A date leader across the newly drawn border leaders celebrate the birth of the republic of the india. Freed from colonial rule the creation of these 2 countries completes a long struggle for independence years ago rebated but it didnt. And now. Im calm and then been shown to be my big. Foot even before the celebrations are over chaos erupts. Panic and fear sets in as neighbor turns on neighbor unleashing mass violence. Millions leave their homes. And celebrations war was marked by blood they took place against the backdrop of perfect violence. And. People who a year before we tended to each others wedding parties drink each other raping each others daughters roasting each others babies on the spit. With human passion. None of us can can foresee what could happen. While historians recount the horrors of the past for those who lived through them its like yesterday. Were going to. Have been lucky though when the yardbird or tower monday were going to monitor. The 86 year old Joginder Singh kohli was a young teenager in india at the time. 70 years on he still remembers how muslims hindus and sikhs turn on each other. Or when they walk you know one if you will go if you. Leave rated movie. With the word in the out. Of a guy. Again then of the middle. Or sorry but the word one of the would want to go to.

On the other side of the border in pakistan the memories are just as strong in 1947 saladin colleagues family were muslims in india hes never forgotten how he escaped the killing but others didnt. We were staying in our house on 6 september 19th 476 oclock when my mother was saying a spear i heard a shriek cowing somebody. I turned and i saw a stick with the sword in the hand coming in my sisters body and. Was the enter the. Room of my mother killed her and they ran. Toward us. This is the house. Saladin fled his home in fear of his life when he returned the horror lay in front of him when i enter the house it was just making the euro the. House nothing sort of holds. Then you see your own mother. Drenched in blood. And stomach open. Then coming up. How would. How did it all come to this. Many point the finger at indias then colonial masters. When britain ruled india it was the giulini empires crown plundered for its natural resources. But in the devastating aftermath of world war 2 britain had its own problems on the home front. Was returned with renewed interest in the beginning of the country and bankrupted itself fighting itself to death of the nazis. And so british Authorities Say that it was the exhaustion of them power and the bankruptcy of the mother country that led to the realization that the simply no way the british could keep this enormous empire in chains the moment to come to head back home to a land of rationing drizzle low light and leave the exotic plagues of india behind. After decades of crushing any Movement TowardsIndian Independence postwar britain had not had the will or the might to fold on to its calm. There was massive demonstrations across india. And there was. An awareness that the leaders the film struggle could call strikes and protests which would paralyze the country. Seizing the moment of british weakness 3 leaders spearheaded the push for independence. You are allowed nehru Mohammad Ali Jinnah and 100 gandhi. At 1st they shared the goal of a free and united india one country one people regardless of religion. Thousands of national the great time to hear the message of gandhi leader of the demands for indias independence. Was mark my god you mobilize the masses who gave them the language of things like civil disobedience and nonviolence who spoke of the national the struggle is a struggle for truth he gave it a strong modernistic fervor and he completely inspired the masses to rise up behind him or gandhi himself a lifelong preacher of nonviolence and down the when tom fairly quickly to establish himself as the spiritual leader of the Indian National congress led freedom struggle. The Indian National congress was a Political Party made up of the elite of hindu and muslim society. It had been pushing for self rule since the turn of the 20th century. With gandhis mobilization of the masses the party transformed into a populist movement and attracted new leaders with new ambitions men like to warlow me root never was very attracted to my gandhi and gandhi was very impressed with him and he was gone these handpicked provision to lead the the sort of Political Party or National Movement gandhi himself never took any political position didnt want one and nearly everything from leading the Indian National congress as one of its youngest ever president s to becoming eventually the 1st Prime Minister of independent india mr nestor presided over the 1st Cabinet Meeting both nehru and gandhi were hindus but the 3rd member of the influential trio was a Muslim Mohammed ali jinnah one of the legion or was an extremely interesting man educated very anglo file in fact culturally far more on your file than the new the nehru of gandhi over his dressed in western clothes had were. Stern habit through your discussion and his source of yours and his ham sandwiches he wasnt particularly strongly Observant Muslim and a man who was hailed. As the ambassador of hindu muslim youth. A lawyer