The video conferencing session between the two schools was conducted between students of Gyan Mandir Public School (Delhi, India) and Adamjee Model School (Karachi, Pakistan). The session was coordinated by Ms Anju Anand and Ms Devika Mittal from Indian side and Mr Usama Palla and Ms Suraya Islam from Pakistan. We're grateful they let us drop by!
The British tasked Cyril Radcliffe with the job of drawing a line to separate Punjab and Bengal provinces from India into East and West Pakistan. Muslims and Hindus weren’t the only ones being separated from each other. Sikhs and people from other faiths were affected as well.
A Sikh pilgrimage was divided because of the new border, Punjabi people of all faiths were separated from each other, and a culture was ultimately divided.
This Vox Borders episode looks at how the Radcliffe line changed Punjab and how communities are affected now.

UPDATE: An border crossing known as the Kartarpur Corridor has opened between India and Pakistan, linking two of the holiest sites in Sikhism for the first time in more than 70 years. The 4.7 kilometres corridor connects the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan to the border with India.
This is truly amazing for all Sikhs.
I hope the new generation forgive the sins of both their fathers and move past it eventually leading their generation to a new horizon.

''When the fish are fighting in their own pond, that is when you know the British were there''

Yep.
@@THALASA The Turks are not from Turkey, they are from Turkmenistan.

Punjabis and Bengalis were suffered the most. This bought a tear to my eye
Don't forget about us Sindhis! We lost all our land and there is no "Sindh" in India anymore
@@nittyrustdoneharvardfaker630 Sindhis are definitely the ones that lost the most. At the time of independence we should have pushed to get certain districts of Sindh.
They even looted the word "loot" from your language, after looting everything, and killing every rebel, and enslaving the rest.

Im turkish and have never heard that
It's Iranian!
@Tmb1112 And there are problems everywhere- Israel-Palestine, India-Pakistan, Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, to name a few.

Well , not whole Pakistani and bagladeshis.. Only minorities from those countries
My moms side of family was actually in India, Tripura. During partition they moved to east Pakistan which is now Bangladesh. Its been over 70 years but connection still remains. My grand father often sends fish(we are Bengali after all) over there to his friends. And his friend sends lots of to us fruits during summer.
My Grandfather had to leave his Zamindari in Mymensingh and settle in Calcutta in 1947. Till 1971 his former tenants who took over the land would still send him token bags of rice at every harvest. It stopped in 1971. We never found out what happened to them. My uncle stayed back in 1947. He had been a senior official in the British police and could not imagine anyone daring to attack him. He was killed in 1971.
My grandfather came from Syhlhet in present day Bangladesh to Darjeeling
beautiful!
My grandmother (nani) came from Pakistan to India due to partition, she used to tell us how back in their home in Pakistan they were sitting having tea and suddenly some Muslims came and threatened them to leave Pakistan, so they ran away without even taking a single piece of cloth with them...... her brothers and sisters all got divided while coming to India but fortunately they met after few years, all of them thought they died but they met and were so happy
It makes me feel sad, we were always the primary target. in my state uttarpradesh 4.9 crore muslims live, just imagine if my grandfathers threatened the muslims living in my state, but we never did these things as a good human. we were always fooled, they just hate us.
@@YourFuhrer1933The conflicts occured mostly in the border towns. All parties involved had it's fair share of skirmishes and mob violence in the border towns. It is also important to realise that our country is based on secularism, where as Pakistan was born based on the need for a Muslim state. In my state Kerala Hindus, Christians and Muslims co-exist peacefully.
@@vishnus8226 we just got more hate and division by secularism, we should have been secular but complete muslim population exchange should have happened
@@YourFuhrer1933 By saying we should have had complete muslim exchange, you have lost on secularism. Don't say that we can't do it. We can do it. But it requires trust from everyone and a willingness to acknowledge out mistakes.
@@YourFuhrer1933 Both sides did bad things, you need to take that in.
This dude probably took longer to make this video than that British lawyer did for making that border line.
Oh, that is obvious.
wizard680 it took 30 days to make border
Ahhh, the burn
Honestly I kind of feel bad for him, he gets the blame but really it was the British government's decision.
They said he was given what, a couple weeks to decide where to draw a dividing line between two entire new countries would be, given only census data and a little time to work.
It really should have been done over a couple years, with some temporary interim government elected from local communities would help make the decisions, with the future borders announced with months or years for everyone to move before the official division.
People needed to be in the highest of social and political circles to have been chosen for this job.
He probably had to do a lot of lobbying to get this job and would have made the assertion that he could do this job in a month ,even when he knew that he was not the right man for the job.
Strange how Britishers are taking years to finalize a Brexit deal but created two different countries in just months!
Niket Shukla no that’s because our government is useless and have a 6 week holiday in summer instead of sorting things out
@@Haybalemelonhead No only schools have 6 weeks off in the summer. All normal jobs resume

Spot on!

