I love how among every few hateful comments are comments like "I hope it'll all be peaceful and beautiful one day." It just is really really nice. Also, Al Jazeera is doing amazing stuff making such documentaries. It's about being informed on all such issues. History should not be dealt in a way that we bury it but we should face it and look at what went wrong.
Jjkhjgkjhkjb hgjhghnjn Punjab is already split. Bengal is already split. They turned out fine. The people may have what they want, but at the end of the day, everyone knows it is the government who reigns, and neither India nor Pakistan will give up any land. If the first two are still OK after being split, Kashmir will be fine, and had been fine in the past. If they could just split the damn glacier and forget about the blood spilt in 47. Yes, 2 million deaths are bad, but it was not the worst, and are you going to just let one event define the rest of your life? You still have family and need to live. It is tragic, yes, but now you will hatea country for it? That is racist. South Korea gets threatened everyday now. People don't react to it anymore. Kashmir is not viable as an independent state to state with and India sees it as a threat to India's own existence, especially after the whole thing with Khalistan within and now independence movements like Scotland and Catalonia
Divisive politics has always been used to agitate and polarize people for a very long time. Our leaders brilliantly use it for their own agendas. It's time to wake up and think for ourselves. Why do we hate each other? Who benefits from this hatred? Don't get carried away and follow any ideology with unquestioning discipline. Elected representatives, they represent us, they are answerable to us. We have the right to question Rahul. We have to right to question Modi. Don't let them forget they represent us. Don't forget we have the power. And don't forget to remind them that we won't be fooled so easily. And why is nobody talking about USA's interest in the formation of Pakistan? Now our sub-continent is destabilised forever. How do we find a resolution to the Kashmir issue without both sides bleeding excessively.
@Subham Patra you shouldnt talk like that war is not a good thing and if war breaks all of asia will suffer because both countries possess nuclear power witch can whipe india and Pakistan of the map lets hope war doesn't break out because millions will die
It's ironic how the people who suffered most from it ( our elders) want us to forget forgive and move on but we insist to in committing genocide against each other. You are playing your part in that hate even by commenting horrible things on the RUclips comment section (P.S) I am pakistani.
I couldn’t agree more man. People from the border states - Punjab and West Bengal are dismayed and disgusted by the calls for war against Pakistan. It is only people from central Indian states living far from the border, who have no clue of what a civil war - brother against brother - feels like, who call for conflict and revenge. I come from a family of Hindu refugees 99% of whom were killed trying escape East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and come to India. I strongly believe friendship between our people and nations is the natural state of being. Only sick people who enjoy hate want conflict and revenge.
I agree, alhamdulilah someone had said something ... it was our arrogance and ego that divided us of our rich history and land ... but thing is we have to learn to live together and fight the common enemy ...
Only Muslim Indians get along great with Pakistanis. In my school and area Bangladashis n Pakistanis h8 each other n Hindus h8 em both and they aint neighbors, they live in separate areas n only Hindus mix n are friends with Christians.
@xavi xavi wtf, lol, the Brits left SEVENTY FRIKKEN YEARS AGO when noone now was even born so how tf ya gonna blame da Brits for the hate nowadays ffs?
After partition, we are still insane, bashing each other. we should learn from the past. Hatred, hostility is not the outcome. let make this world more peaceful and love and respect each other. love and respect from Peshawar , Pakistan
Tamal Das it's their political establishment pushed by their military's agenda who nurture such assholes beacuse they know deep down they can't fight India on a battlefield. Thus these proxy terrorists are being sheilded. I wouldn't hold it against a normal citizen
My blood is boiling seeing the aftermath of British raj, it wasn't even our fault, British looted India, tortured people, caused famine and in the end divided our country which caused loss of life on both sides, we suffered so much while British were living blissfully in their castle enjoying the resources they looted from us and what's more ironic is that their current generation know nothing about British raj and in their history books they are never taught about the atrocities of their forefathers and their current generation thinks what they have now, rightly belongs to them. We even fought world war for them. And in the end they didn't had the balls even to carry out a proper partition.
Jake Spoon animistic? dark? It's the benevolence of the land and its people that attracted the British to loot The Greater India ( Bangladesh +India +Pakistan ) hence dark may not be the right word. It was already a melting pot of culture, beliefs and faith along with vast natural riches with the longest surviving civilizations and cultural habits hence not barbaric as the land welcomed all and did its best to peacefully co-exist. What is culturally right in one place is not right in the other. I agree with a time certain practices need to change for better in all lands and this did happen and still does. the Feudal system was prevalent in all those countries who colonised other lands. The irony here is the pot calling the kettle black. No one can undo the past; there was /is good and bad gained from colonisation. Its the past and am sure many of us have moved on to live in the present. The largest democracy has done its best to hold together itself as One Nation regardless of the vast mosaic difference. India is what EU is trying to achieve :)
@@DarshSiv The benevolence of the land perhaps, but certainly not all of its people, (think Thuggees , etc. , etc.) And yes the Feudal systems were dark indeed ,people fleeing its effects are what many of the colonies are comprised of. In my own USA, we had to fight two wars to rid ourselves of the British feudal system....and despite being a complete melting pot of people from different nations and races were able to coalesce around the idea of individual being sovereign...and that all government should exist for the benefit of individual freedom and safety. We've gone a long way in the wrong direction since then , ironically , the direction of those we expelled from this country so long ago! India's primary reason for exploitation is simply this . The Hindu religion . It sees nothing as either Good , or Bad...but in the context of time and place.....it attempts to include monotheism with it's many Gods.... worships the creation more than the Creator , attempts to keep many of it's good idea's alive through the worship of material objects; and in doing so introduces mysticism ,superstition , ritual , and confusion. To combat these forces you must seek a non-violent form of Monotheism. Realize that there is an ultimate Good , and also Evil , and choose which one you'd prefer . Seek after it totally. That's it. All else is confusion.
@@leidersammlung6955 Jake Hinduisms Holy Baghwat Gita states the there is one Supreme and this is a Monotheistic religion is misunderstood by the non Hindus. As a practising Hindu and from the Holy Texts we believe the One Lord who manifests in many forms - hence its a Monotheistic religion that embraces polytheism a concept others cant grasp and to me, in my humble opinion there is no requirement for the approval from others walks of life towards mine. Our path is our own, where we believe all roads ( different practices / religious school of thought ) would lead to the same final destination - God. If not the almighty Lord would have cultivated the only right religion across all lands. Hinduism has clear codes of law; it's unfair for one to say we in Hinduism see nothing as Good /Bad. The Holy Gita where the Supreme Incarnate has given a discourse to a prince who refused to go to battle against evil is proof enough that Hinduism has a clear concept of good/bad and the consequence ( Karma). We further have the Upanishads that preach the code of life while the Vedas prescribe practices and understandings. The Holy Gita / Baghwadgeetha, however, is hailed high as the Lord gave the essence of life once again so man can understand the Ultimate Truth. Please do not spread the wrong message without understanding a religion. A curious mind/soul searched the truth and there is no harm in debating/questioning but to conclude a fact without experiencing it / understanding it may not be right
You just simply blaming on the British ? That is your country, you don't have the ball to carry it, how can you expect other to have ball for it? Freedom come with responsibility to solve your own problem. If they were interested enough with India, they wouldn't had given up their power over your country
My grandparents left Rawalpindi during the 1947 massacre. My grandfather used to say that it was so strange how these people who had lived together for centuries, suddenly wanted to exterminate each other. He never got to go back, I hope I will be able to visit this city one day, for him
India and pakistan .🇮🇳🇮🇳🤝🤝🇵🇰🇵🇰. An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind -mahatma gandhi. Stop fighting, we all should live in peace and harmony.. Dharti Bati Ambar Bata, baat diya Bhagwan ko, abb mat Bato Insaan ko...