jinnah began his political life within the hindu dominated Indian National congress. Later on he also joined the muslim e a group protecting the Muslim Minority. Both parties were fighting for an independent india which at the time was ginas ultimate goal jinnah in strongly opposed to the idea of a separate muslim nation and indeed he is saying this is british divide and rule they want us to be divided weve got to stand together weve got to fight for our freedom if we dont fight for our freedom to get that we will never be free but he increasingly gets sidelined by a new Younger Generation of leadership among whom particularly there is there is never who is his nemesis handed now who calls for an indian republic is accused by the league of working for domination over the Muslim Minority but are making everyone with britains grip on india weakening nehru and the Indian National congress grew in power. Nehru wanted a new india to have a strong Central Government run by his party. This alarmed general who argued muslim majority regions should govern themselves. It was a losing battle you know realized that given the imbalance in Political Support between the league and the congress the only way the league was ever going to actually come to any significant power was by advocating a separatist plan. Thousands of kilometers away in London Records reveal deeper insights into the fall out between geno and me room and this is one of the repository of which the numbers. At the National Archives private letters jinnah sent to british officials shows a relationship beyond repair at this point is extremely suspicious of the congress and he feels assets propose it would be prepared to seize power by force that the may have been infiltrated the Indian National army. And that he regrets thats the Muslim League hadnt organized in the same way so were talking a serious mistrust of this yet i think this in the Case Complete breakdown in trust between between the 2 policies and the and the you know its the leadership of those policies new delhi and although the scene looks quite generous and nehru had 1st come together to fight the british now they were fighting each other the servant is against the muslim leave the danger of life by 946 any hope of a united india had evaporated order with god but i believe the service enmity between muslim and him the breakdown at the top of indian politics was mirrored on the streets as tension spilled over into violence. Chaos erupted in major cities 1st because of a grim audio post by british an indian probe during the worst drought in the history of calcutta. Road vantec in many places higher pitched battles continued between muslims and windows for muslims the fear of being ruled by hindus convinced them they needed their own separate nation. Even jinnah the man once hailed as the symbol of hindu muslim unity now demanded an independent pakistan. After a sentry of british power in india the empires hand was finally forced. Charged with overseeing the withdrawal was a decorated while officer one who would go down in infamy. Now battered. New delhi airfield and the arrival of the by so i designate my baton is a sort of vaguely comic character looking back. Prancing peacock who loved his roads and costumes and love to appear as the viceroy not particulate matter. A man of some christmas a man of great sort of personal selfworth he was received i think he you know whatever little homework he did was fairly modest and when he got to india i think it was a crash course he started meeting the various leaders had his own likes and dislikes inevitably but very quickly decided that this thing had to be this hot potato had to be dropped as quickly as possible and mr byrd his hands and those of his or those of his masters as his the english government lord and lady mountbatten have taken their places on the grounds because we became viceroy of india in march 947 britain had originally planned to leave india more than a year later in june 1988. But mountbatten wasnt going to wait that long monbiot misheard to accelerate even faster partly because he found his control on the control of the british soldiers over india slipping and so here. To august 15th 147 and with that headlong rush into disaster happened with the british unable and unwilling to prevent some of the horrors that were unfolding before their very eyes horrors unleashed by hastily drawn lines on a map the north was state of punjab was home to hindus sikhs but mostly muslims it was split with one side forming the bulk of pakistan in the northeast of india the state of bengal was cut into the predominantly muslim eastern half made up another part of pakistan separated by nearly 2000 kilometers of indian territory it would eventually become the independent country of bangladesh was it well father was ill thought out. When the british had to draw a line they pulled in the Civil Servant who had never been to india before and was sitting in his cots while garden when he was told that he had fly next week to india and divide the country into. And no one was pleased with the line he drew inevitably. The stage was set for british rolled again in august 1947 as the flags of india and pakistan were raised ordinary citizens were left in