India / Pakistan Partition 1947 23:09 - Aug 15 with 10105 viewsGloryHunter

I keep hearing people on TV and radio, who were there before partition, saying that the Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims all used to live happily together with no problems. So how come they started murdering each other? Any Rs with family history who can explain why it all kicked off?

There is still some tension even in the Motherland all these years later..



Sikh Youth ???? I doubt he gets asked for ID in a bar. I doubt he pays half price on a bus either.

Couldn't Britain have just passed on all its fabulous ideas to India without all the occupying and exploitation? Sent them by post maybe.

That's because you're thinking three-dimensionally.

L sub T equals L sub zero E to the minus T over 2 N.

Following on from the decent discussion on this thread about Britains Colonial past, I see the Guardian (ala Charlottesville) has advocated removing Nelsons Column as Nelson was a 'White supremacist' and passionate pro slaver.

I genuinely think the world has gone a little bit bonkers.

I saw that. It's an opinion piece, not editorial.

I've made it and made it well. Do you you lack the aptitude to digest an opposing view without going into meltdown?

That's a rhetorical question, by the way.


I've given up asking rhetorical questions. What's the point?!

I sometimes think the editorial team at the Guardian wake up and think to themselves "Hmmm, how can we live up to our reputation as po-faced lefties? Let's just shove in some self-parody on the op-ed pages." I suppose Jeremy Corbyn is pretty popular these days, so they have to go that extra mile if they want Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells to splutter over their corn flakes.

It's also noticeable how the Graun is dominated by American news these days, I suppose it's all part of their global marketing strategy, so if everyone in America has to get in to a tearing rage about statues it necessarily follows that you have to find some sort of British equivalent.
