Valued Exposure: Eleven days before
August 15, 1947, Viceroy Lord Louis Mountbatten
(center), Jawaharlal Nehru (extreme left) and Mohammad Ali Jinnah
(right) prepare for the transfer of power from the British Crown. A
notional picture of a divided nation comprising India and Pakistan, as
distinct from the agglomeration of princely states and provinces
administered by the Raj, came into being during these deliberations.
Nehru represented the Indian National Congress while Jinnah stood for
the Muslim League, which demanded a separate sovereign state for
Muslims.
