Some Pics and Thoghts of Partition.

Pakistan & India are going to celebrate there 61st Independence day.Some time I wonder why we use the word independence when two separate countries came into being 60 years ago.
Ever wonder that Hindu & Muslim lived together in India for about 1000 years yet there is not a single incidence of communal violence that widespread the country.Brits ruled only for about 100 years by there famous principal "Divide & Rule".
Here are some heart touching pictures of the moment when India and Pakistan came into being.

Mountbatten arrives at Delhi airport; received by Nehru and Liaquat Ali. March 25, 1947. These guys become first Prime Ministers after partition.


The dead - Punjab, 1947


TRAIN TO PAKISTAN; India 1947. Trains packed with refugees - Hindus and Sikhs headed for India, and Muslims headed for Pakistan - were convenient targets for gangs of killers on both sides of the border. Inadequately protected 'Refugee Specials' were typically stopped, and the occupants butchered, several times in the course of the journey.

While celebrating we should remember all those who sacrifices their life, honor and belongings during the journey of blood and fire.

We are still under the governments who are using "Divide & Rule".
