Had enough of Aman Ki Ashassholes wishing Pakistan a happy bloody Independence Day. Instead of remembering what mayhem it caused  like a million deaths for their indulgence

Partition marked one of the largest mass migrations in human history. And the atrocities that went with it.

 

That mofo Jinnah is squarely to blame. Their whole country was built on the lie that Hindus and Muslims can't live together.

 

Befitting that on the day they celebrate their "independence", attention is drawn to the mayhem they caused.

Never again succumb to people who divide the country. 

 

 

 

Personally I felt Pakistan India separation was better for India in long run.

 

Whole region of Pakistan would have been bigger headache than it is now with feudal lords trying to maintain their influence.

Before 'Breaking India' forces make their move towards next partition, they must be hunted down and crushed ruthlessly. Obviously they won't be successful in their despicable attempts but can halt our progress a long way, and cause immense suffering to Indian citizens.  

 

Assam (in fact whole of NE), Bengal is the next major tinderbox, huge demographics battle on ground. Indian state must come out of its slumber.

Fantastic move by Modi, and about *ing time. He is on a roll now, long may this continue.

 

Next step must be to internationalize this day, get it recognized in UN or something. Along the lines of Holocaust Remembrance Day and Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. Most of the world is unaware of the horrors of our partition (even other horrors preceding it like Noakhali pogrom and Direct Action Day genocide in Calcutta ordered and carried out by Muslim League), about time we educate them.

 

And not just this we need to be more ambitious and also do something to highlight 1943 Bengal Famine orchestrated by the Brits under Churchill, evil must always be exposed. Churchill is a hero right now, venerated by the West, why can't we showcase our narrative and present real world history? 3 million people died in that famine, one of the largest in human history and done deliberately by the colonizers. Puzzling why we aren't more confrontational with UK about horrors inflicted upon Indians before '47? Instead we celebrate being part of the Commonwealth.

Libbus and Islamists crying again, these are the rats who celebrate Pakistan's I-day more than India's...khaate idhar ka, gaate udhar ka. Modi never mentioned a religion or Pakistan (even if he mentioned the latter, what's wrong?), why are these pests so defensive now?

 

This is to remember victims of partition, just like how people remember Hiroshima/Nagasaki or Auschwitz victims. Should be a compulsory black flag day in India, with our masts lowered, and every school in India must mark this occasion to pay homage to partition victims. Teach some real history to the kids instead of sugarcoating our gory past. And FGS stop exchanging gifts/sweets with Pakistani terrorists in uniform.

A day in remembrance for the victims of partition is long overdue. I am surprised it took our government this long.

 

That said, I feel India benefited more from partition than Pakistan. 75 years on, India is winning medals at the Olympics, sending vehicles to Moon, Mars etc. Pakistan is best known for hobnobbing the likes of Bin Laden and Mullah Omar.

We are certainly paying a very high cost for negating some of our historic realities. This country was formed under very complicated circumstances and driving factor was religion. Majority of Muslims did vote for Jinnah who seemed to be representing their interest. Post independence most of them remained in India.

 

This is complicated and we took the approach of being overly accommodating politically and constitutionally to make them feel a part. This made sense to a degree except that it came at the cost of the core identity of this land. There was also peer pressure to disprove two nation theory, which was Nehru’s primary goal. In some sense Alamo Iqbal had greater clarity. If we have fundamental disagreements on historic value of Mughals in this land, then we cannot stay together. I tend to agree with him. 
 

The consequences however suggest that this appeasement stuff, plus this plurality narrative  and socialist tilt in 1955 did not work out for this country. Perhaps one nation one law and one identity ( Indian )  is what would have homogenized the people. By focus so much on religious and cultural identity and playing down the majority one you are creating pressure cooker situation which would reveal itself in years to come. 
 

Now I don’t see how we can get this country closer and focused. The identities are getting more entrenched.
