[edit] THE CAUSE OF THE CONTINENT OF DINIA

Now it was as a result of the perpetual working of these eternal, mysterious forces of Nature that there was born in 1933 a new ideology, as dynamic and fateful as that of Hellenism in the twelfth century B.C. and Yankeeism in the eighteenth century A.D. This was the ideology of "Pakism"

[edit] WHAT IS DINIA?

Dinia is the new designation and destiny of the old, ante-diluvian "India", which is dying its well deserved death. It is obvious that the word "Dinia" is composed of the letters of the word "India" itself and that, in the arrangement of letters, there is only one change. This is the transposition of the letter "d?" in "India" to the first place. That is all.

This change, though superficially simple, is semantically significant and morally historic. For it revolutionizes the meaning and message of the name of the lands, revives the fortunes of the 400 million people living in these lands, and profoundly affects the balance of power oin the world.
