Talks with Sri Aurobindo

Volume 1

10 December 1938 – 14 January 1941

24-25 December 1939

Purani: Sir Sikandar has gone to Bombay to see Jinnah, perhaps for some compromise between Congress and the League, and the Aga Khan also is starting for India. He too may try for some rapprochement.

Sri Aurobindo: It is no use unless they can get rid of Jinnah from the League.

Satyendra: The Sindh Premier is trying to get Congress support for his Ministry but the Congress refuses. He is very anxious and he remarks that the Congress is throwing him to the wolves, meaning the League. But the Congress hesitates to give any support for fear of alienating the sympathy of the people by taking sides.

Sri Aurobindo: It is a stupid folly of the Congress. By lending support they will, on the contrary, help the people.
