Tiger 3 and earlier: A short history of the portrayal of Pakistan in Bollywood

Until the 1990s, Pakistan was hardly ever specifically mentioned in Hindi films. This has since changed — and depictions have ranged from conditional sympathy to unalloyed hostility. Politics and Pak-sponsored terrorism have played a role in determining Bollywood's narratives.

'Bare life' and Partition | The Daily Star

“Can one break a country...Will the earth bleed?” asks eight-year-old Lenny in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Cracking India (1988)–a tale about Partition. “No one’s going to break India. It’s not made of glass!”

'The danger in telling a single Partition story is that it completely erases the individual'

There were also non-Muslims in East Bengal who had to stay back—many didn’t want to leave their ancestral place. Many didn't have the material support to migrate with their family. Partition literature hardly talks about them.

Partition of India: facts, hearsay, literature and films

“Every time the train stopped at a station, we would all hold our breath, making sure not a single sound drifted out of the closed windows. We were hungry and our throats parched.

Earth movie review & film summary (1999)

England, having colonized India at its leisure, granted it independence with unseemly haste. Even its most outspoken nationalists were taken aback when Lord Mountbatten, the British viceroy, unexpectedly announced that the date for independence was a few months, not a few years, in the future. The British decision to pull out by Aug. 15, 1947, left a country with no orderly way to deal with the rivalries between Hindus and Muslims, and the partition of India and Pakistan along religious lines led to bloodshed, massacres and, as this film calls it, "the largest and most terrible exchange of population in history." "Earth" is a film that sees that tragedy through the eyes of a group of friends in Lahore, then in India, now in Pakistan. There are Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Parsees, even a Christian or two. They have lived side-by-side since time immemorial, and the more idealistic think that situation can continue. But as India has proven, along with Northern Ireland, the Middle East and Yugoslavia, many members of all faiths consider it no sin to murder a non-believer.
