Aryan Kumar but look what that did split punjab split bengal the man didn’t even finish the border ?

@@user-tn7kl3sq2r How did he not finish the border? The 565 princely states were to be independent and ruled by their king and they were allowed ot join India or Pakistan. West Punjab, Baluchistan, Sindh and East Bengal were to go Pakistan and NWFP was to be decided by a referendum.

Shantanu Chakravarty Nehru with red cliff commission included some Muslim majority districts in Indian Punjab. Where the Sikhs and Hindus started slaughtering Muslims. My dada was from zilla Patti, adjescent to Zilla Qusoor in Pakistan. On 14th August they got to know that their Muslim majority district was included in Indian territory. His whole family was killed by a Sikh Jatha. Only he survived.

Glad to hear your family survived these savages.

Savages, they lived peacefully amongst themselves until the British came and divided them on religion

@@arunsreenivasan2074 , People are not puppets to be divided by the British.

Only Indians blame British people for everything but the British can be blamed for the conflicts which existed from the partition because they were responsible for making the partition possible.

NYC uhh no not as much as people want to make it out to be. India demanded self rule and Muslims demanded separate country. When finally British realized it was wise to leave the riots by Muslims for autonomy and retaliation by Hindus to not separate caused unrest. British and leaders like Gandhi gave in and you had Pakistan. Gandhi paid for it with his life as did many thousands of innocent people.it was not a scheme of the British for separation, it was internal conflict that allowed for it to happen.

@@killoreo The British were the ones that created the borders, government and everything to start the country.

@@loudfiend4051 the British didnt start anything Bharat/India has been around for thousands of years. The British were only a recent administrators who's time came and went. Bharat was divided by the Muslim league who demanded a separate country. They caused riots and massacres starting from Culcutta (calcutta killings 1946) spreading through other parts of India. Jinnah stated something like , you can have to separate countries or a destroyed India. And they applied all means for that cause. Do some readings/ research and learn. The British were just itching to get out at that time , they had nothing to gain. Muslim league wanted Pakistan and they got it with terror and violence.

@@loudfiend4051 , If only the British were the culprits then we can be very happy, because, the harm inflicted by the British can easily be reversed.But that is not the reality.

rabatha 273 dude acts of atrocities carried against muslims wasnt right either. This partition was overall a terrible thing.

rabatha 273 if there was no partition there would be no kashmir conflict. Also no war. Also about the condition of muslims in india. My family is from uttar pradesh and lots of muslims live here along side us and have had many fellow classmates and friends. I dont see the problem with them and hindus like how you are saying.Some of indias best actors and stars are muslim and are all given good rights and reason.

These kind atrocities happened on both sides. Very sad. It happened due to a tiney monority of stupipds on both sides. We honour all innocent victims from both communities - Punjabies (mostly Punjabies are cousins)

what is the story. please tell us also

Apka chak kn sa. Plz tell me

Jeevi Singh and islam

The british did not slaughter Hindus and Sikhs , the islamic monsters did.

rational Dude true...Islam must be wiped out they are starting to make a Pakistan in the uk

Islam is the reason for partition.Still they want partition. Hindu never said for partition.

My dada was from zilla Patti, adjescent to Zilla Qusoor in Pakistan. On 14th August they got to know that their Muslim majority district was included in Indian territory. His whole family was killed by a Sikh Jatha. Only he survived.

Why they only make documentary about sikh or hindu. Muslims suffered more

ADread J we miss our sindhi brothers

@Zain XT who came to India were hindu sindhis hro. Almost 20 million today

Sindhis themselve should do effort,,,,

There were quite a lot of Sikhs actually In west Punjab just not as many when comparing to east Punjab .I remember a research done by a Pakistani overseas scholar that points that The Muslim League made the Partition worst by starting the Violence first then its effect echoed to others parts of the country which lead to the bloodbath .UK handled the the situation badly and that the border was drawn by a person who has never been to India to begin with

There were no riots in Sindh it's on record.most Sindhi migrated of their own will and some did to damage the economy of Pakistan.

I do agree with you but the whole Nation India suffered the most by losing our people out lands as well as our soldiers still the clash between these two never ends and never will the British did their job and executed perfectly DIVIDE & RULE

@@karate2252 totally agree with you!

Really sad 😔

Chal bhai gapp maarda our more than 1000 relatives told a different story either you are making this up or your mother is lying so that the hate and fear is watered in you. The sikhs and hindus were cornered but a sikh will never run will fight till death no matter what we still remember mirpur katal e aam. There was a gurudwara there in which all the people took stand the final stand those who were left. Do not spread lies if you do not have guts to say the truth.

RajahHindustani If you aren't a Hindu then who are you??

Yash Sharma Why should I tell you what I am. None of your business.

