Partition of India: 14 अगस्त को हुआ था भारत-पाकिस्तान विभाजन, जानें खूनी संघर्ष से जुड़े खौफनाक तथ्य

14 August 1947 Partition of India: भारत के मुट्ठीभर मुसलमानों और वह भी सिर्फ, पंजाब, उत्तर प्रदेश एवं बिहार के मुसलनामों ने अंग्रेजों की चाल के तहत एक अलग देश की मांग की और अंतत: खूनी संघर्ष के बाद विभाजन करना तय किया गया। प्लान के तहत 14 अगस्त 1947 के दिन भारत को विभाजित कर दिया गया। 1857 से 1947 तक 90 साल के संग्राम, आंदोलन और बलिदान के बाद भारतीयों ने आजादी की जगह देखी विभाजन की त्रासदी।…

Y'all must read the play "Final Solutions" by Mahesh Dattani.

1947 is identified as the year that India and Pakistan gained independence from British Colonial rule. It is also the year that saw the formation of two separate states from one nation. One, Pakistan, was apparently founded on a theocratic principle and the other, India, founded apparently on principles of democracy and secularism. While the political establishment was celebrating the achievement of Independence and the formation of sovereign states, ordinary citizens were reeling from the shock of neighbours turning on each other and the dislocations where many were uprooted from the homes their families had lived in for generations. Although there have been several literary representations of the violence, of this traumatic severing of countries on religious and ethnic lines, there has been very little attempt in literature to link what is now obvious to most sociologists and even to the layman. Namely, communal tensions and fault lines in contemporary India have their origins in the trauma of partition as well as the lack of resolution or forgiveness. Mahesh Dattani’s play ‘Final Solutions’ is a rare literary/dramatic text that connects our contemporary context with the unforgiven trauma of 1947. This play places a modern liberal family in the middle of a communal riot—while two Muslim men seek sanctuary from the fundamentalist Hindu mob baying for their blood outside the house, inside the Hindu family must face their own demons—of the past as well as the present.

India, holding onto England in the 18th centaury) : Yes he might be an invader, and yes he isn't house trained, and YES he may be capable of dark horrors beyond comprehension. But consider, he scrungly.

Read through all the slides. More than one country has been divided by the Empire for their own greed.

youd have a hard time convincing me that each people deserve their own ethnostate where they get to run their own apartheid. fundamentally fascist way of perceiving humanity

History has to be read and remembered so that the lessons are not forgotten and the mistakes are not repeated.

Hi, Pakistani here 👋 I've heard bits and pieces on the splitting of India and Pakistan. Some I can't find anywhere online, and some that's even more gruesome than what I heard, and some that I wonder if I'm viewing from a biased western perspective. Know any channels that have the full truth?

Hey! 👋🏼

I'm afraid the only ones I've got that I trust are Never such innocence and Cultural India,

If anyone else is more knowledgeable about this subject and know of more resources, feel free to add em on.

India and Pakistan, a conflict that truly supersedes borders.

[notsohots-blog]

Just completed reading "Train to Pakistan" by Khushwant Singh and I am in an emotional turmoil and utter confusion...like what happened to Nooran and her child afterwards? Did she ever come to know that Juggat, her love, sacrificed his life? Mannn....What about Juggat's mother? What happened to the wannabe-leader Iqbal, honestly he was a scumbag....then Hukum Chand, did he ever get to meet the girl about whom he was so confused??????

Like why do writers do this??? Where's the epilogue man???? Where is the POV of other people???????

this land won't love you back

pause this pesky patriotism this land won't love you back if it's chest is torn into two hundred different shreds  if you've sliced through it's skin like the sword of our fathers that glided with a silent violence  underneath the jaws of their own brothers a kinship as close as the mind and the body separated only by a spine  that we lost to colonial exploits a history obscured to new names invented with a scientific rigor a supposedly secular pursuit of self-repression self-care or self-control i can't tell the difference  i don't necessarily disagree with self-care i just think it's self-harm to reduce the self  into a sense of identity with the self  to break an unbounded world into territories  will leave misfit pieces with no boxes to fit in not on this form not on this form  self-care is not self-care behind the unsaid post-anxious self-limitation post anxious post self post limitation there is a self is outside the perceived self under a tree sprinkled with the sporadic sun  there is a self outside the self-self in a dream by the endless sea endless futures to care for and endless paths intersecting  for a moment to create an eternal body of everything from nothing if therapy is self-care i think the we should do it in groups it might be harder to share, but it's easier to heal i imagine this is what they call high risk high reward on wall street i've never been on wall street i don't agree with their thirst and it doesn't agree with me but if i happened to be there i'd console myself with the usual gesture that the revolution is probably the most sincere form of self-care and after seeing what happened at the plantations i would put salt on my wounds before i would put sugar in my tea again

in 1947, British India was partitioned into India and Pakistan. In 1971, Bangladesh broke off from Pakistan. In 2023, I was in Jackson Heights in Queens, NY (pictured above), where immigrant families from all three of these nation-states live in peace. For a moment, I felt a joy seeing this cohabitation of a divided people, but then that joy was overcome suddenly just as I realized that the forces that brought these people to this Jackson Heights were indeed the same forces of imperial profit machineries that split our home subcontinent into three pieces.
