Drawing the Line

Text of the day: “This is what colonial powers do: put us into impossible situations. Suddenly, out of nowhere, comes another impossible, irreconcilable situation. And we, the oppressed, the occupied, are made to look unreasoning, and when we protest we are called extremists, religious fanatics, terrorists.” (Jinnah in Howard Brenton’s Drawing the Line)
