Allah Baksh Sumroo was the man who said India should not be partitioned because entire India belonged to Mughals. And Islαm should ultimately rule over entire India
He is now being turned into a "freedom fighter" by a nexus of establishment historians and secular politicians! https://twitter.com/ShashiTharoor/status/1288364496772141057

Another attempt by the secular brigade to manufacture another "Mμslim freedom fighter".
Irfan Habib certifies Allah Baksh Sumroo as a "freedom fighter". He organised "Azam Muslim conference" against Pakistan demand of the league.
All ingredients ripe for a great secular hero!

Allah Baksh Sumroo the hero from Mμslim majority province of Sindh who opposed Jinnah and Mμslim league.
The hero gathered 75,000 people to condemn Mμslim league.
The secular hero has finally arrived. Could anything go wrong?
Unfortunately, yes. The devil is in the detail

Instead of Pakistan, Sumroo opted for a united India, but
He demanded preferential constitutional rights safeguarding "legitimate interests" of Mμslims. It will be written by Mμslim members of constituent assembly.
Non Mμslims will not have any right to interfere in it

Further, Sumroo demanded that in Independent India
1)Mμslims should have constitutional protection for Mμslim culture, religious & personal rights including Sharia
2)Mμslim members of constituent assembly for framing the Mμslim constitution will be elected by Mμslims themselves

There will be a 27 member Mμslim body elected by Mμslims themselves which would have the virtual strength of half the lower house of parliament.
They resolved to make provisions to the effect that Mμslim body will have the veto power. No bill would pass without their approval.

Dr B.R. Ambedkar termed their demands as "frightful & dangerous alternative to Pakistan".
He wondered whether Hindus would be better off conceding Pakistan rather than giving in to such outrageous demands.
In his words, it was virtually "handing over the country" to them.

Irfan Habib Hails Sumroo as a great secular icon.
However, it was exactly when Sumroo was premier of Sindh that violent anti Hindu Sukkur riots took place.
Almost 90% of victims were minority Hindus.
This began mass exodus of Sindhi Hindus to regions that would become India

Sumroo was very lenient towards the rioters.
He released those rioters who were involved in Anti Hindu riots. They were not brought to book.
He simply handed over the Manzilgah just opposite to and within premises of the Hindu temple to the Mμslim mob that went on rampage.

I don't claim to be a know all.
If he had disagreements, he could have pointed it out.
Although I differ with his position and ideology, I have never been personally disrespectful to him.
But alas, some people are not even interested in a dialogue.