All Indians and Pakistan abroad get along very well. It fascinates me how hatred is mostly INSIDE these two countries. I think the media in either country plays a big part in creating this hate. Everyone needs to take a step back and look at this properly. I think one day India and Pakistan can be united - not sure how long that may take but together they will be undefeatable.
I am very sad to watch about this brutal history between India and Pakistan. Wish one day that the Pakistani and the Indians would truly understand each other.
God bless the people of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Civilization owes you a great deal of respect, if it wasn't for your peoples I wouldn't be here today.
Mallika is such a beautiful person for putting all of her talents towards preserving the memory of the partition. You can hear in her voice, how dear the subject is to her. That makes it all the more worth while.
Sad is the story of partition. As rightly put by Malika in the documentary; we need the celebrate the kind souls who helped each other at the time of confusion and war on religion is brutal and horrific as it has stripped the humanity off small minded people. May compassion prevail above petite minded politics and religious ideologies so our people of both lands live in unity and help each other forge ahead as a better nation. May we learn to love each other as neighbours so our future generations can live together in harmony and peace.
We can blame others for our misfortunes or learn to take responsibilities. Although, there is no doubt that colonial Britain had failed to provide protection, millions of its subjects during the partition due to their lack of preparation and foresight, but collectively we (Indians and Pakistanis) have failed demonstrate kindness, humanity and dignity to our fellow human beings during the most vulnerable time of their life. We failed to rise above the religious and ideological differences in that moment of history. This dark history of our past will remain engraved forever only to teach us how to be humble and kind to your neighbors. God bless you all
True British are the real villians they been all over the world making mess because of them people had to see there own mothers stomachs cut of liver and everything out.
What the Sardar ji said at the end of the video is enough to reflect on our own mind. Forgiveness is the only weapon by which we can redeem our hatred and vengeance. Whatever machination the governments may capitalize on, decency and commonsense of the common people should prevail in the end.
@Zorba No Hinduism did... see? It is the same pattern. Actually it is the British that divided us. We had lived together for over a thousand years before they came an systematically invented irreconcilable divisions.
Kashmir should just hold a referendum.....we have been fighting like twats over this land...let the people of the land decide....either join india....or pakistan.
My grandmother used to visit her grandpare in rawalpindi during her school summer holidays, and they'd all go and spend a full month in murree. They even took their buffalo along, for fresh dairy products. They had their own cars, two of them. It was a real status symbol in those days, now anybody can spend $2 and call Uber.
are we allowed to download this video and translate in Bangla and show it to people? This is a very well told and very reliable (Imperial) version of the event. Most of the "stories" we here are politicized and not reliable. A very BIG thank you for making these videos!
We can never forget history it happens to those who face it and lives in memory that is itch forever. But we the young generation should do is try to find the medium to built the gap of hatred and distrust. It's all up to us now. No used pointing fingers and blame game. Thanks as always to Aljazeera for this wonderful documentary. Keep up the good work.
What Is What? Before British took over major parts of Indian territory was ruled by Maratha empire not many states fighting with each other. It doesnot matter how many kingdoms were there but the notion of India has existed since ancient time.
Ever heard about Maurya and Gupt empire. These were empires existed many years before advent of Islam in this part of world. Megasthenese wrote 'Indica' on his experiences in India 2 thousand years ago. Adi Shankaracharya established four maths in four different directions of country. It was always known to foreigners as India. That's why an ocean was named Indian ocean.Yes there were many states later but there was always a realization that we are part of a single nation Aryavratt, Bharatvarsh or Hindustan as called by mughals.
Nihal Pathak ofc I know about maura and gupta empire. I was talking about the name india. India is a name given by foreigners. Not by the people who lived there. Until British recognised this sub continent as India it was never "India". In that sense you can't say "India" was always there.
The name India came from Hind which came from Sindh. So irrespective of what foreigners called India (India i.e. Bharat another name used in indian constitution) was always there. BTW our great epic Mahabharata which came into shape around 1800 years ago tells the tale of a the great Bharata dynasty. "उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् । वर्ष तद्भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संतति ॥[3] This verse is taken from Vishnu puran (400-300 BCE). It says the sacred land situated on the north of ocean and south of himalayas is called Bharatvarsha and its people are called Bharatis. So it doesn't matter a bit what foreigners called we were part of Bharat or India since time immemorial.
The actual story is that British wanted to build a military camp to keep a check to soviet Russia so they asked congress would they allow but they denied so they went to ask jinnah and he accepted his offer so britishers supported and divided to the country in their own favour
Bangladesh (East Pakistan) was forced by Pakistan (West Pakistan) on three fronts : 1. Monopoly of West Pakistan over East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) 2. Urdu as their primary language and Arabic style over a 98% Bengali population 3. Forced Islamization without cultural freedom as those people were more of a Hindi+Bengali community All this was ridiculous af and East Pakistan asked India for help and India liberated them. A major L for West Pakistan (now Pakistan)
I hope one day the Indian subcontinent is united again. We look like each other, we eat the same food, we dress like each other but we remain divided even after independence. When I see an Indian from Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Punjab or any of the other states, we probably dont speak the same language or have the same religion but we know we are Indians, we share that bond but when i see somebody else from the same subcontinent, who looks similar to us, who wears the same clothes, who eats the same food, I have to call him Pakistani not Indian. Doesn't make sense.
an honest observation:I am a Bangladeshi and muslim by birth,but l am not a religious person.when l first studied about the devision of India and pakistan just based on religion ,l strongly CONDEMNED this.But then l started to realize something strange in the people of this indian subcontinent region,we are very intolerant of different ideologies among us.l was finally convinced that the division from india was actually good & better for many peoples (specially for the muslim minorities)when BJP came to power in india and the nature of hindu extremists was brought to day light.Many horrible things still happen in India that we cant even imagine in our country although we are not 100% developed.WE FEEL SAFE HERE. AND THE VALUE OF A MAN'S LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN THAT OF A COW IN OUR COUNTRY.
