Sardar Patel's Role Following Partition

1. Sardar Patel Role after Partition World War II was over in the summer of 1945. This was also when India’s leaders were freed, held since 1942 as part of their Quit India call. Two years later, Prime Minister Attlee announced in London on February 21, 1947, that Indian power would be transferred to British hands. He stated that Mountbatten would take over as Viceroy of India from Wavell and help to plan Britain’s exit. Congress leaders Sardar Patel, Nehru and president Kripalani, and Jinnah (president), Liaqat, Nishtar and Nishtar, leaders of the Muslim League, Liaqat, Nishtar and Nishtar, gave their consent to Mountbatten’s plan for independence. This plan was made public on June 3. The AICC ratified the plan signed by Kripalani, Nehru, and Patel. King George VI signed the Indian Independence Act on July 18. It contained many of the plan’s most important features.

2. This Act gave power to two Constituent Assemblies that had been activated at the time. One for Pakistan and Bangladesh today, the other for post-Partition India. The option for princely states to join one of these areas was available. This is all well-known. However, some popular ideas about 1947 and those who supported or opposed Partition need to be dismantled. It is completely false to claim that the two-nation theory was accepted by 1947. Nehru, however, greeted free India at mid-August midnight with his Tryst with Destiny speech. It was an India for all and not a Hindu India. Jinnah spoke of a Pakistan that was not Islamic in the speech of August 11, 1947. Despite Pakistan’s rapid “religious” journeys, the Indian Constitution was finalized in 1949 and emphasized the equality of all Indians, regardless of their religion. False is also the current chatter that Gandhi was pro-Muslim and Nehru vulnerable to the “magics of Lord and Lady Mountbatten”. Patel’s transformation from being against Partition to accepting it enthusiastically has been described in many accounts, including my 1990 biography of the Sardar. Patel was in favor of the separation of Pakistan by December 1946, nine months before the 1947 Partition. Separation would allow vast India to continue to have a strong central administration. It would also eliminate the League’s ability to block.

3. After violence against Sikhs, Hindus, and other people in Punjab’s western Punjab, Congress Working Committee adopted a resolution, Kripalani as the chair, calling for the division of Punjab into two halves. A West Punjab with Muslims predominating, and an East Punjab in which Hindus and Sikhs outnumber Muslims.
