[@gautamkrishnan1061]

@@1947PartitionArchive .. i would like to research this even more...but was inspired by the Book Freedom at midnight and earlier the serial Tamas to dwell on this

[@1947PartitionArchive]

@@gautamkrishnan1061 Both good works, though Freedom at Midnight is based heavily on interviews with Mr. Mountbatten, and hence carries a particular perspective.

[@gautamkrishnan1061]

Yes..i felt it lacked a subcontinental perspective unlike Tamas

[@sajjadashraf324]

the generation which experienced partition is rapidly vanishing۔ they have emotional attachment with their birthplaces and wish to visit them before they pass away۔ Both countries should facilitate them to fulfil their this wish۔ this could be proved a big step to normalise the relations and bring peace and prosperity in this part of the world۔