I think both of our countries should merge as we were until 1947. Unity is the most powerful thing, when ever we were saperated on the name of religion, cast and region etc foreign powers ruled on us. We the people from indian sub-continent are same people, coming from a same mother land, which is mughal india or maurya empire or vedic/ancient india which has now divided into pieces... Let us hope for peace and unity....
No we are not same people. We not re unite with india ever again. We are happy in Pakistan. You stay happy in india. We only need better relations between us
Nah Indians have progressed too much, Pakistan hasn’t. It really doesn’t make any sense to unite with a corrupt government whose head of state is currently in hiding 🤡 but Pakistani people have nothing but love from me. They didn’t sign up for this atrocity. Sincerely, an Indian.
Jinnah wanted power, when he realized he wasn't going to win it in an election he changed his game and went radical. He got his power at the expense of over a million lives. He got his power by turning people who used to live together into violent riotous monsters. The British set up the situation and Jinnah exploited it for his own gain, and both India and Pakistan are still paying the price. I don't understand why you are thanking him for anything.
We Baloch,pakhtoons, and gilgit baltistan has nothing to do with partition .we were forcefully integrated into british India..after partition we joined Pakistan..partition is only of Punjab area..if Indian Punjabis think partition should never have happened,they can join Pakistan...rest of the India has nothing to do with partition..people living in both counties are totally different..we are not same..
savage q because Pakistan is iranic Now you know it why you keep saying we Pakistanis are Indians? Now if you are confessing yourself that iranic people live in Pakistan So from tomorrow stop saying Pakistanis are indian because we aren't
punjubis and rajputs look different from south india does that mean they are not indian. India has many ethnicities parsi(iran) northeast indo-mongol(bengal and surroudind) indo aryan(North-west) so does Pakistan we are the civilization of indus vally region (who met with North east) takshila and many historic places in the pakisthan reflect that. islam came long back to india in 6-7th century even maharaja of kerala met with Mohamed and practiced islam problem is with later invaders who are lunatics like bin qasim Ghazi now you rename your felicities and weapons after them and associating with them is hipocracy shows your hatred towards Indians(who did't come to islam)
25:34 He expressed soo much of pain. Peoples of India and Pakistan had been through the worst times. & I'm thankful to God that I have born in an Independent, Constitutional and Secular Country. Be grateful for what we are today.
SnRBroz This is what I exactly think to those hating comments! THERE HISTORY IN BOTH! just name of the land has been added into addition. Some peoples not just this guy but others mind have such a small boxed mind!
That just means that India won't be able to view these vids even though the rest of the world can view. I'm glad my country believes in freedom of speech. Even if that speech isn't the same as what I believe in.
Both Pakistan and India suffered a lot in the partition but in this documentary you can see the Pakistani side suffered a lot. Hopefully we will be in peace.
N0THiNG6 Indian history books are sponsors by rss...there was no existence of your United india before British...a lot of states were forcefully integrated by British ...stop living in fools paradise and read real history..partition should only bother Punjabis not Indians...
oh myy. where do get these news from, madrassas???? india is not pakistan where schools are taught in madrassas filled with fake science and history books...you should be the one reading real history books..oh yeah right thats why Persian invaders came to "Hindustan" the land of hindus?? that's why vasco da gama and columbus set across sail to find pakistan? don't come here and make a fool out of yourself..
what had to happen has happened...both of them are still rivals, but not for long. I know our generation is gonna get along well! When we grow up. Cause we don't dwell on the past and kill and murder but hope for a bright future! For both! ♥️
A great documentary that has put forward the forgotten horrors of the ill fated partition Salute the spirit of all those survivors who have kept living through such extreme pain But i must point out to AlJazeera that you may pulled up by the I&B ministry of India for depicting disputed territory of some part of the state of Jammu&Kashmir as part of the country
Please for the love of God , India and Pakistan let the Kashmiris live in peace as an autonomous state. And let there finally be peace so I can go to India , hug my Indian brothers and sisters and stay up late on the streets of Delhi with a good cup of tea in our hands , laughing into the late hours of the night. Please ... enough is enough
I wish and pray India and Pakistan resolve their differences and continue to live in peace hereafter .There should be no more blood shed in both sides !Peace from Indian!
the map of indian state of Jammu and kashmir is wrong in your video. Please correct it .you've puposely edited Aksai chin out of india. I'm deplored by AL Jazzera Hideous and blunt diregard for sovereignity of Republic of India and its border
its quite sad that the british, even after hundreds of years of colonisation didn't even have the patience to work out an amicable solution. it clearly shows how the british viewed india as a nation and even sadder how they viewed us as people.
The British officers were not "unable to prevent", instead they actually facilitated riots and conflicts to blow out of proportion so that their presence could be justified. One of the easiest methods employed : sending police and military officers of one community into a village or urban area dominated by the other, to make it seem as if it's a Hindu-Muslim problem and the British are there to "actually maintain order". It's actually the opposite that's true - Britain has always got hold of minor fissures and disputes by pouring massive fuel into the sparks, making it blow up into a full blown fire, and then blame it on the "natives"
There was no India Before British Colonialism. Indian subcontinent consisted of Numbers of independent Kingdoms and empires. British later Successfully unified of what now is India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. When it was time to leave British partitioned the subcontinent creating three new countries. So Indian friends who claim India was before. It is India happened after British but Bharat was before British. BECAUSE though independent kingdoms and empires, People of Indian subcontinent all shared core to core Religion, culture, ethnicity which unified as Bharat. BRITISH were unable to conquer Kingdom of Nepal and Kingdom of Bhutan at that time. Me as a Nepalese, Though we retaliated and threw British away, they cost us our lands which was once Nepal. Sikkim, Darjeeling and many more was once Part of Kingdom of Nepal . British offered us a treaty which cost us 1/3 of then Nepal. When British left this issue was not even resolved. It was Nepal with British the treaty was signed not India after independent. India should have returned which Belonged to Nepal. Even so , bygones are bygones. We cannot change what happened in the past even if we can, sacrifices has to be met . So we must avoid wars and conflict and reach to agreement brothers
We will never be peaceful in both India and Pakistan unless we accept that the horrors of partition happened because of our own daemons. It was our societies that bred this horror and it erupted in 47. There were some valid reasons for minority Muslim community in India to be afraid of Hindus..not just Hindus but Hindu Brahmins and upper caste. Because they were politically and economically powerful. In an undivided India Muslim would have met the SAME fate the dalits have met. Things got worse when forefathers of RSS first accepted the Two Nation Theory..Even Congress was upper caste Hindu dominated...Jinnah saw the future. He knew upper caste Hindus have started to organise against minorities including dalits. He knew Muslims will be sidelined. Jinnah and Ambedkar even supported each other at one point. Slowly Jinnah accepted two nation theory that was first invented by RSS. The result - brutal partition. In free India we are STILL living in extreme caste violence , anti minority riots and STILL TO THIS DAY politics,media, business, power everything is centred in the hands of upper caste Hindus. India is essentially an apartheid state and simply blaming the British will not solve anything. The British took advantage of our own hatred for each other .
