A Pakistani woman who had been living in India for 41 years has been deported, according to ANI News. The woman, who was married to an Indian citizen, was forced to leave behind her two daughters and family after over four decades of residency.
According to reports, the woman has no place to go in Pakistan, having established her home and family in India over the past four decades. The deportation has separated her from her entire family, leaving her in a desperate situation.
"We are all being collectively punished for the Pahalgam attack," the woman stated. "We have no connection to the Pahalgam incident, so why are we being expelled?" she questioned.
The deportation has reignited debate about Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Two-Nation Theory, which proposed that Hindus and Muslims constitute two distinct nations that cannot coexist peacefully within a single state. Observers note that Indian extremists and hardliners appear pleased with the ongoing persecution of Muslims in the country.
Critics of the deportation argue that this case represents a victory for communal politics in India and a defeat for humanitarian values. The woman's plight has become emblematic of broader tensions between religious communities, with many citing it as evidence supporting Jinnah's assertion that Hindus and Muslims cannot live together harmoniously under one government.
The deportation comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam incident, with many innocent individuals caught in the crossfire of diplomatic strife.