the dark as to what this meant for them. On the actual day of partition in august that show boundary hadnt been uncivil to know whether they were in india or pakistan where they could stay where they lived for centuries where theyd have to move and its only after the people tune into their ideas to hear whether they will now be part of pakistan or india everyone. Suddenly people found themselves on the wrong side of a new border muslims in india are hindus and sikhs in pakistan. There had been ethnic fighting between muslims hindus and sikhs before the partition set off an unimaginable massacre out of the horrors of fires like the blitz the the villages are opening hayricks are on the platforms a literally wash with blood because hello to hindus waiting on the platform to travel to india to be massacred on another platform was covered in blood because the training just arrived from india full of dead muslims. Total chaos. In the rural areas hideous scenes of pregnant women lying with their bellies ripped open the babies literally rested on the beds and journalists in 94 the 7 who had covered the opening of the nazi concentration camp there were 2 or 3 journalists who had covered that and then they ended up covering partition and they said that they saw more gruesome things in the punjab punches side than they ever did in the concentration camps muggle born white the photographer writes a graphic description and she says yeah i saw it but what i saw in the punjab was a 1000000 times. At the time the british estimated 200000 died in the violence the consensus today among most historians is that the death toll was at least a 1000000 and the british had lost control long before partition and that became clearly evident and visible in 97 but in a way more terrible than anyone had ever expected. It was a complete and utter mess total mirth. Some suggest that britain was aware of the impending horrors that would come with dividing up the indian subcontinent it was a mess made worse by britain abandoning its colonies so quickly in the stockmen which is which is a telegram from the Foreign Office to its evidence in the National Archives suggests british leaders knew months before that Ethnic Violence was spiraling dangerously out of control over 10000 persons have been killed and many more injured over the last 6 months of the Previous Year had been extensive communal violence so we actually use the words civil war yes yes they mention they are. Widespread recrudescence a man single most an organized and spontaneous civil war. The british were pretty much aware well through the fortys that the communities were all about they didnt want to get involved in what they regarded as the subcontinent pretty arctic descent into communal frenzy. Famously goes on Hunger Strike begging for peace and mary was weeping and broken but. There are no images i think about passion in head bowed in shame. History is so often told through the eyes of the leaders. But in india just 30 kilometers from the border with pakistan this building is being transformed into a new museum keeping alive the memory of those who suffered the most partisan is not about the political events that led up to partition its about the impact on each person who went through it and what it might have felt like for them to leave behind their homes to leave behind their friends to leave behind the life they had known and to move to a new land you know and to have to rebuild afresh it was less migration of people of partition of assets it was this collective migration of sorrow while youve done a lot in just a few short months mallika. Is the driving force behind sars Partition Museum 7 its really shocking because if you think about the fact that within a few years of 911 happening and 911 museum was there and there are now numerous holocaust museums as an up build a full Apartheid Museum so countries around the world have walked to memorialize these are. Events that have shaped them and i think its its very sad that. You know this hasnt happened so far in the subcontinent. And survivors want to tell their stories. Here it is good you look good but the standard here. Are molochs one he remembers the day violence arrived on a doorstep when i deny dementing disturbance. The need the motive but its even. 50 made a funny little play. Mama bear. That i feel but one defeat that i state and i live in the me he gives me to deliver me. What i see in the me down the back door and it might just maybe modern. To be called learned but then again in the wild they need to see plainly needing the know. That nothing meant they would. Even be compared to one. Another look at it. Its stories like these museums curator is hoping to capture before its too late my granddad 93 now and weve seen over the last decade so many of his friends leave us you know and so theres a realize ation that within a few years all these stories will unfortunately lost. But they are tales not just a form. Theyre also collective kindness where muslims sikhs and hindus protected each other. Mallika believes full recounting of what happened in partition would you all move. And dissolve in hatred between pakistan and india that exists today. I think its really important that we highlight the stories. Of