Main components of Communism in India responsible for partition in 1947<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1.<\/strong> The British Hand:<\/strong><\/p>\n

British masters who preferred to use the policy of divide and rule as per their need and convenience sowed the seed of Communism in India.<\/p>\n

Many communal parties like Muslim League had patronage of the government for a considerable period of time.<\/p>\n

The British used the League to counterpoise the rising nationalism and keep the emerging Muslim intelligentsia from joining the Nationalist Movement.<\/p>\n

The British also encouraged the League to approach the Muslim masses and assume their leadership. The idea of Pakistan was not new to the bureaucracy.<\/p>\n

After 1940, when the Muslim League had declared Pakistan as its goal, it received direct and indirect encouragement from the British Government.<\/p>\n

In their public utterances officials had harped on the differences, which divided Hindu and Muslim. British visualized a divided India although they continued to render lip service to the idea of unity.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Hindu Communism:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the blame for the culmination of Muslim Separatism in the demand for Pakistan must also go to certain Hindu organizations like the Hindu Mahasabha.<\/p>\n

In its early stages nationalists like Pandit Malviya and Lajpat Rai led the Mahasabha and its main object was to supplement and strengthen the Congress.<\/p>\n

But conservative and reactionary elements gradually assumed a dominant position in the Mahasabha and by 1937 under the leadership of V.D.Savarkar it propagated the doctrine of Hindu Rashtra.<\/p>\n

Hindu Communal nationalism was a reaction of Muslim Separatism and the bureaucratic patronage enjoyed by the latter.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> The Two-Nation Theory and Muslim Communism:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Muslim League from its very inception was a communal body established to look after the political rights and interests of the Muslim community alone.<\/p>\n

The Muslim demand for Pakistan was based on the two-nation theory. It developed between 1937an 1940.<\/p>\n

It was based on the fact that Hindu and Muslim follow different and distinct social orders. They belong to two different religions with distinct philosophies, social customs, literature’s etc.<\/p>\n

They neither inter-marry nor inter-dine together and, indeed they belong to two different civilizations. Their aspects and life are different.<\/p>\n

It is quite clear that Hindus and Mussalmans derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different heroes, different episodes.<\/p>\n

Very often the hero of one is the foe of the other and likewise their victories and defeats overlap.<\/p>\n

To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and one as a numerical majority must lead to growing discontent and final destruction of any fabric that may be built up for the Government of such a state.<\/p>\n
