(A) Meanwhile both Patel and Nehru went on All India Radio to appeal to the people not to think of revenge, but to carry the message of love and peace enunciated by Mahatama Gandhi. (B) But none of this happened. One immediate consequence of Gandhi's death was the patching of potentially disastrous rift between Jawahar Lal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel. (C) Darling's fears were shared by other Western observers who thought that India would go back to the pattern of the 18th century, when ts territory was carved up between dozens of small and large chiefdoms. (D) None of this would have been possible if Nehru and Patel had gone their separate ways, or if the intensity of Hindu-Muslim violence had continued unabated. Thus Gandhi's martyrdom assured the unity of India. (E) On January 31, 1948, Malcolm Darling wrote in his diary, 'Very difficult to say what will happen next...... Further disintegration seems inevitable......I wonder if sooner or later we will have to go back'. (F) This diminution of communal passions allowed Nehru, Patel and their colleagues to focus on giving the country a democratic constitution and lay the foundation of independent foreign and economic policies.
