The
Partition of British India was the partition of the British Indian Empire that
led to the creation of the sovereign states of the Dominion of Pakistan and
Dominion of India on 15 August 1947 with the division of Punjab.
In the
riots which preceded the partition in the Punjab region, about 2 million
Punjabis were killed in the retributive genocide.
The Time
Magazine of September 1947 gave killing statics around one million Punjabis.
However, it
was the largest genocide after the second world war.
UNHCR
estimates 14 million Muslim Punjabis, Hindu Punjabis, Sikh Punjabis were
displaced during the partition; However, it was the largest mass migration in
human history too.
It was the creation
of Dominion of Pakistan and Dominion of India or it was the Destruction of
Punjab?
It was the
creation of Dominion of Pakistan and Dominion of India or it was the
Elimination of Punjabi Nation?
