    Imagine all those people who had to leave their loved ones without getting a chance to say goodbyes, the passionate lovers, in their 20s, 30s, the love, the affection, the pain of losing someone you loved, the scar of that love, two bleeding hearts, longing to meet and hold hands and say things, the longing that never ends and haunts you every single day. It breaks my heart.

      It is traumatizing to even listen to these stories. It was worse than just 2 countries divided on the basis of faith. It was friends, family turning against one another. My grandfather's sister and her entire family had to migrate to pakistan..and all of them were shot dead during the course of violence that took place. None were spared, the youngest being just 3 year old. No burial, no grave, no goodbye..nothing. Thousands shared the same fate. 😓

      @@abantisarkar2055 i dont think we can fully comprehend what led to such bloodbath. Maybe distrust, disrespect, anger, misgivings were so deeply rooted into the minds of people, that they just needed a reason to blame anyone that was conveniently there at that time and had a different opinion. A false dream, wrapped in linen was sold to the people and they bought it in hopes of a better tomorrow. I have read countless books on partition, each one recounts equally horrific details of those times, be it in india or pakistan.

When "disrespect" and "hatred" become the new normal for people, when they become comfortable in their prejudices and bias, thts when society falls from grace. Adding to it when there is hunger, poverty, encroachment upon one's right and overall downfall of social structure, people become angry. That anger needs someone to blame. Thats where politics comes in,- they brew hatred among the masses and turn them against each other. Whts is left is a ticking bomb waiting to explode on slightest of provocations. That is what happened during world war, holocaust, partition, etc.

      Don't blame for what she(shreyan datta gupta) said.
      I agree 110% with the statement of "shreyan datta gupta", that it is the hardline "SALAFI" ideology which is responsible for the terrorism in the name of Islam nowadays.
      The "SALAFISM" sect is a different newly formed group within Islam. It originated as revivalist movement in Nejd, Saudi Arabia in and around AD 1744.
      "SALAFISM" is also known as "Ahl-e-Hadith" in North Indian states and as "WAHHAABISM" in Gulf countries. To know further about Salafism(also known as WAHHAABISM), take a casual search in the Google and deep dive into the articles relating to it.
      And also the below listed are some of the Sub sects which are also ideologically deeprooted or Inspired in the extremist "SALAFIST" Ideology. Year of foundation is given in brackets.
      1. Deoband(1866)
      2. Tablighi Jamaat(1926 - an offshoot of Deoband)
      3. Jamaat-e-Islami(Founded as a political Islamic movement in 1941 at Lahore, Pakistan by "Maulaana Maududi". This sect secretly advocates & works to turn secular India into Islamic India. Jamat-e-Islami is very much similar to the "IKHWAANI(Muslim Brotherhood) in Arab countries which was founded in 1928 in Egypt. "Maududi" got his inspiration to form Islamic political party or in other words Politicisation of Islam from "IKHWAANI" which follows the "SALAFI" version of Islam.)
      Special Note:
      ● Neither the Traditionalist Sunnis(Peace loving spiritual Sufis too) nor Shias & Ahmadiyyas promotes extemism, violence & terrorism.
      Key Note:
      Religion & Religious beliefs should be a personal affair. The day it becomes a political matter, then there wil be TROUBLES.
      ** Religion should never be introduced into POLITICS.♡
      As a Liberal & Moderate "TRADITIONALIST SUNNI" Muslim here's my advice:
      1. "Religious leaders should never speak about political matters" and must not pledge alliance to any Political party for any gains.
      2. "Political leaders should never speak about Religious" issues like promising benefits for people of any particular community like Reservation, Grants, construction of temple/mosque/church.

      The Parts Of The Quran That is Used To Justify Violence Against Christians....
      Quran (9:29): “Fight against Christians and Jews until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.”
      Quran (5:51): “Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.”
      Quran (2:65-66): “Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.”
      Quran (5:51): “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
      Quran (9:30): "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

    Both my grandparents were from India. We still have some family there in Jhalandar. My dada was born in Patiala, and his mothers father was the Governor of Patiala. His father was a famed literary scholar there and they still have his statue in the museum of patiala, while some members of my family still have ties with the Maharaja Patiala. The Maharaja had invited our family as state guests in 2005 to revisit our old house in Patiala. My grandfather is no more in this world, we lost him last year, but I remember no day gone when he did not mention about his childhood home in Patiala. We were still the few lucky ones I believe, who reached Pakistan in a better exchanged condition than most, but till date it aches my heart to see the eyes of many yearning to live those days back again when the ideation of this ugly partition has not even been conceptualised. In his last few months, my dada had dementia, and he had gone back to his house in Patiala, and he would not recognise the house we live in, in Lahore today. That was the most painful thing to watch, as it made my heart sink, to realise that I could do nothing to give him that lost house and childhood again.

    My great grandmother fleed from Pakistan along with a young boy ( my nanu) and a newborn ( nanu's brother) in 1947 while my great grandfather was already in Calcutta for business purposes.
    Before she passed away in 2010, she had periods where the only memories she could think of were of the pre partition era.
    While I have never been to Pakistan or had first hand experience of the partition, I still often wonder what life would be, had my ancestors lived peacefully in their homeland. NOBODY should have to go through this. 6 minutes into this video, and I had tears in my eyes. We can only imagine how emotional it would have been for those gentlemen and ladoes in the video.
    I wish my great grandmother was alive today to experience this. I really do. She deserved to be able to see this through VR or google earth satellite images or even video calls with someone who lives there.
