Dig into the 1947 Partition of India, when Britain split the region into two states, India and Pakistan, and the mass migrations and violence that followed.
--
In 1947, the British viceroy announced that after 200 years of British rule, India would gain independence and be partitioned into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. What followed was one of the largest and bloodiest forced migrations in history: an estimated 1 million people lost their lives. What caused this violent aftermath? Haimanti Roy details the lasting legacies of the Partition of India.
Lesson by Haimanti Roy, directed by Jagriti Khirwar & Raghav Arumugam.

Muslim league - 95% muslims voted for. Hindu Mahasabha - hardly 5% votes. The fearful Minority 30 Million (now 220 Million) didn't left for Pakistan and now pelt stone on Hindu festivals. Hindu temples are under attack, Idols are being vandalised. There are many cases. Also, Pakistan in 1970, kiIIed 3 Million Bangladeshi people 😃 10 million refugee went to India (with whom they didn't want to live) 🤦🏻‍♂️, lsIamic Brotherhood KiIIed Bangladeshi 🙈🙅🏻🤷🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️ And even today, Baloch, Pashtuns, Sindhi people in Pakistan are "Disappearing". Take a guess by whom. Pakistan's main export is IT. (International Terr o rism) They were minority, yet they ruled Spain and India for 800 years. British were less than 1,00,000. Yet they ruled 300 million people. Minority is dangerous term. Don't play with it. For 51%, 49% is minority. 1921, Moplah Riots. 10,000 H Indus got kiIIed , 3000 forced converted. Direct action day - 5000 Indoos KiIIed. Noakhali riots - 5000 Indus KiIIed. Minority pelt stones on our festival. Minority is dangerous term. It automatically makes them victim which is not case in India. Hindus are Victim of them.

​@@sahar.2316The "stolen jewel of India" being the Koh-i-Noor? The truth is that the diamond changed hands so many times through history, that it is difficult to consider the diamond "Indian". It was given by Duleep Singh to Queen Victoria in 1849, after the signing of the Last Treaty of Lahore. It's debatable whether this should be considered a gift or a coerced tribute. If you consider it coerced, then by that standard, the Sikh Maharaja Ranjit Singh would also be guilty of coercing the diamond from the Afghan Shah, whom he received it as a "mandatory gift". The Afghan Shah himself received the diamond as a "gift" from the Persian Shah, who acquired it after looting the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire looted it from the Delhi Sultanate, who looted it from the Kakatiya dynasty, which is where the paper trail on the diamond's origin runs cold. Britain has had a messy history in regards to India, including many wrongdoings. However, regarding this particular gem, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran all make some claim on the diamond, but official documents transferred the diamond from India to Britain over 170 years ago. It's probably best to keep it on the shelf, rather than open a whole can of worms. No more strife should be caused over a shiny rock. P.S: This diamond is _not_ part of Queen Elizabeth II's crown, and she has never worn it. The crown it is embroidered to was last worn by her Mum in 1953, and has remained on the shelf ever since.

As an Irishman (of Indian descent), we bitterly remember how British colonialism hurt our nation. For 800 years, the British tried to subject Ireland into its constitution, but Ireland never stopped resisting. So the British deliberately caused a famine in 1845, killing 2 million and leaving 2 million others to leave - so the British could repopulate with the Protestants (Ulsters), mainly in the Belfast region. That Ulster gang would go on to play a role in dividing our Ireland apart after our independence in 1921. This helped explain why Irish people do sympathise with India.
@harrisonbailey5449
@harrisonbailey5449 Год назад
The famine wasn't on purpose, it was caused by the deliberate exportation of potatoes to Great Britain, which led to the famine. And what happened a few centuries ago isn't the modern day British peoples fault, but it was a tragedy that the British tried to incorporate Ireland into the union but blaming people today isn't going to help, people learning about the history will though.

