论甘地与印度的分裂

On Gandhi and the partition of India and Pakistan

甘地为印度的民族独立作出了独特的贡献 ,但他和穆斯林联盟及国大党大多数主要领导人一样 ,对于印度的分裂也应该负有一定程度的责任 ,因为他对于加速印度分裂的因素———真纳由民族主义者转变为种族主义者、穆盟势力的增强成长起了很大作用 ,在关键时刻没有利用自己在印度国民中的威望和影响尽可能避免分裂局面的出现。

Mahatma Gandhi had made unique contribution to the independence of India,but like other chief leaders of the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League,he should be to some extent responsible for the partition of India and Pakistan,because he had played an important part in the growth of factors which accelerated the partition,such as Jinnah's transformation from a nationalist to a communalist,the growth of the Muslim League,and not making use of his reputation and influence among the people to revert the trends of partition at the key moments.
