and against whom are these Chinese Moslems going to render to the Islamic
brothers in India after the war? Against the Hindus and to prop up Pakistan?
The appointment of Sir Mohomed Zaffarulla Khan as Indian Agent
General in China under such circumstances bodes nothing but evil. He may
represent the pan-Islamic or Pakistani principles there as every dutiful
Moslem is expected to do.
A Mere Dream!
The Indian Moslems, who want to carve out a Western Pakistan from
Delhi to the Tribal regions, have openly declared more than once that they
would depend upon their co-religionists outside India from Afganistan to
Turkey. But they could not indulge in any such airy nothings, regarding the
support for their Eastern Pakistan to be constituted out of Bengal and
Assam. That is why they are trying desperately to forge a pan-Islamic line
between the Burmese and the Chinese Moslem groups and now that the
Chinese Moslems have promised them help after the war on the Eastern
side, they may very well build castles in the air hoping thereby to frighten
the Hindus in the East, too.
If that be so, I can only remind them that the Hindus have also some
trump cards in their hand. If it is feasible for the Indian Moslems to have a
united Chinese Moslem front on the East, whether cultural or political, then
it is at least as feasible, if not more, for the Hindus to have a united Hindu-
Buddhist front from Jammu to Japan. Just as the frog cannot but remain a
frog even if she jumps into the sea, so also the hopeless Indian Moslem
minority can never grow into a dominating majority, even if Mr. Woo woos
them with all the Chinese Moslems.
