yahii baat Dr. Alok Rai ne apne ek 2012 ke lecture meN duhraa'ii hai.
"Dr Alok Rai, who is considered an authority on the 'Hindi-Urdu Controversy', traced the controversy from the 19th century and explained how a controversy which began with the demand for a script (Nagari), developed into a language demand (Hindi) and further became a political demand splitting two communities apart (Hindu and Muslim) and culminated in the creation of two nations (India and Pakistan). He said Konkani has lot of lessons to learn from this." (Prof. Dr Alok Rai on 'Language Script and Dominance in India)

lihaazaa is tanaazu3 ke avaa'il meN mazhab kaa kirdaar itnaa gahraa nahiiN thaa. Haal hii meN Jaswant Singh ne apnii kitaab meN is baat kaa inkishaaf kiyaa hai kih Muhammad Ali Jinnah ko xvaah-maxvaah maurid-i-ilzaam Thahraayaa jaataa hai jab kih mulk kii taqsiim meN Congress Party ke a3laa qaa'idiin kaa kirdaar nihaayat numaayaaN rahaa thaa.
"I wondered about why Haali didn't use words like 'jazb honaa' or 'samaa jaana'. 'Duubna' is rather dramatic. So, although he is talking about Islaam becoming immersed in pre-existing Hindustani culture, he may be lamenting this fact rather than celebrating it. 'Duubna' to him may imply 'loss of purity' rather than 'gain of diversity'." (VK)
Vijay SaaHib, Maulana Hali is not talking about "loss of purity" of Islam but the fall of its adherents from a position of success to that of doom. The "be-baak beRaa" (Muslim Community) that traversed the seas and oceans fearlessly and against all odds, when it came to the mouth of the Ganges (a river, not a sea) it got swallowed up in it! It does n't mean that Muslims outside India were living in a state of nirvana. As he is an Indian Muslim, his focus is naturally on the Muslims of India, hence the metaphor of Ganges. It is not India or the Ganges at fault. It is the Muslims themselves. Besides "be-baak beRaa" is the subject of the band. Verbs such as "samaanaa" or "jazb honaa" do not quite fit the context.
"is saaniHe ke ba'ad, Hindostaan meN kayee aisi lehreN chaleeN jin ka maqsad "Islaami supremacy" ko phir se ba-Haal karnaa tha. in lehroN ke aek mustanad sar-ba-raah Sir Sayyad Ahmad the, jinhoN ne 1875 meN Aligarh Muslim University ki bunyaad rakkhii aur ---- inheeN ke iimaa par --- Maulaana Haali ne 1886 meN yeh musaddas likkhii!
to, Vijay saaHib, I stand corrected --- Maulaana Haali ki yeh nazm hamaari do tehzeeboN ke saNgam ki 'celebration' naheeN hai. yeh "Islaami supremacy" ke zavaal ka maatam hai!"
"some scholars of Pakistani nationalism consider this musaddas an important text for the future articulation of a Muslim Nation".
Raj Kumar SaaHib, merii Haqiir raa'e meN is adabii maHfil meN aisii siyaasii baaton kii zaruurat nahiiN thii. lekin jab aap ne aisaa kar hii diyaa hai to majbuur-an javaab likh rahaa huuN. ummiid hai aap buraa nahiiN maaneN ge.

jahaaN tak ba3z Pakisani daanish-varoN kaa musaddas ko aa'indah Muslim Millat kaa pesh-xaimah samajhne se ta3alluq hai to yahii baat janaab-i-Khushwant Singh ne Iqbal ke shikvah-javaab-i-shikvah ke tarjume ke pesh-lafz meN bhii kahii hai. haqiiqat yih hai kih Pakistan kaa qissah nah Hali ke daur meN chhiRaa thaa aur nah hii "shikve" ke zamaane meN. yahaaN maiN janaab-i-Afzal SaaHib kii ek post se iqtibaas kartaa huuN.
"The two poems were written in the early part of the twentieth century. At the time, the Quaid-e-Azam was a staunch "nationalist" and people had not really thought about claiming a separate homeland for the Indian Muslims. The campaign in this behalf really began towards the late thirties. These are incontrovertible historical facts. Even then, KS has declared, as per SRF, that "the Shikwa reveals a not-too-veiled contempt for non-Muslims, particularly Hindus and it may be regarded as the first manifesto of the Two Nation Theory". What does this assertion indicate if not a wholly dishonest mindset? Is he not doing a singular disservice to Iqbal by telling the non- Urdu Indian masses that Iqbal was advocating a Partition of the country around 1910, (when the poem was composed)? And this too as recently as 1975?"