humanity and we highlight the stories of you know friend helping friend neighbor helping neighbor but also a stranger helping stranger. And the that those narratives shouldnt get lost because i think a lot of people who did make it to safety made it through the help. Of someone they knew. Hopefully one outcome of this would be that we remember our shared humanity. The shed history. And the disease because 50 percent of the deaths of children and. All. But small. Things to save any childs education. Certainly seems to. Be a. Tough. Time. For cease. Hello again im fully back to bill in doha with the headlines on aljazeera frances president Emanuel Mccall says lebannon must form a new government quickly to get out of this political and economic crisis hes making his 2nd visit to the country since a devastating explosion at beiruts sports.

I was was every evening here at the walk the border soldiers from india and pakistan put on a display of showmanship nationalism and hostility. I. Was 70 years ago the british drew a line on a map dividing their self asian empire into tunisia. It led to the biggest most violent migration in Human History a 1000000 people. For survivors like joginder seen colby forgiveness is the only way for over a 1000000000 over little. Wriggle room for all who will go from here to go through to. Give a group who would regard your would through we go we were all very vulnerable. Very muckle. Argue barville or were. They get a bargain because. Were not going to look. Good in the wall going to we here only. Heard a new gig. But politicians on both sides havent forgiven or forgotten. 70 years on the face the division of britains empire continues to drive the bitter ill still be between india. And nowhere is animosity as fierce as you catch me. Up picture arrest territory turned around. Today its one of the most militarized regions in the book. Where pakistani and indian troops face off day of. Heavy burden with sleep about here in pakistani administered kashmir few foreigners are allowed in. Your home but weve been granted special permission. To keep. This mountainous region looks peaceful but its a highly volatile area where fighting can break out at any time. Over the last 7 decades up 2100000 people from both sides have been killed. Up to deadly violence began from the moment the 2. Nations of india and pakistan were creating. The accession of kashmir is the Unfinished Business of partition. The feeling was the part of pakistan that kashmir would naturally sheed to pakistan. Kashmir was a muslim majority state ruled by a hindu maharajah had troubles in kashmir where india supported the project in many ways it should have gone to pakistan because it had a muslim majority but it is hindu my raja chose for it to come to it it was a choice forced on the maharajah when weeks after partition pakistan sent in fighters already the rebel forces have left a trail of bloated and burning villages on the way the pakistani simply sent in a large number of troops in fact many of them were socalled irregulars armed tribesmen from the northwest into kashmir to seize the territory and overthrow. The. Rampage and eventually that prompted the maharajah to call upon the Indian Government to send in the troops reinforcements continue orthopod in as the indian troops consolidate. Another state and as india are promptly paratroop to soldiers. They beat back some of the invasion but a ceasefire was called leaving pakistan in control of roughly one 3rd of the western side of kashmir. And and leaving the rest to me to have. That cease fire in 1948 has resulted in what is now known as the line of control todays front line up it remains the big hole will continue. The bone that neither dog will that. India and pakistan have fought to brutal wars over kashmir and the battle rages on troops. Stroup. Civilian again sold. To pakistan india is a ruthless Occupying Force in a muslim majority land. For India Pakistan and its military Intelligence Service the i. S. I. Have been carrying out a campaign of terror on its territory for decades in the face. Of determined intelligence effort to. Send militants across the border into kashmir to train up. Many of them have been armed trained financed equipped and occasionally even offset by the Pakistani Military the pakistani i. S. I. Has embarked upon what has been described in pakistani literature as a war of death by a 1000 cuts we learned never to underestimate the enemy for general assad to ronnie the former head of Pakistan Intelligence using any means to defeat the enemy is justified for me there can be quite a particular purpose. To durani served in the military for 4 decades and as the intelligence chief he was responsible for pakistans strategy against india. Every yes. If you do not have enough conventional a suit because of a lot of your enemy. Who do not rely on a conventional response. And among those assets. Fighters allies of pakistan who in 1980 s. Had been waging war in neighboring afghanistan when the soviets pulled out of guns than a lot of the would have been were nothing else to do were diverted by their pakistani handlers to for meant violence and kashmir and the principally other ones responsible for the destruction of kashmir. Armed by pakistan