.....within reason.

Should we consider this thread started, or should one of us write a foundation post?

Why do I find this constant harping on the idea of 'partition in general'? There was no general agreement. One side forced its stand on the colonial rulers and the other side; the other side, the Congress, gave in because they had found the League impossible partners when the two parties formed...

All the rest to Wait till tomorrow, please. Very late for a 70+ year old.

Many thanks, @Nilgiri @LB08 @Afif We can continue here. @Marlii Want to join in?

It's a long story.

You are right, and Sher-e-Bangal's idea was taken up by the trio of Sarat Bose, Kiron Roy and Suhrawardy. Jinnah was fed up and told Suhrawardy to go and do what he liked. It was then that fate intervened, and the Congress leadership listened to the demands, of all people, the Hindu Mahasabha...

Oh, those. '...who spread hate...' was fine. I am quite happy with that.

Could that be in English, please?

@Nilgiri keeps ambushing people with these. At other times, he ambushes hapless clients with CFD findings.

No, AFAIK, right on target. The state may have its own prosecution apparatus - I am a little uncertain about this, as there are elected district attorneys who are not part of the federal department of justice. So in effect, state laws and regulations have a parallel structure, with a...

Possibly. I hated most members, Pakistani or Indian, who spread hate.

I managed to hold on for quite some time, part because my philosophy was that I should discuss only the Indian condition or the interactive India-Pakistan relationship as a composite relationship, part because bhakts assaulted me and it is difficult to attack someone from two directions, part...

Sure. Please just let me know which it is to be, and where. Remember also that I am as nimble as a 300,000 MT displacement super-tanker, and will need to be given space and time to achieve the new course.

Emphasis on the sound consistency of rules. I had a difficult debate with Dalit on PDF a few hours ago, explaining that there was no point his/their complaining about Indian Hindutva trolls, not even to an audience like me, with my well-known pre-disposition, when they treated all Indians like...

I am still bewildered at how, and why, this happened. Which idiot would knowingly drive away the asset he was? Unbelievable.

I find myself unable to resist the observation that you were growing by inches earlier, you are growing by feet now! :giggle:

Would be delighted to discuss these, separately, and in interaction with each other, with you and any others who might be interested. Not just this minute, but, yes, soon.

Both @Merzifonlu and you make a lot of sense. I think it is too close to current developments to come to any satisfactory conclusions, but these views provoke thought and make us aware of what we need to do, ourselves, here. Obviously, this will reward further exploration, but we should allow...
