Re: Controversial book banned by Modi government
LA attributed freedom of 1.6B people to gandhi…that 1.6B includes BD and Pakistan as well..India’s latest pop is 1.2B…so i took BD and Pak out as we attribute our freedom to Jinnah…
(may be we shd attribute our freedom to Nehru as well!!!.. whose continuance rejection of Cabinet Mission’s core proposal “to give significant autonomy to provinces under a loose confederation” in 1946 finally paved way for Pakistan…Jinnah accepted the cabinet mission’s core proposal and agreed to withdraw muslim league’s demand of an independent country subjected to Congress’s approval of Cabinet Mission’s proposal of giving enough autonomy to provinces. Nehru, as congress president, completely changed his direction and opposed the proposal publically to the surprise of most of congress leaders including gandhi and azad. Upon hearing Nehru’s viewpoint, Jinnah decided to withdraw his support to Cabinet Mission and the best chance to keep India united went into gutter! Rest is the history! Jaswint Singh has laid down all the details of this historical juncture in his latest book, which created a lot of controversy in India as our indian friends want to view indo-pak history from their prism only and in that prism, Jinnah is the biggest traitor who sold “dharti matta” and was nothing but a power-hungry old man who wanted to even score with nehru and gandhi and for that he was even willing to act as a British agent!!!
