JINNAH AND INDIANS: AN ANALYSIS OF
INDIAN VIEWS ABOUT JINNAH
Sidra Jabeen Khan
ABSTRACT Indian’s scholars views Partition scenario Judgment about Jinnah Hypocrisy of Indians Eternal jealousy Continuous dogma Actual reason behind the hate
INTRODUCTION Creator of Pakistan Analyzed by many scholars True patriotic and charismatic way Judged: Insane and of no intellectual Great Caliber, Strong stamina Villain of History in India Seen behind the partition curtain Indian Historiography: agenda
personally
religiously
Politically
Three dimensions
POLITICALLY Roots of Indian Hatred V.N. Datta: Iqbal who blazed a trail that
Jinnah followed N.G. Rajurkar: Jinnah’s feelings were
hurt Statement to Mountbatten Bhimrao Ramji: Critically analyzed
Emerged on 1934, Master Tactician
Ideational unity
Congress as his adversary and nemesis
POLITICALLY Kanji Dwarkadas: defended, Congress
leaders fault Alan Compbell-Johnson: started an
offensive Maulana Azad: Jinnah was furious N.G. Rajurkar: permanently negative
attitude Jaswant Singh: Intransigent Jinnah
always been difficult to deal with
Ayesha Jalal
Too high a price to pay for Indian
unity
Arrangements for power
shareExploit the league’s
communal demands
“What Jinnah wanted was the
supreme arbitrator, a
representative of the crown,
who could assist both dominions”
POLITICALLY Mountbatten: couldn’t deny
that Jinnah played a poor hand of cards superbly
Army division, 1948 1st constituent assembly Last 13 months of British rule Tragic collapse of Jinnah’s
strategy Extraordinary capacity to
fight Triumphant hero in Pakistani
hagiography Wavell: very quiet and
reasonable
RELIGIOUSLY Ajeet Jawed: ate pork, drank whiskey,
seldom entered a mosque, ignorant of Islamic teachings
Rafiq Zakaria: could neither read the Quran, neither did say his prayers, nor fast
Example of Qazi Isa and Jinnah
PERSONALLY Jaswant Singh: liberal, electic and
secular to the core Wasn’t blessed by birth like Gandhi Hector Bolitho: source of power, cold
rationalist, potentially kind Jaswant Singh: 3 piece suit, lorgnette,
cigarette holder, King’s English
PERSONALLY M.C. Chagla: obsessive egoism, believed
in practical politics N.G. Rajurkar: wasn’t enamored of
Gandhi Ajeet Jawed: Nationalist, secularist,
constitutionalist Rafiq Zakaria: sat at feet of leading
British lawyers, art of oratory, oversensitive
March Hare of Alice in wonderland
PERSONALLY Mountbatten: advocate of the first order Jaswant Singh: with his death, an era of distinctive
politics came to an end, Lasting peace, amity and accord with India: wrong
CONCLUSION Hatred Fair basis Never be able to judge Reason for Jinnah’s demand Current situation of Muslims in India Still under slavery Selfless act Loyalty to nation Roots of hatred too deep Few drops in vast ocean
They paid the price..Across a world in flamesBut their own hate slewTheir own soul before
[any] victory came
Rudyard KiplingThe outlaws, 1914
