it was the concept of one of the leaders of cong. govt. at that named Mohammad Ali Jinnah who advised that muslims cannot live with non muslims and they need separate land only for muslims which is now pakistan actually , the video u r reacting is missing lots of infos
Yeah but he said this becoz He said we can live together but at that time there was lots of chaos and when he asked nehruji that you can be leader but will you commit that muslims gonna be safe after that. Nehru said he cant promise things can change thats why for muslim safety he said they want separate nation. Becoz there was a debate that whose going to be leader who will not be partial towards particular religion. I think its nobody's fault and kind of everybody's fault.
thats not true , jinnah was thinking about partition since 1942 because he knew that after independence there will be no muslim ruler that used to before british invasion , no muslim kings no muslim laws ,no non muslim taxes , he was very clever man indeed, it has recorded in many british texts as well , so my dear friend dont confuse others because
@@shiv5771 moreover he has his imgined his plan for muslim country many years ago , he tried to influence british officers of that time and he was fully against gandhijis ideology of harmony , he thought after independence india would into monarchy and there were several muslim rulers at that time so he thought it would help him dominate the country in name of religion but that idea was opposed by the british as well so he advised britishers to give them their land for muslims
*(As you asked why Partion Happened)* When Indipendent movement started in India And was asked the Britishers to leave India , at that time Indian National Congress decided to create a constitution for India which is Democratic, at that time there was Muslim League they said they wanted a seperate constitution of their own and their own country because they didn't want to remain minority in India was Hindu was in majority here , so after India made its own constitution in the parliament over 2 years of discussion On 1947 Pakistan was divided into separate Nation
This is not true my friend, I am a history major and it all started with the emergence of hindutva. People were made insecure of both the religion and were made to believe that partition is the best choice. You can also go into details, there are a lot of articles online
Nah bro britishers made conflict in between communities so that they cannot get more movements as both communities were more strong when they were supporting each other. So started making riots on the basis of religion so that Indians get busy in these all and forgot about independence but that one thing remain in some people's mind and they did it later.
Guys my understanding is that British had this policy back in those days to split nations when they leave. This wud leave the newly independent countries fighting amongst thenselves and not become a threat to the Brits. Examples? Israel and Palestine North korea and South Korea India and Pakistan which evebtualy gave birth to Bangladesh also. Thats my understanding.
26:24 it's not his deal. I know many have negative image of modi due to farm laws. But this mess was created by Congress and Muslim league. The hate was started there. Other successive PM's just fueled it because nationalism is big thing in Asia
In India Muslim People weren't forced to go. They're given choice to move to Pakistan Or stay in India. Quite opposite of what happened with hindu and Sikh communities in Pakistan.
I suggest you watch other videos of indian independence... There was a muslim league which demanded a separate nation based on religion.. Two nation theory that hindus and Muslims cant live together
@Foe Tang opening the corridor for Sikhs to visit our gurudware I didn’t say Pakistan is good but india isn’t allowing Sikhs to do so for a almost year
Divide and rule policy of British. 😔. Even they divided India in many parts.More than 500+ parts. But Sardar patel (Iron man of India, statue of unity man) united India🇮🇳 and created one Nation. 💕
My grandfather comes from Lahore(now in Pakistan) to Delhi in 1947 , and so many of our relatives died in that partition, I have heard the stories from him, it's very painful
The reason why, is because Britain followed a policy called "Divide and Rule" to manage populations in undivided India. The name is self explanatory, they basically divided people on any basis whether religious, linguistic, skin colour, etc to fulfil their own objectives. Contemporarily, they divided India and Pakistan in 1947 so that both countries continue to not progress.
@Raj Sahu there's about a thousand reasons. I just gave the most basic explanation for laymen on the subject. Bdw the name you're looking for is Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
What everyone forgets is that on that fateful day, TWO BORDERS WERE DRAWN. And both borders created the same heartache, bloodshed, misery and agony for its people on either side. But the people and both the national and international media always forget that along with Punjab, West Bengal too was devastated but they rarely talk about it
The best analogy between India and Pakistan is that of a forced divorce but a messy one......... Yes the country used to be United in every way but since then lots have been changes multiple wars disputes and difference.... I personally would love that India and Pakistan can become one again but cannot also forget the bitter history between us ...it's complicated to say the least.... But at least Indians and Pakistani somewhat unite when in a third country....so there's that...
The documentary won't tell why Modi said those words. Pakistan would sent terrorists in Kashmir to kill Indian Army Soldiers and Modi is the first to retaliate by taking action against those terrorist. And even crazier part is that we have shown full evidence of killing terrorists and destroying their camps but Pakistan rather than thanking us for helping in fight over terrorism(because Pakistan have like bomb blasts once a week) would kept denying that any such thing has happened. It's just so weird.
There is a document for Kashmir. this document is signed but not have any stamp. Don't know British forgot to put stamp or did this on purpose so that India And Pakistan remain fighting. Kashmir belong to India but now because there is no stamp on that document Pakistan claims that Kashmir belong to them.
@Sound Hashira yes. Indian Army entered and never went back. Killed,tortured and blinded our generations ;and to add, about 1/2 of India's active military still stays here (not including CRPF and other reserve forces).
True that Sir. But in the Agenda drawn out in U.N, Kashmir was clearly seceded to Bharat by Maharaja Hari Singh of the Dogras. Ms. Christine Fair also held a conference where she clearly explains this in UN World Defence Forums.
