Relevant here are the British views that endured and played a role in the British Liaison with the Muslim league and Jinnah and the later formation of Pakistan. When the British later handed their imperial baton to the US - the US took uop the same causes with enthusiasm. And now we have the Taliban. India need not worry about the Taliban. Pakistan and the Taliban are one and the same. India will deal with the Taliban as it has dealt with Pakistan. Only the US and the West need to worry. take a look at this: http://www.newstatesman.com/asia/2009/04/india-british-raj-pakistan > When Churchill argued vehemently against Indian independence in the 1930s, > his fire was directed mainly at the Hindus (in contrast, he praised > Muslims, whose valour and virility he admired).