RajahHindustani, It's not simply enough to be grateful to be in a secular country which respects the rights of all religious groups but you should also be aware of the threats from the country which separated and many more countries which swears by the theory of two humanities.

intelligent person what good will that do? My grandfather always said that we cannot blame a whole religion for the atrocities that happened but we should learn from them and remember to never commit these mistakes ever again. My grandfather had many sikh friends when he came to London in the 60’s for education and work, they too shared stories about partition. We cannot blame a whole religion for the cowardly acts of a few.

intelligent person very good, Sikhs are very kind and respectful people especially the ones that are from Afghanistan. The minute I tell them I’m from Lahore they instantly get intrigued as they all too wish to visit Lahore and Punjab and are their old temples in Nankana Sahib

afan ali , come to indian punjab , their are many muslim familied still living here , Can you tell me how many Hindu families living there in Lahore , Peshawar . I feel sad for you loss , but the loss is mutual .

K V there are many Sikhs and Christians in Lahore, I have a couple school friends. In Peshawar there is a large number of Kabli Sikhs as I last saw when I went there and as for Hindus the ones that didn’t migrate stayed in Sindh. Karachi has a fair share of Hindus as does Rawalpindi and many parts of Quetta seem to house Sikhs as well. Christians in Pakistan seem to be dotted all around the country.

K V I have been to indian Punjab many times to with my grandfather to visit his ancestral land, mainly Jalandhar, they greeted me with lots of kindness and did not seem to care that I was Muslim. Hindus however treated us much differently and gave us rude stares and told us to go back to Pakistan as we were not wanted. But Punjab is Punjab and is the same on each side of the border, there is no difference in culture or language. I feel you should visit Pakistan as I feel you will be suprised at the religious diversity, particularly in cities like Lahore and vast areas of Punjab as well as Karachi and Islamabad. My neighbour in Pakistan is a Pakistani Hindu and my other one is a Parsi, both very kind and prospering people.

Both Indians and Pakistanis suffered. Many Indian and Pakistani women killed themselves that's why there was a women shortage in Both countries at the time. Homes were also burned in both countries.

Britain NEVER made decisions to separate Pakistan from India. That was Al Jinnah's decision to establish an Islamic state which ran on Sharia law and not on Hindu laws. That was his demands which the Indian government agreed to. The British were only assigned to draw the borderline. That was their only contribution to it. It is so wrong and plain illegal to falsify history and divert Jinnah's decisions on the British.

pinder singh wrong Islam needs to be wiped off the earth

Nehru with red cliff commission included some Muslim majority districts in Indian Punjab. Where the Sikhs and Hindus started slaughtering Muslims. And more Muslims were killed in that event than both Sikhs and Hindus combined. My dada was from zilla Patti, adjescent to Zilla Qusoor in Pakistan. On 14th August they got to know that their Muslim majority district was included in Indian territory. His whole family was killed by a Sikh Jatha. Only he survived.

while reading the comments section it is pretty clear that no one (from either side) has learned from the past. They will repeat the same brutality again if they get the chance.

The only mistake was what happened to the Sikh empire after ranjit Singh the gulabs (traitors) helped the British conquer our homeland

+Mihir S it was the muslim league party who wanted partition all other groups wanted to stay with their land India. even to recent days some people of paksitan want to do gazwa e hind.

Jammu massacres involved Hindus not really Sikhs.

@@loudfiend4051 it was majority Sikhs as they all carried kurpans and were in power. That's what our elders told us and its not one person who told this story. we have heard this from various people who had first hand experience all of them have told the same story that how people were slaughtered by Sikhs out side jummu when they were going to Pakistan on busses. So get your facts straight.

@@FirstLast-hz8ut Even I agree with you Hindus were thrown out 6 times means they came back 5 times lol don't cook up stories. we are talking about a real massacre of Muslims of Jammu. 250,000 Muslims were killed in that by Hindus and Sikhs.

STOP BELEIVING TO THE LAME STORIES AND JUST ADMIT MUSLIMS RULED YOU BECAUSE THEY WERE POWERFUL AT THAT TIME. MAY BE HINDUS CONVERTED TO SHOW THEY ARE LOYAL TO THE MUSLIM RULERS TO GAIN TRUST AND POWER THAT ONE CAN UNDERSTAND BUT MILLIONS OF HINDUS WERE FORCEFULLY CONVERTED LOL. REALLY???

Very well said brother, even kartarpur and nankana saheb were given away to Pakistan, and accessing these shrines remains a distant dream for many of our Sikh sisters and brothers

You didn't mention Nehru.

And u forget about Muslims and don't menetion why this happend??? It's all because of british ,sikhs and Muslims of both punjab,s start killing eachother . . . . Don't blame one side and

Muslims suffered more even nehru wrote to gandhi number of muslims killed by sikhs in east punjab doubles the hindu/sikhs killed in west.