The same traumatic experience was inflicted in Bengal in the east. My own family had to flee their land in Bangladesh and settle in Indian Bengal because they were Hindus. They lost everything.
That’s why both countries were separated.... british also offered sikhs there countries but we turned down there offers and were happy to be a part of india which we sometimes regret due to things 1984 delhi sikh roits and farmers protest lately.
My grandfather's best friend was about 7-8 years old during the partition. He came from the Pakistan half of Punjab. He used to tell me stories about it when I was younger, and now that I think about it, they were quite scary. Gist of the atrocities he faced: (1) Watched his grandfather die. (2) His father saved 2 young Sikh boys by shaving their hair and getting rid of their turbans. (3) He got lost during this entire ordeal. Kept walking on the tracks and jumping from train to train and finally arrived in Delhi after which he luckily was able to locate a relative he knew there, since he had visited before. As luck would have it, he found his family there too. This is only the stuff I remember, the horrors go on, and on. I'd say he was one of the luckier few.
Guys this video doesn't justified the real truth. It's a complex matter and here the creator is showing only his personal mindset which is far different from the majority of our peoples
1. The reason why the border was created: Muslims in India felt that they were treated badly as compared to others. They wanted their representation in the Congress and started their own political party called "All India Muslim league". Their initial focus was to protect the culture and heritage of Muslims and give them their rights, education etc. But at some point they thought they needed a separate country as this won't be possible in India. Several nation wide movements later, british government and congress representatives allowed the two nation theory. 2. Why killings happened: Pakistan was established as an Islamic nation while India was declared secular. People wanted to be close to their religious. Millions migrated overnight from one province to another. How would they settle in new area if they left empty handed? So what they did was, they kind of just declared "Hey, this region is of this religion. Get out or convert " which led to lot of violence.
Im a Pakistani from Karachi, my grandparents migrated from northern India. My grandmother told me that her father secured a job in the new pakistani government as a customs officer. In 1947, he genuinely believed that he could work in Lahore (now in Pakistan) and his family would live in delhi (in India) and was going to visit them once a month. Little did he know.. When violence broke out in delhi they all had to flee. It was so quick that the food was still on the stove and the new house they got in Lahore originally belonged to a Hindu professor at Punjab university who did the same and ran. It was basically a real life purge. Murder, rapes, theft and violence, everything went unpunished.
81% of Hindus and sikhs cross the border from Pakistan to India and Only Punjab and some Gujarat ,Rajasthan Muslims cross the border from india to pak this is only 14% of Muslims entire indian Muslims at that time very good missionary work man
its bcz if india was tht big with huge resources n manpower they understood india's potential so divided india based on religion which was the same method adopted to rule ind too.
no , muslims wanted a separate country , they started this process way before 1947 , they were also election held which determined who wants to live in India or not
Nice Video as always 👍 "India Pakistan Partition Explained" by TRT World would be the perfect video to watch after this one. It explains why the British had to divided the land into two countries. You should definitely check that one out x
@Foe Tang so if its "quite-pro" pakistan it will not tell why the brits had to divide? c'mon bro we all need to accept the fact that if this region was together, brits or western powers wouldn't be world powers anymore a secular sub-continent wouldn't be a wing man to anybody.
In 1982 Hollywood movie Gandhi, the partition is shown. The British actually didn't want to divide India.But they became afraid of the amount of communal riots that are going to happen if they didn't do it. The muslim league leaders said to british that if they didn't give Pakistan there will be a civil war.
20:35 Alissa ji people of Pakistan and India are SAME IN EVERYTHING. PAKISTAN has Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Hindko, Afgani and a few more languages. India has more languages INCLUDING ALL THOSE WHAT PAKISTAN HAS. SEE THE TENSION IS STILL THERE between India and Pakistan. But it is more between the governments. Over there in Pakistan unofficially the army controls. But when people from India and Pakistan talk they love each other. Now because of Internet people have friends over the borders.But it is the governments who make it worse IN PAKISTAN IN MANY schools they are taught to think bad about Hindus and Sikhs AND SIMILARLY in few States of India there in many schools in the books they are taught to hate Muslim. How are they taught to hate- It is by writing the BIASED HISTORY IN BOOKS. SO I THANK YOU FROM BOTTOM OF MY HEART for doing so good by reacting to spread the truth.
@@razorraver6330 how much have you seen India. I have traveled Punja, Himachal, Rajasthan, Delhi, UP, Haryana, Bihar, Bengal... I have talked to many many Pakistanis and people who were born in Pakistan and moved to India, them too I have talked. I have read the political connections India and Pakistan had over the years and I have read historians books on people's lives durin 1940s.... I continue to read articles, and historical events from that time... I know
One of Gandhi's earlier lieutenant, who either felt he was sidelined or was a little more power hungry played the religious card and got his muslim brothers to demand for a separate country for muslims with an argument that they would be persecuted by the majority Hindus if they stayed back in India. The British were more than glad to accept fully understanding the repercussions that would follow later.
One of the biggest reason behind partition was that British government was promised to get a military base in Pakistan, undivided India would never give such excess.
Pakistan took the initiative to connect Sikhs to Kartarpur Sahib Sikh holy site mentioned in the video with a corridor that connects to it but indian government just keeps trying to stop it. India's central government also stops us from trading with Pakistan. visa is like travel permission for which Is approved by the country.
It was the Indian leaders who wanted partition because the PM of Pakistan wanted a separate nation for muslims. It was the leader then and it is the leaders now and all of then not any particular.