I’m not Indian, but it really pains my heart that people are separated simply out of haste and not proper negotiations. I can’t help but compare the Partition of India to the DMZ between North and South Korea following the Korean War, with many families being separated from each other for decades. I pray that, even if there is no reunification between India and Pakistan, people can visit each other’s “motherland” without any violence. Namaste and Salam to everyone in Hindustani (both India and Pakistan)🙏
Your comment is well-meaning. But it is not comparable with what happened in Korea. The creation of Pakistan was not something that was imposed by foreigners. It comes out of tensions between Muslims and Hindus that predate the British for centuries. The British Indian Muslims pushed for a Muslim state in the Indian continent.
@@ash9280 It was definitely imposed by foreigners. If the British wanted, India wudnt have been partitioned, but they had to act early, which they didn't, as they didn't care.
@@ash9280 The creation of 2 countries was to suit political interests of some people. I still don't see the need of a country based on religion in the subcontinent. If we divide the subcontinent on basis of language and religion, we would have a 100 countries in the Indian subcontinent.
@@phoenixbagri744completely political. Taking advantage of religious difference to advance politics. And the religious differences is to do with diet I blv. One eats one animal that other worships etc.. We are ok to go to moon but still hold such thoughts very seriously. Its difficult to explain this to people not raised in India.
@@phoenixbagri744bro the same thing is happening in South and North east of India
I have to share this story after watching this video.
A couple of weeks i my grandparents came to India after 3 years. Yesterday I was talking to my grandfather asking him everything about his past.
He told me he had to leave everything they owned and had to leave their town. Then I showed him Google Earth and searched his hometown. I showed him the street view and he was so happy when I told him that was were he had lived. I will remember his smile forever.
the problem that british made
1. Israel-palestine problem
2. Hongkong-china problem
3. Pakistan-india problem
how exactly did the British cause the Hong Kong problem
@@hugoherman3499 opium war, Qing dynasty ceded Hong Kong to British for 99 years
Much more than those three
You are absolutely right. Not just the British alone. Basically western powers created problems in all their ex-colonies. Besides the ones you have mentioned, Africa is a massive example.
@@Shadow_Dragon546 so they have went to war with a country and they have taken territory from them? Something that literally every empire have done?

So deep
Well said
Im dead laughing.
the fact that those kids are talking to each other with just innocence is just heartbreaking when you put into context what the leaders of both countries are doing. i hope the youth finds it in themselves to not give in to the hate!
youth supports hindu nationalism in india electorates says all
It would be awesome if you can add to the borders-india series with a couple episodes from the POV of Pakistan. It would dispel a lot of the misconceptions that people have of that place!
As someone who was born in pakistan, with grandparents from india, a sikh best friend and currently living in England, this series is pretty much perfect for me aha.
British people learning history : "so we're the bad guys?"
Your forgetting the rest of the colonization gang. France, Spain, Portugal, and Britain.
@Gurnaj Virk Tbh we were mostly taught about WW1 and WW2 in history. Well that's what I remember anyway. This stuff needs to be on the curriculum.
Gurnaj Virk at school you learn about great power figures like the Tudors and also about moments the supposedly started the modern world of democracy (magna carta), then you go a bit into the industrial revolution and some of its effect of that before slipping into the world wars and the cold wars. At uni, you gain a more complex view of Britain’s role in the world and all I can say is that first year me was shocked that partition is hardly ever talked about and almost never taught in schools
Gurnaj Virk what so the British are the only people that conquered and killed people? We all know if India had had the technological prowess in the 1800’s then they would’ve colonised Europe. It is human nature to conquer your neighbours. In U.K. schools we are taught mostly about medieval Europe and the renaissance, not that we ‘civilised the world’. Although can you really argue against that? If it wasn’t for Britain there would be no industrial revolution. No railroads or factories
always has been🔫🚶♂
Ok but that sikh committee still talking care of the Muslim shrines literally melted my heart, God bless them.
right
Credit goes to british
@@nextleveleveryday7535 yes, credit the British which made the previous community abandon the site in the first place.

