His ghost must be mourning at the sight of Sunnis killing Shias, and seeing Ahmadiyaas getting discriminated, of minorities getting decimated.
He must be sulking at having to watch Muslims in India propser as part a secular nation, the kind which he had envisaged Pakistan to be.
The Two Nation Theory is a total farce. The logic of Two-Nations states that Hindus and Muslims are two distinct blocks. It totally misses the fact that these blocks are further sub-divided into so many little pieces, that none of them can be joined together to form those Two Blocks. Those two blocks never existed, they are just a figment of imagination.

If the entire 1.6 Billion Population of the sub-continent is divided into religio-political groups, it will reveal the following groups:
450 million Upper Caste Hindus
250 million Lower Caste Hindus, who are totally unaligned with the Upper Castes
450 million Sunni Muslims
200 million Shia Muslims, who are largely unaligned with the Sunnis.
200 million Dalits, who are totally atheist, and unaligned with any of the above.
The rest Sikh, Christian, Buddhist, etc.
And furthermore all these groups listed above are sliced and diced into more linguistic and distinct geographic sub-groups.
In India, every 2% of the population is different from the other 98%. But all those different 2% pieces added together have created the largest secular democratic republic of the world.

A truly secular democratic nation of the above composition could never have been an anathema to any single group. The power of democracy would have ensured that no single group ever becomes dominant. It would have accorded equal rights and statuses to every individual, as has been largely achieved in a secular India. It also would have created the largest economic block in the world, far more superior, powerful and prosperous than any other country.

Unfortunately, historical hindsight is always going to be 20/20. What has been done cannot be undone. If the people of the subcontinent want to prosper,
they must cease all differences and create a tightly knit economic block which will ensure that the true potential of this region is brought to fruition.