The partition was already done at the end of World War 2 by Winston Churchill and Radclyff was assigned the task to draw the line which was already drawn by Churchill 2 years ago.
Well you guys were saying why Britishers drew a line and divided india into 2, the reason actually was, that many of the pre 1947 indian muslims wanted a separate country for them (Pakistan) and that was the reason for the devision.
Passport is a document issued by one's own country authorizing one to travel abroad. Visa is a document issued by a host country autthorising a foreign national to their country.
Modi was saying that because of the terrorist attack in kashmir that time. He is pretty good leader for development but for handling situations he sometimes lack thats why india is developing fast but still many problems. 🙂
What I heard about partition is that at that moment after world war you heard in the video about the situation of British rule and Indians were protesting for independence and they got it after so long. British officials were so scared of Indians ( India+pakistan) that time they thought instead of Indians coming behind us to take revenge let them make fight with each other. In that case they’ll be fighting and we can escape easily. Other reason was that they knew that Indians (india+Pakistan) will be so strong and maybe can come to rule us in revenge. That’s why they did this partition thing. Reduction of power we can say they played smart.
What they didn't talked about is EAST PAKISTAN AND WEST PAKISTAN WAS FORMED after partition in 1947. East Pakistan got Independence in 1965 from Pakistan and become Bangladesh. Inda had a war with Pakistan in 1965 and a rebellion was also going on then in Bangladesh against Pakistan AND INDIA HELPED BANGLADESH TO GET FREEDOM.
At the time of partition Pakistan had 20% Hindu and sikh population and India had 10% Muslim. Today after years of persecution forced conversions Pakistan has less than 2% Hindu ,sikhs . Whereas muslims grew up to 20% in India meanwhile.
bro britishers made conflict in between communities so that they cannot get more movements as both communities were more strong when they were supporting each other. So started making riots on the basis of religion so that Indians get busy in these all and forgot about independence but that one thing remain in some people's mind and they did it later
Muslims demanded a seperate state because they feared that India will never be a good secular state. Their fear has been proven right and now Pakistani Muslims are completely happy with their decision of a seperate state when they compare themselves with muslims living in India. You should also react to the other side of the story.
😂😂😂 Why bro??? Who said India is not secular for Muslims? There are more masjids in india than pakistan. Just don't believe what you hear. The law for Muslims and hindus are same here. Also Muslims in india used to get subsidy to visit makka and madina.
The Muslims were scared that they would become a minority in India. Because they did not like the idea of following a Hindu Leader. So, they decided and the leader of the Muslim league proposed a partition of only Muslim majority country and that is Pakistan! Although India strongly condemned this and was against the idea, it had to agree because there was soo many people fighting and killing and raping each other on both sides. Those were some of the most Brutal and violent times. So, the British forced themselves and were the mediators for the partition.
11:27 see Alissa ji what was happening then was that the Britishers used Divide-and-Rule trick to rule India. So in 19th and early 20th century Britishers put so much fuel in the fire of Hate based on religion and caste WHICH INCREASED THE TENSIONS A LOT BETWEEN HINDUS AND MUSLIMS AND SIKHS. From 1900 to 1948 many clashes happened between Hindus and Muslims. A political party Muslim League was also formed earlier then. Indian National Congress and Muslim League were two major parties then. And when the call for 'Poorn Swaraj' was given by Freedom Fighters leaders in 1930s the Muslim League and Indian National Congress started working on forming policies to help Muslims regards Hindus respectively. And in 1945 a big clash happened. And president of Muslim League Mohammad Ali Jinnah and President of India National Congress Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to become First Prime Minister of independent India. So the Talk for a seperate Nation for Muslims originated. BUT BUT IT WAS CLEARLY STATED THAT PAKISTAN WILL BE FORMED AND AFTER A FEW YEAR (5 or 7) PAKISTAN WILL JOIN BACK INDIA. (sadly that never happened). So Mohammad Ali Jinnah became First Prime Minister of Pakistan and Jawaharlal Nehru became first Prime minister of India. The TOPIC TO FORM TWO SEPERATE NATIONAL STARTED in, if I am not wrong it was in, 1935. So Britishers were to do that, do make two seperate nation. FACT- MAJORITY OF PEOPLE NEVER WANTED TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE NATIONS. And the hate which Britishers increased between Hindus and Muslims is till day and after Independence many riots have happened. The hate existed since Mughals invaded India but it decreased and again INCREASED BY BRITISHERS.
Although british had a huge hand in the partition, they weren't the only ones responsible. Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Mohammad jinnah were also responsible for the partition as jinnah demanded a separate nation for muslims and Gandhi and Nehru agreed fearing a civil War between hindu and muslims, the partition happened

Lakhs of people died in Punjab(Lahore) & west bengal (bangladesh now) in communal violence in 1947. Because hindu & Sikhs were attacked in many part of Pakistan because they are not muslim.. and 20% hindu/sikh population of Pakistan not converted forcefully to islam.. Now only 1% hindu & sikh population in Pakistan.. But 25-30% muslim population in india 🇮🇳
In the Indian-subcontinent (that consists of countries such as Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan), Hindus are in majority, so, the Muslim community and rightly so, lead by its leader Md. Ali Jinnah, felt they would be treated as second-class citizens within their own country. Muslims demanded a separate country named Pakistan from the British, which was later agreed and done in 1947, during the final days of the rule. I am from India, and I feel Jinnah was absolutely right. Muslims in India are still treated as second-class citizens. India is constitutionally a secular state, but we are yet to elect a Muslim Prime Minister in our country. I know we are a parliamentary system, but still. We have elected several Muslim Presidents in the past, but that is a ceremonial post. Presidency in India is like monarchy, they hold certain powers, but it is the government, lead by the PM, who holds real power. Presidents in India are just puppets, chosen by various political parties to woo certain sections of the society. For example, THEY (MPs, regional legislators) elect a Muslim president, when they are targeting Muslim voters, Dalit president, when they want to appease to some of the most oppressed people of our country, the Adivasis and the scheduled castes. MY POINT IS: Establishments on both sides want this religious differences to remain, and this tension to grow, because that is what diverts the mind of our people from demanding real development and rights. That is why governments on both sides keep instilling fear in the minds of people and spew venom against each other to keep us in an illusion. Reality, but harsh! My own people will troll me for this, I know. BTW, I don't even care!!!! After all, Delhi se hu bhen***d😂😂😂 WE ARE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY FOR A REASON.
