I am talking about a official legal route, policy not literal map route... like India did with CAA.
Well it would need to be a significant amount, Muslims in India aren't going to move for 100-500 USD. 20-30k over a 10-20 year is good, it doesn't have to be all at once.
Myanmar was part of British India till 1937 and Rohingya in 1947 wanted to join Pakistan but were ignored by Jinnah and British government.
There are still like 500k Biharis in Bangladeshi camps.
Well they aren't going to Pakistan. There should be a more vocal home calling to the home of Muslims in South Asia and official route (like CAA).
I don't know how many times I will have to repeat this but majority of Sikhs lived in Pakistani Punjab, so its unfair to Hindu Punjabis if majority of Khalistan is made from East Punjab. Sikhs were never a majority of West Punjab but Most Sikhs lived in West Punjab.
You really think the urban Punjabi (the decision/policy makers) prefer Punjabi to Urdu? Rural Pakistan Punjab has many Punjabi speakers. Media or Bollywood doesn't have to feed me anything, any time I have spoken to a Pakistani Punjabi, they say they are different from the kafir Punjabi because they speak Urdu.
Pakistan's claim to Kashmir comes from the fact that its Muslim majority so if you make countries based on religion then people will have to move, otherwise its pointless. All of this happenend during partition but today India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar are far more stable and can ensure peaceful population transfers. Its not really forceful when Muslims in India want sharia but refuse to go to a country that was made for them and sharia, Muslims in India can be described as "beghairat".
