meditation on India is a tour de force' \ 'It is extremely important
and elegantly written'; a;r amtR* esn ele%nà 'Spirited, combative
and insight-filled.......... a splendid and timely book.'

yuegr r;jwnitk ent;edr sÁeN/ xÓIi%l¿n;in ile%ezn" The
poet and critic A.K. Ramanujan once wrote, 'One way of defining
diversity of India is to say what an Irishman is said to have said
about trousers. When asked whether trousers were singular or plural
, he said that trousers are singular at the top and plural at the
bottom. But Indian nationalism before independence was plural even
at the top, a dhoti with endless folds. Its diversity was
emblematically incarnated in the gallery of characters who
constituted the nationalist pantheon, a pantheon whose unageing,
cherub- like faces are still on display, painted with garish
affection, on calendars
and posters or moulded into just recognisable statues and figures in
tea-shops and cross- roads across the country.'

1942 open rebellion against British rule had, by and large, aroused,
as never before, the sense of patriotism in the Indians serving in
the British Indian army, Navy and Air Force. Till then they felt
they were no more than mercenaries. But now they felt like patriots.
my personal reaction naturally was one of elation because I felt
that if the British offer of freedom proved to be a hoax, the recent
RIAF and the present RIN protest actions were an indication that if
negotiations with Cabinet Mission would end in failure, the next
phase of India's struggle for freedom (with the military services
participating) would be final and colonial rule would be buried once
and for all.'

1942 I certainly did think since non-violence practised by most
Congressmen since 1930 had hardly made any impact on the British
colonialists' attitude towards the demand for Swaraj, I, rightly or
wrongly, came to the conclusion that non-violent action was not
enough and, therefore, had to be supplemented by more effective
action which could be described as violent. Yes, I was aware of
Gandhiji's disapproval of my encouragement to the RIN boys and at
the point of time I openly disagreed with him. Despite this long
span of time from 1946 to 1984, i.e., 38 years, I have no reason to
revise my views.

speech on the occasion, I appealed to the British to leave the

them........... The prestige of the authorities had been preserved
because our national leaders of all parties were prepared in the
interest of this country to endorse the call of the authorities. I
wonder whether this kind of victory (on the part of the authorities)
was worth having. The ratings who surrendered
in the interest of the country, I said, were actually the moral
victors of the struggle. Surely, I continued, the British Government
did not have to wait for another mutiny. They should go while there
was still some social stability and law and order left.'

have suggested in my book A Matter of Honour that whenever there was
a mutiny in the Indian armed forces, one could say there were three
causes- a general feeling of
unease and disquiet of political origin, some military grievance
about food or dress or pay and, finally, bad officers. In the years
leading up to the partition and independence, there was widespread
uncertainty about the political future and anxiety about affairs at

last three months have been anxious and depresing. They have been
marked by continuous and unbridled abuse of the Government, of the
British, of officials and the police, in political speeches, in
practically the whole of the Press, and in the (Central Legislative)
Assembly; by serious rioting in Bombay; by a mutiny in the RIN, much
indiscipline in the RIAF, some unrest in the Indian Army; by an
unprecedented drought and famine conditions over many parts of
India; by threatened strikes on the Railways and in the Posts and
Telegraphs; by a general sense of insecurity and lawlessness. It is
a sorry tale of misfortune and folly. Perhaps the best way to look
at it is that India is in the birth- pangs of a new order; that
birth-pangs are never pleasant and often dangerous; and that
sometimes the crude methods of Indian 'midwives' are notorious but
not always fatal.....'

cities had buried under its fallout much that man had cherised.
Along with it went the prevalent notions of imperial glory. In India
a new generation had grown by wearing the soldier's uniform and
exulting in the sound of gunfire. Most of them wanted the total
overthrow of the Raj. The means did not matter much. Nor were they
at that point of time in Indian history, yhe only ones to feel the
way they did. Other segments of the society were aiso similarly
inclined. But the (political) leadership would not have it. They
nipped what the young thought was the revolution in the bud. There
were reasons for such an attitude. The Mahatma, of course, was
dead-set against violence, whatever the cause. But his followers
were an old, tired lot in a hurry for freedom during their lifetime
at any price. It is true that the Mahatma wanted to give the British
another chance to prove their bonafides. If they failed, the Mahatma
intended to rally the country for another battle. He did not get
that chance. He had to accept the partition of the country, because
his lieutenants did not give him another choice. For once, and at
the most crucial and heart-breaking of times, everything went
against him. The leaders were a tired lot, veterans of many battles,
now turned old and impatient. It wwas natural; they were only being
human; above all, characteristically Indian. Their actions were in
total accord with the national character.'
