Indias Partition

Yeh reading the book Nathruam Nathi, the Oriya version. So far the book seems to be a hardcore critic of Nehru on India’s partition, somehow i agree, Jinna had right to ask for Pakistan. And the author seems to have condemned Bapu for supporting Nehru. i realized a book by Abul Kalam Azad called "India Wins Freeddom", which got published in 1958 had been banned and again republished in 1988 after the interference of the supreme court.

Somehow feel like Neherus ego has lead to India's partition.

The basic cause of India's partition was Nehru’s reluctance of giving only 2 seats to Muslim league in 1937. Then again during 1946 Neherus declaration(Not to obey the Cabinet action plan recommending priority to minoirty) on not obeying the "cabinet action plan" which lead Jinna to ask for a Muslim country. If He would not have given the statement, Jinna should have agreed to Nehrus leadership and he has the right to afraid for the Muslim community.

I strongly recommend this book, May be someday I will read the book "India Wins freedom", this book was banned to have a turmoil on Indian politics during that time and could have exposed Nehru.

Having said this I am a harcore admirer of Gandhi and his philosophy but feel like his love for Nehry might have detered him a bit. Why din he fasted when Neheru was admant on the power.

And realized Nathruam decided to assasign Gandhi after deciding to go for a fast to give Pakistan around 50 crore during the parition but the minsisters decided againt this decission as there was the Kasmir war going on during this time. I somehow feel Gandhi did the right thing to fullfill the commitment that has been given to Pak, this is what India is known for, the tolerance and the commitment.
