    One united country with power sharing on the basis of majority population in a region, that would have avoided partititon, was never considered by the leaders of the Congress Party, and alienated Zinha who was cornered into seeking the split up of the country. If there was a mutual deal, there would not have been a blood bath; eventually, there could have been separation of states with a large majority of Muslim population. Never any compromise discussed at the time of Independence.

    It is not one’s job to stir up communal disharmony and to seek votes. People who lost their live and their families suffered and still suffering. These politicians were the root cause of it. One group wanted portion and others were licking British government’s boots then.

    RSS do not recognise/respect all such sacrifices of freedom fighters. They have their own agenda.
