India’s Partition: The Forgotten Story
In this documentary, British film-maker Gurinder Chadha, director of Bend It Like Beckham and Viceroy’s House, travels from Southall to Delhi to find out about the Partition of India – one of the most seismic events of the 20th century. Partition saw India divided into two new nations – independent India and Pakistan. The split led to violence, disruption and death.
To find out why and how it happened, Gurinder crosses India, meeting people whose lives were torn apart by Partition and talking to historians who explain the motivations behind the split. Along the way, she discovers that Partition was caused by politicians who were more interested in their own power than in Indian unity, and finds out that the British also played a major role in the Partition.
Gurinder,
Great Job of Telling the Forgotten Story ,but most importantly informing of Winston Churchill’s Conspiracy to Partition India . Winston Churchill was responsible for 2-3 million killed in Bengal Famine. In 1947,he conspired with Jinnah-Resulting in 800000 Killed in Punjab out of 1 million Killed overall in 1947 Partition. over 10 million people were displaced leaving behind everything.
Why Couldn’t these people not follow Bacha Khan and arranged slow-peaceful way of Migration like happened in Bannu and other places? Even people from Bannu met with killings on their way in Gujerat and other parts of Punjab.
