It has been more than 60 years of hatred and distrust, hopefully with the coming generations, we will be able to create trust between us, and will be able to give a new era of friendship and brotherhood to aur coming generations.
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one,
I hope someday you’ll join us...”
PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES WERE CRUEL AND INSANE.
"The fact is,both sides killed.Both shot and stabbed and speared and clubbed.Both tortured.Both raped. By the summer of 1947........10 million people - Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs -were in fight.Almost a million of them were dead."
"The division of India into two separate nations -based on religious differences -blew fanaticism to such heat that great carvans of desperate,terror-stricken refugees began to crawl along the inadequate roads,millions of them,Hindus and Sikhs to INDIA and Muslims to PAKISTAN. They had almost no defences against the hazards that beset them-FAMINES,CHOLERA,GANGSTERS and EXHAUSTION. Thousands on thousands perished.
This inhumanity was described as an "EXCHANGE OF POPULATION."
