Pakistan -> Muslim Indians
Found the Indian.
Nah bro but they both got great food and Im a programmer so I basically am
Same story for Africa and the Middle East
? They actually spent a lot of time looking over census data to see where the majorities were. That's why some of the lines are so weird.
You're misunderstanding the issue. The British tried to fix certain issues that really didn't need fixing. To their credit they did abolish a few insane practices, but the partition was never gonna be a good thing.
I'm not a historian. I'm just recounting stuff I've been taught.
From what I know, when Britain left India they really did need to partition it. I've never heard anyone say wanted India and Pakistan to be one.
So you've never talked to Indians or Pakistanis about partition.
Because partition was a mistake and letting a nation being found on the basis of religion was terrible, and you can literally see it with how politically unstable Pakistan has been and how they are housing terrorists like Dawood or funding them.
disagree. see Radcliffe Line and its implementation.
spending five weeks to decide fate of 80 million people without even visiting the place in person isn't spending "a lot of time."
It's been seventy years now. How long do you think dead Britons will have more responsibility for and power over India and Pakistan than the people in those countries?
I dont think that applies only to racist people
When you don't know that they are ethnically the same people....