My late grandfather was from Lahore (now in Pakistan) and came to India as a refugee. He used to tell about the difficulties he faced during the Partition. He told me that while he took a train to go to the newly formed Dominion of India from the Dominion of Pakistan, he wore a burkha to hide from the local Muslim militias who were constantly stopping the train to look out for Hindus and kill them (Since my grandfather was a Hindu). When he finally reached the Indian border, the driver of the train who was a Muslim was taken out by the angry Sikh and Hindu militias from the Indian side and was killed mercilessly. When asked about how he felt during that time, He only used to say that no one in this world should go through what he went through.

Even the Turks who invaded India were atleast tolerant to people and still under their rule India's gdp was 24% of the world. In my openion colonisation is the worst you could do to any country cus its sole purpose is profit.

If you take a look at the limited Historical Documents of Sir Cyril Radcliffe, he had said "I had no alternative, the time at my disposal was so short that I could not do a better job. Given the same period, I would do the same thing. However, if I had two to three years, I might have improved on what I did." You see he was given only 5 weeks to make a border at the last minute and seeing the horrific results of the border he was forced to rush, he refused to take his salary. I can not say exactly how he felt but from the things I found, no one in the committee felt comfortable with the border and the violence that came after and they were highly likely horrified at the large screw up they had just made but dividing British Raj was never an easy job not to mention, dividing a very diverse country in just 5 weeks is just impossible to do without causing massive amounts of violence and let's not forget Sir Cyril Radcliffe never have been to Asia and knew very little of British Raj. If anything I really do feel bad for Sir Cyril Radcliffe as he was made to do the impossible and still, I have no idea why the British even tried dividing the British Raj up at all instead of keeping the British Raj united as that was more possible to do in just 5 weeks then it was to get a Lawyer from London who knows nothing about British Raj to divide British Raj.

That's oversimplification, the Western culture which the current Indian generation is following is American opposed to the Western culture which the elites of the 20th century India were following which was inherently British. And probably it's also cause of the more conservative and superstitious side of these regional cultures which makes them less attractive to the current day youth and which at some level is also incompatible with the urban lifestyle. So rather than viewing outside cultures with hostility we should try to imbibe the best features of those cultures and in process reform our own as well. And as far as it is concerned about english, I think it is more of a sign of how well aware one is about the international affairs, hence it's hyped up in this age of globalisation. Personal opinion, agree to disagree. What do you think?

They were wealthy farmers with a huge manor and 3 streams and 13 farms but had to leave at a very young age. He was only 8 that time and wasn't sure what happened. His sister was also taken away from his family. They came to India for the first time and had no money and he used to work at a hospital sweeper at the age of 12-15 and nextly a Group-D worker. He married to 14 year old girl when he was 22. This was perfect true history which still Horrifies me as a 16-year-old teen

Then I got to meet a bunch of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Poles, Ukrainians, Americans, French, Germans, Lebanese, etc. etc. etc. in my stay of several years in Europe. I realized, people are inherently just people - some are great, most are mundane, few are awful. Nothing to do with their nationality , ethnicity or religion. In fact, the more I think about it, the very idea of having nation states for purposes other than administrative conviniences (and may be positive competitive goals like sports) makes less and less sense to me.

What's worse is that colonialism still isn't over. Some African countries are still getting independence and there still are tiny island nations in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans which are under French and Portuguese colonial rules. Heck, even USA has the American Samoa and Guam where the people are treated as second class citizens. They're essentially colonies, just like what India was to "Great" Britain.

For the people of India and Pakistan, the partition was a tragedy unlike any other and remains etched in the hearts of the people of both countries as a dark chapter in their history.

It was due to the divisive policies of British , that allowed Jinnah and his followers to proceed with a separate identity.

He had no food no clothes or anything and he didn’t even know English. He got on a boat and thought he was going to America but ended up in England and then he got married to a sikh girl who was in the same situation as my grandfather. My grandfather passed away almost a year ago December 21 and I miss him. He never told me this story and it’s so sad because he had so many stories to tell me. My uncle told me his story at his funeral. My grandfather had nothing and he started from nothing. When I was born he was so rich and I’m so proud of him. Also my grandmother passed away when I was a baby before my sister was born so I was the only one who saw all of my grandparents and I’m thankful for that.

