@@HistoryHub Thank for replying. A topic that interests me greatly is that of the development of suffrage in the UK. In many schools there is an emphasis on women's suffrage but scarcely a mention of suffrage more generally. I'd be really pleased to learn more about this.
What does not concern me is whether partition is inevitable I'm afraid. My concern is whether it needed to be so violent? There's been many commentators that have stated there were plenty of Gurkhas available on standby, although technically Hindu, were reliable soldiers in remaining impartial in the case of religious conflict (as seen in the Jawallianbargh Massacre, amongst other examples). I don't mind the British partitioning of India, I mind the immediate and unnecessary loss of life and suffering caused by it. Forgive me, but it appears as though the bloody partition was done by design, as to baptise these two new nations in hatred for one another, for Britain to make a "clean" escape from the subcontinent. No different to how the Romans divided the Germanic tribes against one another, the Chinese with the Mongol tribes, or the Persians/East Romans with Arabian tribes.
Great channel.
Thank you for being a regular viewer. Are there any topics you would like us to look at this year?

They need a #jsd dose for clarity
Problem with western story telling is that origins will have unpleasant mask, body has sacred lies and end has cut tails.