It is quite well understood among Indian and Pakistani communities all over the world and in their respective nations that partition was a British agenda to prevent civil war. To maintain a powerful military presence as the only sign of stability in Its country, Pakistan fought and lost 3 wars against India.Borders of blood may talk about partition but it is mostly highlighting how the Sikh community and the Muslim community was affected. Thousands of Hindus, Muslims, and even Christians died in the chaos.Kashmir is militarized only because Pakistan fails to realize that Kashmir can never be a part of Pakistan. Every single Indian can say that and the military of India has already proven that time and again. Unless the generals who actually control Pakistan realize this, the borders will always be bloody..Jai Hind
the ppl who migrated from india to pak are still called Muhazir and not accepted fully. Many regret their decision to shift. it is greatest tragedy... the culture of the land is more powerful than the religion... religion u may change in a day.. to adopt to a different culture it takes generations
It comes down to each individual. How can u blame anyone else for that guy stabbing his mother or ppl raping that widow? I'm just sick of ppl today it's always someones fault .
We all are human separated with Religion and Nationality .... India and Pakistan should be together as one country again ....... religions could not rule our mankind ...... India nationalism concept is not based on Hindu religion or language ... when you look at the countries all over the world their nationalism is based on religion or language but in India its based on 'Unity in diversity' Its the heart of Indian democracy .....we Pakistan India Bangladesh should unite for our peoples wellness and show the world the humanity Without border.
The blame goes on Nehru and Jinnah as both vied for power and many innocents lost their lives,the masses were blinded by so much propaganda that they failed to look at their past of harmony and brotherhood,saare jahan se achha Hindustan hamara became a distant dream
Ashley 11101990 in kashmir it's Indian army killing the people...there is no nehru Jinnah in Kashmir...Pakistanis and Indians were and are different people..partition was destined...
It was Jinnah who demanded a separate Islamic country. No need to blame Nehru for it. It would be like blaming leaders of Russia, Thailand, Philippines, China etc for the islamic terrorists fighting for an islamic country in their respective countries.
Look guys the enmity between us only is seen when we are exposed to propaganda,but if a pakistani and a indian meet up abroad they dont greet each other with abuses amd hatred,the point is that democracy as a concept was not understood clearly in the 1940s as due to democracy Germans created Hitler,similarly the fear of beong dominated by Hindus awakened in the muslim masses after the rally in Bengal in early 1900s where the bengali Hindus used the picture of Kaali Mata in the protests that ignited the fear even further as they misunderstood ethnic nationalism coupled with religious fanaticism,many Pakistanis think today that minorities dont live peacefully in a Hindu India and the same is for us Indians who think the same for Minorities in Pakistan,the common man in these countires wants peace not war,but to be factually correct the Pakistani army(not the regular soldier) is responsoble for creating the mess of terrorism as they should have dissolved these groups after the afghan war but did not take the initiative and now see where it has led to,many innocent lives lost,its not about being muslim,hindu,christian,sikh,etc. Nationality cant be defined by religion,culture and language is the basis for nationhood,thats why Bangladesh became free,i am a christian by faith but does that make me white? No,my ancestors were hindus from this subcontinent,similarly Muslims in the subcontinent are not Arabs the Pakistanis need to accept that as they are ethnic Baloch,Sindhis,Punjabis,Sairakis,Hindko,etc who were once Hindus,Buddhists and Zoroastrians ,also Muslim umma ka theka mat leke rakho the Arabs themselves despise Pakistanis,look at how they treat you guys in their lands,we are one people who were not united and other took advantage of it and divided us.
By seeing the below comments of both country men closely even today any sensible person can understand why the separation was so much necessary at that time.
Blue Tiger Yes, village ‘elders’ have tried and sentenced victims to death under the sharia. In recent years the government has tried and sentenced the ‘elders’ and participants to prison. I’m not saying that horrific things don’t happen. I’m not saying that a blind-eye isn’t turned to atrocities but these countries are trying to change and resent human rights.
It was very nice to view borders of blood on aljazeera tv. The telefilm documentary however mentions very little about kashmir which is basis of dispute between two nuclear powers pakistan and india. The kashmir has its unique history having its own kings before comming of birtish empire to india when india was ruled by muslim empire the last of which was mugal king bahadur shah zaffar at kashmir the muslim king was zain ul abideen or famous budshah the last muslim king at kashmir. The overtake of muslim empire over india the fort of mughal empire famous red fort of capital city delhi.the birtish empire did not ruled kashmir directly but by way of treaty of amritsar and gave power to Sikhs known as Sikh empire of which the documentary borders of blood mentions as Maharaja simply meaning king in Hindi language. The birtish empire ruled kashmir through these Sikh kings by way of treaty of amritsar till 1947 after second world war a global political change emerged and finally birtish empire passed government of India independence act 1947 by which two nations were created by way of partition. The kashmir was given a free choice either to accede to india or pakistan. Father of nation of Pakistan MR Ali Mohammad jinnah visited kashmir of which the pakistani kabbilis or gurellas have taken control upto five kilometres of srinagar city in 1947 the political leadership of kashmir was headed by sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who made reading room party the Penrith Jawaharlal Nehru also visited kashmir in 1947 to get political support from kashmir leadership Maharaja Gandhi also visited kashmir to persuade kashmiri political leadership to accede to delhi in short kashmir is not part of india historically being having its own history culture ethics norms in form of thousand years history which no one can deny. The kashmiri political leadership under leadership of sheikh Abdullah founded muslim conference however at the eleventh hour changed it into national conference and entered into political agreement with new delhi which was incorporated into constiution of india as article 370 and article 35A and constiution of jammu and kashmir was framed for which three consecutive chief ministers of Abdullah family had ruled since last 75 years however on 5th of august 2019 parliament of india ended the accession agreement unilaterally and abrogated article 370 and article 35A and uprooted the constiution of jammu and kashmir. Pakistan finds its support from muslim conference since 1947 and various pro pakistani political parties also emerged in last 75 years openly supporting pakistan. However after 5th of august 2019 a political unrest is found at kashmir as india under might is right rule safeguarded its interests which were under article 370 viz communications defence and external or foreign affairs by way of biometricaly prisoning whole population at kashmir as well as communication blockades of which united states of AMERICA congressmen also showed deep concerns when from august 2019 till January 2020 whole communication mobile phones internet was blocked by india. UNITED states of AMERICA stresses about global military order of 1947 by which indian armies have moved inside kashmir and UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION number 47 of which india is a signatory accepting kashmir as dispute before international community dating back 1947 however on 5th of august 2019 even UNITED NATIONS was astonished how it is union terrority when there is resolution 47 global military order of 1947 by which UN military observatory group is present at kashmir. However in early February 2020 when UNITED STATES president visited india he mentioned kashmir issue indicating clearly that Trump administration is fully aware of kashmir history. Hope aljazeera will make a full documentary on Kashmir as people at kashmir are SAYING it's not union terriority as claimed by india after 5th of August 2019 rhetorically and practically but UN terriority UNITED NATIONS terriority.
