The origins of the separate electorate can be traced back to British India, when the foreign regime acquiesced to the demands presented by the Islamists to facilitate their communal agenda. The British Parliament's Indian Councils Act 1909, also referred to as the Morley-Minto Reforms, proposed the creation of distinct electorates for Muslims.
Many of the Muslim leaders in British-ruled India, who labelled Vande Mataram as some sort of ‘anti-Muslim’ or ‘Hindu nationalist’ song, ended up being the proponents of the separatist agenda that culminated in the creation of Pakistan. These Islamists not only derided Vande Mataram as idolatrous and anti-Muslim but also argued that the deification of the motherland amounts to ‘shirk’.
It was shocking that an attempt was made to assassinate Sardar Patel in a progressive and liberal state like Bhavnagar at that time. Had this attempt had been successful, Bhavnagar would have been blackened with national disgrace and the history or even the map of independent India would have been different.
The act of 'Partition', fuelled by the Muslim League and facilitated by the British in cahoots with the Congress party, stripped by maternal grandparents of their peace, stability and heritage.
The IUML, which Congress leader Rahul Gandhi once boasted of as a 'secular party', has described itself as "a political entity dedicated to safeguarding Muslim rights" in its petition filed before the Supreme Court.
The overall objective of this calculated falsehood is to convey that Muslims are 'overwhelmingly patriotic' and that Hindus must somehow be grateful to them for choosing India over Pakistan.
Incidentally, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi had back in 2001, taken a holy dip at the Kumbh Mela in 2001, when her Indianness was rightly being questioned, however, years after a long political career, Gandhi was neither seen at the 2007 Kumbh nor at the once-in-a-century Mahakumbh 2025.
