    I am from México, and I have always been drawn to India as a majestic, exotic and rich country, although I have never had the great pleasure to visit it, because I am poor. But thanks to the net I witness all the marvelous stories and know about the enterprising people living in that country. My state has become a place full of crime and daily assassinations, thanks to the rivers of guns that cross through the border with US, and the complete lose of our beliefs in what is right and what is wrong. All here means money either through killing for money or disputes between drug cartels. Yes, it is very sad that we have become so far from God and His teachings.

      bangladesh was part of british india for 200 yrs. the british india company cobbled all the different tribes, kingdoms together and formed india. the first thing after india gained independence was to partition the country. religion is the glue that holds the country together.
      the china india border issue and the Rohingya problem were man made problems left by the limeys.

And u are taking about what happened not what’s happening if u learn about the world you’ll realize our south Asian history isn’t unique it’s actually quite in line with the word so learn other countries first then come back to our areas in South Asia and you will get a better perspective. Perspective is everything it’s not just a word! In school we had a whole unit in language class about perspective in grade 7 and a whole unit in media these are things god willing I am going to help bring in my Peoples schools by investing in schools and actually give teaching instead of marks.

Learn Pakistan’s government history they even had a socialist government once lol but now it’s good actually they tried making good relations two years ago but India government didn’t respond and never brought it to light in the public so people like you keep thinking the same way. Listen brother they are playing your mind learn for yourself understand what the topics they are discussing are about understand policy’s understand economy and most of al understand human physiology maybe then you’ll get a better picture because i could talk to you in real life and 100% gureantee that I could change ur option by proving facts and making u actually understand the substance of the topics but unfortunately we r online lol so best of luck if u do wish to develop more knowledge and understanding

    When a newspaper hawker said ""I will not celebrate eid until I get settled" it was heart-touching. Mr. Basu was a creaming factor I would say. I wish I could help the chocolate seller to buy him a cool box before he managed it himself! overall fantastic video, I wish I could travel to see these parts of the world, could sit with them, talk to them, eat, pray, sing with them. just 73 years back my ancestors used to travel freely all-around the subcontinent without any restrictions or hesitation. who has done this to us, who made boring borders? Did we actually progress, Did humanity (mankind) actually progress / prosper??? ask yourself. we must think about who induced or induces us to think like this. who does our decisions? When a man is born free, why he is in chains everywhere? long live humanity, lots of love from Pakistan. God bless the universe.

      I think you know the reason, who made the borders and what is the reason.

      @@user-ry8ew2ee6r its not the matter of crying infact, its just another way of thinking.. you won't understand i guess. i travelled all around Europe/West, they are not such confined!!.a couple of century back, many of them were united, one units, someone's colony. even some had walls. but they are independent sovereign progressive states now, they deliberately and utterly forgot their past, changed the rules of the game. you can see the results. In numbers they are couple of dozen crores, but if single western citizen stucks somewhere in the East, whole nation stands up. they have very feirce, weired abd bitter past but they have forgotton it. they have undone many wrong done, why cant we. we cant we..... remember when you cant handle stress you cant manage the success. we got success but we forgot to manage it. thanks

    British didn't quit India as you observed in the introduction. They were forced to flee owing to tremendous pressure of national uprising from all the quarters, including the Royal British Navy, which was the last nail in the coffin.

    It is in response to Madam Rahaman, that in Kolkata many people have the history to come to Kolkata from the then East Pakistan, so naturally they do not have any connection with any village now, but those who were from West Bengal have connection with their village still.
