Partition: The Day India Burned

[Carl Johnson]

That's a myth. It's a perspective, but your posted Video's prove this notion wrong theirselves. That Indian Hindu man in the video tells himself that how weired his mother and other Hindus used to act with Muslims. We in PAKISTAN are grateful to Allah Almighty for Pakistan. Please get over it. We can live like good neighbours now but India as a state is a hurdle in that too.

The videos also prove that hindus,muslims and sikhs were living peacefully with each other for centuries and during partition,they suddenly became bloodthirsty against each other.That has even worsened the relations of indians and pakistanis.The bloodshed of millions of people cant be forgotten.Partition should never have happened just to prevent the massacre.

How about 1600 or so, Anti Muslim Riots in ''Secular India'', post partition. Thank God for Pakistan.

what with you and the Kashmir issue ? the Kashmir issue is all but dead in most circles. the best you can expect is an open border between the two Kashmirs. you are not going to change anything but harping on about it .
"wise is the man who reads the way the wind blows"

So is the peace in South Asia. Road to peace in this region goes through, Just Resolution to Jammu and Kashmir Dispute.

1600..........are you kidding me?Can you provide the proof.

There have been just 2-3 riots and that also because of the animosity between hindus and muslims that had gathered strength due to partition massacres.Wonder why there were no riots for 100s of years before the independence?

And there is not going to be any plebiscite in kashmir as the demographics have been changed over the course of last 65 years.
Kashmiri hindus have been driven away from the valley while pakistanis have flocked in P0K.So any referendum wont show people's true will.





Moreover,M.A.Jinnah wanted a secular Pakistan, not an Islamic republic, where people of all communities would live together in a muslim majority.Not a Pakistan which is cleansed of most non-muslims.There are reports of abduction and forceful conversion of non muslims coming out of Pakistan on regular basis.What about that?

So Jinnah's dream has been shattered.

Indians and Paks carry a lot of myths in their heads. This is mostly based on the 3rd grade sarkari school history books.

here is something you won't find in your school's text books.

Partition impacted mostly one state in the whole of British India. And that state was Punjab.

Before partition
-- East Punjab (Indian side) had 55-65% Muslim Punjabis. (depending on city/village)
-- West Punjab (Pak side) had 35-45% non-Muslim Punjabis (depending on city/village)

After partition
--- Indian Punjab had 0% Muslim punjabis (totally annihilated by Indian mobs)
-- Pak Punjab had 0% non-Muslim punjabis (totally annihilated by Pak mobs)
--- few exceptions were tiny Muslim population in Malir kotla, and tiny sikh population around holy shrines such as: Nankana sahib and Punja sahib


nowhere else in India or Pak, the ethnic cleansing was so absolute so comprehensive.

Around 1947 there were few riots and some uprooting around Delhi area and tiny bit in Kolkatta etc.


So partition should be blamed for the killings and rapes and ethnic cleansing in Punjab only.


Years prior to partition,

1946 saw 1000's Muslims and non-Muslims butchered in Bihar, Bengal.

1930s saw the same thing in UP

1920 saw butchery in Indian south

Thus it is inaccurate to say that Partition resulted in "India burning"

However India had been burning long before partition and that mainly led up to the partition.


This is all sad history and my heart goes out for all those who lost their lives, their love loved ones. Doesn't matter if they were hindus, sikhs or Muslims. Their blood was red and their hearts beat the same way, and their hopes dreams and aspirations were no different from each other.

Hope one day we all come together and ask for forgiveness for the carnage committed against the innocent people.


peace.

Tell this to Inhuman Indian Politicians and to Indians In Denial over India's Ills, Primarily for It's Illegal, Immoral and Brutal Occupation Of Jammu and Kashmir.
