Meeting with the Leaders; Viceroy's house; June 2; 1947. Lord Mountbatten did his best to promote some friendly small talk; but it was clear that the atmosphere was electric. The problem of including Kripalani has been solved by conceding to Jinnah; Rab Nishtar; so the Big Five became the Big Seven. From Lord Mountbatten's left: Muhammad Ali Jinnah; Liaquat Ali Khan; Sardar Rab Nishtar; Sardar Baldev Singh; Acharya J.B. Kripalani ; Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru. At the back: Sir Eric Mi関ille and Lord Ismay.
