But they still will not admit any wrong doing on their part, even in their Universities and text books they take no responsibility for their actions. General Dyer who did the Amritser Massacre was not even charged he was just made to forcibly retire thats it!
But even more than the British I blame our people for letting it happen and still today they play games with us but we fools will still bend over backwards like a puppy dog waiting for our Masters to pat us on the head and tell us how good we are. Perhaps they fear us getting closer that could explain it.
their most powerful weapon was diplomacy, deceit, divide and rule... yes they were exceptional engineers and great tacticians but in many cases they were able to create rifts and use local anarchy to their advantage.
totally agree that we ourselves were to blame for the fall of our Empires, one after the other little states fell to them that Included Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus etc.
our Pakistani text books go at length lamenting on Marhata's joining the British forces to bring down the Empire of Tipo Sultan but thre is just a passing remark on Nizam (the Muslim allies of British) and do you know what is shameful? that Lord Clive of Palasi war against Siraj Ud Dolah was an accountant by profession (not a general) booo hoo
I must clarify few things in my earlier posts about my journey in time with my parents and older family members, there was no boasting or pride over the mention of cull of the Hindus at the hands of the locals but a sense of grief and resignation. I can proudly say that none of my ancestors ] took part in such atrocities, most were either employed by the Raj or were too much full of themselves to take notice of the great migration. also I must clarify that I am not aiming for any brownie points from my Indian fellow members because I am sure there was much bigger and horrid play taking place in new India where Muslim migrants were on the receiving end. as it happens I am aware of one distant family member who were employed on the Indian side and on their way back all were slayed by the Hindu/ Sikh mobsters and a boy and his baby sister just miraculously lived though and passed the border among the corpses in the train. but they themselves and their offspring have nothing bad to say about the Indians of today and have even hosting Hindus who used to come over in our Part of the country on business trips and yatra although i am not aware of any significant Hindu holy place in Balochistan , just like the Sikhs Panja Saab in Punjab.
but we had very prosperous and generous Hindu community back in the days and even our border town was named Chaman ( garden) after the name of Chaman Daas not much is known about his some say he was a rich philanthropist or a business man and Zaildaar of the British raj but name stays along with a sizeable Hindu population that is relatively safe from the b@stard LeT & Laskher Jhangvi
The sad thing is that be it Hindu or Shia Muslim or Christians all are facing huge survival threats
my dear everyone is in their cross hair. common Sunnis are being targeted as well for standing up to these extremists.
