Danger
Signal (1947)
|
|
As
negotiations on the transfer of power continued through the early part
of 1947, it became increasingly evident that partition of the country
was seemingly inevitable. On May 6, in a last effort to change the
course of history, Gandhi met Jinnah in New Delhi. The meeting was
friendly, he said later, but Jinnah was "quite firm that the question of
Pakistan was not open to discussion." Gandhi is shown here hoisting a
danger signal to prevent India, a train, from derailing as the track
points in divergent directions.