🙏 🤲 respect for you sir! Thankyou so much for uniting our thoughts. Never ever cried in a video before this. Hope someday we will break the borders and unite once again. Love from india 🇮🇳 ♥️
This is one of the more incredible videos Vox has done, easily a top 5. When you realize how similar the cultures are, your heart just aches. The way Gandhi's heart probably ached when he saw it happening. What a mistake. You just want them to get along.
I was genuinely touched by the way in which Sikhs in that town meticulously cared for the Muslim graves. I can't think of a more powerful demonstration of respect.
Yes same as a Muslim I am truly thankful for their respect and I know that the people in my area would do the same because at the end of the day we’re all family 🇵🇰🇮🇳 i know that one day Pakistanis and Indians will unite once more after our governments stop being so anti India or anti Pakistan
@@SamSam-yt6xn As much as I want, it so looks out of the picture rn. Once it was just our plain patriotism and a sense of xenophobia on both ends. Now there's a lot of international involvement too plus populations on both ends need to realise what's best and not be convinced by a certain narrative set to them. US and China have also involved themselves in our issue now making it a more complex one
As a Muslim, that one act of humbleness shows that Sikhs are very kind people that are caring. We may not share the same beliefs, but we share common morals.
@@SSGJafri but sikhism is a false religion and the 10 gurus were liers.
Sikhs are the best - what tradition has men cover their hair and not women? True patriarchs there.

Dude this had me emotional. I'm missing those people more and more now
As a Korean, I can relate. A border drawn without the permission of the people. A border that separates families, a border that separates the same people.
Edit: When I said "same people", I don't mean the Indian and Pakistani people as a whole. I was referring to the few ethnic groups on the border who were divided.
And of course, instigation from politicians
@@HarkunwarSinghKochar Pakistan has religious freedom aswell, i literally ..
That seems like an amazing place btw, what part of korea you from?
Korea was unlawfully separated by the US thugs. It's a tragedy what happened to your country.
We get your pain too.
Let's be honest guys. The British draws terrible maps:
-India and Pakistan
-Israel and Palestine
- The whole Middle East
-Africa's
-etc.
Sang Pham it’s on purpose, the brits knew what they were doing.
Whow!
Just let those guys never negotiate borders.
Who are they to draw lines?
They did it on purpose so that people will fight among themselves, otherwise these british colonies would go on for wars (world war 3) in future against British.
I know that it's a very popular idea in India that the crisis of the partition was all British fault. The reality, however is more complex. It were neither British, nor politicians who forced people to leave, ambushed trains and killed refugees. The very reason the parition was required lied in the fact that peaceful coexistence inside united India was deemed impossible, and this point of view enjoyed wide popular support. The British may have made a mistake or two or three, but the regilious anymosity was not invented by the British or the politicians.
divide and rule policies were foisted upon us for more than a century by the brits so it does go back to them, do your homework
It was the British's fault, and that happened almost 40 years ago, they slowly started to exploit religion as a means to control us. If I could point out to the one perticular event, it would be the creation of the All India Muslim League! INC opposed it, but the British supported it and started showing favouritism! This was but one of the countless ways they exploited us to keep their power in check!
@@shishirtripathi8223 I've done plenty of homework, I am quite familiar with "divide and conquer". The reality, however, is that the Brits did not create the divide, they merely exploited it, nor did they encourage the cruel methods of settling differences. Both existed before the Brits came and persisted after they left. So, while it is convenient to shift responsibility, the Brits take maybe 10% of the blame.
100% agree with you. Islam cannot exist until there are kafirs on Earth.
Let's hope there will be an Islam free Earth🌎
Direct action day and what led to it plus khilafat moment. The Muslim landlords who were against land reforms and didn’t fight for independence are all very key elements that are still not talked about.
when i see the teacher doing the video call,
i got to tears.
that was deep, nearly 74 years gone by

