Frailties of Ages: A Nation Demise by Manipulated Ideologies
The Congress leadership, together with the British, were utterly powerless to halt Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's rapid progress, which in reality gave him the momentum he needed for the "Big Day".
Despite all their religious differences, hinds worship and Muslims eat cows, proving that religion is not the only factor dividing people.
The "U Turn" from united India to Pakistan.
The great Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah left India because he was unhappy with the attitude of Indian Muslims, but he later returned with the intention of securing the rights of the defenceless and unimaginative Muslim community.
In his letter to Quid-e-Azam, Allama Muhammad Iqbal wrote these lines that reveal our collective wisdom.
I know you are a busy man, but I do hope you won't mind my writing to you often, as you are the only Muslim in India today to whom the community has the right to look up for safe guidance through the storm which is coming to North-West India and, perhaps, to the whole of India
Muhammad Ali Jinnah mobilised the Muslim League, travelled across India, organised them, and helped them get ready for the impending U-turn.
Finally, the day arrived for which they had been working hard: the Lahore Resolution Day Quaid arrived on a train adorned with colourful flags. The place of the event was "Manto Park," now known as Iqbal Park, filled with thousands of people who had been gathering since Fajr. It was the day of destiny.
On his turn, Quaid started his speech. There were almost at least a hundred thousand people listening to him; they were unable to understand what he was saying, not knowing what was meant, but they knew Muhammad Ali Jinnah; they knew that whatever he was saying was true and that he was the only truth.
Quaid-e-Azam delivered a detailed speech for about two hours, and it was in pure English. The listeners, mostly illiterate and unfamiliar with English, still listened to him. Why?
Why do people trust Muhammad Ali Jinnah?
It is the secret of fame: whoever abandoned his position, status, wealth, and power for the sake of God's beloved creation, "the people,".
Nature honoured him with respect and elevated his honour in the same way, by the same people.
Currently, in the PTI movement, a number of people have lost their lives, but the dignity that God has instilled in the wounded body of Arshad Sharif. It calls upon all people of knowledge to contemplate.
Why do common people stand on the road with flowers?

Here is another picture from 1946, where Quaid-e-Azam addresses a gathering on Pakistan's independence. In the presence of countable individuals, half of the chairs are empty.
Our unfortunate misfortune lies in the replacement of the elite and the bureaucracy with an efficient and deliverer system. once they hold a pivotal role in shaping influential institutions worldwide. Today, they seem to have overlooked the fact that this nation emerged from an era when offices functioned with thorns instead of paper pins, operating within containers. We have lost our identity, our heritage, and our cherished legacy in mere words.
We have tragically lost our generations, our past, and our legacy. ٰIn words, not the sentences in words.
Quaid's quote,
"I have no doubt that with unity, faith, and discipline we will compare with any nation of the world. You must make up your mind now, we must sink individualism and petty jealousy and make up our minds to serve the people with honesty and faithfulness."
Manipulated History
It has been rewritten, altering the essence of faith, unity, and discipline. The Islamization of our country continues to inflict wounds on us. Understanding requires farsighted vision, not just mere words.
For centuries, we have been devoid of vision. Countless leaders, but lacking in Muslim leadership. Only one man possessed the vision, understood the destination, and knew where to go.
We are handing over a priceless piece of land and a gem named freedom to the next generation of unskilled extremists. If they are not treated as was their right and lack a living environment, what will they do with limited brain capacity and toxic ideologies?

Words from a Hero Brutally Ignored: Dr. Iqbal Shadai
Lost Pages from History: Dr. Iqbal Shadai's Unmet Encounter with Jinnah, Yet Timeless Lines That mesmerise and remain relevant today;
"Our dearest Quad-i-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Before this great son of Islam took the reins of our leadership, we did not know what we were struggling for.
Our old leaders had no clear-out program to put before us. We were wandering behind them in an unlimited wilderness without any aim or object. This man was sent by God Almighty to lead us to victory, light, and freedom. In six years only he got back that most precious and dearest gem of liberty which had been snatched from us by the British a century and a half ago.
Gentlemen this brave and courageous man was alone in the midst of a terrible whirlwind of taunts from both our friends and foes. Some called him a lackey of the British Imperialists and others called him the enemy of India and of the whole East. But that great Son of Islam stood like a rock amidst this stormy ocean of human taunts.
His only reply to his friends and foes was,
“I shall get for my people a free and independent PAKISTAN”.
He succeeded in his aims and today we are here to congratulate him and his happy nation,
"The Pakistan"
Echoes of the Past, A Quest to Future
I cannot comment on previous generations, but I can confidently make a statement: we are about to confront our own incompetence. No country has ever been destroyed solely due to corruption, but rather when a characterless generation lacking vision, creativity, and competence takes the helm. The invaluable treasures built over centuries are squandered, from "Motorways to Metro."
The new generation must explore past for a better future.
