The Pakistani logic, as mentioned by Tharoor, was that "Pakistan is created as a result of one party wanting a state for people of a particular religion. Now, the Indian Nationalist Movement never bought into that logic. It always claimed to be a movement of every faith, every religion, every caste, every language, every colour and so on."

It is an undeniable fact, that Shashi Tharoor never fails to churn out apt and crisp replies to all kinds of questions pertaining to India; whether it's about the British Raj in India, or in this case, India occupied Kashmir.
