Boko Haram admits abducting Nigeria girls from Chibok

[The Magistrate]

52. That Was A Hard Case, Sir

Partition of India can certainly be seen as a mistake, and was beyond doubt a lethal policy in the event, but whether a decision to break Jinnah's Moslem League would have turned out better, or even have been possible in the circumstances actually obtaining in '47 ( in particular with reference to what English military forces actually would have been capable of ), is hard to state with any certainty. A lot of people were going to get killed, and killed brutally: changing the course would only have changed who it was died hard, I suspect. I think more of the blame lies with the League than the Congress for having worked things to the pitch they were at, and I think the English gave the League too much leeway, owing to the disproportionate number of soldiers in the India Army and other colonial forces who were Moslems.
