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.
