“50 gray shades of Nehru” 😂😂🤣🤣 …. Will never know why Gandhi made Nehru PM even though turki Nehru got 0 votes from CWC and Patel got 12/15 (3 absentee) 🤔

[@tryarunm]

Because Nehru was a pacifist. Gandhiji was afraid that Patel would resort to violence both in the freedom struggle, then against Jinnah and the Muslim League, then against the Indian princes who hesitated to allow their states to join the union. Of course, in the end Partition proved to be a bloodbath beyond anybody's wildest nightmares, but who is to know what atrocities the British might wrought against a violent insurrection had Patel called for one. Remember the unimaginable British retaliation after 1857? There would have been a Jallianwala Bagh every day in some or the other part of India.

[@MsHSpring]

What always puzzled me is, so many freedom fighters were beaten to death by the British or were hanged.. Yet Nehru and Gandhi were treated nicely and were allowed to read and write books and stuffs!.. Some say that the real reason for Indian independence is Subash Chandra Bose, and Nehru agreed with the British that Bose will be arrested and handed over to British!..

[@dianastevenson131]

The papers might also reveal influence of the USA on partition - there's one theory that they pushed it as they were keen to preserve their naval base in Karachi, so they supported and encouraged Jinna. The USA saw Nehru and Ghandi as too socialist and therefore impossible to influence. They Americans would not want this to be released.

[@aosaeanor]

Seems like Aug 15 is a farce. What really has meaning for India is January 26. "Dominions were autonomous communities within the British Empire which were 'equal in status' but had an 'allegiance to the Crown'. What it meant was that King George VI _continued to reign_ as the Emperor of India and Lord Mountbatten was the first Governor-General of the country. Nehru was sworn in as the premier, but served on the command of the British Governor-General, and Indian leaders were administered oaths in the name of the British King. What it also meant was that a British field marshall led the Indian army and judges appointed by the British _continued_ to be part of the high courts and the federal court.. It was *only on January 26, 1950, that the country was able to break free from the monarchy* and transform into a sovereign democractic republic after its constitution came into effect " Source : Indian Express

Lady Edwina Mountbatten was not just someone he met; she was a extremely rich heiress of 2 million pounds in 1921. Whereas Lord Mountbatten did not have any wealth of his own, when they got married in 1922 (aged 22 and 21 respectvely). She was probably holding the purse strings and was having open relationships right from begining of their marriage - long before Lord Mountbatten became Viceroy of India in 1947.

[@ianstobie]

What else was going on in the period covered by the diaries that the UK government may want to hide - 1947 and 1948? The marriage of the future Queen Elizabeth II took place in November 1947. She'd agreed in secret in 1946, but the engagement wasn't made public until she reached the age of 21. Mountbatten had been secretly plotting to get her married to his nephew, Philip (also from obscure Danish - Greek royalty), since he introduced them together when she visited Dartmouth naval college when she was aged just 13. Anyway, the King and Queen (later known as the Queen Mother) strongly opposed this relationship, but Mountbatten eventually triumphed. Princess Elizabeth became besotted with Philip and was able to finally win her parents' reluctant acceptance. So what might Mountbatten and his wife be saying to each other in this moment of triumph? Perhaps some details of the royal courtship and how the King and Queen were won over. Or perhaps some details about Philip that are still sensitive - he has just recently died. Also, to be charitable to the British government, they may just want to postpone publication of anything potentially distressing to the Queen herself, because she is now very frail. Of course the secrets may concern Indian independence, Nehru and the tragically botched Partition and rushed British military withdrawal. What the UK government might fear here is damage to relations with India. But holding the papers back also risks damaging relations with India. The Indian government and people have a legitimate interest in their own history! So I think if Indian diplomats start pushing for publication the calculation in London would change, and the UK government would release the papers and take whatever hit follows. That of course is if the secrets they are protecting concern India. If they instead concern the Queen's marriage then they won't release the papers till well after her death. If the diary revelations or letters concern both India and the royal marriage then I expect domestic politics will prevail, and India will have to wait.
