If one looks at some educational institutions, at the time of partition, the education of lawyers changed, obviously, because there were two different jurisdictions from then on. It seems to have happened in other educational disciplines as well that the links between the educational establishments seemed to be completely eradicated after partition. I am not trying to put blame on university establishments. This is a national question, but in terms of educational establishments themselves, does Mr. Jones think that after partition, many of them decided not to look to the links across the Border, which they previously had?
