The Three Wise Men of India | Xmas Special: Jinnah, Gandhi & Nehru and the Birth of Nations

This Indus Voices Xmas Special marks the birth anniversary of Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah by revisiting the most consequential moment in South Asian history through an honest and deeply researched conversation with Prof Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed. In this episode, we examine Jinnah, Mahatma Gandhi, and Jawaharlal Nehru not as caricatures or slogans, but as three complex political minds whose decisions shaped the destiny of nearly two billion people. Instead of simplistic blame, this discussion explores ideology, ego, fear, secularism, leadership styles, and missed opportunities that led to the Partition of India. Was Jinnah truly secular until the end? Was Gandhi a moral saint or a shrewd political operator? Did Nehru’s vision unintentionally harden divisions? Could Partition have been avoided if cooperation had prevailed? Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed brings decades of scholarship to address some of the most controversial questions surrounding the Khilafat Movement, Hindu Muslim unity, the role of Ambedkar, the legacy of Nehru in modern India, and the exhaustion felt by a new generation burdened by inherited hatred. The episode also directly engages with criticism of Dr Ishtiaq’s work, including allegations of bias, the Jinnah question, the Ahmadi issue, and the historical role of Sir Zafarullah Khan. These topics are discussed calmly, factually, and without fear. This is not a nationalist rant, nor an apology for Partition. It is an attempt to understand how history unfolded, why it went wrong, and what lessons remain relevant for India, Pakistan, and their diasporas today. Indus Voices is committed to progressive dialogue, secular values, intellectual honesty, and human dignity across borders. This conversation is for viewers who are tired of shouting matches and ready for depth.