As soon as I heard "British lawyer drew the borders" everything made sense
british: 😂let's separate sikhs into Pakistanis sikhs and indian sikhs by drawing a border.
its like if you bring a plumber to fix a chair but there blind
everything started to make sense
@25 years ago until the British partitioned
@25 years ago All people are wonderful, it is just a few bad apples that have selfish needs. I don't which people you are referring to as "mean" but again everything is for a reason and a reason for someone to backlash could be because they are being controlled by an external power such as UK did to Pakistan and India.
indian partition: just get a guy to draw a line lol it's not so hard btw you have 4 months
brexit: *screams in british for 3 years*
subtitle [screaming continues]
tbh Brexit is being held up by another partition project that was supposed to prevent conflict
And it worked so well in Ireland that it caused two civil wars in 100 years.
Brexit manages to become even more exponentially ridiculous and hypocritical the more you learn.
🤹🏾🇵🇰 🇮🇳 🇧🇩 💂
Yeah that should do it, thnx for the soldiers bye.
🇨🇮 🇬🇧 🤽 🇪🇺
Britain: I want my independence! And I won't leave until you stop asking me all these hard questions I didn't prepare for!
Both Brexit and the Indian Partition have centuries of political history behind them. The basic principle is that no major change in governmental structures can ever be achieved in a way which satisfies everybody, and discussions on the best way to achieve the change will continually postpone the moment when an agreement is reached. The alternative is destroying the existing arrangements and leaving negotiations on the awkward details of the new arrangements until afterwards, when any compromise is better than total chaos.
Screams in British?.... Do you mean English?
This was very emotional and I have absolutely no connection to that part of the world. Thank you, Johnny Harris, for being an amazing human being

No hate but I think it’s because Muslims and Hindus weren’t getting along well and there were discriminatory acts on both sides that are still taking place today. We still have problems with each other but we need to solve the Kashmir problem democratically and become friendly neighbours

Aur history book mein Gandhi ki Jay Jay Kar karte hai
And they were in debt because they tried socialism.
Fk no... there were many reasons...
The INA growing stronger was one the reasons...
@@zoephin6205 Did you forget about WW2? You know the war where the British went heavily into debt to fight the Germans?
Zoe Phin no they were in debt because of WW2. Same as most of Europe then
Those who are saying we are the same people (hindus and muslims) and lived peacefully before partition, are the biggest liars or dont know a thing about histroy
We are totally different people when it comes to our beliefs.
One is a religion from outside with set rules
and other is culture evolved in this land we called bharat
Tears come when I think about this event. British gone but devides us in peices. 😞I love my real India , miss you India
Earth: i will provide a land to all the religious people.
British: Wait. That's illegal.
Literally, when Francis Walsingham and Walter Raleigh etc. were exploring the world in the 1500s (1570s I think), Queen Elizabeth gave them permission to "conquer"/colonise anywhere that wasn't Christian, and claim it for England.
Earth also provides lands to non religious people too bud
Muslim Nationalism and Hindu Nationalism were both growing in popularity before the partition. It is highly likely Muslims would be persecuted by the Hindu majority if the partition never happened.
Kozv that’s funny because Muslims in Pakistan are the ones that actually persecute people who aren’t even Muslims it’s become so bad that India now allows people from neighboring muslim countries to come to India if they are being persecuted for their religious views or lack of it
@@Kozvick blah blah blah
Those Indian and Pakistani kid's interaction gave me goosebumps 😍 What an amazing video Vox. wow!!!
Me too brother.
But if thats true and whats taught in pakistan schools (and in many madarassas in India) is not hatred for Hindustan, then really goosebump worth only I agree, but I have a doubt, I also wonder if India and pakistan are same even after partition, then where are the Hindu temples built in pakistan before partition and where are the Hindus that stayed in pakistan after partition.
Have you seen the map of India??
@@apurbadas4646 DO you think thats a scripted part (that school interaction part) or a natural incident taken video?
@@bharusiva477 Children are inherently innocent before the venom of Hatred injected into their brains. We are still proudly playing the script created by British to destabilize the subcontinent.
Thank you for this video from core of my ❤ Sometimes there are not enough words to say how Thankful we are for this video.
Thank you!
My grandmother's dad lived in Pakistan's side before partion...so at the time of partition he and one of his frnds took one blanket and left Pakistan(blanket bcuz there was no space on trains and had no time also to take any other thing, so took a blanket if they would have to sleep on roads). They boarded a train. Everywhere you can see where people in terror and dead bodies lying around. Muslims were killing all hindus on that train. It was evening and grandma's dad went to toilet, he listened people crying and screaming, he was terrified and waited in toilet. Nearly after an hour he came out and when he went to his coach he saw his frnd beheaded and many people dead and people who survived where crying. He explains that he couldn't understand anything and he felt like dying. He lost his frnd and reached Assam with dead bodies all around.
Partition was one of the most horrific events this land has ever seen
Thanks Britain
I'm Indian and wasn't aware of those Skype calls. This is so pure I love it.
@@trollrat2828 for real man.. Why can't just people appreciate each other with goodwill
@@trollrat2828 Sadly, some people have not learnt anything from the outcome we have seen of hated through partition. Who knows when humanity will actually exist.
But it was Jinnah who came with 2 nation theory. Don't blame just British Jinnah is equally responsible for partition
@@PoorPakistanisSurrenderwasFant exactly, I dont see how Muslims never wanna blame jinnah and the muslim league..
@@PoorPakistanisSurrenderwasFant actually ask historians it was savrakar then jinnah
better come out from that whatsapp facts
A big respect to the sikhs taking care of muslim graves .
Being a hindu (though I don't believe in God). Sikhs are the most generous people.
SuBhaYU BiSwaS then your atheist that's the unique thing with religion so you should study them and the Bible is the most man made try it you will see
Agree . I almost cried on that clip , respect for them

