Pakistan or The Partition of India – :The Muslim Leagued Resolution on Pakistan has called forth different reactions. There are some who look upon it as a case of political measles to which a people in the infancy of their conscious unity and power are very liable. Others have taken it as a permanent frame of the Muslim mind and not merely a passing phase and have in consequence been greatly perturbed.My position in this behalf is definite, if not singular. I do not think the demand for Pakistan is the result of mere political distemper, which will pass away with the efflux of time. As I read the situation, it seems to me that it is a characteristic in the biological sense of the term, which the Muslim body politic has developed in the same manner as an organism develops a characteristic. Whether it will survive or not, in the process of natural selection, must depend upon the forces that may become operative in the struggle for existence between Hindus and Musalmans. I am not staggered by Pakistan; I am not indignant about it; nor do I believe that it can be smashed by shooting into it similes and metaphors. Those who believe in shooting it by similes should remember that nonsense does not cease to be nonsense because it is put in. rhyme, and that a metaphor is no argument though it be sometimes the gunpowder to drive one home and imbed it in memory. I believe that it would be neither wise nor possible to reject summarily a scheme if it has behind it the sentiment, if not the passionate support, of 90 p.c. Muslims of India. I have no doubt that the only proper attitude to Pakistan is to study it in all its aspects, to understand its implications and to form an intelligent judgement about it.

About The Author

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was not only the architect of the Constitution of India, but he was also a great social reformer who fought against untouchability, championed the rights of women, and fought for the rights of the backward castes and oppressed classes. His vision was not limited to legal reforms; he was a committed leader whose sole aim was the well-being and development of his country. His life was dedicated only to the establishment of equality and justice.Dr. Ambedkar’s personality was so great that it was far beyond the imagination of ordinary leaders. His fundamental principle was “”nation first””, and he envisioned a system of governance in which every citizen is equally respected with the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. He believed that every person, regardless of caste or background, should experience these fundamental rights.As a prominent jurist, economist, social reformer and political leader, Dr. Ambedkar chaired the committee that drafted the Indian Constitution and later became India’s first Minister of Law and Justice. He was posthumously awarded India’s highest civilian honour, the “”Bharat Ratna””, in 1990 for his service to the nation. Several memorials have been built to commemorate his contributions and his presence remains popular in Indian culture even today, reflecting the invaluable role he played in nation building.”
