Some ‘seculars’ seem incensed at my pointing out the minimal participation of the Muslims in India’s freedom struggle. Actually I just stated history and did not pass any value judgment. In fact Muslim League leaders like Jinnah,Liaquat Ali,Nazimuddin,Suhrawardy,etc who had
the support of practically the entire Muslim population of British India,showed considerable political sagacity in letting Congress-led Hindus go to jail,face British bullets etc. while they sat back and got their Pakistan. Thereafter they drove all Hindus and Sikhs out of
West Pakistan and the entire Hindu middle class out of East Pakistan. The exodus from West Pakistan was reciprocated by exodus of Muslims from East Punjab, but that from East Pakistan was strictly one-way. Very few Muslims left West Bengal. And those who did got a fair price
for the property they left behind. Those who differ with me may please point out if I am factually incorrect in any of these instead of ranting ‘communal’,’how can a Governor’,etc
