[mukto-mona] Re: Hindu-Muslim unity: a historical speech by a leading Deobandi maulvi

WRT: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mukto-mona/message/48415

It would be historically ignorant to claim that ideologues and
religionists spoke of a unified India while political skulduggery was
responsible for Partition. Muslim politicians like Maulana Abul Kalam
Azad (himself an Islamic scholar - he was a Maulana) were
vociferously opposed to the two nation theory. The family of the late
Qurratulain Haider, one of India's greatest writers in the 20th
century, even returned to India from Pakistan after both nations were
firmly established. And Hindu politicians like C P Ramasamy Aiyar, a
Brahmin preacher and ideologue and the last Diwan of Travancore,
tried to break the mainly Hindu kingdom in his control away from
India because he wanted it to remain a Dominion under the British
crown. Last but not the least, Hari Singh of Kashmir, a Hindu, did
not sign the Instrument of Accession to India under pressure from
Jawaharlal Nehru until he lost half his country to raiders.

There was a lot more to the history of the Indian subcontinent than
the sweeping generalisations tossed about in this post.
