India & Pakistan - A continuing Story

My sincere apologies for keeping you waiting for a month with this video. It was supposed to only be 12 minutes long, but I got lost in the research and the scope and size of this topic, so I ended up making an almost one-hour long video. And still... I think this video doesn't contain enough information.
The Topic is India and Pakistan, their conflicts for independence and the historical background of such. As well as the conflicts that resulted out of independence. An overview of the Indian republic and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. As well as a brief intermission on Bangladesh and the geopolitics surrounding Sri Lanka. I hope you enjoyed the video. Don't forget to support the channel. And as said in the video, here is a bibliography:

@@shubhamdhaker2752 Even then, Kraut does leave out a lot of the fuckups that India committed during its emergence. Invading Hyderabad, Madras, and the other princely states that had voted for independence was a bit of a dick move. And then the invasion of Portuguese Goa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli was a pretty large violation as they were considered part of Metropolitan Portugal and equivalent to a city like Hong Kong or Macau. India is a pretty imperialistic state that is always trying to expand and make new connections to increase its power, but pretty much the only justifiable annexation they've done is Sikkim, because they requested it.

[@user-dn2dc9px4y]

Indians have a strong ability to hypnotize themselves. Almost all the Bhutanese, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Kashmiris, Sikkim and Southern Tibetans I met online regard India as their biggest threat. Only Indians believe that they are their savior and protector, saving their neighbors from China's claws. For example, in Indian textbooks, Sikkim volunteered to join India. But this is not true. India sent 5000 soldiers to overthrow Sikkim kingdom. Meanwhile, Indians have a strong dream of superpower. Most of the reports about China's power come from abroad, while India is the opposite. And this is reflected in many of India's foreign strategies. In short, India is like a shrinking America. Indians believe that too. Although it does not have the strength of the United States. I do hope China and India keep peace. But if India still has ambitions for Tibet, it will be clearly impossible.

[@KyleMiddleton7]

I winced at the imagery, but it's not wrong.

[@user-dn2dc9px4y]

In addition, correct another author's prejudice against China. Not China invaded Kashmir, but India invaded Tibet first. Here is the timeline: In 1953, the Indian army expanded northward, acquiring about 90,000 square kilometers of territory south of the McMahon Line, and even crossing the "Mai Line" in some places. In the middle and west sections, India also occupies part of the disputed territories of India and China. In August 1958, a clash between China and the Indian patrol resulted in the killing of an Indian soldier, and China controlled the original Indian military position. On September 8, Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council explained the operation, stating that the purpose of the operation was to prevent remaining Tibetan insurgents from entering and leaving the border. In 1961, the Indian Army established 43 strongholds across the actual line of control between the two sides. From June 1962, Indian Prime Minister Nehru issued a policy of advancement. The Indian army crossed the "McMahon Line" and entered the Dongdong region of Shannan, Tibet, claiming that China should not occupy Tibet. China claims that the Indian army fired on the Chinese border guards, killing and injuring dozens of Chinese soldiers. By the end of August, the Indian Army had established more than 100 military posts in China. Some posts are opposite the Chinese posts, some wedged between the Chinese posts, and some are inserted behind the Chinese border posts. On September 22, 1962, China's "People's Daily" published an editorial entitled "Tolerable, Unbearable", warning the Indian government of Nehru to withdraw troops immediately from the border, or China would use force.

The story of Tamil's struggle in Sri Lanka is much more deeper and has the same connotations as that of the Bengalis in east Pakistan. Tamils were subjected to the bullying of an Ethno-linguistic majoritarian Sinhalese Buddhist government in Sri Lanka. Denied of education, job opportunities, the Tamils were forced to protest for sovereignty. The peaceful protests were put down with military force and Tamils had to take up arms. India supported the armed movements and back stabbed the movements by intervening militarily in the pretext of peace mission and then siding with the Sinhalese government. This led to the unfortunate event of Ex Indian PM being assassinated in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. The civil war ended with the brutal destruction of Tamil areas and the genocide that resulted in hundreds of thousands of Tamil people killed in the last few days of the war in 2009. Even today, SL maintains huge military presence in the North and East of the country and Tamils are kept under martial law. North and east of Srilanka along with Tamil Nadu are the historic home lands of Tamil People.

