How Indian Communists Helped the Muslim League to Carve out Pakistan

Communism kept India economically impoverished. Communism generationally bred Sarkari rent-seekers and kleptocrats. Communism fuelled the lucrative careers of third-rated, anti-Hindu plagiarists like Salim and Javed. Communism  transformed India into a quasi-satellite state of the erstwhile USSR. Communism created five generations of traitors. Communism denied Hindus their birthright to reclaim the Sri Rama Janmabhoomi.

But what is lesser-known is the story of how Communists had supplied intellectual and other arsenal to the Muslim League, thereby enabling it to carve out Pakistan.

In his brilliant Perversion of India’s Political Parlance, Sri Sita Ram Goel narrates this story in his typical no-holds-barred style. It begins with the slow and deliberate infilitration of Communist agents into the Indian National Congress in the 1930s. The order for this infiltration came directly from the Soviet Union.

Here is the concluding Part of the Article published in our Issue of 1-15 January 2025.

Muslims Marched Towards Nationhood

The language of Communist imperialism had addressed itself to the communal problem quite early in its career in India. As early as 1922, MN Roy had appraised the Lucknow Pact of 1916 as a ‘coming together of the Hindu and the Muslim bourgeoisie in a common compact with British imperialism against the toiling masses’.

Later on, this language had characterised the Muslim League as a ‘close preserve of feudal interests in confronation with the capitalist Congress’. Still later, the communal problem had been explained away as a ‘competition for jobs between the Hindu and the Muslim petit-bourgeoisie’.

But all this looked like groping in the dark when the full light dawned some time later. The language of Leftism started presenting the Muslims as ‘poor peasantry and proletariat exploited and oppressed by Hindu landlords, moneylenders and capitalists’. It was now proclaimed that the confrontation had an economic character. It was a class conflict.

The consequences were far reaching. Henceforward, Hindus were expected to hang their heads in shame. Quite a few of them did start showing a guilt-complex and indulging in breast-beating.

On the other hand, Muslims became armed with an unprecendented degree of self-righteousness. In the new climate, it was a privlege to be known as peasantry and proletariat. The vocal section of Muslims, particularly their press, started becoming more and more aggressive. Their cause, they said was eminently just and it was upto Hindus to show some fair-play.

Meanwhile Aligarh professors and Muslim comrades in the Communist Party had come out with a new thesis about the progressive role of Islam in Indian history. Islam, in their opinion, had brought with it a message of equality and human brotherhood. The ‘caste-ridden and hierachical Hindu society’ could not absorb that message and thus free itself from a moribund social system mainly because ‘the Brahmins saw in Islam a threat to their privileges and profits’. MN Roy endorsed this thesis in 1939. […]

The stage had thus been fully prepared for the climax which came in 1942-43. The Communist Party of India started quoting chapter and verse from the masters, Lenin and Stalin, in order to prove that India, like pre-revolutionary Russia, was seething with a number of submerged nationalities – Andhras, Assamese, Bengalis, Gujaratis, Kashmiris, Malayalis, Marathas, Oriyas, Pathans, Punjabis, Sindhis and Tamils. Each of these had a right of its secede from the Indian federation and set up a sovereign state of its own.

And as the people in Assam and Bengal in the east and Punjab, Sindh and North-West Frontier Province in the west were predominantly Muslim, they could set up a separate federation of their own and call it Pakistan. The Hindus and Sikhs in these provinces had to learn to love the Muslims with whom they shared a common culture.

… a number of Communist Scholars equipped the Muslim League with a lot of statistics and endless casuistry. So far, the League had been strong in bluster but weak in self-confidence while pleading its case for hurling at the Hindu communalists.

The language of Leftism had worked a miracle. The Congress Socialists, Forward Blocists and some other Leftist groups and factions parted company with the Communists over the Quit India movement and the question of Pakistan. But they continued to share with the Communists the language of Leftism so far as Islam and Indian nationalism were concerned.

The spectre of ‘Hindu communalism’ has never ceased to haunt them. Nor has their love for Islam and Muslims suffered any loss even after all Hindu Leftists have been hounded out of the Islamic state of Pakistan. The love for Islam and Muslims has been labelled as secularism in the post-Independence period.

Postscript

And that is how the Communists aided and abetted the Muslim League, which successfully sliced a good part of undivided Bharatavarsha and called it Pakistan.

The Communists have all but disappeared today in their original form. However, they have reorganised and morphed into hundreds of federated and interlinked groups working towards the same purpose – of Balkanizing what remains of India. And just as they had the support of the USSR and China back then, they today have powerful international sponsors such as George Soros.

The Sources of Leftist Language

Leftist professors and publicists claim that their language got formulated in the course of India’s fight for freedom from British rule. They also claim that this language was used in the field at various stages of the struggle for freedom. This is a plain and a big lie.

The annals of that freedom struggle provide no evidence that this language was used in India’s politics till the late thirties of this century. Some prominent words of this language were totally absent from India’s political parlance prior to that time. Some other words which we do find in that parlance were used to convey meanings that were entirely different from the meanings they acquired at a later stage. And even when these words became current in their present-day sense their consumption was confined to a small Leftist coterie inside and outside the freedom movement. It was only after the attainment of Independence that this parlance spread like a plague, particularly during the period when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru dominated the Indian political scene.

The record has, therefore, to be put straight. We have to go back to the actual political parlance which obtained in this country at different stages of the struggle for freedom. In the process, we shall discover not only the stage at which Leftist language was interpolated into India’s parlance but also the source from which this language was smuggled.
