   Jinnah's vision for secular Pakistan nev

   Now, if we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous, we   
   should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and   
   especially of the masses and the poor. If you will work in co-operation,   
   forgetting the past, burying    
   the hatchet, you are bound to succeed. If you change your past and work   
   together in a spirit that everyone of you, no matter to what community he   
   belongs, no matter what relations he had with you in the past, no matter what   
   is his colour, caste or creed,    
   is first, second and last a citizen of this State with equal rights,   
   privileges, and obligations, there will be no end to the progress you will   
   make.    
   Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go   
   to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or   
   worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or   
   creed that has    
   nothing to do with the business of the State.    
   Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find   
   that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease   
   to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith   
   of each individual,    
   but in the political sense as citizens of the State.
