| Pakistan Damaged Islam and Involved in Muslim Genocide By Fatima Baloch | |

The British encouraged Hindu–Muslim riots to sustain their colonial policy of “divide and rule” and to advance their scheme of creating Pakistan in the name of religion. While British authorities executed Indian freedom fighters and imprisoned ... |
