My point is that in 1947, all the people, whether Hindus, Muslims or Sikhs, were supposed to continue living, at their places, to which they belonged. There was no provision for involuntary displacement, in the partition plans. What happened, in shape of riots and forced displacement, was an altogether different thing, at least the scale of which was not envisaged. Consequently, those Muslims and Hindus, who could stay in their respective places of belonging, stayed their.
Had the partition of India been taken place on the principle of total or even substantial transfer of population, on religious bases; then the division of the land between the two daughter countries would have to be negotiated and settled on totally different terms.