When lady teacher said- "before partition, we Pakistanis and Indians used to live together in the same place", it's just broke my heart, because of their foult (Britishers) we are now separated from each other.
Extremely well done episode! Kudos!!
Those students calling eachother, showing them their lunch, realizing we’re all the same people was so wholesome. Love from 🇧🇩
Hey dude! I just want to know what they teach you in school a d what people's opinions are on the 1971 war. In Pakistan it is considered a painful inevitability of sorts.
@@destruct0503 I didn't go to school here but pretty sure rounding up and killing 9 million people, mostly civilians, was not an inevitability. I have Pakistani friends whose parents lived in BD in 1971 and they were very ashamed of these actions.
Pakistan is son of india.... Its born from our land so be mindful of that son...... And also islam is religion of terrorist
@@darveshgupta8860 ok now you are just being arrogant... Not every Muslim IS a terrorist -_-
And Pakistan, India and Bangladesh are sons of The Indian Subcontinent (akhand bharat) .. that makes pakistan and bangladesh our brother..... And people like you are the reason of communal hatred between people... Grow up and stop getting manipulated by these politicians
@@darveshgupta8860 Not every muslim is a terrorist I am a muslim that offends me people like you are dead brain stereotypicial nobodys, and also pakistans are indians aren't dad and son there like siblings, I could say considering I am a pakistani.