1. Urdu(pakistan) and hindi(india) have different script but easily understandable vocally. 2. Brits divided india cause there was a politician by the name Jinnah, who wanted a land for muslims( i think he wanted power so he wanted a place after brits left so he could rule it) and he demanded it on behalf of all muslims and Indian politicians hated him so they agreed to his demand as to get rid of him, later on jinnah became Governor General (sorta president) of pakistan and nehru (his nemesis now) became PM of india. 3. Muslims wanted more land so they claim kashmir, india refused, so they had wars and thus the hatred of each side since their countrymen were killed.
Muslim wanted seriously? Kashmir was Muslim Majority state and dued to merge with pakistan. Indian leaders invaded the merger by bribing the hindu ruler of Muslim majority kashmir
@@awnmuhammad4508 their ruler was hindu and he gave the land to india and we have documentation to prove otherwise. No offense but stop getting annoyed by this
The reason they split the country up was actually because of the Muslims. The Muslim leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah didn’t want the Muslims to be a minority in India (in which the Hindus are the majority). So he proposed the creation of a separate nation for Muslims called Pakistan.
If you want to understand the whole thing i.e., How did the British divided India Pakistan you have to watch a movie callled 'Partition 1947' it is easily available on Netflix.... Please watch it you will know everything.
Pakistan was a state created in 1947 on the basis of religion, it was actually one political party in india called the Muslim league which was very pro British, they demanded an exclusive Muslim state and it was also aligned with the British policy of divide and rule,so they gave them that, the present location of Pakistan was not the place where this political party was based, and people of that place did not demand a new state,the people of Muslim league were from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, they moved to Pakistan after independence and basically forced the people of that part to adopt a new way of life, where Urdu was the official language,hence Pakistan was created, but today there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan. The border is heavily guarded as there was a lot of smuggling of drugs and arms into India in the 80s, which created a drug epidemic in Punjab,even to this day, Indian forces seized 205 kgs of heroine 2 days ago, its a way for Pakistan to create insurgence in Kashmir, the drugs and money that get smuggled into India is moved to Kashmir as Kashmir is next to Punjab, and smuggling drugs across the Kashmir border is not viable so they do it through Punjab. And the British left India not because of Gandhi, but because they feared a mutiny in the army, the navy had already rebelled once and they feared they would all be killed if the army did the same thing.
Passport is issued by the Country that you live in and is a proof that you belong to that specific country while traveling abroad...Visa is issued by the country you are traveling to ( Approval from the host nation to visit )...If you have a Canadian passport and travelling to India, India will issue the visa based on your requirement ( Visit , Study or Work )
There were 2 parties - Indian National Congress and Muslim league. ML put forward an argument that Hindus and Muslims can't live together so they need a different country specially for muslims. That's how Idea of Pakistan was formed.
My great grandmother came from Pakistan at the time of partion. She used to tell us the stories how she came with 3 kids and a husband. How they protected themselves and the whole thing matched to your recent video you reacted to. The gurdas Maan song.
One of the reasons why they drew the line was on the demand of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the first prime minister of pakistan. He wanted Pakistan to be formed and Muslims be put in a secure nation.
My grandfather (dad's side) died in Punjab whilst trying to escape(Partition of India 1947), and believe me it was a nightmare in reality. It was really dumb planning and the biggest human migration in history. 6.6 million people died. And in the Bengal Famine (1938-1943), some of my granduncles died due to starvation. Nearly 20 million people died and a lot were demoralized. And it was all caused because some 3 million british soldiers needed food. Again, dumb planning.
The main reason partition happened is due to the fact that Muhammad Ali Jinnah (one of the founders of Pakistan) knew that once the British left India, cooperation between Muslims and Hindus would be nearly impossible due to difference in religion and many historical reasons. Even when the British controlled India, frequent violence between Muslims and Hindus would occur so imagine how bad it would've gotten once the British left. The only possible solution to this was for Muslims to have their own country where they were in the majority. Majority of the Muslims living in India accepted this idea (though some Muslims were also against this). However what NO ONE expected was how the British were gonna handle this. Mr Jinnah was forced to accept these borders of Pakistan by the British otherwise there would've been no Pakistan. I keep seeing many comments below (most notably many Indians) trying to spread misinformation regarding this (the once who hate Pakistan) so be careful reading the comment section guys.
