Hi, Everyone! The Congress Working Committee resolution
acceding Pakistan reigned supreme—as affirmed by the Congress dictators on
August 6, 1942.
Note the date:
August 6, 1942. Quit India Movement was launched on August 8, 1942.
Quit
India was a most hollow, doomed-for-failure Movement—but the Congress High
Command must surely not have known that? They must have expected to gain some
form of independence.
·
Hence their rush to pass the Pakistan
resolution . . . ?
·
Had India (in the most unlikely chance)
gained independence then, Congress had paved the way to hack India into pieces
in 1942 . . . !
There
was also an interesting factor exposed in the United India resolution:
“Another
revealing feature of the Akhand Hindustan [united India, made by the A.I.C.C.]
resolution was that all the Muslim members of the A.I.C.C. opposed it in the
Allahbad meeting of the A.I.C.C. and issued a joint statement in regard to it.”[1]
Note that all the Muslim members of the All-India Congress Committee—just
like their High Command—were in favor of Pakistan too!
And
they, along with a significant number of other Muslims who voted for the Muslim
League, did not move bag-and-baggage to Pakistan after partition.
They,
the Hindu-Muslim problem, and an Indian Muslim League party remained behind in
India even after Partition . . . !
Just a thought:
What exactly did India achieve by partition?
·
Was the Hindu-Muslim problem solved? No.
·
Did the violence end? No.
·
Did Congress have free rein? Yes.
