Vain Search for Agreement

Government in the series of collections of documents on the constitutional relations between Britain and India have been coming out every year since their publication began and have become something of an annual treat for the students of that period. In this latest volume we find a day-by- day and sometimes an hour-by-hour account of the interviews held by the Cabinet Mission with the Indian .leaders. Regretfully, we have yet to acquire a graphic record of the discussions between Indian leaders themselves because neither the Congress nor Muslim League leaders kept any detailed records or at any rate, have not published them. All that we have are the works of V P Menon, Sudhir Ghosh and of course the memoirs of Pyarelal, besides the few others.
