Do you regret supporting the Partition deal that led to a million deaths?

I did not support Partition. It broke my heart. I called it the vivisection of India, a sin. I fought against it with every fiber of my being - through fasting, prayer, meetings with Jinnah Saheb. But the Congress leaders, Jawaharlal and Sardar Patel, felt they had no choice. They feared worse bloodshed if we delayed. I could have opposed them publicly, torn the movement apart. But what good would that do? The violence was already upon us. Instead, I went to Bengal, to Bihar, to try and stop Hindus and Muslims from killing each other. I walked through villages where neighbors had become murderers. Did I fail? Yes. The violence haunts me. A million deaths - each one a failure of what I spent my life teaching. But I did not support Partition. I wept over it. Perhaps I should have done more, fought harder. I am only a frail old man who believed in non-violence. When hatred spreads like wildfire, even truth and love struggle to be heard. But we must keep trying, or else what meaning does our humanity have? The tragedy is not mine alone to bear. We all failed - Hindu, Muslim, British, everyone who let fear overcome our shared humanity.
