N. N. An exclusive interview in which he expressed the rather surprising thought that there is no racism in the policing or no attempts at racism within the actions of police he says that this is a false narrative that this does occur this despite the to 6 that are provided by a number of independent organizations such as universities and news media which indicate that africanamericans use 2 and a half times more likely to be shocked by a policeman then his white counterparts so certainly the figures would not appear to bear out william bards assumption.

Freed from colonial rule the creation of these 2 countries completes a long struggle for independence. Years ago we began but it didnt. And now the time come and then been shown to be my big. Foot even before the celebrations are over chaos erupts. Panic and fear sets in as neighbor turns on neighbor unleashing mass violence. Millions to leave their homes. 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 and each other raping each others daughters roasting each others babies on the spit. With human passions are 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. Were going to laud a move or have been lucky though when the yardbirds or tower monday will monitor. The 86 year old Joginder Singh called it was a young teenager in india at the time. 70 years on he still remembers how muslims hindus and sikhs turn on each other. Or when they were you know one who would go through. They rated movie. With the word in the out. Of a guy. Like that of the moon. Or when the world was he would want to go to. Going to the local.

Drenched in blood. And stomach open. Then 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 jewel living 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. A return to the truth for a new feeling and a recent opinion in the country and bankrupted itself fighting itself to death of the nazis. And so british Authorities Say that it was the exhaustion of the empire 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 drugs or 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 film struggle could call strikes and protests which would parallel. The country. Seizing the moment of british weakness 3 leaders spearheaded the push for independence. You are allowed me route Mohammad Ali Jinnah and 100 k. Gandhi. At 1st they shared the goal of a free and united india one country one people regardless of religion. Of national the great term to hear that message of gandhi leader of the demands for indias independence. Was mark my god you mobilize 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 for 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 the elite of 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 leaders with new ambitions men like to warlow nehru never was very attracted to my gun the and gun he was very impressed with and he was gun 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. Mr natto presided over the 1st Cabinet Meeting both name rue and gandhi were hindus but the 3rd member of the influential trio was a Muslim Mohamed generally 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 narrow ground the. Ovaries dressed in western clothes had western habits in your discussion and a source of yours in 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 mean 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 no room 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 a 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 revealed deeper insights into the fall out between geno any room and this is one of the repository of which the number. 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 assets propose 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 the and the you know its the leadership of those policies new delhi and although the scene looks quite gina and nehru had 1st come together to fight the british now they were fighting each other disturbances against the Muslim League to reach the end 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 the breakdown at the top of 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 window for muslims the fear of being ruled by hindus convinced them they needed their own separate nation. Even jr the man once hailed as the symbol of hindu muslim unity now demanded an independent pakistan. After a sentry of british power in india the empires was finally forced. Charged with overseeing the withdrawal was a decorated world officer one who would go down in infamy. Now battered. New delhi airfield and the arrival of the viceroy designate mo batten is a sort of vaguely comic character looking back. Prancing peacock who loved his roads and costumes and loved to appear as the viceroy not a particular brilliant man. A man of some christmas. 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 and had his own likes and dislikes inevitably but very quickly decided that the 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 lauder led him on battle have taken their places on the grounds that it became viceroy of india in march 947 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 accelerated even faster partly because he found his control on the control of the british soldiers over india slipping and so here are a tribute to august 15th 947. 00 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 west 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 a well thought i 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 cultural garden when he was told that he had 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 road again in august 1907 as the flags of india and pakistan were raised ordinary citizens were left in the dark as to what this meant for them. On that day of partition in august that show boundary hadnt been unsuccessful the know where they were in india or pakistan where they can 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 on fires like the blitz the the villages are all burning hayricks are on the platforms to literally wash with blood because hello to hindus waiting on the platform to travel to india to be massacred on another platform was covered in 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 and journalists in 94. 00 the 7 who had covered the opening of the nazi concentration camp there were 2 or 3 journalists who had covered that and then they 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 white the photographer writes a graphic description and she says yeah i saw shit 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 historians is that the death toll was at least a 1000000 and the british had lost control long before partition and that became clearly evident and 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 before that Ethnic Violence was spiraling dangerously out of control they say over it over 10000 persons have been killed and many more injured over the last 6 months of the
