Question 11

Mention any two reasons why the Congress finally accepted the Partition of India.

Answer

The Congress finally accepted the Partition of India because of the following reasons-

  1. The large-scale communal riots that engulfed the whole country convinced all that the only solution to the communal problem lay in the Partition of India.

  2. The League had joined the Interim Government to obstruct and not to cooperate. Experience of working with the League had convinced the Congress that it could not have a joint administration with the League.
