I like dissent when it is presented in an intelligent and lucid manner. <BR/><BR/> You are using an illustrious name, one of the Gracchi of the Roman Republic.<BR/><BR/>I inherited a large drawing made in the Baroque period in Rome. It features Cornelia showing off her two 'Jewels" Gaius and Tiberius"<BR/><BR/>There are several schools of thought regarding the tragic partition of India. Since I was a child both Indian Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs as well as Parsees of prominence have always held to the belief that Ali Jinnah was uncompromising and unbending. <BR/><BR/>Gandhi had several hunger strikes to ensure that Muslims and Hindus would stop killing each other.<BR/><BR/> The tragedy of War is that supposedly one side begins a genocide and the other side finishes it. I do not see any real Victors in any war except those who manufacture the armaments and those financiers and bankers who finance both warring sides.<BR/><BR/>Please come and visit again.<BR/><BR/>I have written an essay on the Ides of March. <BR/><BR/>Grazie di nuovo.<BR/><BR/>Contessa Isabella VacaniContessa Isabella Vacanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353575283269950315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159624446417849712.post-91272778456111806652008-05-22T11:57:00.000+02:002008-05-22T11:57:00.000+02:00I am afraid it is not accurate to that Jinnah - wh...I am afraid it is not accurate to that Jinnah - who you've rightly described as erudite and elegant man- had visceral hatred for Hindus.<BR/><BR/>Jinnah is still the only politician in South Asia to be known as the best ambassador of Hindu Muslim Unity.<BR/><BR/>Nor did he want partition of India. It was the intansigence of Gandhi (read his collected works) that forced the most secular of Indian politicians to choose Pakistan.<BR/><BR/>Jinnah chose a Hindu as his law minister specifically to ensure that Hindus would remain in Pakistan. <BR/><BR/>Also the violence - from all accounts- started in Gurdaspur in India where Muslims were subjected to genocide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
