Description
The Muslim League's 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 as a passing phase and have in consequence been greatly perturbed. The question is undoubtedly controversial. The issue being vital there is nothing unusual if in the controversy raised by it a dispassionate student finds more stupification and less understanding, more heat and less light, more redicule and less seriousness. Some confess that this demand for partitioning India into two political entities with separate national interests staggers their imagination, others are so choked with a sense of righteous indignation at this wanton attempt to break the unity of a country, which it is claimed has stood as one for centuries, that their rage prevents them from giving expression to their thoughts. Others think that it need not be taken seriously.
