A couple of years after the Partition of the country, it
occurred to the respective governments of India and Pakis-
tàn that inmates of lunatic asylums, like prisoners, should
also be exchanged. Muslim lunatics in India should be
transferred to Pakistan and Hindu and Sikh lunatics in
Pakistani asylums should be sent to India.
Whether this was a reasonable or an unreasonable idea is
difficult to say. One thing, however, is clear. It took many
conferences of important officials from the two sides to
come to this decision. Final details, like the date of actual
exchange, were carefully worked out. Muslim lunatics
whose families were still residing in India were to be left
undisturbed, the rest moved to the border for the exchange.
The situation in Pakistan was slightly different, since almost
the entire population of Hindus and Sikhs had already
migrated to India. The question of keeping non-Muslim
lunatics in Pakistan did not, therefore, arise.
While it is not known what the reaction in India was,
when the news reached the Lahore lunatic asylum, it
immediately became the subject of heated discussion. One
Muslim lunatic, a regular reader of the fire-eating daily
newspaper Zamindar, when asked what Pakistan was,
replied after deep reflection: 'The name of a place in India
where cut-throat razors are manufactured.' 1
This profound observation was received with visible satis-
faction.
