Partition of India

There’s a row over Jaswant Singh’s book on Jinnha where Jinnha is eulogized and Sardar Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru are shown in poor light. They’re held to have contributed to the partition of India. This book’s cost Singh dearly. He’s been expelled from BJP.Such a row after 62 years of our independence is useless, may it be of academic interest. Now it’s no denying the fact that had not British divided India, the forces that sponsored Pakistan would have made it inevitable post independence. So undivided India is mere a concept of a day-dreamer. In that sense British did a good job by partitioning India, though the brunt of this division the people had to bear is unforgettable.Pakistan as our neighbour is too hostile.Now imagine forces that represent Pakistan are present in undivided India.Will not this very idea send shiver down your spine? So at present it’s of no consequence whoever supported or opposed partition of India. Poor Jaswant!
