Question Help in comprehending the Question
Paper 2002 – The Quaid-e-Azam was against the performance of “a surgical operation” on the provinces because such a step would be a dangerous proposition and would “let loose terrible forces”. In the light of the statement, discuss the division of the Punjab and Bengal.

Kindly evaluate the answer of this statement. What is the particular era being referred for the Partition of Punjab and Bengal? And what will be its answer? Just a clue would be beneficial to get the point as a whole.

I think the term "surgical operation" is being used as a metaphor for the demarcation of India and Pak (read "radcliff Award").

Era: just before partition and demarcation of boundaries

The idea behind Quaid-e-Azam's reasoning (in short) was that splitting Punjab and Bengal would give way for communal riots and aggravate the Hindu-Muslim animosity. Also the demarcation was unfair as India received major cities such as Calcutta (part of the original Bengal) yielding unfair distribution of wealth and industry - bad for Pakistan in its infancy.

As for the fact that this would "let loose terrible forces": well its true given the immediate riots and mass murders that took place soon after the partition.

This is my understanding. I could be wrong. Hope this helps