@@tahirbashir6133 It is absolutely wrong Where is 23 percent of Hindu population after partition in 1948. Lots of our Hindu relative either forced converted or killed In 1940 Pak side population 50 percent Hindus 15 percent Sikh& 35 percent Muslims. Punjabi Hindus are almost decimated in Pak Punjab . As on today also sindhies Bengali and Hindu punjabies r suffering due to not having any ancestral support or otherwise like rest of Indians

Eh baba us waqt bacha e hona

Yes, I think so too.

@@karate2252 I'm inclined to agree.

Maybe currently India under BJP rule focusses on One religion due to majority and our Rights as Hindus because we don't have other 50 countries option to choose from but back then when partition happened there was no BJP the only party which used to rule India was Congress a Liberal party loved by Pakistanis as well as Indian Muslims so then why did they asked for another Nation ?? Why did they asked to divide my land on the basis of Religion ?? Today countries are fighting for their lands but I am glad my Nation India not just gave away one but 2 parts of it's nation so that different religion can live peacefully in their respective Land (Pakistan & Bangladesh) now as Hindus We never want to see our Land getting divided again in future We will support a Party who loves our Nation and won't let it fall apart like they did back then We tried our best to be liberal and understanding but the opposite side never tried that's why they still attacked India 26/11, Pulwama attack, PSI Modi murder plan, Asking for Islamic rules when we already gave lands for the people so that they can follow their religion peacefully, Kashmiri Pandits Genocides, Vandalism of Temples, Terrorist attacks and the list goes on and on there is no guilt and no one even cared to apologize for our Sufferings Not Anymore We are done being peacefully destroyed We will support the party who will guarantee us that no other religion will be a National threat and No one will ask to Divide my Nation Ever Again

@@thesiren1268 liar, al taqiya. None believes you

@Saurav and how will india pay for the massacare in 1984, fools like you are the reason these trajidies happened.

@Sunny Gupta First of all, it was British India so the empire never belonged to your country. We had all the right to have our own country because it was our land in the first place. Just because the British annexed our land into British India doesn't mean that you Indians some how gained authority over our ancestral land.

My family also migrated from a wee place near Jalandhar (Ferozepur) to Pakistan. A lot of them were slaughtered, some lost. Some made it across the border...

Bergr B u know that you can’t really blame one side. I’m not defending nor am I a Hindu, but you have to admit that it’s both and not one side .

Dipin Chauhan The same stories had happened on both sides. Almost one million muslims were also killed during partition. Who killed them? How can you say Islam a cancerous religion. You should be shameful of your saying. Most of these killing were done in we punjabis of both sides. We have realized now the reality behind that. Thats why both sides people wanted to get more closer to each other once again.

@@dr.ragill2752 glad to hear that u've realized the reality, my best wishes are with u for ur punjabi love but remember, india was a land of dozen of world religion and only one religion wants separation, No hindu demands a separate nation, No buddhist, No Jain, No Christian, No parsi, No jew, No Sikh (except some canadians funded by ISI)......Two-nation theory is about islam vs. others they made pakistan in the name of religion (official name 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan' not 'Punjabi Republic of Pakistan')....Lastly, ur subscriber list is very interesting 👍

@@dr.ragill2752 , Are you going to say that a lot of Germans had also died and suffered during the second world war and therefore the Germans alone cannot be blamed?

Jinnah saved the 400 Million people of Pakistan and Bangladesh from facing what Indian Muslims are facing today. He wanted an autonomous rule for Muslim provinces but Congress didn't agree. I am glad they didn't because I can't imagine living in United India.

It's so painfully obvious that partition was nothing but the continuation of British divide and rule tactics. I honestly can't see how anyone can justify this happening.

Devawrat Vidhate : Well informed comment. I recommend to you Munshi Premchand's story Jihad. It is a 3 pg story depicting the sate of things in Afganisthan many centuries ago. Unfortunately, most Hindus forget and tend to move on. A good thing for them for the present, but it soes the seeds for their future destruction. Thanks to the Marathas, the Ahoms, and to some extent the Rajputs, Hinduism has survived till date. Whether it will survive in the future we do not know. I will try and read Ambedkar's book ( great man that he was ).

tintunbirha pdf of those above books are available online.....And if you want read ab8 1857 jihad read this book The 1857 Jihad www.amazon.in/dp/8170493374/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_I5NzBb0A934C4 Author also provided evidence about his sources .....And how zanshi ke Rani Lakshmibai forced to take part in this war ...Bcoz 30-40 % of his military force consist of muslim and they want to rebel against her if she don't want to support jihad against british...
