-11- TOP SECRET
This the case with the Sikhs, who have left
the 'gardens' of the West Punjab for the
smaller and less fertile areas of the East
Punjab. If they are not contented in their
new homes, they will turn either Delhi-wards or
Lahore-wards - more probably the latter. In
that event it would be the Greek guerilla game
over again with India, backed by the Sikh States,
playing Russia's part.
(vi) The armed forces of both Dominions obey the
orders of their respective Governments.
(vii) The disturbances do not spread to those parts
of India which are still unaffected.
25. The only alternative to a truce is ultimate chaos and
anarchy throughout the North, and possibly throughout the
whole, of the Sub-Continent.
5th October, 1947
