For Panjab (& Bengal) especially: Celebration?

“Gangs of killers set whole villages aflame, hacking to death men and children and the aged while carrying off young women to be raped."

"Some British soldiers and journalists who had witnessed the Nazi death camps claimed Partition’s brutalities were worse: pregnant women had their breasts cut off and babies hacked out of their bellies; infants were found literally roasted on spits.”

“Foot caravans of destitute refugees fleeing the violence stretched for 50 miles and more. As the peasants trudged along wearily, mounted guerrillas burst out of the tall crops that lined the road and culled them like sheep."

"Special refugee trains, filled to bursting when they set out, suffered repeated ambushes along the way. All too often they crossed the border in funereal silence, blood seeping from under their carriage doors.”

What are you expecting British govt to do ?!

Too late to do anything now. The point I am making is no one held the British government accountable for causing this genocide. They looted billions of dollars when they enslaved India and ruled there for nearly two hundred years. Got a drunkard from England to draw the divisive lines and put nothing in place for a peaceful transition into two countries.

Little know fact, Nanak Singh of Multan who was murdered by Muslims in Multan was the father of that arch Indian chumcha Rami Ranger. He was born 2 months after his father's murder and the letter above was written by Master Tara Singh to the Chief Minister of Patiala State where the family had migrated to so that they could be assisted in being resettled. Today India's chumcha Rami would call Master Tara Singh a terrorist for wanting a Sikh state in 1947
