President not to go somewhere is often a guarantee that he will go there especially if its a democrat doing the asking what he wanted to do was to come here and to take credit for the Law Enforcement effort as you can see there are a number of Police Vehicles down there at the end of the road right there which tells you that he did leave a city divided whats happened is that a couple of Trump Supporters were here in a crowd of black live matter supporters and they came into conflict and the crowd followed to Trump Supporters all the way down there and im guessing that is the conflict that 7 or 8 police cars in a National Guard armored personnel carrier or 2 are taken care of behind me in case youre wondering whats going on there so the president came to praise Law Enforcement for their efforts he came to condemn the black lives Matter Movement saying it was a terrorist organization and he also going to take credit saying that he had helped talk this state in to calling in the National Guard the fact is that the president can nationalize the federal guard but thats not what happened in this case the governor simply called them in on his own but as trump was here touring some of the damage and visiting a Police Command center. The crowds here clashed a little bit there were some drunk fans and and of course there were the protesters whove been here for many days protesting against the shooting of jacob blake a black man 7 times in the back and he remains nearby in a hospital paralyzed from the waist down voted for donald trump a majority of them in 2016 and then switched in 2018 and voted for a democratic mayor trump probably would not have won the 2016 election without the electoral votes of the state of wisconsin Hillary Clinton famously did not visit wisconsin because she thought she had it in her pocket she didnt trump one well the democrats dont want to make that mistake again so. Biden has gotten involved he has been praising what the black lives Matter Movement has done in terms of the peaceful protests condemning the violence but President Trump would not say the name of jacob lake all day today and he has simply praised Law Enforcement so you can see the battle lines being drawn here for the state of wisconsin and another black man has been killed by police this time in los angeles while he was riding his bike 29 year old john kizzy was shot more than 20 times in the back as he tried to get away from officers the family Attorney Says he was stopped for a bicycle code violation the Sheriffs Department says officers opened fire after they saw a handgun in his back the french president of money one man calls threatening lebanese politicians with sanctions or a block on Financial Aid if reform doesnt happen fast enough there is widespread anger against politicians since last months beirut airport explosion which killed nearly 200 people in.

The celebrations were or was marred by the blood this took place against the backdrop of perfect violence. And. People who a year before we tended to each others wedding parties drink each other raping each others daughters roasting each others babies all speak. With passion unleashed. None of us can can foresee what could happen. While historians recount the horrors of the past for those who lived through them its like yesterday.

Then you see your own mother. Drenched in blood. And stomach open. Then started coming up. How would. How did it all come to this. Many point the finger at indias then colonial masters. When britain ruled india it was the giulini empires crown plundered for its natural resources. But in the devastating aftermath of world war 2 britain had its own problems on the home front. But returned to london with renewed interest in the beginning of the country and bankrupted itself fighting itself to death of the nazis. And so british Authorities Say that it was the exhaustion of them power and the bankruptcy of the mother country that led to the realization that the simply no way the british could keep this enormous empire in chains the moment to come to head back home to a land of rationing drizzle low light and leave the exotic plagues of india behind. After decades of crushing any Movement TowardsIndian Independence postwar britain had not had the will or the might to fold on to its calm. There was massive demonstrations across india and there was. An awareness that the leaders the finns struggle could call strikes and protests which would paralyze the country. Seizing the moment of british weakness 3 leaders spearheaded the push for independence. You are allowed nehru Mohammad Ali Jinnah and 100 gandhi. At 1st they shared the goal of a free and united india one country one people regardless of religion. Thousands of national the great time to hear the message of gandhi leader of the demands for indias independence. Was mark my god you mobilized the masses who gave them the language of things like civil disobedience and nonviolence who spoke of the national the struggle is a struggle for truth he gave it a strong modesty fervor and he completely inspired the masses to rise up behind him or gandhi himself a lifelong preacher of nonviolence and gandhi when tom fairly quickly to establish himself as the spiritual leader of the Indian National congress led freedom struggle. The Indian National congress was a Political Party made up of elite hindu and muslim society. It had been pushing for self rule since the turn of the 20th century. With gandhis mobilization of the masses the party transformed into a populist movement and attracted new readers with new ambitions men like to wallow nehru never was very attracted to my gandhi and gandhi was very impressed with and he was gone these handpicked provision to lead the the sort of Political Party the National Movement gandhi himself never took any political position didnt want one and nearly everything from leading the Indian National congress as one of its youngest ever president s to becoming eventually the 1st Prime Minister of independent india and mr nader presided over the 1st Cabinet Meeting both nehru and gandhi were hindus but the 3rd member of the influential trio was a Muslim Mohammed ali jinnah one of the legion or was an extremely interesting man educated very anglo file in fact culturally far more on your file than the new the nehru of gandhi. Over his dressed in western clothes had were. To inhabit through your discussion and his sorcerers and his ham sandwiches he wasnt particularly strongly Observant Muslim and a man who was hailed. As the ambassador of hindu muslim unity. A lawyer jinnah began his political life within the hindu dominated Indian National congress. Later on he also joined the muslim e a group protecting the Muslim Minority. Both parties were fighting for an independent india which at the time was ginas ultimate goal jinnah in strongly opposed to the idea of a separate muslim nation and indeed he is saying this is british divide and rule they want us to be divided weve got to stand together weve got to fight for our freedom