It's believed that -British lawyer who drew the border for india pakistan didn't know about India anything before he never had any idea,just put a map on the table took his scales and done that's it the map is ready a tragedic story...! 😀
I think it's more likely strategic planning , also they made boarder not for india and pakistan but only for islamic land ( east pakistan and west ) , india ( hindu, secular 🙄) was freed over kings of India ( but due to sardar Vallabhbhai Patel we see union state / territory
Now there are 200 million muslim people live in pakistan And the muslim population in india is 204 million people In pakistan muslim are in majority But in india Hindu are in majority

"Divide and Rule" on of the policy British used in India. That answers your why Hindus and Muslims were divided!
Actually the Muslim league asked for a separate country. Why would the British divide us and the Muslims while they were leaving? Makes no sense.
it was the concept of one of the leaders of cong. govt. at that named Mohammad Ali Jinnah who advised that muslims cannot live with non muslims and they need separate land only for muslims which is now pakistan actually , the video u r reacting is missing lots of infos
Thank you for this missing information
Yeah but he said this becoz
He said we can live together but at that time there was lots of chaos and when he asked nehruji that you can be leader but will you commit that muslims gonna be safe after that. Nehru said he cant promise things can change thats why for muslim safety he said they want separate nation.
Becoz there was a debate that whose going to be leader who will not be partial towards particular religion. I think its nobody's fault and kind of everybody's fault.
thats not true , jinnah was thinking about partition since 1942 because he knew that after independence there will be no muslim ruler that used to before british invasion , no muslim kings no muslim laws ,no non muslim taxes , he was very clever man indeed, it has recorded in many british texts as well , so my dear friend dont confuse others because

Nope, why did India have more muslims than pakistan then? They were forced. Some of them refused to leave on both sides.

Divide and rule policy of British. 😔. Even they divided India in many parts.More than 500+ parts. But Sardar patel (Iron man of India, statue of unity man) united India🇮🇳 and created one Nation. 💕
I know this kinda random but my great grandfather was Lord Mountbatten's driver. 😁

That's the problem 😂😂
@@Garuddd yeah man ... Always
My grandfather comes from Lahore(now in Pakistan) to Delhi in 1947 , and so many of our relatives died in that partition, I have heard the stories from him, it's very painful
In Pakistan they speak Urdu. Urdu is a mixture of Hindi and Persian. Most North Indians can understand the language Pakistanis speak.
Pakistan mein 7 % log hein jo sirf urdu boltay 52% ko first language punjabi second language urdu boltay
The reason why, is because Britain followed a policy called "Divide and Rule" to manage populations in undivided India. The name is self explanatory, they basically divided people on any basis whether religious, linguistic, skin colour, etc to fulfil their own objectives.
Contemporarily, they divided India and Pakistan in 1947 so that both countries continue to not progress.
@Raj Sahu there's about a thousand reasons. I just gave the most basic explanation for laymen on the subject.
Bdw the name you're looking for is Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
What everyone forgets is that on that fateful day, TWO BORDERS WERE DRAWN. And both borders created the same heartache, bloodshed, misery and agony for its people on either side. But the people and both the national and international media always forget that along with Punjab, West Bengal too was devastated but they rarely talk about it
My grandmother's 5 year old brother and her father died while migrating from Dehradun in India to Lahore in Pakistan
The best analogy between India and Pakistan is that of a forced divorce but a messy one.........
Yes the country used to be United in every way but since then lots have been changes multiple wars disputes and difference....
I personally would love that India and Pakistan can become one again but cannot also forget the bitter history between us ...it's complicated to say the least....
But at least Indians and Pakistani somewhat unite when in a third country....so there's that...
The documentary won't tell why Modi said those words. Pakistan would sent terrorists in Kashmir to kill Indian Army Soldiers and Modi is the first to retaliate by taking action against those terrorist. And even crazier part is that we have shown full evidence of killing terrorists and destroying their camps but Pakistan rather than thanking us for helping in fight over terrorism(because Pakistan have like bomb blasts once a week) would kept denying that any such thing has happened. It's just so weird.
There is a document for Kashmir. this document is signed but not have any stamp. Don't know British forgot to put stamp or did this on purpose so that India And Pakistan remain fighting. Kashmir belong to India but now because there is no stamp on that document Pakistan claims that Kashmir belong to them.

True that Sir. But in the Agenda drawn out in U.N, Kashmir was clearly seceded to Bharat by Maharaja Hari Singh of the Dogras. Ms. Christine Fair also held a conference where she clearly explains this in UN World Defence Forums.

Muhammed ali jinnah demanded pakistan-muslim majority.... and nehru was also happy so he has no competition ruling India.
That’s why both countries were separated.... british also offered sikhs there countries but we turned down there offers and were happy to be a part of india which we sometimes regret due to things 1984 delhi sikh roits and farmers protest lately.
After partition some malayalis are still in Pakistan
My grandfather's best friend was about 7-8 years old during the partition. He came from the Pakistan half of Punjab. He used to tell me stories about it when I was younger, and now that I think about it, they were quite scary.
Gist of the atrocities he faced:
(1) Watched his grandfather die.
(2) His father saved 2 young Sikh boys by shaving their hair and getting rid of their turbans.
(3) He got lost during this entire ordeal. Kept walking on the tracks and jumping from train to train and finally arrived in Delhi after which he luckily was able to locate a relative he knew there, since he had visited before. As luck would have it, he found his family there too.
This is only the stuff I remember, the horrors go on, and on. I'd say he was one of the luckier few.
Guys this video doesn't justified the real truth. It's a complex matter and here the creator is showing only his personal mindset which is far different from the majority of our peoples
1. The reason why the border was created:
Muslims in India felt that they were treated badly as compared to others. They wanted their representation in the Congress and started their own political party called "All India Muslim league". Their initial focus was to protect the culture and heritage of Muslims and give them their rights, education etc. But at some point they thought they needed a separate country as this won't be possible in India. Several nation wide movements later, british government and congress representatives allowed the two nation theory.
