like another China, though it has all the potential for becoming one, with its huge pool of technical talent and immense natural resources.

Partition and Indo-Pak hostility would also ensure that foreign arms manufacturers would continue having high sales of their weapons in the Indian subcontinent, at high prices.
Since we are really one nation, only artificially divided by a British fraud in 1947, we are bound to reunite one day, though that will take time, since those who divided us will oppose our reunification tooth and nail, for the reason given below :

Independence Day should only be celebrated when India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are reunited after launching a mighty united people’s struggle, led by patriotic, modern minded leaders determined to create a new political and social order under which all our people, not just a handful, enjoy a high standard of living and lead decent lives.

So Pakistanis, open your eyes to the truth, and dont behave like morons, nincompoops, numbskulls, dolts, blockheads and jackasses by celebrating tomorrow. Rather, you should mourn tomorrow
