Life, October 9, 1944 At a prayer meeting Mohandas Ghandi, Leader of India’s 224,000,000 Hindus, announced the breakdown of talks between himself and Mahomed Ali Jinnah, leader of 94,000,000 Moslems.  Thus vanished all present hope for Indian unity and any possible united front for independence.  Chief disagreement: extent of Pakistan (proposed Moslem state in a country where Hindus predominate) which can be permitted without “Balkanizing” India.
