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

you and Gandhiji in particular, keep ‘salaming’ saluting the newly, carved out Moslem Raj as ‘Pakistan’, which avowedly and literally means a Holy Moslem Land, a Moslem State? Is it not a fact that almost all states and nations are called after the names of what the League of Nations termed ‘National Majority’ predominating in each? Nor have you yourselves ever felt any qualm of conscience in recognising Baluchistan, Vaziristan, Afghanistan, Turkastan or the Turkish State as such, in spite of the presence of non-Moslem minorities there? How is it then that the very mention of the name of Hindusthan or the Hindu State alone takes your breath out, as if you were smitten by a snake bite? Bloodshed or? The only reason you have been so emphatically reiterating to defend your recognition of Pakistan as an Independent Moslem Raj in spite of all these objections to it, is to the effect that you were faced with the only alternative ‘bloodshed or Pakistan’ and so to avoid bloodshed, you were persuaded to accept Pakistan. Leaving aside, the fact that such a cowardly reason condemns your action more than defend it, we only ask, do you not thereby insinuate unwillingly enough that if but the Hindus too face you with a similar alternative bloodshed or Hindusthan, you will be persuaded to accept Hindusthan too with equal readiness? I warn the Hindu electorate categorically for the thousandth time that unless they remove these pseudo-nationalist leaders from the helm of our state, the Gandhistic Indianism will allow Moslems inside India to capture key posts in the army, the police, the state. These Moslems will rise from within as soon as the Pakistani forces invade India from North, East, West, South, as they are sure to do in near future, and taken ‘unawares’ as usual, this Gandhist Government of today will go down in no time and India will be converted by the Moslem conquest into an Akhand Pakistan. Warring Ideologies The choice, therefore, is not between two sets of personalities but between two ideologies, not Indian Raj or Hindu Raj but Moslem Raj or Hindu Raj, Akhand Hindusthan or Akhand Pakistan. The Hindu Sanghatanist ideology alone can, therefore, save our nation and re-establish an Akhand Hindusthan from Indus to the Seas. —Mahratta 25-9-47 ❑
