Know Your Pakistan.
Pakistan was created for Muslims of India who wanted a pure Islamic country for themselves. The premise of Pakistan, the reason for existence of Pakistan is that Muslims of India did not want any Hindus or Hindu influences and cheerfully voted for splitting India into Islamic and non Islamic parts. The slogan for Pakistan was “Pakistan ka matlab kya? La illaha ill allah” meaning “What is the meaning of Pakistan.
