PARTITION: BLAME IT ON NEHRU!


From Daniel Ovelz Michael

BLAME IT ON NEHRU!

✪ In the photo the All India Congress Committee delegates are seen voting for Partition. 
✪ Nehru, Pant and Prasad are visible.
✪ But all the blame befalls Nehru time and again for the partition.
✪ The AICC could have rejected the partition if Congress was so against Partition.
✪ It was Rajagopalachari and Patel, the first ones to accept partition.
✪ And again Sardar Patel was the one who prevailed over that if the Sub Continent had to be partitioned then Punjab and Bengal too would have to be partitioned. As both the provinces had vast proportions of Hindus districts along with the predominantly muslim majority districts.
✪ Jinnah had expected that the Hindu districts of Punjab and Hindu districts of Bengal would get transferred to Pakistan as parts of one same province.
✪ When Jinnah did not get the desired Pakistan he termed it as Moth eaten Pakistan. He had even demanded that a corridor connecting west Pak and east Pak be created accross India. Which rightly got rejected at the outset by Mountbatten.
✪ Sarat Chandra Bose and Suhrawardy wanted Bengal to remain united and independent with Calcutta as capital.
✪ If united Bengal was approved as independent nation then perhaps even a United Punjab with both Muslim and Hindu areas together would have emerged as Independent nation then perhaps Jinnah would have been left with Sindh and Balochistan as Pakistan.
✪ But the British were determined to create a large Pakistan with two wings - east and west if not in one territorial extent.
✪ The question is did the British wanted to divide India or divide the Muslims?
✪ The Indian Muslims of the Subcontinent were the largest muslim population amongst all muslims of the world.
✪ The British never wanted another monolith Muslim population nation to emerge in the world. 
✪ They demolished the Ottomans and wanted the Arabs to dominate the Muslim world.
✪ The British knew it thoroughly that creation of Pakistan wont be perfect and wholesome!  as many muslims would stay back in Hindu India and would not migrate to Pakistan. 
✪ The British knew it eventually that East Bengal would sooner than later emerge as an Independent Nation. The artificial nation would crumble in time.
✪ Hence the Partition of India would actually be the division of Muslims of the Subcontinent into three divisions i) Muslims of India, ii) Muslims of West Pakistan & iii) Muslims of East Bengal.
✪ The British wanted to control the oil rich Arabs and make the Arabs to emerge as the main force of all Muslims in the world.
✪ Therefore it's important to understand the British design in Partition of the Subcontinent.

Helen Mirren once said: Before you argue with someone, ask yourself.......

Helen Mirren once said: Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective. Because if not, there's absolutely no point. Not every argument is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn’t listening to understand—they’re listening to react. They’re stuck in their own perspective, unwilling to consider another viewpoint, and engaging with them only drains you. There’s a difference between a healthy discussion and a pointless debate. A conversation with someone who is open-minded, who values growth and understanding, can be enlightening—even if you don’t agree. But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own beliefs? That’s like talking to a wall. No matter how much logic or truth you present, they will twist, deflect, or dismiss your words, not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see another side. Maturity is...

EXPLAINING THE PREAMBLE OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION

Thanks Hari Singh Shekhawat for EXPLAINING THE PREAMBLE OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION: Given the detailed nature of the Constitution of India, the Preamble serves a vital role in capturing the essence of the Constitution. Let’s revisit its core values on the 76th Republic Day. As India prepares to celebrate its 76th Republic Day under the theme “Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas” (Golden India: Legacy and Progress), the day also marks a historic moment to reflect on the core values of the Indian Constitution, which came into effect on January 26, 1950. On this day, let’s reflect on the core values enshrined in the Preamble — Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, and Republic — which constitute the foundation of India’s democratic framework, promoting justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity among all its citizens. The Preamble’s invocation of “We, the people of India” The preamble begins with the famous and stirring words, “We, the people of India”. This invocation of t...

Why BJP is opposing the Telangana caste census?

The BJP opposes the Telangana caste census primarily due to concerns about its political motivations, alleging that the Congress party is using it for electoral gain rather than genuine welfare of Backward Classes (BCs)  1 3 .  BJP leaders argue that the census distracts from Congress's unfulfilled promises to BCs and could exacerbate social divisions  2 4 .  Additionally, there are fears within the BJP that a detailed caste enumeration might reveal ongoing upper-caste dominance in politics and society, which could challenge their support base  7 8 . The BJP's main arguments against the caste census include: Political Manipulation : BJP leaders assert that the Congress party is using the caste census for political advantage rather than for the welfare of Backward Classes (BCs), claiming it distracts from unfulfilled promises made to these communities  2 4 . Threat to Hindutva Agenda : The party views the census as a potential challenge to its support base a...
