they who were responsible for the birth of Mao-se-Tung as the Chinese leader and the take over of that Sub-continent by his extremist Party. They should have learnt that the pillage and Concubinage by Chiang-Ki-Shek and his gang supported by American arms and money provided that nucleus seeds for the harvest that followed and the same feature repeated in every other Country where American surplus arms and produce found and easy engineered outlet aggravating the gulf between the few and the many. Despite initial denials it has now come to light, and the American Government is brazen enough to declare in the open, that American supply of arms has continued and will continue despite the dismay of India and the ridicule of the wide world to the pranks of this runway administration. USSR is on the fence. But one cannot quite predict how she will act. The Middle Eastern countries, whether Iran, Turkey or others continue supplying massive arms to the Army Junta of West Pakistan. They are utterly indifferent to the fact that West Pakistan is using all these to suppress the natural urges of a predominant Muslim population in Bangladesh which holds the major populations of the erstwhile country known as Pakistan. The conclusion seems irrefutable that all these actions are being dictated by arbitrary powers to foster and perpetuate arbitrary authority based on the Army and the monopoly capitalists in Pakistan.
It will be appropriate here to analyze how and why all this should have happened in a part of the erstwhile United India when the other part-the India Union with nearly four times the population of Pakistan -can forge ahead with the struggles for a democratic way of life for her future. The British colonial power took over the reigns of India in the late 18th century from a decayed, fragmented Mughal Empire. The British Bolstered up the Hindus at the virtue of the Muslima. A new spurt of life and a renaissance followed amongst the Hindus by virtue of the preferential treatment meted out by the ruling power. The Ilindu revolt began towards the end of the 19th century. The Imperial policy changed to convert Hindus and Muslims who had begum to live as common citizens of a common land during Akbar’s regime, as rivals to each other. Gandhiji managed to weld all the communities of India under one banner for national crusade against colonial domination. After a scrics of engineered communal flare ups in the country Jinnah was put up as the ideal instrument for dividing the Hindus and Muslims in the infamous theory of Hindus and Muslims being two nations. Left to themselves the political differences would have been resolved in time. But The leaders at the helm of the movement had already been tired out. They also had some taste of power. The Colonial British power had been weakened beyond any hope of recovery after World war The opportunity was seized by the leaders to secure Independence from the British power which was only too eager to get out from what they fore saw would soon follow if they did not. To the consternation of Jinnah India was divided into Pakistan and India. Union despite the helpless cries against it by the Mahatma. The Mahatma paid the price for his acquiescence over this monstrosity. The country saw the giant two-way exodus-an up rooted humanity Muslims towards Pakistan and non-Muslims towards India.
The twenty four years of the existence of Pakistan have had many a lesson to offer to which we could turn a blind eye only to our peril as a nation. The departing British power who partitioned India with the covert objectives of action the umpire between who warring brothers as they did during the late part of British rule, has already Suffered a rude jolt.