2. Why killings happened:
Pakistan was established as an Islamic nation while India was declared secular. People wanted to be close to their religious. Millions migrated overnight from one province to another. How would they settle in new area if they left empty handed? So what they did was, they kind of just declared "Hey, this region is of this religion. Get out or convert " which led to lot of violence.

@@irhdaily I’m always watching the vids :)
Im a Pakistani from Karachi, my grandparents migrated from northern India. My grandmother told me that her father secured a job in the new pakistani government as a customs officer. In 1947, he genuinely believed that he could work in Lahore (now in Pakistan) and his family would live in delhi (in India) and was going to visit them once a month. Little did he know.. When violence broke out in delhi they all had to flee. It was so quick that the food was still on the stove and the new house they got in Lahore originally belonged to a Hindu professor at Punjab university who did the same and ran. It was basically a real life purge. Murder, rapes, theft and violence, everything went unpunished.
81% of Hindus and sikhs cross the border from Pakistan to India and Only Punjab and some Gujarat ,Rajasthan Muslims cross the border from india to pak this is only 14% of Muslims entire indian Muslims at that time very good missionary work man
its bcz if india was tht big with huge resources n manpower they understood india's potential so divided india based on religion which was the same method adopted to rule ind too.
no , muslims wanted a separate country , they started this process way before 1947 , they were also election held which determined who wants to live in India or not
My grandfather came during partition. He says they left all properties there carrying only gold .
Don't just assume everything without knowing..it's much more complicated
Nice Video as always 👍

@Foe Tang so if its "quite-pro" pakistan it will not tell why the brits had to divide? c'mon bro we all need to accept the fact that if this region was together, brits or western powers wouldn't be world powers anymore a secular sub-continent wouldn't be a wing man to anybody.
India and Pakistan are like sibling fight.... we fight only among politicians... they want both sides to keep fighting.
My grandparents moved from Bangladesh (then known as East Pakistan). The two most tortured groups in India are the Punjabis and Bengalis.
In 1982 Hollywood movie Gandhi, the partition is shown. The British actually didn't want to divide India.But they became afraid of the amount of communal riots that are going to happen if they didn't do it. The muslim league leaders said to british that if they didn't give Pakistan there will be a civil war.
20:35 Alissa ji people of Pakistan and India are SAME IN EVERYTHING.
PAKISTAN has Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Hindko, Afgani and a few more languages. India has more languages INCLUDING ALL THOSE WHAT PAKISTAN HAS.
SEE THE TENSION IS STILL THERE between India and Pakistan. But it is more between the governments. Over there in Pakistan unofficially the army controls.
But when people from India and Pakistan talk they love each other. Now because of Internet people have friends over the borders.But it is the governments who make it worse IN PAKISTAN IN MANY schools they are taught to think bad about Hindus and Sikhs AND SIMILARLY in few States of India there in many schools in the books they are taught to hate Muslim. How are they taught to hate- It is by writing the BIASED HISTORY IN BOOKS.

One of Gandhi's earlier lieutenant, who either felt he was sidelined or was a little more power hungry played the religious card and got his muslim brothers to demand for a separate country for muslims with an argument that they would be persecuted by the majority Hindus if they stayed back in India. The British were more than glad to accept fully understanding the repercussions that would follow later.
Passport - Your Identification
Visa - Permission
One of the biggest reason behind partition was that British government was promised to get a military base in Pakistan, undivided India would never give such excess.
Very interesting Dipen

Great explanation!
You are right abot fear of getting killed. But now in this century we both country look each other like a brother and sister.
The partition was already done at the end of World War 2 by Winston Churchill and Radclyff was assigned the task to draw the line which was already drawn by Churchill 2 years ago.
Well you guys were saying why Britishers drew a line and divided india into 2, the reason actually was, that many of the pre 1947 indian muslims wanted a separate country for them (Pakistan) and that was the reason for the devision.
Passport is a document issued by one's own country authorizing one to travel abroad. Visa is a document issued by a host country autthorising a foreign national to their country.
Modi was saying that because of the terrorist attack in kashmir that time. He is pretty good leader for development but for handling situations he sometimes lack thats why india is developing fast but still many problems. 🙂
What I heard about partition is that at that moment after world war you heard in the video about the situation of British rule and Indians were protesting for independence and they got it after so long. British officials were so scared of Indians ( India+pakistan) that time they thought instead of Indians coming behind us to take revenge let them make fight with each other. In that case they’ll be fighting and we can escape easily. Other reason was that they knew that Indians (india+Pakistan) will be so strong and maybe can come to rule us in revenge. That’s why they did this partition thing. Reduction of power we can say they played smart.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah is the man responsible for the creation of Pakistan. He is considered as a breaker of India
What they didn't talked about is EAST PAKISTAN AND WEST PAKISTAN WAS FORMED after partition in 1947. East Pakistan got Independence in 1965 from Pakistan and become Bangladesh. Inda had a war with Pakistan in 1965 and a rebellion was also going on then in Bangladesh against Pakistan AND INDIA HELPED BANGLADESH TO GET FREEDOM.
