Mujib ur Rehman & Jinnah: Double Standards of History | Dr. Raza Naeem

On the death anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, we sit down with Dr. Raza Naeem, a scholar of Pakistan Affairs, to revisit the life, politics, and legacy of the man often labeled a “traitor” in Pakistan’s history. In this thought-provoking conversation, we ask: Was Mujib really a traitor, or a leader whose demands were ignored? Dr. Naeem explores how Mujib’s famous Six Points were never given serious consideration, and why the political leadership of the time failed to accommodate East Pakistan’s aspirations. We also draw striking parallels with Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who himself demanded a separate homeland for Muslims. If Jinnah was celebrated for creating Pakistan, then why was Mujib vilified for creating Bangladesh? This podcast challenges long-held narratives, urging viewers to re-examine history beyond the lens of propaganda.
