This paper deals with the controversy on the issue
whether to appoint one Governor-General or to have two
separate Governors-General for India and Pakistan after their
achieving independence. The British, as well as the Congress
were hand in hand, therefore, they supported the proposal to
have one governor-general for both countries. The Muslim
League, however, decided to have a separate governor-general
for Pakistan. But the British authorities did not appreciate and
respect this decision by Quaid-i-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The reasons behind the League's decision were not fully
understood by the British. As a result some anti-Jinnah feelings
among some important British officials were created or
intensified. The British decision to allow Mountbatten to remain
in the sub-continent as the Governor-General of only one
Dominion and later some of Mountbatten's decisions as the
Governor-General of India, created misunderstandings in
Pakistan.
