 | | The final months of the Rao-led government in the spring of 1996 were marred by several major political corruption scandals, which contributed to the worst electoral performance by the Congress Party in its history. | | | India's domestic politics also took new shape, as the nationalist appeal of the Congress Party gave way to traditional alignments by caste, creed, and ethnicity leading to the founding of a plethora of small, regionally based political parties. | | | India is now also seeking to strengthen its political and commercial ties with the United States, Japan, the European Union, Iran, China, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. |

| | Those reforms, introduced by the British in India resulted in what they called dyarchy, a system which meant that certain subjects were controlled in the provinces by the British and certain were given over to Indians who were introduced in the body politics of the provincial governments. | | | Yes, because when he failed as a nationalist, he wanted an India in which the Muslims would play a role, and this could only be if the Muslims were given weightage [a fixed proportion of legislative seats and jobs] in those places where they were not a majority. | | | Diwan Chaman Lal had made a fantastic speech, and after he had finished I was wondering how Sir Sikander could ever rise up to the occasion to reply to a speech of that very high standard. |

| | For Pakistan, the two nation theory implied that Muslims could not be adequately represented by a non-Muslim government, and Pakistan felt that therefore it had a legitimate standing to speak on behalf of all Muslims of what had been British India. | | | And even now, many Pakistanis do not believe that the breakup was a consequence of Pakistans domestic politics. | | | With the emergence of Bangladesh, the legitimacy of the claim of legitimate representation of Indian Muslims became even more questionable. |

| | IndiaDaily - Gandhi wanted Jinnah to be India's PM |
| | Perhaps the most intriguing speculation about recent Indian history and politics - in the wake of the furore surrounding remarks made in Pakistan by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader LK Advani - is what would have happened if Mohammmad Ali Jinnah had accepted Mahatma Gandhi's offer of being prime minister of undivided India. | | | Arguably, he did not believe in it as ardently as he claimed, for, otherwise, he would not have accepted the Cabinet Mission's plan for a federal India in which the Muslim-majority states of what is today Pakistan and Bangladesh would have been a part of the Union of India. | | | In arguing his case against the Congress's claim to represent all the communities in India, Jinnah floated his two-nation theory, which portrayed Hindus and Muslims as belonging to two separate "nations". |
