This is a rejoinder to suppressed histories.The role of minorities in India s struggle for freedom has been praise-worthy in every sense of the term. They played an immensely important role there. Unfortunately, however, that brilliant role does not occupy any meaningful space in our historical discourses. The present work corrects the distortion and draws the picture of the minorities role in India s freedom struggle in colours true to history. Almost all the minorities Muslims, Sikhs, Parsis, Christians, etc. have been given their due space here.

Leaders of the countrys freedom movement accepted partition of the Indian Sub-continent (albeit reluctantly) as the only solution to Hindu-Muslim problem under conditions then obtaining in the country. Pakistan drove out all Hindus and Sikhs and has, therefore, solved the problem once and for all times. India has sizeable Muslim population even after partition. This population has been steadily growing. The Hindu-Muslim problem remains far from solved so far as India is concerned. Mahatma Gandhi spent his life-time in solving the problem but failed completely. Will the small men who shout Gandhis name from the house-top succeed where the formidable Mahatma had himself failed? What are the implications of a second failure on the Hindu-Muslim front?
