How this border transformed a subcontinent | India & Pakistan

[dexter]

The British tasked Cyril Radcliffe with the job of drawing a line to separate Punjab and Bengal provinces from India into East and West Pakistan. Muslims and Hindus weren’t the only ones being separated from each other. Sikhs and people from other faiths were affected as well. A Sikh pilgrimage was divided because of the new border, Punjabi people of all faiths were separated from each other, and a culture was ultimately divided. This Vox Borders episode looks at how the Radcliffe line changed Punjab and how communities are affected now.

Pure BS

How about before British
Mughals?

Our culture and their culture is now way different. We are influenced by Islam unlike them. It will take few more decades for Pakistan to go back to its roots. We have 7500 to 9000 years of history in this land.

All the views (political commentators, 47 survivors) are Indian (at least half way in which is all i could watch). Very simplistic coverage which is targetting its audience (middle class westerners of more liberal inclinations). A more nuanced documentary on this topic is yet to be seen.

All of these victims should sue the UK or the Throne of Her Majesty for crimes against humanity if wounds have not healed so far.

To phir British ko kyon sue karain Jo is lakeer ko nhi mantay would lakeer ki eastern side par chalay jayen

What pissed me off was that he only interviewed Indians. No pakistani perspective.

Then he used PTI rally and IK to show that Pakistan hates India.
