The matter is now before the UNO. It cannot be withdrawn from there. But if India and Pakistan come to a settlement the big powers in the UNO will have to endorse that settlement. They will not object to the settlement. They themselves can only say that they will do their best to see that the two countries arrive at an understanding through mutual discussions.
My Fast as a Protest – Gandhi’s Speech on the eve of last fast-12/01/1948
Death for me would be a glorious deliverance rather than that I should be a helpless witness of the destruction of India, Hinduism, Sikhism and Islam.

Student’s Role in Nation Building-Jinnah at Dhaka University 24/03/1948
The State language therefore, must obviously be Urdu, a language that has been nurtured by a hundred million Muslims of this sub-continent, a language understood throughout the length and breadth of Pakistan and above all a language which, more than any other provincial language, embodies the best that is in Islamic culture and Muslim tradition and is nearest to the language used in other Islamic countries.

The story of the millions of refugees who had to flee from their homes across our borders and seek asylum in Pakistan is well known to you all.

Mahatma Gandhi, A Tribute By Acharya J B Kripalini-31/01/1948
Gandhiji always held that the rigour of the moral law required that one must magnify one's own faults and those of ones community and minimise the faults of others and of other communities.

Where there is Dharma ultimate victory is assured.

Agreement regulates the relations between India and Hyderabad-UK Parliament Debate-23/06/1948
We have no obligations at all in the matter. The right hon. Gentleman is quite wrong in thinking that. The question he put to me was whether we would offer our good offices. The purpose he has in mind is, of course, to get an agreed and peaceful settlement of the differences between India and Hyderabad. About that purpose the Government fully agree with him, but in our judgment it would not help to achieve it if we were now to make the offer which the right hon. Gentleman suggests
Report from British officials in India after assassination of Gandhi in 1948
Scarcely any important decision was taken without his prior advice whether the subject was the movement and rehabilitation of refugees, Congress policy or the Kashmir issue.

White Paper on Indian States-1948-Ministry of States GOI
The White Paper on Indian States issued on July 5, 1948, contained a survey of the developments in respect of States during the first year of the existence of the Ministry of States. During the period of a year and a half which has followed the issue of that White Paper, the policy of integration pursued by the Government of India has made further progress.

An outstanding development during this period has been the establishment of constitutional relationship between the Centre and the State of Hyderabad.

We are anxious to see these values effectively protected and we are agreeable that special arrangements be made for the Old City with its Holy Places. We would like to see this sacred zone beautified, so that worshippers coming from all parts of the world to Jerusalem will derive joy and inspiration from their pilgrimage.
