Mahatma Gandhi wanted to undo the partition & unify India. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel & Maniben Patel were the last people who had a talk with him between 4 pm & 5 pm on the day Gandhi was assassinated. Patel recalled later, “Before he died, I had a heart-to-heart talk with him for an hour. I know with what feelings in his heart he left this world! I know what he wanted. He never accepted partition, but he did not wish to upset it, except in his non-violent fashion. After settling things in India and making India secure for minorities, he wanted to go to Karachi to persuade the Muslims there to take back the Hindus and Sikhs and then unsettle the partition. He thought that partition was basically wrong. That was why he was appealing to Hindus and Muslims in India to come together.”