At the time of partition Pakistan had 20% Hindu and sikh population and India had 10% Muslim. Today after years of persecution forced conversions Pakistan has less than 2% Hindu ,sikhs . Whereas muslims grew up to 20% in India meanwhile.
bro britishers made conflict in between communities so that they cannot get more movements as both communities were more strong when they were supporting each other. So started making riots on the basis of religion so that Indians get busy in these all and forgot about independence but that one thing remain in some people's mind and they did it later
Pakistan major languages are Urdu and punjabi....which are also part of Indian Major 22 languages
They partitioned it because the British love Divide and Rule. So left us unhappy and fighting basically for un-even partition.
Muslims demanded a seperate state because they feared that India will never be a good secular state. Their fear has been proven right and now Pakistani Muslims are completely happy with their decision of a seperate state when they compare themselves with muslims living in India. You should also react to the other side of the story.
😂😂😂 Why bro???
Who said India is not secular for Muslims?
There are more masjids in india than pakistan.
Just don't believe what you hear.
The law for Muslims and hindus are same here.
Also Muslims in india used to get subsidy to visit makka and madina.
Loool. India is home to more than 500k mosques... so don't preach us
The Muslims were scared that they would become a minority in India. Because they did not like the idea of following a Hindu Leader.
So, they decided and the leader of the Muslim league proposed a partition of only Muslim majority country and that is Pakistan!
Although India strongly condemned this and was against the idea, it had to agree because there was soo many people fighting and killing and raping each other on both sides. Those were some of the most Brutal and violent times. So, the British forced themselves and were the mediators for the partition.
11:27 see Alissa ji what was happening then was that the Britishers used Divide-and-Rule trick to rule India. So in 19th and early 20th century Britishers put so much fuel in the fire of Hate based on religion and caste WHICH INCREASED THE TENSIONS A LOT BETWEEN HINDUS AND MUSLIMS AND SIKHS. From 1900 to 1948 many clashes happened between Hindus and Muslims. A political party Muslim League was also formed earlier then. Indian National Congress and Muslim League were two major parties then. And when the call for 'Poorn Swaraj' was given by Freedom Fighters leaders in 1930s the Muslim League and Indian National Congress started working on forming policies to help Muslims regards Hindus respectively. And in 1945 a big clash happened. And president of Muslim League Mohammad Ali Jinnah and President of India National Congress Jawaharlal Nehru wanted to become First Prime Minister of independent India. So the Talk for a seperate Nation for Muslims originated. BUT BUT IT WAS CLEARLY STATED THAT PAKISTAN WILL BE FORMED AND AFTER A FEW YEAR (5 or 7) PAKISTAN WILL JOIN BACK INDIA. (sadly that never happened). So Mohammad Ali Jinnah became First Prime Minister of Pakistan and Jawaharlal Nehru became first Prime minister of India. The TOPIC TO FORM TWO SEPERATE NATIONAL STARTED in, if I am not wrong it was in, 1935. So Britishers were to do that, do make two seperate nation. FACT- MAJORITY OF PEOPLE NEVER WANTED TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE NATIONS. And the hate which Britishers increased between Hindus and Muslims is till day and after Independence many riots have happened. The hate existed since Mughals invaded India but it decreased and again INCREASED BY BRITISHERS.
Kashmir Region Was Never In Dispute..
Pakistan Made It a Region Of Dispute By Wars And Violence....
😔
Although british had a huge hand in the partition, they weren't the only ones responsible. Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Mohammad jinnah were also responsible for the partition as jinnah demanded a separate nation for muslims and Gandhi and Nehru agreed fearing a civil War between hindu and muslims, the partition happened

Passport is something u hold its ur identity and which country r u from

If indians wanna go to US or UK have to get Visa ( permission ) from embassy in india ones we get permission we can go to that country
But we get direct permission to visit their country like directly go to that country and on reaching there u get ur visa
US Germany Singapore ppl get Visa on arrival in many many countries
Now Pakistan has opened a corridor where Sikhs can visit their holy site without Visa, it's called kartarpur corridor.
Lakhs of people died in Punjab(Lahore) & west bengal (bangladesh now) in communal violence in 1947.
Because hindu & Sikhs were attacked in many part of Pakistan because they are not muslim.. and 20% hindu/sikh population of Pakistan not converted forcefully to islam..
Now only 1% hindu & sikh population in Pakistan..
But 25-30% muslim population in india 🇮🇳
In the Indian-subcontinent (that consists of countries such as Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan), Hindus are in majority, so, the Muslim community and rightly so, lead by its leader Md. Ali Jinnah, felt they would be treated as second-class citizens within their own country. Muslims demanded a separate country named Pakistan from the British, which was later agreed and done in 1947, during the final days of the rule.
I am from India, and I feel Jinnah was absolutely right. Muslims in India are still treated as second-class citizens. India is constitutionally a secular state, but we are yet to elect a Muslim Prime Minister in our country. I know we are a parliamentary system, but still. We have elected several Muslim Presidents in the past, but that is a ceremonial post. Presidency in India is like monarchy, they hold certain powers, but it is the government, lead by the PM, who holds real power. Presidents in India are just puppets, chosen by various political parties to woo certain sections of the society. For example, THEY (MPs, regional legislators) elect a Muslim president, when they are targeting Muslim voters, Dalit president, when they want to appease to some of the most oppressed people of our country, the Adivasis and the scheduled castes.
MY POINT IS:
Establishments on both sides want this religious differences to remain, and this tension to grow, because that is what diverts the mind of our people from demanding real development and rights. That is why governments on both sides keep instilling fear in the minds of people and spew venom against each other to keep us in an illusion.
