The document discusses the ideas of Sri Aurobindo regarding Akhand Bharat, spiritual nationalism, Hindu-Muslim relations, and the partition of India. Some key points: 1) Sri Aurobindo believed in the spiritual and cultural map of Akhand Bharat (undivided India) and that unity would eventually be achieved despite political divisions. 2) He saw each nation as having a collective soul destined to develop certain qualities like spirituality for India and emotional force for Russia, for the benefit of humanity. 3) Sri Aurobindo felt the communal division into Hindus and Muslims hardened into a political partition but it should only be a temporary solution, and unity must be

1. Akhand Bharat
Spiritual and cultural map of Akhand Bharat
It is the map of the true
India in spite of all
passing appearances,
and it will always
remain the map of
the true India,
whatever people may
think about it.

3. Bharat Mata
• What is a Nation? The Shakti of Its Millions
• For what is a nation? What is our mother-
country? It is not a piece of earth, nor a
figure of speech, nor a fiction of the mind. It
is a mighty Shakti, composed of the Shaktis
of all the millions of units that make up the
nation, just as Bhawani Mahisha Mardini
sprang into being from the Shakti of all the
millions of gods assembled in one mass of
force and welded into unity. The Shakti we
call India, Bhawani Bharati , is the living
unity of the Shaktis of three
hundred million people;

9. Sri Maa
Mother, I was asking... (laughter) You said that
India was free in 1915, but was she free as
she is free now? Because India is not free as
one whole. She is broken up.
Oh! Oh! that’s what you wanted to know.
That... the details were not there. No, there must
have been a possibility of its being
otherwise, for, when Sri Aurobindo told
them to do a certain thing, sent them his
message, he knew very well that it was
possible to avoid what happened later. If
they had listened to him at that time, there
would have been no division.
Consequently, the division was not decreed, it
was a human deformation. It is beyond
question a human deformation.

5 DREAMS

11. 14 August 1947
SRI AUROBINDO
• “But the old communal division into Hindus and
Muslims seems now to have hardened into a
permanent political division of the country. It is
to be hoped that this settled fact will not be
accepted as settled for ever or as anything more
than a temporary expedient. For if it lasts, India
may be seriously weakened, even crippled: civil
strife may remain always possible, possible even
a new invasion and foreign conquest. India’s
internal development and prosperity may be
impeded, her position among the nations
weakened, her destiny impaired or even
frustrated. This must not be; the partition must
go. Let us hope that that may come about
naturally, by an increasing recognition of the
necessity not only of peace and concord but of
common action, by the practice of common
action and the creation of means for that
purpose. In this way unity may finally come
about under whatever form—the exact form
may have a pragmatic but not a fundamental
importance. But by whatever means, in
whatever way, the division must go; unity must
and will be achieved, for it is necessary for the
greatness of India’s future.”

12. 15 August 1947
Dr Rajendra Prasad
“The country, which was
made by God and Nature
to be one, stands divided
today. Separation from
near and dear ones, even
from strangers after some
association, is always
painful. I would be untrue
to myself if I did not at
this moment confess to a
sense of sorrow it this
separation”

13. 15 August 1947
S Radhakrishnan
“Now that India is divided, it is our duty not to
indulge in words of anger. They lead us nowhere. We
must avoid pass-on Passion, and wisdom never
go together. The body politic may be divided
but the body historic lives on. (Hear, hear.)
Political divisions, physical partitions, are
external but the psychological divisions are
deeper. The cultural cleavages are the more
dangerous. We should not allow them to grow.
What we should do is to preserve those cultural
ties, those spiritual bonds which knit our
peoples together into one organic whole.
Patient consideration, slow process of
education, adjustment to one another's needs,
the discovery of points of view which are
common to both the dominions in the matter of
Communications, Defence, Foreign Affairs, these
are the things which should be allowed to grow
in the daily business of life and administration. It
is by developing such attitudes that we can once
again draw near and gain the lost unity of this
country. That is the only way to it”.

22. Voice of the Constituent Assembly
• 1 Historical process of assimilation.8
Dec1948
• The Indians owned Babar, Humayun
and Akbar to the extent they
indentified themselves with India –(
21 July 1947)
• The lands of our country have
witnessed invasions and dissensions.
Yet they have assimilated into the
idea of India everyone who sought
their providence, whether they came
as merchants, travellers or as
conquerors. (Ayodhya Judgement )
• दारा लसखों िी आत्मा िा पुनजुन्म
और औरंगजेब ि
े जजन्न िो बोति में
बंद िरना अखंड भारत िी मांग
है। भारत बोध में दारा लसखों िा

बहुत महत्िपूणु है।
