My family survived the partition violence coming from East Punjab. We had to hide our young women in metal drums to protect them. I think anyone who had this experience would have plenty of stories to share. Alhamdulilah we got out early.
Vast, vast, vast majority of the civilian deaths and kidnapping victims were Muslim. There is even no comparison. Hindus and Sikhs were heavily armed, while Muslims had been made powerless, armless by the British. Actually weapons among Muslims were actively confiscated by the British and Hindu/Sikh employees before Partition even happened.
Mass rape, forced parading naked , and burning alive kidnapped victims was the Hindu/Sikh tactic after Partition happened. 1 million Muslims were butchered or abused in the worst way imaginable.
Their whole society engaged in the bloodbath of Muslims. This was the original sin of India. Everything we see now is the result of that normalized savagery.
