Chronology of modern Indians:
- ~ 300,000 years: Age of the earliest remains of a Homo sapiens, ever found – in a cave in Jebel Irhoud, about fifty km from the city of Safi in Morocco.

~ 70,000 years ago: Earliest successful Out of Africa
(OoA) migration happened around this time. Likely to have taken the Southern Route from modern-day Eritrea and Djibouti into Asia through Bab el Mandeb at the southern tip of the Red Sea.

It is incorrect to state that Sir Syed did not acknowledge backwardness of Hindus of North-Western Provinces. In fact he several times accepted that they were more backward than Muslims.
In 1864 he wrote to Secretary to the Government North-Western Provinces stating that (cotd)
their province was behind Presidencies in diffusing the light of knowledge to occupants (Yusuf Husain p. 51). His speech, given on 20th September 1867, talked about education of all Indians, chiding both Hindus and Muslims for not being able to emulate the lofty achievements...

If India gets their own fabrication facility Pakistan is toast. Better economy, better weapons means they will follow their imperialist goals with even more success. Will quickly increase exports to our other neighbours, isolating us.
The illustration may not itself be Islamophobic, but the insistence that Muslim students should just shut up & see the pictures is inconsiderate & bigoted though shouldnt be cause for firing. As a former university lecturer I think teachers should make things easier for students
...and not insist on pigheadedness. Ideas should be discussed, students' minds should be opened but this approach is inimical to that.
As far as as cultural Islam is concerned, is it meaningless to assert its authority. Muslims do a lot of stuff. So? Islam is not Hinduism.

Those who believe gender identity in children is just like being left or right handed should see these statistics: 1. Follow-up studies from childhood to adolescence indicates that childhood gender dysphoria will recede with puberty in ~80% of cases. 2. 84.2% in another study.
3. 61% no longer had gender dysphoria in another study. 4. 87.8% in a 2021 study.

India is screwed because even historians such as Romila Thapar absolve Hindutva. Before the British cemented their footing all over India, the Maharashtra Hindus had decided to use the symbol of Shivaji to exclude Muslims from their polity and wreak violence.
British origins clearly means the problem wasnt Indian origin and those who used it were acting in British interests. So why complain against Hindutva when they malign Muslims?
The British,sometimes, used divide and rule after 1857, sure. But they didnt create the divide.

Countless times it has been suggested that Pakistan's official date of celebration of independence was fixed as 14th August by a cabinet meeting on 29th June 1948. Later Jinnah affirmed it too.
No such record exists in Quaid-i-Azam papers or Governor-General Papers.
What we do know is that Jinnah's message to the nation came out on 14/8/48. Colonel Ilahi Bakhsh also reports Jinnah said 'Go and celebrate...' on morning of 14/8/48. But stamps of 15th August also exist, so somewhere this decision was definitely taken. But when, we dont know.