I love how among every few hateful comments are comments like "I hope it'll all be peaceful and beautiful one day." It just is really really nice.
Also, Al Jazeera is doing amazing stuff making such documentaries. It's about being informed on all such issues. History should not be dealt in a way that we bury it but we should face it and look at what went wrong.

Punjab is already split. Bengal is already split. They turned out fine. The people may have what they want, but at the end of the day, everyone knows it is the government who reigns, and neither India nor Pakistan will give up any land. If the first two are still OK after being split, Kashmir will be fine, and had been fine in the past. If they could just split the damn glacier and forget about the blood spilt in 47. Yes, 2 million deaths are bad, but it was not the worst, and are you going to just let one event define the rest of your life? You still have family and need to live. It is tragic, yes, but now you will hatea country for it? That is racist. South Korea gets threatened everyday now. People don't react to it anymore.
Kashmir is not viable as an independent state to state with and India sees it as a threat to India's own existence, especially after the whole thing with Khalistan within and now independence movements like Scotland and Catalonia

If you want to understand why the partition happened, read The Indian Ideology by Perry Anderson.
Hey, asshole, Muslims in India are economically on the same level as Dalits.
perry anderson is a marxist historian. the communists will blame everyone except themself

Divisive politics has always been used to agitate and polarize people for a very long time.
Our leaders brilliantly use it for their own agendas.
It's time to wake up and think for ourselves. Why do we hate each other? Who benefits from this hatred?
Don't get carried away and follow any ideology with unquestioning discipline.
Elected representatives, they represent us, they are answerable to us. We have the right to question Rahul. We have to right to question Modi.
Don't let them forget they represent us. Don't forget we have the power. And don't forget to remind them that we won't be fooled so easily.
And why is nobody talking about USA's interest in the formation of Pakistan? Now our sub-continent is destabilised forever. How do we find a resolution to the Kashmir issue without both sides bleeding excessively.
This is not the Independence day for India, we got only the Dominion Status in 1947.
@Subham Patra you shouldnt talk like that war is not a good thing and if war breaks all of asia will suffer because both countries possess nuclear power witch can whipe india and Pakistan of the map lets hope war doesn't break out because millions will die
Without resolution of kashmir issue...india pakistan can never come closer.
It's ironic how the people who suffered most from it ( our elders) want us to forget forgive and move on but we insist to in committing genocide against each other. You are playing your part in that hate even by commenting horrible things on the RUclips comment section (P.S) I am pakistani.

I couldn’t agree more man. People from the border states - Punjab and West Bengal are dismayed and disgusted by the calls for war against Pakistan. It is only people from central Indian states living far from the border, who have no clue of what a civil war - brother against brother - feels like, who call for conflict and revenge. I come from a family of Hindu refugees 99% of whom were killed trying escape East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and come to India. I strongly believe friendship between our people and nations is the natural state of being. Only sick people who enjoy hate want conflict and revenge.
I agree, alhamdulilah someone had said something ... it was our arrogance and ego that divided us of our rich history and land ... but thing is we have to learn to live together and fight the common enemy ...
India zindabad....Pakistan zindabad...by a keralite, by a south Indian, by an Indian...peace🙂

yes..good..i want the same from india...its only punabi who create this emotional drama...all other 28 indian states r happy with partition.
Tamal Das it's their political establishment pushed by their military's agenda who nurture such assholes beacuse they know deep down they can't fight India on a battlefield. Thus these proxy terrorists are being sheilded. I wouldn't hold it against a normal citizen
My blood is boiling seeing the aftermath of British raj, it wasn't even our fault, British looted India, tortured people, caused famine and in the end divided our country which caused loss of life on both sides, we suffered so much while British were living blissfully in their castle enjoying the resources they looted from us and what's more ironic is that their current generation know nothing about British raj and in their history books they are never taught about the atrocities of their forefathers and their current generation thinks what they have now, rightly belongs to them. We even fought world war for them. And in the end they didn't had the balls even to carry out a proper partition.
@@leidersammlung6955 Lord Mountie' end was also a rather messy affair. All is fair in....
Jake Spoon animistic? dark?
It's the benevolence of the land and its people that attracted the British to loot The Greater India ( Bangladesh +India +Pakistan ) hence dark may not be the right word. It was already a melting pot of culture, beliefs and faith along with vast natural riches with the longest surviving civilizations and cultural habits hence not barbaric as the land welcomed all and did its best to peacefully co-exist.
What is culturally right in one place is not right in the other. I agree with a time certain practices need to change for better in all lands and this did happen and still does. the Feudal system was prevalent in all those countries who colonised other lands. The irony here is the pot calling the kettle black.
No one can undo the past; there was /is good and bad gained from colonisation. Its the past and am sure many of us have moved on to live in the present. The largest democracy has done its best to hold together itself as One Nation regardless of the vast mosaic difference. India is what EU is trying to achieve :)
@@DarshSiv The benevolence of the land perhaps, but certainly not all of its people, (think Thuggees , etc. , etc.) And yes the Feudal systems were dark indeed ,people fleeing its effects are what many of the colonies are comprised of. In my own USA, we had to fight two wars to rid ourselves of the British feudal system....and despite being a complete melting pot of people from different nations and races were able to coalesce around the idea of individual being sovereign...and that all government should exist for the benefit of individual freedom and safety.
We've gone a long way in the wrong direction since then , ironically , the direction of those we expelled from this country so long ago!
India's primary reason for exploitation is simply this . The Hindu religion . It sees nothing as either Good , or Bad...but in the context of time and place.....it attempts to include monotheism with it's many Gods.... worships the creation more than the Creator , attempts to keep many of it's good idea's alive through the worship of material objects; and in doing so introduces mysticism ,superstition , ritual , and confusion.
To combat these forces you must seek a non-violent form of Monotheism. Realize that there is an ultimate Good , and also Evil , and choose which one you'd prefer . Seek after it totally. That's it. All else is confusion.
@@leidersammlung6955 Jake Hinduisms Holy Baghwat Gita states the there is one Supreme and this is a Monotheistic religion is misunderstood by the non Hindus. As a practising Hindu and from the Holy Texts we believe the One Lord who manifests in many forms - hence its a Monotheistic religion that embraces polytheism a concept others cant grasp and to me, in my humble opinion there is no requirement for the approval from others walks of life towards mine.
Our path is our own, where we believe all roads ( different practices / religious school of thought ) would lead to the same final destination - God. If not the almighty Lord would have cultivated the only right religion across all lands.
Hinduism has clear codes of law; it's unfair for one to say we in Hinduism see nothing as Good /Bad. The Holy Gita where the Supreme Incarnate has given a discourse to a prince who refused to go to battle against evil is proof enough that Hinduism has a clear concept of good/bad and the consequence ( Karma). We further have the Upanishads that preach the code of life while the Vedas prescribe practices and understandings. The Holy Gita / Baghwadgeetha, however, is hailed high as the Lord gave the essence of life once again so man can understand the Ultimate Truth.
