I cannot help recalling with regret how much of my time it has consumed when so much of my other literary work of greater importance to me than this is held up for want of it. I therefore hope that this second edition will also be the last I trust that before it is exhausted either the question will be settled or withdrawn.  \nThere are four respects in which this second edition differs from the first.  \n*[f1] The first edition contained many misprints which formed the subject of complaints from many readers as well as reviewers. In preparing this edition, I have taken as much care as is possible to leave no room for complaint on this score. ,The first edition consisted only of three parts. Part V is an addition. It contains my own views on the various issues involved in the problem of Pakistan. It has been added because of the criticism levelled against the first edition that while I wrote about Pakistan I did not state what views I held on the subject. The present edition differs from the first in another respect. The maps contained in the first edition are retained but the number of appendices have been enlarged. In the first edition there were only eleven appendices. The present edition has twenty-five. To this edition I have also added an index which did not find a place in the first edition.  \nThe book appears to have supplied a real want. I have seen how the thoughts, ideas and arguments contained in it have been pillaged by authors, politicians and editors of newspapers to support their sides. I am sorry they did not observe the decency of acknowledging the source even when they lifted not merely the argument but also the language of the book. But that is a matter I do not mind. Iam glad that the book has been of service to  \nIndians who are faced with this knotty problem of Pakistan. The fact that Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah in their recent talks cited the book as an authority on the subject which might be consulted with advantage bespeaks the worth of the book.  \nThe book by its name might appear to deal only with the X. Y. Z. of Pakistan. It does more than that. It is an analytical presentation of Indian history and Indian politics in their communal aspects. As such, it is intended to explain the A. B.C. of Pakistan also. The book is more than a mere treatise on Pakistan. The material relating to Indian history and Indian politics contained in this book is so large and so varied that it might well be called Indian Political What is What.  \nThe book has displeased both Hindus as well as Muslims though the reasons for the dislike of the Hindus are different from the reasons for the dislike of the Muslims. I am not sorry' for this reception given to my book. That it is disowned by the Hindus and unowned by the Muslims is to me the best evidence that it has the vices of neither and that from the point of view of independence of thought and fearless presentation affects the book is not a party production.  \nSome people are sore ","cbCaisRdpCBOTIfb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisRdpCBOTIfb","pdf",1511860,180,"English","# Preface to the Second Edition\n## Prologue\n## Introduction\n# Part 1: Muslim Case for Pakistan\n## Chapter I: What does the league demand?\n## Chapter II: A nation calling for a home\n## Chapter III: Escape from degradation\n# Part II - Hindu Case Against Pakistan\n## Chapter IV: Break-up of Unity\n## Chapter V: Weakening of the Defences\n## Chapter VI: Pakistan and communal peace\n# Part III - What if not Pakistan?\n## Chapter VII: Hindu alternative to Pakistan\n## Chapter VIII: Muslim alternative to Pakistan\n## Chapter IX: Lessons from abroad\n# Part IV: Pakistan and the Malaise\n## Chapter X: Social stagnation\n## Chapter XI: Communal aggression\n## Chapter XII: National frustration\n# Part V:\n## Chapter XIII: Must there be Pakistan\n## Chapter XIV: The problems of Pakistan\n## Chapter XV: Who can decide? \n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What does the preface say about differences between the second edition and the first edition?\",\"answer\":\"The preface states that misprints were corrected, Part V was added to include Ambedkar’s views, the number of appendices was enlarged, and an index was added.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author characterize the scope of the book beyond the Pakistan question?\",\"answer\":\"Ambedkar explains that the book analyzes Indian history and Indian politics in their communal aspects, aiming to clarify the foundation of the Pakistan case rather than only addressing the X.Y.Z. of Pakistan.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did the author expect mixed reception from different communities?\",\"answer\":\"Ambedkar notes that Hindus and Muslims disliked the book for different reasons, and he interprets this as evidence that the work does not serve as a party production and reflects independent thought and fearless presentation.\"}]","PAKISTAN OR THE PARTITION OF INDIA - Dr. B.R.
