The most significant historical event, which I remember is Partition of India. It was both physical partition as well as emotional split for many.
The partition of India in 1947 was the division of British India into two independent dominion states, the Union of India and Dominion of Pakistan. The Union of India is today the Republic of India, and the Dominion of Pakistan is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
The way it was divided by just a parting line on the map, is amazing. I have seen number of films and documentaries portraying the devastating scenes of the partition. Almost 150 million people fled from their homes on one side of the newly demarcated borders to what they thought would be “shelter” on the other.
The film or documentary visuals were so painful to watch, I can’t imagine how the people involved must have sustained that moment. There were communal violences and the millions were massacred.
The pain is never forgotten.
