Although I could not submit the ...Hello Mr. Singh,<br /><br />Although I could not submit the essay on time, I would like to seize the dais and mike to post my essay here. :)<br />------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Jinnah, from what I know - refused to be the Prime Minister when Nehru offered to step down in his favour. His demand for Pakistan stemmed from the fact that he was insecure - insecure of getting a bright and equal footing for Muslims in a secular republic that India aimed to be.<br /><br />Azim Khan was also not after the post of Prime Minister. But there is absolutely no similarity between him and Jinnah because he was not insecure. He wanted to assert the fact that he was an Indian and needed no tags like the first Muslim Prime Minister.<br /><br />He was aware of the fact that as in the universe, the ideal does not exist and he will need to leverage the vote bank advantage to reach a post from where he can significantly control the national policies. This was the only reason that he agreed to be the PM and did everything possible to retain it. <br /><br />There comes a tipping point when every well-meaning politician has a choice between compromising his morals to retain power for the greater good or to quit the fray. If that threshold is crossed, the end result is hypocrisy - where the person in power stoops to doing the same things which he resented fundamentally.<br /><br />Jinnah had noble intentions at the outset, but he failed to strive and wait for the bigger picture. His faith in one India was converted to disbelief too soon. Azim Khan was always about patience and courage - ready to sacrifice anything for his goal of a stable India.The litmus test was when his government was subjected to pressure from religious outfits and he refused to compromise - even for holding on to power/stability to put some good policies in place. <br /><br />A song from Dev Anand's CID plays in my head right now, "Apne pe bharosa hai to ek daav laga le".. Azim Khan put it into practice and emerged with a strong identity as a citizen of his nation while Jinnah put the future of 2 nations on daav and left generations striving to solve their identity crisis.<br /><br />Azim Khan is and will remain a proud Indian citizen!