Much of Pakistan's present problems like diplomatic isolation and a failing economy can be blamed on the military's failed policies. The atrocities committed by it either directly or indirectly in Bangladesh and Afghanistan are dark chapters in Pakistan's history. Sadly even today, most Pakistanis see its military as a savior and a force for the good. The military has maintained this image by quashing the freedom of expression in the country, as well as controlling the political stage.

This treaty gave 80% of the water of Indus system garunteed to Pakistan, meaning India can maximum use only 20% of water. And to ensure it is monitored properly, World Bank stood as the neutral third party garunteeing it works. This was a very very unpopular deal among Indian Public. As, it felt almost as if Indian government is sold out, and is unnecessarily making a very bad deal. Anyways, this deal has stood the test of time. Even during the wars with Pakistan, there were regular meetings of the water treaty officials from both sides to ensure and check it. Even after this, Pakistan was opposing any construction of infrastructure on Indian side of the river for its 20% use, thus to not annoy Pakistan, India did not build many dams and hydro electric projects. India's usage of water was way below at around 3%. Now, the change is that, India finally decided to make use of its share of the water and thus building dams and hydro projects to utilize the excess water. *2. "Bangladesh India relation"* It was India who helped Bangladesh gain independence and get back on its feet. Indian armed forces were the ones who fought against pakistan army, and also it was India which went on a campaignn around the world to popularize Bangladeshi Genocide by Pakistan. After the war was over, the biggest problem Bangladesh faced was that nearly all of its capable educated people were killed by Pakistan Army as they left. This was their last operation. They knew they had lost the war, so they wanted to cripple the new nation. So, a final effort was made to kill as many intellectuals as possible, to eliminate the future leaders of the new nation of Bangladesh. So, after independence, It was Indian administrative service that went to Bangladesh and re-established the entire country's administrative systems. Now, the reason India has build the largest border in the world is NOT due to distrust, but to reduce problems. The only problem that really existed between both countries is the 30million+ illegal immigrants that came to India due to poor conditions in Bangladesh. This caused lot of conflict between local Indians who found it annoying to have so many foreigners of different culture migrating to their place, taking over their jobs at one fourth the price, and causing criminal problems like looting. This caused huge hatred for Bangladesh to form in Indian public. But, the relationships between both goverments were actually friendly and cordial! The border helped drastically reduce the illegal migration. Another thing to consider is that, India-Bangladesh border was the WORST border in the world till 2015. Just search on youtube itself about this border and you will know why. That problem was solved in 2015 in a historic agreement that actually gave thousands of acres of Indian land to Bangladesh! If India wanted, it could have easily force solved this issue in 1971 itself and bangladesh would not even have cared, but it didn't. *3. Bangladesh is poor* And, stop calling bangladesh as a poor country anymore. They are now the fastest growing country in the world, outpacing India itself! They overtook Pakistan few decades ago, despite having to start from scratch and not having any natural resouces. They even have to import rocks for construction as they don't have it in their country!! So, my thinking is that you read outdated books. The reason for the bangladesh's success is One - Highly hardworking people. Everyone I mett from there wass super hard working, even the illigal migrants who did 3x more work at same time as others. Two - Not having to spend on a military. Due to friendly relation with India, they could focus on building the country, rather than military toys. Three - Great support from India to develop Bangladesh industries, particularly textile industry. Bangladesh is today the textile capital of the world. This is an industry that requires a large amount of human workers, and thus can employ millions. However, Bangladesh do not have the resources to make the raw materials required for making textiles, including cotton and colouring material. Importing it from foreign countries would be so expensive that it would render the entire industry unviable. India saw this as an opportunity to help Bangladesh grow economically and also solve the migrant crisis. India provided these raw materials at subsidized costs and helped Bangladesh in establishing and growing its textile industry even at the cost of undermining India's own textile industry as this would mean Bangladeshi textile will be cheaper than Indian ones due to low labour charges there. This even caused many Indian textile companies to shift their production to bangladesh. And funnily, over 40% of Pakistan's textile industry got shifted to Bangladesh as admitted by their minister himself. Last year Bangladesh crossed India's GDP per capita! And is about 2 times that of Pakistan's.

