On Pakistan¹

I don’t want Pakistan to endure, made perfectly clear. Division must go – does not mean that division must be allowed to last in some form or other. Continued partition of India into two Federations one Hindu and one Muslim even if somehow connected together is no part of my idea of the Union of India.

March 1949
