What happened to the women? | My Family, Partition and Me: India 1947 - BBC One

My daadi had five brothers. Three came dead in the train from. Pakistan. The brother who’d gone to receive them went mad and remained out of his senses for as long as he lived. The other brother was also badly affected by the incident.
The British have never apologised for the Partition.

He is mad or hiding something

During Partition all Muslims should go to Pakistan India will in top of the world

There were only the reasons of partition, loot of properties land & females , eliminate hindus and sikhs, killing rape conversion... Which all been thought in islam.... The curse on India from 1000 years.....

An area of darkness 🤦‍♂

For all those sick British who don't really understand how this was inflamed incessantly to the point of no return:

1. British administration deliberately hired people from a different community and different region in a certain province.
For example, in Bombay province, they hired Punjabis and Pashtuns even though they had no local roots.
Random, illiterate, foolish and ignorant people were rewarded the most with these kinds of posts and medals.

2. Even within the same province, laws were enacted on the basis of British interests and all those who opposed were controlled by sending the other, antigonous community.
The best example in this case is Punjab, being the most diverse province:
- In a Hindu village/suburb, send Muslims
- In a Muslim village, send Sikhs
- In a Sikh village, send Muslim Pashtuns
- In a Pashtun village, send Gorkha or Garhwali Rajputs.

3. Jinnah/Muslim League was propped up during the 1940s as a tool to sabotage the Congress's freedom movement. The Direct Action Day in 1946, instigated by Jinnah was done under command of British authorities and the governor of Bengal, Suhrawardy.

Ultimately this had to explode at a pan-Indian communal level, and why not?

Didn't Britain do the exact same thing in Ireland, between Catholics and Protestants?

He is lying , you can see it in his eyes

British did that made me cry 😢

Gandhi Nehru Jenna were responsible for massacre of 1.5 million people a Gandhi never do fast not to make partition of India he fast for popularity only gain fame that's why he become father of India and shubhas Chandra boss disappear 200000 lakh killed Hanged freedom fighters nowhere no recognize them.who is responsible who will answer but one day Congress will answer and face the consequences let's see Judiciary will hang them or people of India or voters of India will kick them out from the mainstream of Indian politics.

Is Pakistan become terrorist state no food no food no electricity no money Pakistani people become baggager never cure sucessfull. Congress were responsible.

in India muslims involve most of the crime rape decade riots fake currency involve in every kind of crime. Cow killing Killing of non Muslims love jihad etc.

Hello respected madam,
My elder said that they burnt down the young daughter or poisoning them, if they feel that muslim came for theft ,and burglar thier with arms and they will not spare Hindu community young ladies, it's really true.

I would like to share the story of partition of our family, my grandfather and grandmother with their family came to India from lahore, unfortunately I could not meet them, but I always wanted to know where we came from and where they used to live. My grandparents used to live in laxmi chowk, lahore I wish I could see our grandparents home once in my life.

J.L.Nehru and Mohd.Ali Jinnah,both were equally responsible for the Division of India and Pakistan for their hidden goal.

Its not that difficult to understand at all. Keep a nation deprived of life essentials, basic rights and education and loot them at every opportunity, there you go you have a whole cutthroat nation at your disposal that wants blood now. Either you are stupid or you are acting stupid to not know this.

Be grateful you went to good schools and learned these big bookish words and ideas that you spew. Imagine how many Indians died during WWII when UK was looting India and dumping Indian men and resources in its own fire. BBC should report on that and cast a woman crying like that for her son who never returned fighting for the colonials fascist Brits.

What a drama queen, do you have Oscars for this?

Now back to your AC room fixing your mascara and lipstick. Its done and gone so stop this drama in the name of humanity, its sickening and disgusting and it reminds people why we must hate each other. This is the price of this media sensationalism and cheap emotional chicanery. You don't realize or maybe you don't give a fk what it does to a common man who is still vulnerable to such violence and lives in a state of paranoia everyday. You get views and "humanity credit score" for your stupidly dividing and dangerous corporate propaganda.

