I am reading freedom at midnight and I feel it is a bit biased against MA Jinnah's Pakistan.

First, it doesn't talk about our founding father in high terms. On the contrary the author has praised(so far) both Gandhi and Lord Mountbatten.

Second, the author says there were 35 million Muslims and 30 million Hindus in Bengal. Do you agree with this figure?

Third, the author says that apart from religious differences, all the Punjabis and the Bengalis shared common languages, culture and traditions. What's your view on it?

Fourth, was a Muslim state created for the religion purpose or to get rid of Hindu majority and British rule? What's your view on it?



History people, I need your views.
