Eleven days before August 15, 1947,
Viceroy Lord Louis Mountbatten (center), Jawaharlal Nehru (extreme left)
and Mohammad Ali Jinnah (right) prepare for the transfer of
power from the British Crown. A notional picture of a divided
nation comprising India and Pakistan, as distinct from the
agglomeration of princely states and provinces administered by
the Raj, came into being during these deliberations.
Nehru represented the Indian National Congress while
Jinnah stood for the Muslim League, which demanded a
separate sovereign state for Muslims. Although the
British were in favor of a united Indian subcontinent and
the 1946 Cabinet Mission attempted to reach a compromise
between the Congress and the Muslim League, neither
Nehru nor Jinnah agreed to its proposal for a decentralized
state with power vested in local governments. August 14, 1947,
the dominion of Pakistan (which then included East Pakistan)
declared independence from the British Crown. At midnight the
following day, India followed suit with Nehru famously
heralding our tryst with destiny.
