For proper understanding of the Partition of India in 1947, one has to trace the historical growth of various conditions like growth of communal politics,various twists and turns in our national movement of freedom, the British attitude and reaction towards the emerging situation, changes in perception of Indian situation in the eyes of world powers of those days and cobweb of socio-economic and political pressure on the British government of the day and last but not the least, the role of the leadership; these factors could be critically analysed before blaming this or that person because the leaders themselves seem to have been caught unaware under the fast emerging objective and immediate conditions on the eve of declaration of the British to free India by June 1948, which under the threat of the fall out of communal frenzy and other factors they changed unilaterally to 15th August, 1947.
The denial of the role of this historic process could only lead to blame or not this leader or the other; but this post may be taken neither as a defense nor blame to any person/s.
