Who Divided India and Pakistan?

May 29th, 2011 4 comments

Whether it is Cricket, Politics, Terrorism or anything that brings close the 2 countries, i.e. India and Pakistan, the closeness and the intensity of the relationship shows up clearly. The relationship of hatred, enmity and revenge!

But why? Because, someone called Mahatma Gandhi divided the country in to 2 different geographies, marked by the difference of religion that 2 different groups followed? Are you sure? At least I am not, after reading this.

I came across a small article that talks about ‘India Independence Act’. Here is a small abstract about the act from Britannica:

Britain’s Parliament passed in July 1947 the Indian Independence Act, ordering the demarcation of the dominions of India and Pakistan by midnight of Aug. 14–15, 1947, and dividing within a single month the assets of the world’s largest empire, which had been integrated in countless ways for more than a century. Racing the deadline, two boundary commissions worked desperately to partition…

I never knew about this act, nor do I am still sure about this. Does anyone of you have anything to add to it? Shall we still believe in the stories that we have been hearing from our grandparents? Or, is there something that even they didn’t know!?

It seems Britishers have been way too successful in their strategy of ‘Divide and rule’!

Reference: The above citation has been piked directly from Britannica. As, I didn’t have paid account with the website, I couldn’t pick up the whole content and could pick up the above piece only.

If someone is knows better about this, please do share with us. At least I would like to know more about it.
