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.
