Shoaib Akhtar endorses two-nation principle as Harbhajan says ‘we’re one’

Shoaib Akhtar in a chat present on Aaj Tak with Harbhajan Singh forward of the India versus Pakistan T20 World Cup match on Sunday mentioned that he believes within the two-nation principle that claims Muslims kind a separate nation. The two-nation principle was the idea of the creation of Pakistan.
The dialogue on the matter started after Harbhajan Singh mentioned that the connection between cricketers from the 2 nations are hindered when gamers insult India, hinting at Pakistani gamers who’ve made obnoxious feedback about India previously.

“The problem begins when in any issue, a cricketer insults India, our flag. Then we have a problem. We know how much love there is between us but our people get angry with our friendship only when some senseless person makes some remark such as ‘Kashmir is ours’. Bhai, leave it to people responsible for these decisions. Our stature is not so great that we should delve into such matters,” Harbhajan Singh mentioned.
While Harbhajan Singh appeared unwilling to take any names, the anchor identified that Shahid Afridi had made many such remarks. “One person says such then everyone suffers,” Singh added. He additionally mentioned that individuals have informed him to cease speaking with Shoaib Akhtar as a result of Akhtar is from Pakistan. And Singh mentioned that it was authentic for folks to say that when Pakistanis insult India and the Indian flag.
Harbhajan Singh proceeded to say, “We are one. If you look at history, Indians and Pakistanis, we look the same. And why do we have so much hatred? Because we started playing against each other or because we make inappropriate remarks about each other? Why is that?”
Shoaib Akhtar mentioned in response, “I will not go deep into it. From the two-nation theory until now, there is a long history. We believe in the two-nation theory, I believe in it. We have an ideology. Ie we start talking about it, then it will go very far.”
What The Two Nation Theory, endorsed by Shoaib Akhtar, says
The two nation principle was first promulgated by Syed Ahmad Khan, the founding father of the Aligarh Muslim University. The principle asserts that Muslims and Hindus kind two separate nations who can not coexist peacefully in a single nation.
Syed Ahmad Khan mentioned in 1876, “I am convinced now that Hindus and Muslims could never become one nation as their religion and way of life was quite distinct from each other.” Seven years later, he voiced related sentiments. He mentioned, “Friends, in India, there live two prominent nations which are distinguished by the names of Hindus and Mussalmans…To be a Hindu or a Muslim is a matter of internal faith which has nothing to do with mutual relationships and external conditions…Hence, leave God’s share to God and concern yourself with the share that is yours…India is the home of both of us…By living so long in India, the blood of both have [sic] changed.”
Twelve years later, he acknowledged, “Now, suppose that the English community and the army were to leave India, taking with them all their cannons and their splendid weapons and all else, who then would be the rulers of India?… Is it possible that under these circumstances two nations—the Mohammedans and the Hindus—could sit on the same throne and remain equal in power? Most certainly not. It is necessary that one of them should conquer the other. To hope that both could remain equal is to desire the impossible and the inconceivable. But until one nation has conquered the other and made it obedient, peace cannot reign in the land.”
Poet Muhammad Iqbal took ahead Syed Ahmed Khan’s concept and advocated for the creation of Pakistan as nicely. He mentioned, “India is a continent of human beings belonging to different languages and professing different religions…I, therefore, demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim state in the best interests of the Muslims of India and Islam.”
The ideology in the end led to the formation of Pakistan and the genocide of Hindus that adopted.