Kashmir, on the other hand was a hub of Buddhist and Brahmanic kingdoms and a center of Sanskrit literature for over 4000 years. It was a part of the subcontinent and, by extension, the nation .for as far as we can go back in history. It was not until Sikander, an islamic invader, came and laid waste to the region, systematically purging and forcefully converting the local population that it became a muslim majority area. If there is any nation that has a "birthright" to Kashmir, It is India,owing to its history and the integral part the Indic civilization has played in the shaping of Kashmir.

[@fourhorsemenmechanix757]

@@hououinkyoma1662 Settle down lol. First, India is literally just as old as Pakistan. It's just that it's NAME is older. Historically there was NEVER a country called "India" prior to the British invasion of the subcontinent. It was just a geographical term like Europe, Middle East, etc. It was a collection of many different nations which often had little to nothing in common and constantly had wars and engaged in pillaging, mass rape, etc. After the British invaded and created "British India/British Raj",they stripped the natives of their nationalities and shoved them into the bucket term of "Indian". Prior to this the people of this region were still labeled as Indian of course. Just as someone from the UK or France would be refered to as "European". However this was the first time this term was used to describe nationality. The British Raj lasted about 80 years only. Meaning that the artificial concept of "India the nation" was literally less than 100 years old. And please stop with the bs. The rules of partition were that Muslim majority regions of India would go to Pakistan and the Hindu majority areas would go to India. The greater Kashmir region was Muslim majority and thus should have gone to Pakistan. The only reason it didn't is because the princely ruler was a Hindu tyrant by the name of Hari Singh. Now you know the saying, if you tell a lie often enough soon people will begin to see it as the truth. That's exactly what happened to this story. The narrative that India has been peddling for decades which now many naive people of the world are starting to believe is that Hari Singh wanted to remain neutral and Pakistan invaded Kashmir out of no where. Thus he gave the order of accesion to India and therefore Kashmir belongs to India. That is WRONG. Hari Singh did NOT want to remain neutral. As I said before, the greater Kashmir region was Muslim majority with a Hindu leader. And majority of the people in the Muslim state wanted to become part of Pakistan. He didn't want this. So you know what this jackass did? He decided to go on a mission to ethically cleanse the region of Muslims and turn it into a Hindu majority region so he could join India. And to some extent he succeeded. He, with the help of the RSS, killed around 200,000 Muslims in the Jammu region and displaced many more people. Thus turning the once Muslim majority region of Jammu into Hindu majority. Pakistan was against this and repeatedly asked the Indian government to keep.him from doing this as the Indian gov had influence over Hari Singh. But the Indian government stood by and let the ethnic cleansing continue as this helped their agenda. Gandhi was one of the few people to speak out against this. And shortly after he was assasinated by a man who had ties to the RSS. Interesting fact: India's current PM is a life long member of the RSS and the rulling BJP is the political wing of the RSS. But back to the main topic. After Hari Singh and the RSS were not stopped by the Indian governent Pakistan, in order to prevent further ethnic cleansing and demographic change, invaded Kashmir with the help of Pashtun tribesman. THEN Hari Singh gave the order of assesion and the rest is history. Now, Indians and their supporters often use the argument that since Hari was the leader and didn't want to become part of Pakistan therefore Kashmir belongs to India. Well it just so happens that an example exists in history which is the opposite of this. And that is of the princely state of Hydrabad. Hyderabad had a Muslim ruler and had a Hindu majoruty population. The ruler wanted to remain independent, but did show some signs of wanting to join Pakistan. India then militarily annexed Hyderabad in 1948. The fight only lasted 5 days before Hydrabad's forces lost. However, after the fighr had ended India decided it would be ok to engage in mass killings against the Muslims. According to India's own estimates, 20,000-40,000 Muslims were killed. However, according to estimates from neutral observers the number could be as high as 200,000 people. This is well after the partition riots btw. And stop using this tired old argument of ancient Muslim invaders actions to justify what's happening in Kashmir today. But even if you're going to use this silly argument, here are a few points you should consider. 1) Indian Hindus like to exaggerate the negative affects of the Muslim rulers and often say that the reason why many people in the Sub continent are Muslim is because of forced conversions and killings. While there were some forced conversions and killings, another EVEN BIGGER reason for this is because of lower caste Hindus (like my ancestors from 4 generations ago on my mom's side) converting to Islam to escape the BRUTAL and RASCIST Hindu caste system. This is a factor that many like to ignore. Now back to Kashmir, I hope you know that majority of the Muslims living their are natives to that land. They are NOT invaders. There ancestors CONVERTED to Islam. So they should have a say in what nation they want to join. And in any case, India has no right to blind innocent childeren with pellet guns, do mass rapes, mass killings, etc. 2) As I pointed out before, prior to the British Raj invading the subcontinent, there was no nation called India. It was a collection of many nations. So keeping that in mind, I'd encourage you to go out and do some research on the oppression Buddhists had to face because of invading Hindu nations from other parts of India. Discrimination, rape, mass killings, etc. So Hindus were not exactly peaceful either.

