/ world today news/ Hamza Yousaf, a Muslim of Pakistani origin, became the new head of the Scottish government. Formally, his main task is to achieve independence from Great Britain, whose government is headed by a Hindu. Thus, the bloody Indian-Pakistani conflict received a projection in the British authorities. But this is not the most interesting thing that awaits Scotland now.
Mahatma Gandhi fought not only for independence from Britain, but also for the former colony of London Hindustan to become a single sovereign state – without a border between Hindus and Muslims. This idea was then shared by most key people in both branches of the anti-British resistance. But the subsequent controversies about the division of influence did not leave a chance for good intentions – two new countries, India and Pakistan, declared independence at the same time.
The leadership of the two leading parties – the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League – hate each other to such an extent that they cannot physically come to an agreement. The boundary was therefore drawn by the British, in particular Lord Cyril Radcliffe, who, it was believed at the time, had no vested interest in the matter.
The Lord is trying to draw the border in accordance with what has been introduced – on religious grounds and taking into account the existing infrastructure, but in some places the paper is very different from the reality. The secret of why Radcliffe makes this or that decision in controversial cases, he takes it with him to the grave and destroys all documents.
The British has no feelings for the colonies of Hindustan, is not interested in life in them before the special assignment and hates the local climate. But if he had been told then that in less than a century a Hindu and a Pakistani Muslim would be negotiating the partition of the British Isles, he would surely have taken it as a bad joke.
The jokes are over: the new leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), and therefore head of the Scottish Government, is second-generation immigrant Hamza Yousaf. Like most members of his party, he advocates the separation of Scotland from Great Britain, whose government has recently been headed by the Indian Rishi Sunak. Such is the irony of historical fate or the Anglo-Saxons’ retribution for colonialism.
With London, everything is clear: the Conservatives are in power there, but in terms of the cult of multiculturalism, the Tories can no longer be distinguished from the Liberals. But SNP is something of a nationalist party. Scottish nationalism is associated with brutal bearded men in skirts, not people like Yousaf. He took his first oath as a member of the Scottish Parliament just over 10 years ago in a sherwani, the garb of Hindu nobility, repeating his oath in Urdu, Pakistan’s official language.
At the same time, Yousaf seems particularly concerned about the rights of transgender people, as well as the rights of other “modern” minorities.
The trick here is that the SNP has long been an extremely liberal party, far from the mainstream in London. Revolving around the idea of the selfish distribution of income from the oil discovered on the Scottish shelf, this party has already absorbed the whole European human rights agenda, including the cult of the European Union, from which the United Kingdom, as you know, withdrew.
As for the contradictions between “free choice of sex” and the Muslim religion, they are less than it might seem. Many things are forbidden in theocratic Iran, but sex-change operations are perfectly legal: the ayatollahs believe there is no taboo about it in Islam.
Another thing is that on some issues Yusaf is, to put it mildly, a radical. Guaranteed and financially supported by the state “intergender transition” at the first request of the student – this is his personal vision for the future. This (and perhaps the background of the First Minister who now recognizes this) draws a line of division in the ruling party in Scotland.
Yousaf’s main rival in the internal party leadership election was Kate Forbes, a less famous but more experienced politician. The new First Minister of Scotland was one of the closest aides to the previous two, and also served as Minister for Transport, Justice and Health during the period of mass vaccination against the coronavirus. Now he is only 37 years old, but Forbes is even younger – 32 years old. For five of those she was in charge of finance at the Scottish Government.
It seemed that her loss was a foregone conclusion, but she unexpectedly gave Yousaf a serious fight, ending up trailing by only four percentage points – 48 to 52. And here we have to understand that Forbes, on the contrary, adheres to positions that are conservative by SNP standards on the issues of abortion, gay marriage, gender reassignment, generally anything that goes against her strict Protestant views.
In this way, the party split roughly in half: the guarantees of intersex transitions made by Yousaf are already “too much” for many. Many are of the opinion that this will not end well. And the first minister has a good chance to prove that his critics are not wrong – he is so energetic.
For example, he promised to racially diversify the Scottish government, despite the fact that Scotland, unlike London or Manchester, is not racially diverse – almost all are white. Given Yusaf’s background, this will be a full-fledged experiment in the spirit of the “new ethics” on an entire, albeit still non-independent, state unit. It’s as if in the country of bagpipes they decided to build an ideal society according to the orders of George Soros.
Yousaf himself thinks that Scotland should become a republic at all, which, oddly enough, is not shared by the majority in the SNP (They never objected to being considered subjects of Elizabeth II, like the Australians or Canadians). This, of course, would be an even more interesting experiment, but Yusaf is unlikely to be allowed to conduct it.
The chances of the Scots trying again to secede from the UK through a referendum are slim to none. London has made it clear that there will be no referendums more than once every 20-30 years. And a tougher and more radical game will be hindered by the intra-party struggles of the Scottish nationalists, who risk reaching a new level under Yousaf.
That is, despite all the Indo-Pakistani controversies, the triumph of Hamza Yousaf is also a celebration of Rishi Sunak Street. Especially if the discord leads to the division of the SNP into traditional national separatists and non-traditional ones – with CGHIZ, changing the sex of children, racial diversity without a clear need and other “messages”.
Given that Yousaf is more useful to Sunak as First Minister of Scotland, they can find common ground that the founding fathers of India and Pakistan failed to do. The so-called Mountbatten plan, for which Lord Radcliffe drew his cards, led to a civilizational conflict that killed at least one million people and made tens of millions refugees.
By the way, both Sunak’s parents and Yusaf’s mother, strictly speaking, are not from Hindustan, but from Africa – former compatriots Indians and Pakistanis are also actively moving there. But the scenario where a Hindu Prime Minister and a Muslim First Minister, in the right seats, divide the UK purely out of revenge for the suffering of their peoples is good for cinema but hardly applicable in real politics.
