It used to be now not about geography or ideology however whether or not faith will have to be the foundation of forming a country. The ones at the Muslim facet who believed in that created Pakistan, whilst a overwhelming majority at the facet of Gandhi and Nehru adversarial that for a mundane and built-in nation. They wrote a Charter that embodied that,” Mr Tharoor mentioned.
