Precis 1990..Please evaluate my attempt.
1. Write a Precis of the following passage and suggest a suitable title: 25
Not all the rulers signed the Instrument of Accession at once. Afraid that the Socialist Congress Party would strip him of his amusements, flying, dancing girls and conjuring delights which he had only just begun to indulge since he had only recently succeeded his father to the throne, the young Maharajah of Jodhpur arranged a meeting with Jinnah. Jinnah was aware that both Hindu majority and geographical location meant that most of the Princely states would go to India, but he was gratified by the thought that he might be able to snatch one or two from under Patel’s nose. He gave Jodhpur a blank sheet of paper. ‘Write your conditions on that’ he said, 'and I’ll sign it’ Elated, the Maharaja returned to his hotel to consider. It was an unfortunate- move on his part, for V. P. Menon was there waiting for him. Menon’s agents had alerted him to what Jodhpur was up to. He told the young ruler that his presence was requested urgently at viceroy’s House, and reluctantly the young man accompanied him there. The urgent summons had been an excuse, and once they had arrived, Menon had to go on a frantic search for Viceroy, and tell him what had happened. Mountbatten responded immediately. He solemnly reminded Jodhpur that Jinnah could not guarantee any conditions he might make, and that accession to Pakistan would spell disaster for his state. At the same time, he assured him that accession to India would float automatically mean end of his pleasure. Mountbatten left him alone with Menon to sign a provisional agreement. The Maharajah of Jodhpur, fearing to be derived of his luxuries yet relieved that he was not alone not to sign Instrument of Accession,felt delight when Mr.Jinnah asked him for accession on terms of his choice.Knowing everything,Menon took the Maharajah to Mountbatten on the pretext of urgent meeting.Mountbatten alarmed the Maharajah of the consequences of siding with Jinnah and assured him of the continuance of his sensuous lifestyle thus propelling the Maharajah into signing the Instrument with Menon. |