Incredible Emotional stories of Partision India, Pakistan

It's true 1947 partion time tomuch respect ful women jump the wheel hole and do sucide safe respect..thousands stories same like this.but today pakistan India new generation forgot partition migrated difficult life ...today pakistan India new generation enjoy freedom life.plz read partition story.

I am deeply sad after watching this story. I can feel the pain she must be going through. It is difficult leave your home your place and run just for your life. I can clearly recall my grandfather's tears every time when he talks about how his family had to leave their luxurious house in Punjab and came here in Indore, just because his brother is to leave here and just please was far from the borders to Muslims can live here peacefully. I asked him once why didn't you choose Pakistan as an option to which replied with all his strength, "wo mera mulq nahi hai, main wahan kyun jaata, mere baap dada is mitti ke khatir mare, main kyun kahin jaane lagta". Today when I see the nation getting polarised on communal lines I feel really pathetic and equally vulnerable. Where are we heading to? Again few politicians are dumping us to the same old flame of religion. This all is horrific

Hum logo k dimag me bhr diya gya h ki angrezo ne partition kraya. pr kya kisiko ye pta h ki pehli aawaz ALL INDIA MUSLIM LEAGUE se bulnd hue thi no one knows right?

This is because of British redclif

The cruelty to humanity happened on both sides so you can't blame individuals remember most killings and rapes were happened by the people who had weapons like kirpan and Swords everyone knows who they were

What about sikhs in Eastern punjab who killed multiple Muslim families. This woman only step grandmother. But I know thousands of Muslim senior personalities in Pakistan Punjab who were traveling to western side (Pakistan Punjab) were lotted badly, their women's were kidnapped. In numbers Muslims faced more cruelty and loss compare to hindu and sikhs. BITTER REALITY. BBC should admit this. Such a crocodile tears.

That old man is lying!

Es sikhni nu siraf apne chand sikh he yaad aa. East punjab ch shaheed keetay gaye 20 lakh begunah musalman nazar nai aaye saali nu.. otton english anparh banday naal bol ke kee vikhana chandi ke english bolna koi bohut wadha kamal ty anokha kamm aa?

English bol ke laazmi dasna c ke tenu english aandi aa. Punjabi bol nai saldi c

Oh East punjab ch musalman larkiyan ny mariyan c khoo ch chhala sikh ty hindu west punjab chon aman o aman naal uth ke gaye

Religion of peace 🔥lulla ho uber

all credit goes to the britishers

Religions are evil, they make people kill each other with none having any remorse for what they've done

Not only sikh womens suffer thousands of muslim women's arw killed during partition and thousands of Muslim womens are kidnapped.. And nowadays thousands of muslim womens share their voice on social media and many muslim women show their stories after 50 years on social media

The people who say terrorist and rapist don't have religion, open your eyes and see. The latest example is afganistan sikh and hindu,, pakistan sikh and hindu and Bangladeshi hindu

5 Lakh Muslims were killed
By Sikh and Hindu extremists

God bless my sikhs brothers and sisters they are very brave and kind hearted...

More Muslims were killed btw

They old man is lying.... He knows everything 😭😭

We also bear these types of troubles in eastern punjab Hoshiarpur as muslim

The answer to your brutal recount lies in one thing, one thing alone--that brutal divide by Allah and God one has Halaal and other Harram. People just don't understand there is one Truth, one Humanity, One Love and One Family. You are trying to trace the footprints of birds that flew, you will never be able to find. This is the most painful path of past, it eviscerates as soon as the walk is over.

I am crying---My father belonged to Rawalpindi------heart touching words" Pyar Deo Mainu"-- Of Course ,The partition wounds can be healed with Love Only.

I just dont understand how the most loving and secular punjab at that time got into hindu muslim n started hatred
