British Raj 1940: Sri Aurobindo - Hindu-Muslim Unity Myth

 

We are often told the British created divide and rule. Turning Hindus and Muslims against each other. Indian History and Sri Aurobindo state otherwise: Page 230: '"it is because of the British divide-and-rule policy that we (Hindus and Muslims) can't unite" Aurobindo replied: "Nonsense! Was there unity in India before the British rule?" But now since our national consciousness is more developed there is more chance of unity if the British don’t bolster up Jinnah and his Muslim claims. "Does Jinnah want unity? ... What he wants is independence for Muslims and if possible rule over India. That is the old spirit.... But why is it expected that Muslims will be so accommodating? Everywhere minorities are claiming their rights. Of course, there may be some Muslims who are differ¬ ent, more nationalistic in outlook: even [Maulana] Azad has his own terms, only he sees Indian unity first and will settle those terms afterwards."
