History and India always walked hand in hand. And when the question about the biggest screw up in history how can as an INDIAN and the world forget about the murderous orgy created by the British. ( World may hate Hitler but we had more worse demon than him ).
PARTITION OF INDIA.
Well the divide and rule was simple and old master stroke that British played many times over their cruel reign. A country with so many cultural differences it was hardly and genius thought to divide and rule. But what the ultimate nail in the coffin was the partition of India and Pakistan.
True partition was inevitable. The Muslim community fueled by Muslim League and the personal ambitions of one man ( Muhammad Ali Jinnah) created a euphoria among the Muslim. They were made to dream up about disney land.
( HIGH VOLTAGE LINES )
One cannot blame Jinnah and the Muslims as even after 65 years of independence India is still seeing small Jinnahs. Every other day a community starts protesting for their own land and state. Does we are right blaming Jinnah when we cannot remain united in our country.
Okay coming back to the main topic the barbaric of the British.
The midnight between August 14 and 15, 1947 .. the night that created two great nations well it was not a happy start.
A botched process of partition saw the slaughter of more than a million people; some 15 million were displaced. Untold numbers were maimed, mutilated, dismembered and disfigured. Countless lives were scarred.