Please do not spread the wrong message without understanding a religion. A curious mind/soul searched the truth and there is no harm in debating/questioning but to conclude a fact without experiencing it / understanding it may not be right
You just simply blaming on the British ? That is your country, you don't have the ball to carry it, how can you expect other to have ball for it?
Freedom come with responsibility to solve your own problem. If they were interested enough with India, they wouldn't had given up their power over your country

Fantastic documentary. Thanks Al Jazeera for shedding light on a very charged topic. Can't wait for the next episode.
All Indians and Pakistan abroad get along very well. It fascinates me how hatred is mostly INSIDE these two countries. I think the media in either country plays a big part in creating this hate.
Everyone needs to take a step back and look at this properly. I think one day India and Pakistan can be united - not sure how long that may take but together they will be undefeatable.
I am very sad to watch about this brutal history between India and Pakistan. Wish one day that the Pakistani and the Indians would truly understand each other.
God bless the people of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Civilization owes you a great deal of respect, if it wasn't for your peoples I wouldn't be here today.
uh, you wouldn't be here without Indian ppl? did your mom have a Indian lover 9 months b4 you were born?
India is our neighbour we should respect for each others
I am sure everyone is love their country so am i,
Mallika is such a beautiful person for putting all of her talents towards preserving the memory of the partition. You can hear in her voice, how dear the subject is to her. That makes it all the more worth while.
Sad is the story of partition. As rightly put by Malika in the documentary; we need the celebrate the kind souls who helped each other at the time of confusion and war on religion is brutal and horrific as it has stripped the humanity off small minded people.
May compassion prevail above petite minded politics and religious ideologies so our people of both lands live in unity and help each other forge ahead as a better nation.
May we learn to love each other as neighbours so our future generations can live together in harmony and peace.
Sad history. Let this video be an example of what a war can do. Peace between India and Pakistan

We can blame others for our misfortunes or learn to take responsibilities. Although, there is no doubt that colonial Britain had failed to provide protection, millions of its subjects during the partition due to their lack of preparation and foresight, but collectively we (Indians and Pakistanis) have failed demonstrate kindness, humanity and dignity to our fellow human beings during the most vulnerable time of their life. We failed to rise above the religious and ideological differences in that moment of history. This dark history of our past will remain engraved forever only to teach us how to be humble and kind to your neighbors. God bless you all
It was fault of British
True British are the real villians they been all over the world making mess because of them people had to see there own mothers stomachs cut of liver and everything out.
Partition was really painful for the ppl who saw it.😥
What the Sardar ji said at the end of the video is enough to reflect on our own mind. Forgiveness is the only weapon by which we can redeem our hatred and vengeance. Whatever machination the governments may capitalize on, decency and commonsense of the common people should prevail in the end.
We all feel these partition stories be archieved stories only of hatred but also stories of man kind helping others..
Let's spread love to all 😍😍

A very BIG thank you for making these videos!
Indian, Pakistanis,Nepalese and last but not is Bangladesh get long with each other as friends in Canada.
We can never forget history it happens to those who face it and lives in memory that is itch forever. But we the young generation should do is try to find the medium to built the gap of hatred and distrust. It's all up to us now. No used pointing fingers and blame game. Thanks as always to Aljazeera for this wonderful documentary. Keep up the good work.
15 million people displaced, 1 million casualties, a sub continent ripped apart, all the horror because of the egos of two men, Nehru and Jinnah.
Fantastic Research . Thank you for this video.
Al-Jazeera talking about partition and violence but supporting terrorist groups and organisations. What a hippocracy!!
You means RSS?
India born with blood ? Oh Al Jazeera ... India was always there since beginning.
What Is What?
Before British took over major parts of Indian territory was ruled by Maratha empire not many states fighting with each other. It doesnot matter how many kingdoms were there but the notion of India has existed since ancient time.
India was always there? No, you are wrong. India was never there until British gave the name India.
Ever heard about Maurya and Gupt empire. These were empires existed many years before advent of Islam in this part of world. Megasthenese wrote 'Indica' on his experiences in India 2 thousand years ago. Adi Shankaracharya established four maths in four different directions of country. It was always known to foreigners as India. That's why an ocean was named Indian ocean.Yes there were many states later but there was always a realization that we are part of a single nation Aryavratt, Bharatvarsh or Hindustan as called by mughals.
Nihal Pathak ofc I know about maura and gupta empire. I was talking about the name india. India is a name given by foreigners. Not by the people who lived there. Until British recognised this sub continent as India it was never "India". In that sense you can't say "India" was always there.
The name India came from Hind which came from Sindh. So irrespective of what foreigners called India (India i.e. Bharat another name used in indian constitution) was always there. BTW our great epic Mahabharata which came into shape around 1800 years ago tells the tale of a the great Bharata dynasty.
"उत्तरं यत्समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम् । वर्ष तद्भारतं नाम भारती यत्र संतति ॥[3]
This verse is taken from Vishnu puran (400-300 BCE). It says the sacred land situated on the north of ocean and south of himalayas is called Bharatvarsha and its people are called Bharatis. So it doesn't matter a bit what foreigners called we were part of Bharat or India since time immemorial.
The actual story is that British wanted to build a military camp to keep a check to soviet Russia so they asked congress would they allow but they denied so they went to ask jinnah and he accepted his offer so britishers supported and divided to the country in their own favour
The British did not want to give USSR an access to the Karachi port.. Jinna was a puppet.
miss marvel bought me here to learn about partition!
Me too
There should really be a more in depth documentary on the war between Bangladesh and Pakistan. Please shed more light on this.
They arent even related to wht qe have to talk of
Bangladesh (East Pakistan) was forced by Pakistan (West Pakistan) on three fronts :
1. Monopoly of West Pakistan over East Pakistan (now Bangladesh)
2. Urdu as their primary language and Arabic style over a 98% Bengali population
3. Forced Islamization without cultural freedom as those people were more of a Hindi+Bengali community
All this was ridiculous af and East Pakistan asked India for help and India liberated them. A major L for West Pakistan (now Pakistan)
good documentry, keep it up al jazeera!!
I hope one day the Indian subcontinent is united again. We look like each other, we eat the same food, we dress like each other but we remain divided even after independence. When I see an Indian from Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Punjab or any of the other states, we probably dont speak the same language or have the same religion but we know we are Indians, we share that bond but when i see somebody else from the same subcontinent, who looks similar to us, who wears the same clothes, who eats the same food, I have to call him Pakistani not Indian. Doesn't make sense.

True, because of Islam , brother turned on brother.
