,i Pakistan," according to hlm (Jinnah), "In a nutshell,
ls a demand for carving out of Ind.la a portion to be wholly
treated

as an independent and sovereign state . . . "

him, lndlvlslble India Is equally an article o! faith with me.
Hence there Ill •a stalemate."
-Oandhljl in Harljan,, 26-7-1942.
" I am told there 1s going to be a • bJg move.' This
threat and intimidation 1s intended to coetce a distressed
and shaken Britain to accede to 'Gandhi's demand. I can
