The excitement in the BJP camp in India, triggered by LK Advani's recent remarks about Jinnah being a secular person and yet the founder of Pakistan, it seems to have subsided. What is the real, historical truth? Recently unsealed British top-secret archives provide a stunningly different version of what really happened during the disastrous partition in 1947, of India into three separate and distinct entities.
Before India's independence, it was widely believed that Indiawas not likely to survive as an independent nation. The Muslim League did not think of dream of restoring Muslim political dominance in India and was originally a division of the country into independent Muslim states. The league felt, in fact, that partition mean that Muslim power would be withdrawn two distant corners of the subcontinent ... from many an embarrassing retreat for Islam, which came 800 years of conquest as enjoyed. Since Muslims were nearly 40 percent ofPopulation of pre-partition British India and which were non-Muslims in countless religions and castes fragmented, the concept of restoring a degree of Muslim dominance and control over the entire subcontinent seemed to be tempting.
According to the generally accepted ideas, in India and Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinnah was the architect of Pakistan. Actually, it was the British who for a referendum in every province of the subcontinent, threatening behavior, and it wasJawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel arising as to propose the pressure, setting the stage for Lord Mountbatten, the British Viceroy of India, to formally partition plan, and Congress and Muslim League will accept it. On 20 February 1947, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee, announced that "Britain would consider handing over power to the existing provincial governments". This left the Congress no other choice than to accept,Partition.
Thought at that time very few people that India is not only survive, but actually one of the world's strongest and longest democracies and that Sardar Patel, the Iron Man of India "would succeed in orchestrating the almost unimaginable task as fast determined to integrate and prosper over 600 former princely states into the Indian Union, at the time of independence in 1947.
According to Narendra Singh Sarila, the ADC Lord Mountbatten1947, whose forthcoming book makes the truth, the partition of India was actually decided in February, 1946. This means that it is not Sir Cyril Radcliffe, the British chairman of both commissions, the Boundary partitioned India and created East and West Pakistan, who masterminded the plan. He arrived in India for the first time only on 8 July 1947. Of 17 August 1947, just two days after the date of independence of India Mountbatten was presented by the Boundary Commission AwardIndian politicians.
In fact, Jinnah, the "Quaid-i-Azam" could not be more than his compatriots console do ... "We have been squeezed as much as possible and no later than shock, we have received, the award of the Boundary Commission. It is unjust, incomprehensible and even perverse Award. It may be wrong, unjust and perverse, and it can not a court but a political price, but we have decided to keep it up and it is binding on us. As honorable people we must think of him.It may be our misfortune but we must go with them a blow with greater strength, courage and hope. "Lord Wavell, then Viceroy of India had all along encouraged the concept of partition, and recommended that as far back as February 1946, a truncated Pakistan - excluding one third of the Punjab, Bengal, and almost half of all Assam - which since the final blueprint for the awards to be enforced the partition of India.
Jinnah may actually have been only a tacticalTo use instrument for the British against the Congress. During the Cold War, it came later, between the West and the Soviet Union, it was no surprise, enlightened politicians, worldwide, when Pakistan became a much-used basis for overt and covert confrontation between the West and the Soviets and their allies, orVictims.
