“Germs of separatism that the central leadership failed to contain”; “the way Congress Working Committee consented to Partition without consulting Gandhi”; and “the reason for the non-insistence of central leadership on having the Frontier Province with India” — these are some of the questions that will be investigated by a new centre for Independence and Partition Studies to be set up by Delhi University, according to a draft concept note issued by an eight-member panel set up by the university to oversee the upcoming centre.
The draft note, which has been reviewed by HT, and the ordinance that will govern the centre will be placed before the university’s academic council on May 26.Once approved by the academic council, the proposal will be reviewed by the executive council at a meeting on June 9.
