Nehru vetoed it by stopping Sarat Chanderbose in his tracks- Subhas’s younger brother was about to sign a deal with Suhrawardy committing Bengal Congress to an independent Bengal state.

So in 1971 Nehru’s daughter undid her father’s work and claimed that it was the end of Jinnah’s Pakistan. Infact it was a reaffirmation of the Lahore resolution – though regrettably through violence and loss of life. On that Sarmila Bose’s treatise makes interesting reading.

It is time to bury the hatchet…leave 1971 behind – look to the future.