Amit Kumar Islam didn’t tell people to do this, this was a direct result of geo politics. Stop being so biased.
an honest observation:I am a Bangladeshi and muslim by birth,but l am not a religious person.when l first studied about the devision of India and pakistan just based on religion ,l strongly CONDEMNED this.But then l started to realize something strange in the people of this indian subcontinent region,we are very intolerant of different ideologies among us.l was finally convinced that the division from india was actually good & better for many peoples (specially for the muslim minorities)when BJP came to power in india and the nature of hindu extremists was brought to day light.Many horrible things still happen in India that we cant even imagine in our country although we are not 100% developed.WE FEEL SAFE HERE. AND THE VALUE OF A MAN'S LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN THAT OF A COW IN OUR COUNTRY.
I think both of our countries should merge as we were until 1947.
Unity is the most powerful thing, when ever we were saperated on the name of religion, cast and region etc foreign powers ruled on us.
We the people from indian sub-continent are same people, coming from a same mother land, which is mughal india or maurya empire or vedic/ancient india which has now divided into pieces...
Let us hope for peace and unity....
Pakistan is a separate state and there nothing NOTHING that will undo it
No we are not same people. We not re unite with india ever again.
We are happy in Pakistan. You stay happy in india.
We only need better relations between us
Nah Indians have progressed too much, Pakistan hasn’t. It really doesn’t make any sense to unite with a corrupt government whose head of state is currently in hiding 🤡 but Pakistani people have nothing but love from me. They didn’t sign up for this atrocity. Sincerely, an Indian.
I don't know why, it made me cry
Thank u M Ali Jinnah... This was bit unfair documentary as only 1 pakistani was shown to share his memories...
Thank you Jinnah, from India as well . :)
He was a traitor to Bombay and broke the Hindu-Sindh concept never thank him, blame him for all the terrorism that was born in pak.
Jinnah wanted power, when he realized he wasn't going to win it in an election he changed his game and went radical. He got his power at the expense of over a million lives. He got his power by turning people who used to live together into violent riotous monsters. The British set up the situation and Jinnah exploited it for his own gain, and both India and Pakistan are still paying the price. I don't understand why you are thanking him for anything.
THANK M ALI JINNAH FOR PUTTING A BOARDER AROUND ALL THE JIHADIS, TO PROTECT REAL INDIANS.

One of the moments when we forget that we are all brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of one GOD.
its quite sad that the british, even after hundreds of years of colonisation didn't even have the patience to work out an amicable solution. it clearly shows how the british viewed india as a nation and even sadder how they viewed us as people.
the casual observer soon India will teach them a lesson
The British officers were not "unable to prevent", instead they actually facilitated riots and conflicts to blow out of proportion so that their presence could be justified.
One of the easiest methods employed : sending police and military officers of one community into a village or urban area dominated by the other, to make it seem as if it's a Hindu-Muslim problem and the British are there to "actually maintain order". It's actually the opposite that's true - Britain has always got hold of minor fissures and disputes by pouring massive fuel into the sparks, making it blow up into a full blown fire, and then blame it on the "natives"
There was no India Before British Colonialism.
Indian subcontinent consisted of Numbers of independent Kingdoms and empires. British later Successfully unified of what now is India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. When it was time to leave British partitioned the subcontinent creating three new countries.
So Indian friends who claim India was before. It is India happened after British but Bharat was before British. BECAUSE though independent kingdoms and empires, People of Indian subcontinent all shared core to core Religion, culture, ethnicity which unified as Bharat.
BRITISH were unable to conquer Kingdom of Nepal and Kingdom of Bhutan at that time.
Me as a Nepalese, Though we retaliated and threw British away, they cost us our lands which was once Nepal.
Sikkim, Darjeeling and many more was once Part of Kingdom of Nepal . British offered us a treaty which cost us 1/3 of then Nepal. When British left this issue was not even resolved. It was Nepal with British the treaty was signed not India after independent. India should have returned which Belonged to Nepal.
Even so , bygones are bygones. We cannot change what happened in the past even if we can, sacrifices has to be met . So we must avoid wars and conflict and reach to agreement brothers
Unite india. End of story. Happily ever after

We will never be peaceful in both India and Pakistan unless we accept that the horrors of partition happened because of our own daemons. It was our societies that bred this horror and it erupted in 47. There were some valid reasons for minority Muslim community in India to be afraid of Hindus..not just Hindus but Hindu Brahmins and upper caste. Because they were politically and economically powerful. In an undivided India Muslim would have met the SAME fate the dalits have met. Things got worse when forefathers of RSS first accepted the Two Nation Theory..Even Congress was upper caste Hindu dominated...Jinnah saw the future. He knew upper caste Hindus have started to organise against minorities including dalits. He knew Muslims will be sidelined. Jinnah and Ambedkar even supported each other at one point. Slowly Jinnah accepted two nation theory that was first invented by RSS. The result - brutal partition. In free India we are STILL living in extreme caste violence , anti minority riots and STILL TO THIS DAY politics,media, business, power everything is centred in the hands of upper caste Hindus. India is essentially an apartheid state and simply blaming the British will not solve anything. The British took advantage of our own hatred for each other .
Lol😂😂😂😂
It is quite well understood among Indian and Pakistani communities all over the world and in their respective nations that partition was a British agenda to prevent civil war. To maintain a powerful military presence as the only sign of stability in Its country, Pakistan fought and lost 3 wars against India.Borders of blood may talk about partition but it is mostly highlighting how the Sikh community and the Muslim community was affected. Thousands of Hindus, Muslims, and even Christians died in the chaos.Kashmir is militarized only because Pakistan fails to realize that Kashmir can never be a part of Pakistan. Every single Indian can say that and the military of India has already proven that time and again. Unless the generals who actually control Pakistan realize this, the borders will always be bloody..Jai Hind
Partition was the biggest mistake
The Brits creating India was the biggest mistake.
Fakhar Siam partition was the best thing that happened. We Pakistanis are happy.
@@zfb3723 what abt minorities in both sides who ended up suffering? What abt torn families
One day great India will reunite again.
Long live India
We kashmiri love 🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤🇵🇰
Chutiya
We Indians love Isreal 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🤎🤎🤎
the ppl who migrated from india to pak are still called Muhazir and not accepted fully. Many regret their decision to shift. it is greatest tragedy... the culture of the land is more powerful than the religion... religion u may change in a day.. to adopt to a different culture it takes generations
It comes down to each individual. How can u blame anyone else for that guy stabbing his mother or ppl raping that widow? I'm just sick of ppl today it's always someones fault .
Please make such type of historical video on Greater Nepal !!!
I am from Indian occupied kashmir and we want freedom
Ahmad Arfaq indeed you will get freedom ishallah , you will be send to jannat
Before the partition, regardless of religion, we all lived, side by side in peace, shame politics had to ruin this.
Real thing behind partition are jinnha and nheru, they wanted to be PM of India. they did not care about people'will.
We all are human separated with Religion and Nationality .... India and Pakistan should be together as one country again ....... religions could not rule our mankind ...... India nationalism concept is not based on Hindu religion or language ... when you look at the countries all over the world their nationalism is based on religion or language but in India its based on 'Unity in diversity' Its the heart of Indian democracy .....we Pakistan India Bangladesh should unite for our peoples wellness and show the world the humanity Without border.
