Some writers of this article may not be aware, but during the Indian Independence Movement, Pakistan chose to separate while Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru begged the nation to not. Pakistan chose to separate over the difference of religion, while India wanted Pakistan to not secede. This article does not include one sentence about Pakistan's choice. What a horrible article!

::Penguin Books India ''unreliable''? May I also see the decree declaring this as such? And about other sources, here are the relevant quotes and my comments:
:::'''Citation 5''' tagged as ''"not in citation given"'':''"...For India, the state--now divided by a "line of control"--is fully a part of the Indian union; with its 65-percent Muslim population, it stands as a symbolic rebuttal to the "two nation" theory that underlay the founding of Pakistan. Moreover, India asserts that Kashmir's inclusion in India serves as a guarantor of the secular state...."''
:::'''Citation 7''' tagged as ''"not in citation given"'':''"...I stated categorically that Indians accepted the right of Pakistan to be a sovereign, independent state; what we did not, nor ever would accept, was the two-nation theory of Muslims being a nation apart from Hindus and Sikhs .... Pakistani delegates began to heckle me. 'If you don't accept the two-nation theory, you don't accept Pakistan'..."'' by a journalist/former member India's upper house [[Khushwant Singh]].
:::'''Citation 8''' tagged as ''"unreliable source?"'': It is a reliable source published jointly by Promilla (an academic publisher) and [[Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses|IDSA]].
:::'''Citation 9''' tagged as ''"not in citation given"'':''"...With the emergence of Pakistan, the ideological issues should have come to an end. But that was not so. The Congress accepted the partition because this was unavoidable, but it did not accept the 'two-nation theory'...."''
:::'''Citation 10''' tagged as ''"not in citation given"'':''"...India's stand may be summed up with the words of Nehru, "...we have never accepted, even when partition came to India, the two-nation theory, that is that the Hindus are one nation and the Muslims are another.... I say we cannot accept that..."..."''
:::'''Citation 11''' tagged as ''"not in citation given"'':''"...Due to India's reticence to accept the two-nation theory, Pakistan has always perceived India as a threat to its very existence as an independent nation state..."''

: "Two Nation Theory" is the thesis that Hindus and Muslims form separate nations. Indians, by and large, don't believe that. That doesn't automatically make them anti-Pakistan. The Congress party did accept the formation of the Pakistan, quite independently of their ideological opposition to the Two Nation Theory. So, this is a non-sequitur.
: This article is quite a joke. If US is the country with the maximum "anti-Pakistan sentiment," how come it is not discussed? Why is India, with a mid-range "anti-Pakistan sentiment," at the top? Frankly, I believe the editors of this article are just displaying their own anti-India sentiment. [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 20:48, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

I am removing the Sikhism section, which was as given below. The narrative describes the events of March 1947, when Pakistan had not even come into being. So it is silly to call it "Anti-Pakistan sentiment". Moreover, ''their government'' was brought down by the Muslim Leage through six months of non-stop agitation, campaigning and calls to violence. No doubt the Sikhs were opposed to the creation of Pakistan, but that was on legitimate grouds since their own homeland would get divided. Finally, both the sides equally engaged in Murdabad slogans in the run up to the partition [https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=eGCAAAAAIAAJ&q=congress+murdabad&dq=congress+murdabad&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi6vdO28c_9AhVfgf0HHZ3kAKU4ChDoAXoECAgQAg][https://archive.org/details/HindSwaraj-Nehru-SW-08/page/n235/mode/2up?q=%22Congress+murdabad%22&view=theater]. It doesn't make sense to call it "anti-X sentiment".
:{{u|Excipient0}}, don't do same things again, this has been reverted by many editors till now. Don't keep on deleting that matter. We are writing anti-Pakistan sentiment in India, so we have to write what India thinks about Pakistan.

But it was explicable because the League's attitude during its agitation against the Khizar coalition was one of arrogance towards the minorities and it had never given them any indication of what Pakistan meant or what it might offer them in return for support. The League, as Jenkins pointed out, had also set a foreboding precedent by overthrowing a popular ministry by force, and, after the announcement of 20 February, had made every suggestion that it would capture the Punjab by any means. On 4 March Hindu and Sikh students took out a procession through the main part of Lahore shouting "''Pakistan Murdabad''", "''Jinnah Murdabad''" and according to ''Dawn'' "''Allaho-Akbar Murdabad''". Rioting broke out in Lahore and Multan, and Khizar resigned as caretaker Prime Minister, chiefly because his ministry could not control the situation.</ref>

So it is silly to call it "Anti-Pakistan sentiment". Moreover, their government was brought down by the Muslim Leage through six months of non-stop agitation, campaigning and calls to violence. No doubt the Sikhs were opposed to the creation of Pakistan, but that was on legitimate grouds since their own homeland would get divided. Finally, both the sides equally engaged in Murdabad slogans in the run up to the partition [2][3]. It doesn't make sense to call it "anti-X sentiment".

I also notice misinformation to the effect that "the administration of Punjab was taken over by Muslim League". It wasn't. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sikhism

The slogan "Death to Pakistan" (Pakistan Murdabad) was raised by Sikh leader Master Tara Singh in March 1947, soon after the Unionist Party cabinet of Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana resigned in the Punjab, and immediately after it was announced that the Muslim League would take over the reins of provincial government.[1][2][3] The resignation of the Khizar Tiwana government, composed of Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs, followed the unrest caused by the call for the Direct Action Day by the Muslim League the previous year.[1][4]

According to historian Stanley Wolpert in A New History of India,[2] when the administration of Punjab was taken over by Muslim League, "Master Tara Singh, prominent Sikh political and religious leader in the first half of the 20th century, called for direct action by his khalsa against the League at this time, igniting the powder keg of repressed violence that set the Punjab ablaze with his cry of "Pakistan Murdabad" ("Death to Pakistan"). Tara Singh and his followers were demanding a Sikh nation of their own, Khalistan, and by demonstrating their willingness to die in defence of their homeland, they sought to prove the validity of their claim."[2] This slogan often was followed by religious fights and conflicts.[5][6][7]

But it was explicable because the League's attitude during its agitation against the Khizar coalition was one of arrogance towards the minorities and it had never given them any indication of what Pakistan meant or what it might offer them in return for support. The League, as Jenkins pointed out, had also set a foreboding precedent by overthrowing a popular ministry by force, and, after the announcement of 20 February, had made every suggestion that it would capture the Punjab by any means. On 4 March Hindu and Sikh students took out a procession through the main part of Lahore shouting "Pakistan Murdabad", "Jinnah Murdabad" and according to Dawn "Allaho-Akbar Murdabad". Rioting broke out in Lahore and Multan, and Khizar resigned as caretaker Prime Minister, chiefly because his ministry could not control the situation.
