Why Was Pakistan Created? PM Modi's Blunt Take Ignites a Firestorm

The idea that Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations was not born in the hearts of the people. It was injected — forcefully, surgically, and fatally — into the psyche of Indian Muslims by the British colonial agenda and the opportunistic politics of the Muslim League. The so-called “Two-Nation Theory” was neither spiritual nor democratic; it was a tool of division wielded by those who were too weak to imagine coexistence and too ambitious to resist imperialist manipulation.

Jinnah, once a staunch advocate for Hindu-Muslim unity, allowed himself to be molded into a separatist leader, demanding a homeland for Muslims. But the Pakistan that was created in 1947 did not become a paradise for Muslims. It became a prison for minorities, a playground for dictators, and eventually, a breeding ground for global jihadism.

The bitter irony? The majority of Indian Muslims chose to remain in India — a secular democracy — rejecting the very premise on which Pakistan was founded.


The creation of Pakistan came at the cost of one of the most horrific human tragedies in modern history. Over a million people were butchered in cold blood. Trains full of mutilated corpses crossed newly drawn borders. Women were raped, children were burned alive, and communities that had coexisted for centuries turned into mobs of vengeful strangers.

Was this carnage the price of freedom or the failure of vision?

Pakistan was not born out of strength. It was carved out of fear — the fear of being a minority in a Hindu-majority India. Instead of trusting in the democratic process, the leaders of the Muslim League opted for ethnic segregation — a choice that continues to haunt the region. Pakistan's very creation was a betrayal — not just of India, but of Islam itself. It turned a spiritual identity into a political weapon and used religion as a border marker.


PM Modi’s blunt words reflect a reality India has long chosen to downplay. Pakistan was not just created as a homeland for Muslims — it was created in direct rejection of the idea of India. India represented pluralism, syncretism, and cohabitation. Pakistan, in contrast, was founded on a homogenizing impulse — a nation that claimed to protect Muslims by excluding everyone else.

And what has this rejection achieved?

Seventy-seven years later, Pakistan remains an unstable, economically wrecked, socially fractured, and internationally isolated nation. Its minorities — Hindus, Christians, Ahmadis, Shias, and even some Sunni sects — live in fear, if at all. Blasphemy laws are used as tools of vengeance. Journalists are silenced. Women are second-class citizens. And all the while, the military feeds the illusion of strategic depth by manufacturing threats against India.

Pakistan has become a national security state addicted to terrorism — a state whose only export is instability.


When PM Modi told Pakistan to “live a life of peace, eat bread… or face bullets,” he wasn’t merely issuing a warning. He was delivering a verdict — a moral and historical verdict on a failed idea. His statement exposes the hypocrisy of a nation that cannot feed its people but finds funds to finance terror. A nation that was supposed to be a safe haven for Muslims but has now become a danger to the very faith it claims to protect.

What Modi did, and what many leaders before him failed to do, was call out the root cause: Pakistan’s existential insecurity.

This is not just about diplomacy. This is about identity. Pakistan’s military and political elite cannot imagine an identity that is not anti-India. To question this would be to question their own existence. The moment Pakistan decides to let go of its enmity with India, it would have to reconcile with the hollowness of its foundation.

For years, Western powers treated Pakistan as an ally — first against Soviet communism, then as a partner in the War on Terror. Billions of dollars flowed into Pakistani military coffers. And what did the world get in return? Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan, and a trail of terror plots from London to New York with fingerprints leading back to Pakistan.

PM Modi’s words serve as a reminder to the international community: as long as you keep rewarding a terror state, you will keep reaping terror.

It is time to stop appeasing Pakistan’s lies. Time to stop romanticizing its poets and nuclear fireworks while ignoring the screams of its minorities. Time to recognize that a state built on hatred cannot deliver peace — not to its people, and certainly not to its neighbors.

Pakistan’s creation was not a historical necessity — it was a political error and a civilizational tragedy. PM Modi has merely said aloud what many in India, and indeed the world, have whispered for years: that the time for political correctness is over. The truth must be faced, not just for India’s security, but for the soul of South Asia.

If Pakistan truly wants peace, let it start by dismantling the infrastructure of jihad. Let it apologize to its own minorities. Let it teach its children that coexistence is nobler than conquest. Until then, India must speak with the language that Pakistan understands best: strength.

“Eat bread, or face bullets.”
It’s more than a soundbite.
It’s a doctrine — of clarity, of resolve, and of national self-respect.
