If, Sir, our minorities had really taken this stand, India’s history would have been different. After what has happened during the last two years, can we say that no minority took this stand? It is because a certain minority took this stand and said, “We do not want to be ruled by the majority. Go to hell.”, we had the tragedy of the last eighteen months. If Dr. Ambedkar was referring to India before 15th August 1947, I fail to understand him. How can he say that no minority stood for safeguards and said, ‘We do not want to be ruled by you’? It is because a certain organisation took the stand, “No safeguards. We do not want safeguards. We want a separate State.”, that ultimately Pakistan came into being and we had to witness the tragedy of the past eighteen months.
