    Nehru-Edwina
    Bal Thackeray attributed country's partition to what he called ‘love affair’ between Pandit Nehru and Edwina.

    Shiv Sena Chief Bal Thackeray attributed the country's partition to what he called ‘love affair’ between Pandit Nehru and Lady Edwina Mountbatten.

    "Lord Mountbatten took advantage of this madness and the country was ditched," Thackeray said in an interview carried by the party mouthpiece 'Saamana'.

    Responding to the question that Pakistan posed a danger to India, Thackeray said, "I had a film with me which portrayed this (Nehru-Edwina affair and creation of Pakistan).

    This film was banned in England as that country feared loss of face. This is patriotism."

    The cassette was given to him by the late Bollywood film maker Manmohan Desai, he added.

    Nehru-EdwinaBy: M.A.SASTRY | 14-Aug-2009 Reply | Forward I don't think there is any affair between Nehru and Edwina. Nehru must have spread this canard to prove his macho image.
    Gandhi was the main culpritBy: S.Ghosh | 25-May-2009 Reply | Forward In 1940 Gandhi has supported the idea of Pakistan. In 1943 he and Rajagopalachari drew a detail plan for the partition of the country. When Moutbatten arrived with the plan to partition India Gandhi said to him: " Have I ever disobeyed you!"Gandhi has refused to accept Fazlul Haque of Peasants and tenants party in 1939, all Muslim when Muslim League in Bengal was a tiny minority among the Muslims. Otherwise Bengal could not be partitioned. Gandhi refused Khan Abdul Gaffer Khan as well, otherwise NWFP has Congress majority. Gandhi refused Khan of Kalat of Baluchistan, who wanted to join India in 1947.Gandhi has forced the Congress Working Committe to obey Moutbatten, as Gandhi was a British agent. Nehru was his subordinate.
    Bal ThackerayBy: Anoop | 07-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward Man are by nature interested in more than one women. It does not mean that it interferes always with their work and responsibilities. India was lucky in having Nehru as it's first P.M. With all inherent follies he has given maximum contribution in the development of India than any other so called Indian neta. We were lucky in not having a person like Thackerey as P.M. from whom we do not accept other than hatred for the rest of Indians except marathas. What a shame!!

    Aunty Gossip againBy: Afzal Ahmed | 07-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward It was good the partition happened. We have only less HOT headed and illiterate people in this country now. Love should be the woed to spread and all will stand behind.
