DR BABASAHEB AMBEDKARS WRITINGS .

excerpts from Book: Pakistan or Partition of India , Chapter 4:Breakup of UnitY
"The realist must take note of the fact that the Musalmans look upon the Hindus as Kaffirs, who deserve more to be exterminated than protected.
The realist must take note of the fact that while the Musalman accepts the European as his superior, he looks upon the Hindu as his inferior.
It is doubtful how far a regiment of Musalmans will accept the authority of their Hindu officers if they be placed under them.
The realist must take note that of all the Musalmans, the Musalman of the North-West is the most disaffected Musalman in his relation with the Hindus.
The realist must take note that the Punjabi Musalman is fully susceptible to the propaganda in favour of Pan-lslamism.
Taking note of all these considerations, there can be very little doubt that he would be a bold Hindu who would say that in any invasion by Muslim countries, the Muslims in the Indian Army would be loyal and that there is no danger of their going over to the invader."
