Partition of India and Pakistan was inevitable

Cermank, thanks for welcoming me to DDO . I would like to repeat that there had been some sort of technical problem during the last round and so I would like to post my Second Round reply and the reply to Cermank's 2nd Round post in one .I, against your opinion, think that the partition of India and Pakistan was inevitable. After a long rule of Mughals who were Muslims, when in 1857 Indians rebelled against the British, it were the muslims who were blamed the most. Many were thrown out of advisory postitions and many sent to jail. ( some even without trial )This made a golden oppurtunity for the Hindus. They hadn't been too of a governmental authority in the rule of Mughals. Now indeed most of the governmental positions and higher military positions had been gained by Hindus with a very minority of muslims left.Now they had almost become independent and didn't need to ally with the Muslims. Congress Ministries were formed in 8 out of 11 provinces of India in 1937 and they worked under the instructions of the Congress High Command, which was controlled by Mr. Gandhi and some other leaders. The Congress Rule was hated because it adopted policies which harmed and hurt the Muslims in many ways. Some of the steps taken by Congress Ministries were: 1. Song of Bande Matram which clearly hurt Muslim feelings, adopted as National Anthem. 2. Wardha Scheme was educational schemes which encouraged Hindu religion and culture. Teaching was to be in Hindi with no religious education which meant that Muslim students were at a disadvantage. 3. Muslim children were required to show reverence for Gandhi’s portrait which was hung up in schools. 4. Ban on cow slaughter was enforced. 5. Frequent occurrences of Hindu-Muslim riots in which always the Muslims were made victims. The Congress Rule was hated on account of these anti-Muslim policies and the Muslims heaved a sigh of relief, when the Congress Ministries resigned in November 1939. Hence, it was not just a "Temporary" clash between Hindus and Muslims, rater the beginning of a long-lasting one.Thus it was realised by some of the leading Muslims, that to preserve their identity and name they really needed a separate country where they could practise their religion without any limitations, otherwise Muslims's identity would inevitably been disorted . As for your second point, No One likes a piece of land to be divided, yet it does. Google "History of the World from 1300 Coursera", that's a course from Princeton and the University says "This course will examine the ways in which the world has grown more integrated yet more divided over the past 700 years"Do you think anyone really wanted pieces of Earth to be divided ? The true fact is No. Nobody wanted that, but still it happened ... Why ? Because it was a necessity, a dire one. Otherwise, Pakistan didn't really wanted Bangladesh to be separated from itself in 1971.That's the reason British didn't wanted to leave India separated just as they were about to leave, but I think they could never understand the true situation of India from the eyes of a Muslim. P.S I think you should at least adress Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah by any part of his name, he at least deserves that much respect. (A man who would be dying of tuberclosis ? Sounds very rude ...)
