Justice Markandey Katju recounts a recent disagreement with Ras Siddiqui, a Pakistani-origin friend living in the USA. The conflict began after Katju published an article criticizing Benazir Bhutto, calling her a “big crook,” which Siddiqui opposed. Katju, in response, expressed his belief that Pakistan is an artificial entity, created by British colonialists to foster division between Hindus and Muslims, and that lasting harmony between India and Pakistan is impossible. He argues that the creation of Pakistan aimed to prevent India from becoming a modern industrial power. Katju shared his views in various articles, but Siddiqui has yet to reply.
