“ The danger is that the frontiers between Pakistan and India that
are likely to emerge from the labours of the Boundary Commission,
however, satisfactory they may be from the standpoint of the
communities immediately affected, will be most unsatisfactory
from the point of view of India.
If my fears come true and the boundary drawn by the Commission
is not a natural one, it needs no prophet to say that its maintenance
will cost the Government of India very dearly and it will put the
safety and security of the people of India in great jeopardy. I
hope, therefore, that late as it is, the Defence Department will
bestir itself and do its duty before it is too late.”—(P. No. 357)
—Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