[@user-dn2dc9px4y]

That video is still a little biased. This video will be a benefit addition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXrUZ3iHppqSgdk Another misunderstanding is that, like in India, China voluntarily withdrewn from Vietnam. After that, Vietnam attacked again, occupying many border territories. But after a decade of border conflict, most of them were once again taken by China. The main reason why Vietnam can defeat USA was also aid from Soviet Union...and China. In Vietnam's military museums, many equipments still have chinese words written on them. Chinese officers even commanded several important battles. Due to the Korean War, US and China negotiated before the Vietnam War. China agreed not to send troops, but US barred from entering a line delineated. The Vietnam Army replenished and cultivated behind this line, fighting in front of this line, the US army could not completely destroy them, and eventually withdrew due to huge consumption. ======================= In addition, correct another author's prejudice against China. Not China invaded Kashmir, but India invaded Tibet first. Here is the timeline: In 1953, the Indian army expanded northward, acquiring about 90,000 square kilometers of territory south of the McMahon Line, and even crossing the "Mai Line" in some places. In the middle and west sections, India also occupies part of the disputed territories of India and China. In August 1958, a clash between China and the Indian patrol resulted in the killing of an Indian soldier, and China controlled the original Indian military position. On September 8, Premier Zhou Enlai of the State Council explained the operation, stating that the purpose of the operation was to prevent remaining Tibetan insurgents from entering and leaving the border. In 1961, the Indian Army established 43 strongholds across the actual line of control between the two sides. From June 1962, Indian Prime Minister Nehru issued a policy of advancement. The Indian army crossed the "McMahon Line" and entered the Dongdong region of Shannan, Tibet, claiming that China should not occupy Tibet. China claims that the Indian army fired on the Chinese border guards, killing and injuring dozens of Chinese soldiers. By the end of August, the Indian Army had established more than 100 military posts in China. Some posts are opposite the Chinese posts, some wedged between the Chinese posts, and some are inserted behind the Chinese border posts. On September 22, 1962, China's "People's Daily" published an editorial entitled "Tolerable, Unbearable", warning the Indian government of Nehru to withdraw troops immediately from the border, or China would use force.

[@anderskorsback4104]

When it comes to internal integration, there is also the legacy of colonialism at work. Britain (like most colonial powers) had no interest in internal integration of their colonies, since its whole industrial economy was built around importing cheap raw materials from the colonies and exporting manufactured goods to them. Thus, what infrastructure development did take place in the colonies was mostly about connecting the inland to the coast for trade with the colonial overlord, rather than connecting different regions of the same colony to each other.

21:45 I just want to note the reason why the King ceded Kashmir, as I feel like it is important to know. Originally, he wanted to keep Kashmir neutral and make it an independent nation. Pakistan launched a military invasion to prevent this, as they felt it was rightfully theirs by the Muslim majority population. After this happened, he requested help from India and offered to cede Kashmir in return. India accepted, and gained a legal claim over the land. This conflict has many factors, but one of the leading parts is the divide on the population claim or legal.
