Pandit Nehru: "All of us seem to be getting infected by refugee mentality, or worse still RSS mentality"
by Guest Fri Dec 06, 2013 6:02 pm
Nehru chided Mohanlal Saxena, Minister for Rehabilitation, who had ordered the sealing of Muslim shops in Delhi and the United Provinces: “All of us seem to be getting infected with the refugee mentality or worse still, the RSS mentality” (ibid, page 77).
In a confidential note to Cabinet Ministers on September 12, 1947, Nehru asked, “Are we to aim at or to encourage trends which will lead to the progressive elimination of the Muslim population from India, or are we to consolidate, make secure and absorb as full citizens the Muslims who remain in India? That, again, involves our conception of India; is it going to be, as it has been in a large measure, a kind of composite state where there is complete cultural freedom for various groups, but at the same time a strong political unity, or do we wish to make it, as certain elements appear to desire, definitely a Hindu or a non-Muslim state? If the Hindus think in terms of any domination, cultural or otherwise, over others, this would not only be against our own repeated professions, but would naturally displease other and smaller minorities in India” (S. Gopal and Uma Iyengar (Eds.) The Essential Writings of Jawaharlal Nehru; Oxford University Press, 2003; Volume I, page 165).
