Sri Aurobindo: British divide-and-rule policy
THIS IS INTERESTING...
OCTOBER 7th 1940:
Sri Aurobindo ridiculed this as escapist myth-making. When a disciple said that:
Quote:
'"it is because of the British divide-and-rule policy that we (Hindus and Muslims) can't unite"
Aurobindo replied:
"Nonsense! Was there unity in India before the British rule?"
But now since our national consciousness is more developed there is more chance of unity
if the British don't bolster up Jinnah and his Muslim claims.
Does Jinnah want unity?...What he wants is Independence for Muslims
and if possible rule over India.'

Sri Aurobindo (1872 – 1950) was an Indian philosopher, yogi, guru, poet, and nationalist.
His influence has been wide-ranging. In India, S. K. Maitra, Anilbaran Roy and D. P. Chattopadhyaya commented on Sri Aurobindo's work. Writers on esotericism and traditional wisdom, such as Mircea Eliade, Paul Brunton, and Rene Guenon, all saw him as an authentic representative of the Indian spiritual tradition.
