A Pakistani woman, who had resided in India for 41 years and was married to an Indian man, has been deported, according to Indian News. Forced to leave behind her family, including two daughters, she now faces an uncertain future in Pakistan, a country she no longer considers home.
Reports indicate that she had built her entire life in India and has no support system in Pakistan. Her deportation, which she claims is unjustified and linked to the recent Pahalgam attack, has sparked emotional outcry. “We are being punished for something we had no role in,” she lamented.
This incident has revived discussions surrounding Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Two-Nation Theory, which argued that Hindus and Muslims are inherently different and unable to coexist under a single nation. Critics argue that the woman’s forced removal exemplifies growing communal polarization in India, and point to it as a moment that validates Jinnah’s controversial vision.
Observers suggest that the increasing marginalization of Muslims in India, especially under the current political climate, is leading to actions that undermine humanitarian principles. The woman’s story has become a symbol of the deteriorating state of interfaith harmony, with many highlighting it as a human tragedy born of political strife and extremism.