the battle hardened muslim fighters poured into indian administered kashmir. India hit back hard crushing the Armed Movement and anyone thought to be supporting it kashmir is remained pretty neutral until the 1990 s. When excessive violence by Indian Security forces which in many cases raped kashmiri women behaved in the terrible man they were terrible torture chambers set up in kashmir with electric shocks being used on the genitals of Young Kashmiri kids lots and lots of horrors took place and kashmir is today of a very elite very very elated from india not all of them want to be part of pakistan either. I certainly would not suggest that Indian Forces have been. Always shall we say of the most followed diplomatic in the way in which theyve conducted their or their operations historian shushed ataru or is also an indian opposition member of parliament you can imagine the enormous pressure theyre under in a conflict in which. A hostile neighboring state is funneling armed people weapons bombs counterfeit money all sorts of resources thats very very hard to to maintain selfrestraint in the face of all of the in the mean to. Innocent ordinary human beings are suffering at both ends the suffering terrorist violence intimidation and menace on the one hand and the inevitable repression that comes on the other side. 70 years on kashmir is no closer to peace its been a worsening spiral of pakistan encouraging militancy indian state cracking down the crackdown then creating more resentment some of the ones or resentful going often and and getting training and equipment coming back to the militants on the cycle keeps going. In islam of our pakistans capital we come to a rally condemning indias presence in kashmir. Its run by a group india and the us consider a terrorist organization. Firing off the crowd is how fees up to run then mark leader of jemaah. A group the un says is a front for lashkar e tayyiba responsible for deadly attacks in india something the group has always denied. As the rally breaks up we make our way back stay there to try and speak with nike. By the us has put a 2000000. 00 price on his head. Its not surprising then that hes well guarded can you truly say youre not sending fighters weapons into kashmir or beyond into india can you truly say that. Theres a whole. Big secret neighborhood botted. Heavy equipment nor not for just for example done. Many get back im done im on. But Indian Officials say mac used group is far from peaceful. They accuse them of masterminding the deadly attacks on indian soil. In 2008 heavily armed gunman entered the city of mumbai killing 164 people and injuring more than 300. After initial denials pakistani officials confirmed the attackers were all from pakistan and all linked to lashkar e tayyiba. Even then it took almost a decade before pakistan put a piece saif the groups leader and mackies boss under house arrest has your group not sent fighters into the interior. Yes a lot of people. Here war. Do. People strikes will you in your capacity as cup evidence cool to use more me you cut it a lot of people ahead. Of me. Instead mackie blames him do nationalist for carrying out a campaign of violence against muslims. In india over the past 25 years there have been major outbreaks of religious violence that have killed thousands mostly muslim. Cleric and in fact a lot going in from places there might be. Straight. Ram medevac is the general secretary of the ruling party the hindu nationalist b j p hes also a former spokesman for the r. S. S. A right wing group often accused of encouraging violence against muslims nor heard from our government. From the government. And the country committed to maintaining be uncommon and harmony in the country. Rights groups say since the b j p came into power in 2014 attacks on muslims have served. Its a charge rejects. Impact that black do you have how been the most to be here when it comes. But for some the reality is starkly different. Weve come to the region a main water which is predominantly muslim communities like these that are starting to feel the heat from the more violent elements of hindu nationalists. You know news. Dairy farmers you should come on his father and some neighbors were returning home from a Cattle Market with 2 cows they got. Suddenly they were attacked for him out of boston. Noons of all of a sudden hum milissa lake i see that her heart of. Gold. For hindus cows are secret recently theres been a spate of attacks by hindu vigilantes targeting those they suspect of slaughtering cattle. Marty marty. Or margaret got there so many. Jackie yes some of the pond to logan. Or catch. It got better get a car boiling away beetle. Managed to escape with his life he was lucky his father died from his injuries 2 days later devastating the family. That i. Didnt call. You should not only lost his father he says he also lost his old way of life one where muslims and hindus live together in peace is. There when i can go to check in. When the cup im going to be in the muslim monica. Are going to be clear. Better to be going to the march from mother to them nor. Going to them. About it. Despite the governments assurance that confound me is still waiting for justice. Months after your shots father daughter his alleged