Sikh and Bengali know the pain and other can only imagine. I have heard many stories from my grandmother. Really got emotional after watching this doc
Not only sikh but hindus of Pakistan also......
Whenever international media cover this part of Subcontinental history they always focus on Punjab when Bengal also suffered as much as they did.
Why does every sad story start with the Britishers drawing a line on the map
Jonny.... This how to your grandmother died,
You see...the British drew a line on the map....
They got too much land
Because white people like to colonize or exert influence on brown countries.
*India and Paskistan back then was British Raq so they were both Occupy by the british.*
@@gulerehan8625 actually because of that line many hundred thousand people died in the migration
Ah yes, the Brits and their infinite wisdom to ruin the globe.
Probably be a better place if they hadn't left.
@@ElGrandoCaymano lol... The biggest joke of the century!! Indias GDP went from 35 percent to 2 percent of the global GDP and look at India's GDP growth rates now. Get over the fact that you guys messed up, distorting history isn't gonna help anyone or a good sleep at night for you maybe.
@@darkenshine I think someone's been drinking too much of Shashi Tharoor's made up statistics. He makes up these falsehoods to try and prove a 'victimhood' status and ignores the enormous increase in global GDP due to the the European long peace of the 1800s, industrial revolution and emergence of the USA, united Germany and Japan.
@@ElGrandoCaymano thing is show me one good reason to believe that we were better off being colonised. All the reasons I can find is "trains and bridges" and I can give you my first hand history lesson of my family if you want. Dont try to teach me my own history while you guys don't study a single line of colonial history in your school. Amazing how shameless one can be.
@@darkenshine I'll let you research that yourself, but beside the obvious like the English language, legal system, cricket, democracy, civil administration, end of suttee, protection of national monuments, etc.etc. modern Indian wouldn't even exit today. It would still be a set up 50 different minor states, probably speaking Russian or Japanese now.
There's a story in my family of how my grandfather's father was a man of many countries. He hailed from Bangladesh lived in Pakistan for a while then settled near Bengal/Bihar. Ofcourse he really travelled within one nation then. Wish I could learn more
Even Foriegners understood that this hatred is all driven by both sides leaders but not by the people around both countries, at some point of this video I became emotional to see their love and respect for muslim holy places and same as here in Pakistan. Most of my ancestors were also not in favour of partioning and now I realized that they were true.
Please read about what the khilafat movement was. Hatred does exist but it’s from the side that is still ruled by Islamic fanatics. Don’t just blanket blame. Thanks
This video should be part of World History in public schools. Why isn't this topic given more weight? Great video, Johnny!
Especially considering it's so recent. Instead of learning about the damn Tudors we should be learning about the recent events that have shaped the world we live in today.
E A Funnily enough, I never learned about the tudors in history but we did spend a couple months looking at India’s history and the division of pakistan and india. The US lacks any sort of consistency of education between states and counties.
There was a whole 1 1/2 month unit about India/Pakistan in modern world history in my sophomore year.
Because this is a mess by white imperialists obviously they aint gonna talk about it.
The textbooks of children in both countries are washed to look as if all efforts for freedom was done by their own people and portray the other country as an enemy.
My grandfather had many brothers and sisters (around 7 or 9 can't remember exactly) and only 2 of them came to pakistan, rest of them stayed in india. So much of our family, our roots, our ancestral property is in india and it saddens me that I'll never get to meet any of them or see anything from my grandfathers childhood
All of his brothers and sisters passed away and he couldn't even visit them all
Now in his old age, his dementia sometimes makes him hallucinate and he speaks as if he's back in india, with his older sister, in their childhood home. It's been nearly a century but the trauma of this partition is still fresh in some people's hearts..
😭, sorry for ur grandfather. Love from India ❤️
why can't you come and search my dear..at least give a try
U are welcome in India anytime u want we're not terrorists as people on both sides think.
It's truly sad how it broke your family...
you should try for a visa
but real bad thing is that coming back is difficult
One of the best documentary I've ever seen keep it up man good job.
Very Well Presented & Narrated by Johnny Harris. Kudos to your efforts Johnny. waiting for Many more to see.
My grandfather born in India...❤
My father born in Pakistan...❤
I born in Bangladesh ❤
One place but 3 name..ha ha ha😍😍
So your grandfather was born in India and later it became East pakistan and then it became Bangladesh. Is that right.
@@captainnoodlez1718 I don't get it

British Raj in WW II and before (India)
East Pakistan before 1970's
Bangladesh after 1971
so you are a partition baby then or a real Asian baby then
Same with me. And now I am American.
Bangladesh sees the video
*Cries in the corner*
Are you from bangladesh
@@aditya2805 Yeah
@Shahrukh Shah pakistan did mass genocide on us...
@Shahrukh Shah google "Bangladesh genocide" and "Bangladesh war of independence"
It'd be weird if they don't cover Bangladesh in one of the next episodes. Just wait and see.
Division was necessary!! Hats off to British Empire and especially Redcliffe
Great work bro you gain my respect
Can we just appreciate the video *quality* and *editing* being done here 🔥
He is always awesome
It's a company. Of course, it's gonna have production quality.
the magic of Vox
lets admit it, the ONLY REASON we watch VOX is this SERIES (Johnny) and OBSERVATORIES (joss Fong)
punjabis you are not alone you are joined by arabs in mesopotamia swahilis in east africa bengalis in east india and others
Really helpful information
It is a good thing they are doing the show together, the bad thing is their celebration not based on their close culture of being in the sub continent, but to their respective nations.
I love this series! So happy it’s back!
Ikr?
?
Once in a while great stories like this come out, which gives me hope. Everything on the internet is always purposely depressing, trying to get us riled up and fight against each other. If we could all see past our created differences, the world would improve for the better
I'm very happy its back