if we dont fight for our freedom to get that we will never be free but he increasingly gets sidelined by a new Younger Generation of leadership among whom particularly there is there is never who is his nemesis handed now who calls for an indian republic is accused by the league of working for domination over the Muslim Minority but are making everyone with britains grip on india weakening nehru and the Indian National congress grew in power. Nehru wanted the new india to have a strong Central Government run by his party. This alarmed general who argued muslim majority regions should govern themselves. It was a losing battle you know realized that given the imbalance in Political Support between the league and the congress the only way the league was ever going to actually come to any significant power was by advocating a separatist plan. Thousands of kilometers away in London Records reveal deeper insights into the fall out between geno any room and this is one of the repository of which there are a number in. At the National Archives private letters jinnah sent to british officials shows a relationship beyond repair at this point is extremely suspicious of the congress and he feels as its proper it would be prepared to seize power by force that the may have been infiltrated the Indian National army. And that he regrets thats the Muslim League hadnt organized in the same way so were talking a serious mistrust of this yet i think this in the Case Complete breakdown in trust between between the 2 policies and that and the you know its the leadership of those policies new delhi and although the scene looks quite general and nehru had 1st come together to fight the british now they were fighting each other the servant is against the Muslim League to reach the danger of life by 946 any hope of a united india had evaporated order with god but i believe the service enmity between muslim and him toward the breakdown at the top of the indian politics was mirrored on the streets as tension spilled over into violence. Chaos erupted in major cities 1st because of a grim audio post by british an indian probe during the worst drought in the history of calcutta. Road vantec in many places higher pitched battles continued between muslims and windows for muslims the fear of being ruled by hindus convinced them they needed their own separate nation. Even jinnah the man once hailed as the symbol of hindu muslim unity now demanded an independent pakistan. After a sentry a british power in india the empires hand was finally forced. Charged with overseeing the withdrawal was a decorated while officer one who would go down in infamy. Now battered. New delhi airfield and the arrival of the by so i designate my baton is a sort of vaguely comic character looking back. Prancing peacock who loved his roads and costumes and love to appear as the viceroy not a particulate matter. A man of some christmas a man of great sort of personal selfworth he was received i think he you know whatever little homework he did was fairly modest and when he got to india i think it was a crash course he started meeting the various leaders had his own likes and dislikes inevitably but very quickly decided that this thing had to be this hot potato had to be dropped as quickly as possible and mr byrd his hands and those of his or those of his masters as his in the english government lord and lady mountbatten have taken their places on the grounds that it became viceroy of india in march 947. 00 britain had originally planned to leave india more than a year later in june 1988. But mountbatten wasnt going to wait that long monbiot misheard to accelerate even faster partly because he found his control on the control of the british soldiers over india slipping and so here turner retreated to aug 15th 147 and with that headlong rush into disaster happened with the british unable and unwilling to prevent some of the horrors that were unfolding before their very eyes horrors unleashed by hastily drawn lines on a map the north was state of punjab was home to hindus sikhs but mostly muslims it was split with one side forming the bulk of pakistan in the northeast of india the state of bengal was cut into the predominantly muslim eastern half made up another part of pakistan separated by nearly 2000 kilometers of indian territory it would eventually become the independent country of bangladesh was it well father was ill thought out. When the british had to draw a line they pulled in the Civil Servant who had never been to india before and was sitting in his cots well garden when he was told that he had to fly next week to india and divide the country into. And no one was pleased with the line he drew inevitably. The stage was set for british rolled again in august 1947 as the flags of india and pakistan were raised ordinary citizens were left in the dark as to what this meant for them. On the actual day of partition in august that show boundary had been announce a b. With a no whether they were in india or pakistan where they could stay where they lived for centuries where theyd have to move and its only after the people tune into their ideas to hear whether they will now be part of pakistan or india everyone. Suddenly people found themselves on the wrong side of a new border muslims in india are hindus and sikhs in pakistan. There had been ethnic fighting between muslims hindus and sikhs before the partition set off an unimaginable massacre out of the horrors of fires like the blitz the the the villages are all burning hayricks are all the platforms are literally washed with blood because hello to hindus waiting on the platform to travel to india to be massacred on another platform was covered with blood because the training just arrived from india full of dead muslims. Total chaos in the rural areas hideous scenes of pregnant women lying with their bellies ripped open babies literally rested on the beds journalists in 9047. 00 who had covered the opening of the nazi concentration camp there were 2 or 3 journalists who had covered that and then ended up covering partition and they said that they saw more gruesome things in the punjab punches side than they ever did in the concentration camps muggle born why the photographer writes a graphic description and she says i saw shreds but what i saw in the punjab was a 1000000 times. At the time the british estimated 200000 died in the violence the consensus today among most. The story is that the death toll was at least a 1000000 and the british had lost control long before the decision and that became clearly evident to me visible in 97 but in a way more terrible than anyone had ever expected. It was a complete and utter mess total mirth. Some suggest that britain was aware of the impending horrors that would come with dividing up the indian subcontinent it was a mess made worse by britain abandoning its colonies so quickly in the stockmen which is which is a telegram from the Foreign Office to its evidence in the National Archives suggests british leaders knew months befor