killers are yet to face trial. Increasingly hardliners in both india and pakistan are still king really just and political division. In mumbai we find these prejudices alive in the Younger Generation. And. I think you mythical to some. Distance it. Across the border in islamabad we find more kids passion for the same sport and harbor the same future. Oh. What if. They are all going to listen. To be. Going to the cinema listening. To. What did your grandmother see when you 1st said that you want to. Get over my dead body but the only way that pakistani activist. Wants to change those negative attitudes. In many ways that thing that to this generation is far more hardline and antagonistic and more partisan than the generation in 1040 because even though a lot of families you know who who migrated who suffered partition went through horrific tragedies there was also codependence was also coexistence for the younger children today theres no court system in pakistan you dont come across an indian let alone in the world. According to a its a situation made worse by governments censoring the story of what happened in 947 the state has emphasized and reinforce certain partition arthurs over other partition so what youre then reading in textbooks or in the media narratives and that also state sanction is a lot of into going ism and hostility and only narratives of bloodshed and i have expenses of my own grandmother who you know for 25 years of my life only spoke of the last or did you have a hindu or a sick friend and all these stories started come out and she said you know you know a sick family helped save my sister partition so no i didnt know you know these stories have escaped generation. The absence of these stories from official history has come at great cost to the young child who is hearing that you know hindus are responsible for genocide and hindus must never be trusted and must never be friends with how do you expect their child to think anything else these are children that are going to school and im memorizing hatred. Oh my god weve all become so tall and now im is now working with young people in both pakistan and india to help build bridges between the 2 countries. She invites us to an online chat between students in karate pakistan and mumbai india. Is i think we have some questions for you what is you know. This is the 1st time some of these teenagers have ever spoken to someone across the border mongolian gang is that even if it was flooded street food so youve all done just what they do you can find whatever you want any of it so what im trying to do now through our work is get them to talk to each other and get them to access these alternative history is that whether through skype or exchanges over those 2 through talking to our own you know and working through this you are to have some challenges. But we havent heard good things about this time. The everybody is going on since for that vote to be honest its the same on this site. Very odd. Things about india there are. These casual chats may not seem like much but they have a big effect meeting people and realizing that they too are people just like us has been. Really important in it shaping my view of what india is theyre just as into our culture and theyre just as into our musicians our movie that we are into their. Now i know how they are just like i was and theres no point in. Here it was made in a spark but to get everyone cooled down we take a lot of time and i think its very important to let them express that hatred you know because i dont think you can move on from partition because partition isnt a static over because it continues to shape us it will continue to. Norman these students are trying their best to reach across the divide. But 70 years of hostility are difficult to overcome. The violent birth of these 2 nations is a legacy seared into their collective memory. And is long true. Reconciliation remains a distant dream. Hell i was still cold south of the river plate at the reason being thats where the winters got to north of that the sun is Strong Enough to keep things much was a montevideo is about 6 degrees below average that the front itself heading sayas is raining running through your guy and argentina which will i think become a bit more obvious in montevideo and across the other side this is cheering wednesday and as more snow coming into the southern part of the andes to patagonia with a game you wont be surprised at the north of all this although theres an increase in showers in peru still its a lousy dry picture throughout brazil well thats a good thing and the fenty shouted in venezuela and colombia but the thing to watch is probably where this massive cloud here now it could be a proper circulation in the making certainly has been a very wet weather to jamaica and its forecast takes it generally speaking across jamaica and heading towards yucatan in the next day or so doesnt seem to form into a proper circulation but we will watch it a little sight has been some useful rain not just dry thunderstorms but i have to our reserves attempted to come down little bit and thats probably welcome but these are dangerous storms now running slowly through arkansas and just to the north. I care about how the u. S.
