Here is a conversation between #SardarVallabhbhaiPatel and #Chakma leader Sneha Kumar Chakma regarding inclusion of #ChittagongHillTracts under India in 1947.
Brfore partition, July 1947

Sneha Kumar Chakma-
"I am flying back to CHT to declare it INDIA AND RESIST if it happens otherwise! Will you stand behind me, Sir?"

Sardar-
"Certainly, I will be with you, behind CHT! Go back, hurry back"!
After awarding CHT to Pakistan.

SKC- "We are resisting. I am sent to you for arms & ammunition".

Sardar- "Only arms & ammunition"?

SKC- "Yes. Only arms & ammunition. People of CHT are ready to fight out their own field. They can adopt to all weapons necessary at present."
Sardar- "I am quite ready to supply arms & ammunition. But you know I am a deputy? Have I not a 'Prime'?"

SKC- "Do you not push me to Pandit Nehru"?

Sardar- "Yes. You must meet him first".

SKC- "Then am I to see you again"?

Sardar- "Come and report".
After trying for 50 days finally Chakma leader managed to meet first PM of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The discussion lasted only few minutes.
SKC- "I am fighting Pakistan to bring back CHT to India. Will you kindly supply me only arms & ammunition"?

Pandit Nehru, the great Prime Minister of India, jumped up from the Prime Ministerial Chair and thundered-
"Do you propose to bring India again under foreign rule"?
Sneha Lumar Chakma dared not embarrass the Sardar with a 'report' and returned.
If #SardarVallabhbhaiPatel were the first PM of independent India the history of #ChittagongHillTracts would have been different. Salute!