Reality, but harsh! My own people will troll me for this, I know. BTW, I don't even care!!!! After all, Delhi se hu bhen***d😂😂😂
WE ARE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY FOR A REASON.
1. Urdu(pakistan) and hindi(india) have different script but easily understandable vocally.
2. Brits divided india cause there was a politician by the name Jinnah, who wanted a land for muslims( i think he wanted power so he wanted a place after brits left so he could rule it) and he demanded it on behalf of all muslims and Indian politicians hated him so they agreed to his demand as to get rid of him, later on jinnah became Governor General (sorta president) of pakistan and nehru (his nemesis now) became PM of india.
3. Muslims wanted more land so they claim kashmir, india refused, so they had wars and thus the hatred of each side since their countrymen were killed.
Muslim wanted seriously? Kashmir was Muslim Majority state and dued to merge with pakistan. Indian leaders invaded the merger by bribing the hindu ruler of Muslim majority kashmir
@@awnmuhammad4508 their ruler was hindu and he gave the land to india and we have documentation to prove otherwise. No offense but stop getting annoyed by this
The reason they split the country up was actually because of the Muslims. The Muslim leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah didn’t want the Muslims to be a minority in India (in which the Hindus are the majority). So he proposed the creation of a separate nation for Muslims called Pakistan.
If you want to understand the whole thing i.e., How did the British divided India Pakistan you have to watch a movie callled 'Partition 1947' it is easily available on Netflix....
Please watch it you will know everything.
Pakistan was a state created in 1947 on the basis of religion, it was actually one political party in india called the Muslim league which was very pro British, they demanded an exclusive Muslim state and it was also aligned with the British policy of divide and rule,so they gave them that, the present location of Pakistan was not the place where this political party was based, and people of that place did not demand a new state,the people of Muslim league were from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, they moved to Pakistan after independence and basically forced the people of that part to adopt a new way of life, where Urdu was the official language,hence Pakistan was created, but today there are more Muslims in India than Pakistan. The border is heavily guarded as there was a lot of smuggling of drugs and arms into India in the 80s, which created a drug epidemic in Punjab,even to this day, Indian forces seized 205 kgs of heroine 2 days ago, its a way for Pakistan to create insurgence in Kashmir, the drugs and money that get smuggled into India is moved to Kashmir as Kashmir is next to Punjab, and smuggling drugs across the Kashmir border is not viable so they do it through Punjab. And the British left India not because of Gandhi, but because they feared a mutiny in the army, the navy had already rebelled once and they feared they would all be killed if the army did the same thing.
Passport is issued by the Country that you live in and is a proof that you belong to that specific country while traveling abroad...Visa is issued by the country you are traveling to ( Approval from the host nation to visit )...If you have a Canadian passport and travelling to India, India will issue the visa based on your requirement ( Visit , Study or Work )
Partition happened just because of muslims , and a man called MD Jinnah who was a very egoistic power-hungry man who wanted to separate muslims .
really .
There were 2 parties - Indian National Congress and Muslim league. ML put forward an argument that Hindus and Muslims can't live together so they need a different country specially for muslims. That's how Idea of Pakistan was formed.

My great grandmother came from Pakistan at the time of partion. She used to tell us the stories how she came with 3 kids and a husband. How they protected themselves and the whole thing matched to your recent video you reacted to. The gurdas Maan song.
One of the reasons why they drew the line was on the demand of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the first prime minister of pakistan. He wanted Pakistan to be formed and Muslims be put in a secure nation.
My grandfather (dad's side) died in Punjab whilst trying to escape(Partition of India 1947), and believe me it was a nightmare in reality. It was really dumb planning and the biggest human migration in history. 6.6 million people died. And in the Bengal Famine (1938-1943), some of my granduncles died due to starvation. Nearly 20 million people died and a lot were demoralized. And it was all caused because some 3 million british soldiers needed food. Again, dumb planning.
12:14 there were sizable communities of all religions living side by side for centuries.
They wanted more chaos. And neheru and jinna both wanted power. Gandhi agreed too.
It was Britishers plan devide and rule that's why the decided the whole country into two
The main reason partition happened is due to the fact that Muhammad Ali Jinnah (one of the founders of Pakistan) knew that once the British left India, cooperation between Muslims and Hindus would be nearly impossible due to difference in religion and many historical reasons. Even when the British controlled India, frequent violence between Muslims and Hindus would occur so imagine how bad it would've gotten once the British left. The only possible solution to this was for Muslims to have their own country where they were in the majority. Majority of the Muslims living in India accepted this idea (though some Muslims were also against this). However what NO ONE expected was how the British were gonna handle this. Mr Jinnah was forced to accept these borders of Pakistan by the British otherwise there would've been no Pakistan. I keep seeing many comments below (most notably many Indians) trying to spread misinformation regarding this (the once who hate Pakistan) so be careful reading the comment section guys.
Almost half of pakistanis are punjabi so there's lots of similarities
Pakistani Punjab has over 100million population which is close to half of Pakistans population.
It's believed that -British lawyer who drew the border for india pakistan didn't know about India anything before he never had any idea,just put a map on the table took his scales and done that's it the map is ready a tragedic story...! 😀
I think it's more likely strategic planning , also they made boarder not for india and pakistan but only for islamic land ( east pakistan and west ) , india ( hindu, secular 🙄) was freed over kings of India ( but due to sardar Vallabhbhai Patel we see union state / territory
My grandmother came from pakistan(touba teek singh) place. India pakistan battle for kashmir. This is the main reason