What’s sad is a British person we did it everywhere including inside the uk. I am from the outer Hebrides and our culture and language was oppressed children would get beaten for speaking Gaelic by the English. Brutal colonisation has hurt so many people around the world, yet we cannot change the past. We just need to do better in the future.

*Ethnically diverse people living peacefully minding their own business * The British: Allow me to introduce myself Edit: We would've been better off without the Brits even though we had our fair share of problems. Also my comment wasn't specific to India only. Just look what they did to Palestine. Jews and Muslims were coexisting peacefully before the Brits came. Same thing with Africa. Years of White Imperialism ruined it.

I don't blame British. In 1945 and 1946 elections, 95% so called muslim Minority (which Ruled India & Spain for 800 years), Voted for Separate country because they didn't want to live under Democracy lead by (very Stu p!d) Secular Majority. 1945 & 1946 elections - Congress represented - Secularists. Muslim league - 95% muslims voted for. Hindu Mahasabha - hardly 5% votes. The fearful Minority 30 Million (now 220 Million) didn't left for Pakistan and now pelt stone on Hindu festivals. Hindu temples are under attack, Idols are being vandalised. There are many cases. Also, Pakistan in 1970, kiIIed 3 Million Bangladeshi people 😃 10 million refugee went to India (with whom they didn't want to live) 🤦🏻‍♂️, lsIamic Brotherhood KiIIed Bangladeshi 🙈🙅🏻🤷🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️ And even today, Baloch, Pashtuns, Sindhi people in Pakistan are "Disappearing". Take a guess by whom. Pakistan's main export is IT. (International Terr o rism) They were minority, yet they ruled Spain and India for 800 years. British were less than 1,00,000. Yet they ruled 300 million people. Minority is dangerous term. Don't play with it. For 51%, 49% is minority. 1921, Moplah Riots. 10,000 H Indus got kiIIed , 3000 forced converted. Direct action day - 5000 Indoos KiIIed. Noakhali riots - 5000 Indus KiIIed. Minority pelt stones on our festival. Minority is dangerous term. It automatically makes them victim which is not case in India. Hindus are Victim of them.

3:55 - No, the provinces of Punjab and Bengal were not put under Pakistan. Bengal and Punjab we're divided into East Bengal, West Bengal, East Punjab and West Punjab respectively. East Bengal and West Punjab were put under the dominion of Pakistan, while West Bengal and East Punjab were put under the Indian dominion. As a Bengali, I could only imagine what horrors my ancestors must have gone through. My grandfathers (both maternal and paternal) had to flee from the region announced under Pakistan, and had to run across the border to India, while leaving their families and fortunes behind, that too when they were mere kids.

The sole purpose of partition was muslims wanted an seperate Islamic nation therefore it's not totally correct to blame Britishers as they only poured oil in fire ..the harsh reality which no one talks about is muslims wanted to create an Islamic state and they couldn't live with Hindus peacefully that's why partition occured

We don't discuss anymore but the shenanigans of the British have left omnipresent indentations in the lives of the citizens of the Indian subcontinent. Pakistan and India spend large moolah every year planning wars and reinforcements against each other. Bangladesh has been marred with population issues ever since and an unnecessary refugee issue seems to haunt the border states. Once abundant with resources and its own set of diplomatic equations, the entirety of the Indian essence was forcefully colonised. Everything has been negatively impacted, our religion, our texts, our sovereignty, our music and our Seer-Culture. We don't admit anymore, but the British implications on our soil have caused catastrophic consequences that generations of citizens are bearing the brunt of.

@@celestia4439 whatever would have happened is up for debate but surely the wage disparities and widespread poverty wouldn't exist, people would have jobs and industries deliberately killed by the company would flourish, so most people would be literate, hopefully education would bring civic sense resulting in peace and weaponisation of the past would be difficult. Even if the states did get separated (its likely that they would remain together under the marathas though) atleast hundreds of millions wouldn't be malnourished. I'd rather prefer that. Not to mention how much better the caste relations would've been, the whole system could've been abolished, its just terrible.
