Perhaps...you have to understand that this movie wasn't shown anywhere in the Western world because of strong Indian Lobbying, imagine if it had showed what Muslims had to go through at the time of the Partition, it might be declared as 'Hate Material' towards the Hindus, by the Indian Lobbying. In fact, if I remember, correctly, Christopher Lee said that this was his most important role and lamented the fact that this was deliberately not shown in the West because they don't want others to know that the Muslims sported Great, Progressive Leaders too !
