What was the composition of the electorate for these elections ?
References
The article was writtem with extreme bias. The division of India including the partition of Punjab officially took effect on August 15, 1947 as stated in the Indian Independence Act of 1947 passed by the Parliament of the UK. Furthermore, the breakdown of a coalition government in the Punjab in 1946 had nothing to do with the eventual division of India and was not evidence that a united India could not be stable. Coalitions can be formed and broken...they are not evidence of anything. In a parliamentary form of government, this was to be expected. The Congress Party won the NWFP in 1937 and in 1946 and had plenty of support from the Khan brothers for a United India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westwoodwizard ( talk • contribs) 17:20, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
I think it would be a good idea to split the very large section on the Punjab assembly election into another article. The election in Punjab contained many significant local factors such as the Unionist Party, and thus really should be split, with a concise summary and wikilink to the new article here. -- RaviC ( talk) 21:16, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Kautilya2018, you write Unhelpful vile edits removed. Hindu Mahasabha believed in a unified Hindu Rashtra and so did Muslim league believed in a separate Muslim state! Why this fact, known by the whole world, is being removed from this page again and again? On the contrary, Hindu Mahasabha is being described as a party that fought on "militant" Hindu platform! When sharing facts, personal adjectives should be avoided that clearly shows the editors hidden vile intent!
Which edits are you referring to? The "militant Hindu platform" description appears in a sourced statement. Have you checked the source? Do you have any alternative sources that contest such a description? -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 12:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
The Hindu Mahasabha Party, whose platform is one of militant Hinduism, was completely annihilated, losing all the 18 seats which it contested.
@ Samee: I was surprised to see you support these POV edits. The "united and self-governing nation" is from 1919. Nobody knows if that is what campaigned for in 1946. In fact, Prabhu Bapu says:
In this period, the Mahasabha broadly represented the politics of moderate Indian nationalism and shadowed the Congress by adopting the goal of achieving India's freedom...
and the book covers only up to 1930. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 15:03, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
