Eloquent Incoherence feels that the 1947 partition may possibly have an Andalusian effect on Islamic heritage in India…
Though the regions that came to form Pakistan have their share of Muslim landmarks and historic centers of civilization, none of them rival the aforementioned sites and institutions in terms of historic significance. The creation of Pakistan has yet to usher in the Islamic renaissance that Iqbal and others had hoped would give rise to modern centers of Islamic civilization; to the extent that the Pakistan movement was an attempt to re-create the golden age of the Mughal Empire, it has so far been unsuccessful.
Worth a read, though it may lead one to question his politics.
