In this interview about Dr. Madan Handa’s journey of life, he mentions one of the incidents, the 1947 partition of India, especially Panjab. He was very upset by the massacre which took place. Across the Indian subcontinent, communities that had coexisted for almost a millennium attacked each other in a terrifying outbreak of sectarian violence, with Hindus and Sikhs on one side and Muslims on the other. A mutual genocide, as unexpected as it was unprecedented. There was one of the greatest migrations in human history, as millions of Muslims trekked to West and East Pakistan (the latter is now known as Bangladesh) while millions of Hindus and Sikhs headed in the opposite direction. Many hundreds of thousands were never able to make it.
This is the irony that there is no monument or remorse shown by any
Governments to these unfortunate 2 million people who died in this
partition of India.
This interview was recorded in 1983 unfortunately, Dr.Handa and Hardev Artist both have left us RIP
