Read the following passage
and answer the Question Nos. 13 to 18 :
The decisive shift in
British Policy really came about under mass pressure in the autumn and winter
of 1945 to 46 – the months which Perderel Moon while editing Wavell’s Journal
has perceptively described as ‘The Edge of
a Volcano’. Very foolishly, the British initially decided to hold public
trials of several hundreds of the 20,000 I.N.A. prisoners (as well as
dismissing from service and detaining without trial no less than 7,000). They
compounded the folly by holding the first trial in the Red Fort, Delhi in
November 1945, and putting on the dock together a Hindu, a Muslim and a Sikh
(P.K. Sehgal, Shah Nawaz, Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon). Bhulabhai Desai, Tejbahadur
Sapru and Nehru appeared for the defence (the latter putting on his barrister’s
gown after 25 years), and the Muslim League also joined the countrywide protest.
On 20 November, an Intelligence Bureau note admitted that “there has seldom been
a matter which has attracted so much Indian public interest and, it is safe to
say, sympathy … this particular brand of sympathy cuts across communal
barriers.’ A journalist (B. Shiva Rao) visiting the Red Fort prisoners on the
same day reported that ‘There is not the slightest feeling among them of Hindu
and Muslim … A majority of the men now awaiting trial in the Red Fort is
Muslim. Some of these men are bitter that Mr. Jinnah is keeping alive a
controversy about Pakistan.’ The British became extremely nervous about the
I.N.A. spirit spreading to the Indian Army, and in January the Punjab Governor
reported that a Lahore reception for released I.N.A. prisoners had been
attended by Indian soldiers in uniform.
