Wasn’t Sikkim an independent kingdom at that time?
what was it proposed to do with the industrial areas? wasn’t lahore or karachi or delhi industrial?
why would indian punjab be part of pakistan? or simla?
It is interesting that Nepal and Bhutan are independent and excluded here, while Sikkim and Kashmir are marked as „native states“ that will be integrated.
Also interesting that Ceylon (later Sri Lanka) and Burma were excluded, despite also being British colonies and having much in common with mainland India. While Sri Lanka is an island, what exactly made the boundary between the northeastern states and Burma?
The Moslem League were wild with their demands. The fact that they held India to ransom and actually achieved many of their goals is even wilder. They just absolutely wore down Congress and the British negotiators until they caved. Everybody could see how bad partition would be except the League, but they made partition or war the only options.
It wouldn’t have made everyone happy but Pakistan getting Kashmir valley, India getting Jammu and Ladakh with full population exchange (including Rohingya from Myanmar going to Pakistan) would have been the most long-term peaceful outcome.
As someone of Bangladeshi origins, man our forefathers were dumbasses for signing up for this logistical nightmare (never mind all the ethnic and political issues that happened between East and West Pakistan later on). Should’ve opted for independence or united with Bengal since the start.
Seriously high level of delusion seen here.
This should never have been entertained, nations are built upon common beliefs that can be achieved via promises not all Muslims are good not all Hindus are good both have evils and goods. Common Goodness should be promoted individually and common vices should be suppressed. Individual opinions of what Good and evil are should be practiced within people of same faith . Faith is dynamic changes every instance. By dividing INDIA foreigners insured it’s dependence on them.
Seems like a good idea. What could possibly go wrong?
Thanks Jinnah, for the Partition!!
Pakistani and their delusion, of a failed terror state
Looks like Pakistan got some land to get back.
I still don’t understand which dumbass thought that „yeah,we are gonna have a SINGLE Muslim country,totally ignoring that Bengal has their own culture,own history,own ethnicity etc.and it will certainly work out even tho a very large landmass like India in the middle“.
Just create three independent states you mf.
As a Bangladeshi,why the fuck were we even with Pakistan from Day 1?
It was absolutely politically short sighted lol.
The greatest political short-sightedness in history.
Imagine if all of muslim majority Kashmir went to Pakistan, and Bangladesh was independent from the beginning. There would be no terrorism in India, therefore leading to better ties with Pakistan, and there wouldn’t be ethnic cleansing and massacres against the Bengalis in East Pakistan. The entire region as a whole would have been much more prosperous.
The creation of Bangladesh is such a stupid idea. Brits are braindead
Politics aside, I find it fascinating that the descendants of Jinnah live in India.
Weird how they gave the entirety of Punjab and Bengal to Pakistan but didn’t carve out hyderabad.
Oh no my dick is in Pakistan! They all must suck it hard
Despite seeing the land baglas got i think they would still immigrate to india by sewer canals
Wish the partition was done properly. Muslims broke India into two on the basis’s of religion and majority of them stayed back because gandhi nehru believed vasudeva kutumbakum and wanted Muslims to stay back, he believed wrong people. Today the population of minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh has decreased but in india minorities population has increased. These are the very people cry and yap that majority in India is harsh to minorities.
Gandhi PR so strong he gaslit the entire nation into this
Queue a musical number about ’Partition’ to the tune of ‘Tradition’.
Edit: couldn’t sleep, so this exists now.
Who, in the sweltering heat of forty-seven,
Packed their lives in carts, fled across new lines?
Who faced the mobs and trains of blood and terror,
To claim a home unknown, under foreign signs?
The refugees, the refugees! Partition!
The refugees, the refugees! Partition!
Who drew the maps that sliced the subcontinent,
Ignited flames that burned through kin and kith?
Who promised freedom but delivered chaos,
And left the scars that time can’t fully myth?
The British, the British! Partition!
The British, the British! Partition!
