भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

and against whom are these Chinese Moslems going to render to the Islamic brothers in India after the war? Against the Hindus and to prop up Pakistan? The appointment of Sir Mohomed Zaffarulla Khan as Indian Agent General in China under such circumstances bodes nothing but evil. He may represent the pan-Islamic or Pakistani principles there as every dutiful Moslem is expected to do. A Mere Dream! The Indian Moslems, who want to carve out a Western Pakistan from Delhi to the Tribal regions, have openly declared more than once that they would depend upon their co-religionists outside India from Afganistan to Turkey. But they could not indulge in any such airy nothings, regarding the support for their Eastern Pakistan to be constituted out of Bengal and Assam. That is why they are trying desperately to forge a pan-Islamic line between the Burmese and the Chinese Moslem groups and now that the Chinese Moslems have promised them help after the war on the Eastern side, they may very well build castles in the air hoping thereby to frighten the Hindus in the East, too. If that be so, I can only remind them that the Hindus have also some trump cards in their hand. If it is feasible for the Indian Moslems to have a united Chinese Moslem front on the East, whether cultural or political, then it is at least as feasible, if not more, for the Hindus to have a united Hindu- Buddhist front from Jammu to Japan. Just as the frog cannot but remain a frog even if she jumps into the sea, so also the hopeless Indian Moslem minority can never grow into a dominating majority, even if Mr. Woo woos them with all the Chinese Moslems. —Mahratta, 29-5-42 ❑