The blame goes on Nehru and Jinnah as both vied for power and many innocents lost their lives,the masses were blinded by so much propaganda that they failed to look at their past of harmony and brotherhood,saare jahan se achha Hindustan hamara became a distant dream
are you kidding me ? partition was a blessing in disguise
Ashley 11101990 in kashmir it's Indian army killing the people...there is no nehru Jinnah in Kashmir...Pakistanis and Indians were and are different people..partition was destined...
It was Jinnah who demanded a separate Islamic country. No need to blame Nehru for it. It would be like blaming leaders of Russia, Thailand, Philippines, China etc for the islamic terrorists fighting for an islamic country in their respective countries.
Ashley 11101990 we love our Jinnah
Look guys the enmity between us only is seen when we are exposed to propaganda,but if a pakistani and a indian meet up abroad they dont greet each other with abuses amd hatred,the point is that democracy as a concept was not understood clearly in the 1940s as due to democracy Germans created Hitler,similarly the fear of beong dominated by Hindus awakened in the muslim masses after the rally in Bengal in early 1900s where the bengali Hindus used the picture of Kaali Mata in the protests that ignited the fear even further as they misunderstood ethnic nationalism coupled with religious fanaticism,many Pakistanis think today that minorities dont live peacefully in a Hindu India and the same is for us Indians who think the same for Minorities in Pakistan,the common man in these countires wants peace not war,but to be factually correct the Pakistani army(not the regular soldier) is responsoble for creating the mess of terrorism as they should have dissolved these groups after the afghan war but did not take the initiative and now see where it has led to,many innocent lives lost,its not about being muslim,hindu,christian,sikh,etc. Nationality cant be defined by religion,culture and language is the basis for nationhood,thats why Bangladesh became free,i am a christian by faith but does that make me white? No,my ancestors were hindus from this subcontinent,similarly Muslims in the subcontinent are not Arabs the Pakistanis need to accept that as they are ethnic Baloch,Sindhis,Punjabis,Sairakis,Hindko,etc who were once Hindus,Buddhists and Zoroastrians ,also Muslim umma ka theka mat leke rakho the Arabs themselves despise Pakistanis,look at how they treat you guys in their lands,we are one people who were not united and other took advantage of it and divided us.
Come on Al Jazeera, this is a pretty well-made doc, are you seriously make me watch a commercial every 2 minutes?
We should have been one!
No thanks. We are happy living Pakistan.
We should have better relations only.
Adhitya VJ Iyer no . We Pakistani Christians love beef. We don’t want to get killed for eating beef
By seeing the below comments of both country men closely even today any sensible person can understand why the separation was so much necessary at that time.
The seeds of hatred were sown because of the partition. Get your act together.
Muhammad Shahzad everyone will learn to adapt when there are no borders lol like Europe free movement
Around 40,000 rapes are reported annually in India
Rape victims are punished by court in Pakistan
Danish Malik
Next Joke Plzz 😒😒
Danish Malik reported being the important word, in Pakistan hundreds of young boys are raped everyday and are unreported.
Blue Tiger Yes, village ‘elders’ have tried and sentenced victims to death under the sharia. In recent years the government has tried and sentenced the ‘elders’ and participants to prison. I’m not saying that horrific things don’t happen. I’m not saying that a blind-eye isn’t turned to atrocities but these countries are trying to change and resent human rights.
Danish Malik 4000000 donkeys are raped in Pakistan every day
Jinna was never a Muslim he just had a muslim name. As per my understanding he was a Agakhani .
Love 💓INDIA
Love Pakistan. Pakistan Zindabad. Allahu Akbar.
xtremeownage2 love India Allahu Akbar
Why don't Aljazera make a documentary on 1971 war between India and Pakistan, and also the holocaust in Bangladesh
I love India
Hindustan zindabad
It was very nice to view borders of blood on aljazeera tv. The telefilm documentary however mentions very little about kashmir which is basis of dispute between two nuclear powers pakistan and india. The kashmir has its unique history having its own kings before comming of birtish empire to india when india was ruled by muslim empire the last of which was mugal king bahadur shah zaffar at kashmir the muslim king was zain ul abideen or famous budshah the last muslim king at kashmir. The overtake of muslim empire over india the fort of mughal empire famous red fort of capital city delhi.the birtish empire did not ruled kashmir directly but by way of treaty of amritsar and gave power to Sikhs known as Sikh empire of which the documentary borders of blood mentions as Maharaja simply meaning king in Hindi language. The birtish empire ruled kashmir through these Sikh kings by way of treaty of amritsar till 1947 after second world war a global political change emerged and finally birtish empire passed government of India independence act 1947 by which two nations were created by way of partition. The kashmir was given a free choice either to accede to india or pakistan. Father of nation of Pakistan MR Ali Mohammad jinnah visited kashmir of which the pakistani kabbilis or gurellas have taken control upto five kilometres of srinagar city in 1947 the political leadership of kashmir was headed by sheikh Mohammad Abdullah who made reading room party the Penrith Jawaharlal Nehru also visited kashmir in 1947 to get political support from kashmir leadership Maharaja Gandhi also visited kashmir to persuade kashmiri political leadership to accede to delhi in short kashmir is not part of india historically being having its own history culture ethics norms in form of thousand years history which no one can deny. The kashmiri political leadership under leadership of sheikh Abdullah founded muslim conference however at the eleventh hour changed it into national conference and entered into political agreement with new delhi which was incorporated into constiution of india as article 370 and article 35A and constiution of jammu and kashmir was framed for which three consecutive chief ministers of Abdullah family had ruled since last 75 years however on 5th of august 2019 parliament of india ended the accession agreement unilaterally and abrogated article 370 and article 35A and uprooted the constiution of jammu and kashmir. Pakistan finds its support from muslim conference since 1947 and various pro pakistani political parties also emerged in last 75 years openly supporting pakistan. However after 5th of august 2019 a political unrest is found at kashmir as india under might is right rule safeguarded its interests which were under article 370 viz communications defence and external or foreign affairs by way of biometricaly prisoning whole population at kashmir as well as communication blockades of which united states of AMERICA congressmen also showed deep concerns when from august 2019 till January 2020 whole communication mobile phones internet was blocked by india. UNITED states of AMERICA stresses about global military order of 1947 by which indian armies have moved inside kashmir and UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION number 47 of which india is a signatory accepting kashmir as dispute before international community dating back 1947 however on 5th of august 2019 even UNITED NATIONS was astonished how it is union terrority when there is resolution 47 global military order of 1947 by which UN military observatory group is present at kashmir. However in early February 2020 when UNITED STATES president visited india he mentioned kashmir issue indicating clearly that Trump administration is fully aware of kashmir history. Hope aljazeera will make a full documentary on Kashmir as people at kashmir are SAYING it's not union terriority as claimed by india after 5th of August 2019 rhetorically and practically but UN terriority UNITED NATIONS terriority.
Interesting and well written post
India is the best 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
