On August 15, 1947, we were liberated from 150 years of British slavery. However, the division of the cherished nation preceded the arrival of freedom. Religious differences led to the partition of India into two parts. The country’s name was Islamabad, not India or Pakistan.
“Partition of the motherland in the name of religion was unthinkable and incomprehensible in our history. In history, there were four major invasions of our country by the Huns, the Kushans, the Sakas, and the Yavanas (Alexander). At times, we faced the need to retreat from the battlefield, while at other times, we made progress. In the end, India won. Some of the invaders went back; some remained here. Those who stayed here assimilated In the 1980s, Khalistani terrorists planted a bomb in the cargo of Air India’s Kanishka aircraft, which was departing from Canada, and subsequently blew it up, killing 329 passengers at a height of 31000 feet in the North Atlantic Ocean.orth Atlantic Ocean.
Who was the king?
King Kanishka was among the Kushan invaders. Even though he was an invader, he felt a deep connection to this land and its culture. Despite his acceptance as king, Kanishka refused to allow the division of the homeland. This tradition has been going on for ages; blood has been given, but it has never been given to the country’s soil. The first breach of this pledge occurred on August 14, 1947. The partition of the nation is a bloody wound on the soul of our eternal nation, just like the bleeding wound of Ashwatthama with a bead cut on his forehead.
What have we lost by division?
- Sindhu, without Hindu, is the word without meaning, without life, without body. According to Swatantryaveer Savarkar’s definition of our identity, the river Indus has left us orphaned.
- On March 23, 1931, Kot Lakhpat Jail hanged Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. Lahore is out of our hands. March 23 is a national holiday in Pakistan. However, this holiday does not commemorate the hanging of the revolutionaries, but rather the passing of a resolution demanding separate land for the Muslim community, without naming Pakistan, on the 23rd of March 1940 in the city of Lahore, on the banks of the same river Ravi.
- The British government gave land in Lyallpur, on the plateau of the Ravi and Chenab rivers in the Punjab province, to injured Indian soldiers fighting on the British side during the Second World War so they could build houses and cultivate. Those brave and hard-working soldiers had filled the whole of Lyallpur with green pearls, justifying the slogan “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.” Lyallpur is out of our hands. In 1977, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto changed the name of Lyallpur to Faisalabad in memory of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, hoping for free petrol.
- Our distance with Karachi, then known as “Judwaa Mumbai,” increased.
- The evidence of our civilized, prosperous, and glorious city structure from 5000 years ago remained beyond the borders of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro.
- Hinglaj Mata Shakti Peeth, one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, has gone away from us.
- Gurdev Nanak, the founder of the Sikh sect, left Nankana Sahib with us.
- The “Kartarpur Darbar Sahib Gurdwara,” where the Sikh sect began, eluded us despite being just 4 km away from the border line.
- Peshawar fell out of sight in the battle of Peshawar on May 8, 1758, in which the Maratha Empire and the Sikhs defeated the Durrani Empire.
- Because the Marathas’ Bhimthadi horses crossed Attock and drank the Indus River’s water, Pune celebrated Diwali while our neighboring enemy country held possession of it.
- The peak of the Dhakeshwari temple, the Shaktipeeth of the entire Hindu society, vanished from our view.
- In Punjab, we lost the land that the five rivers (Ravi, Chenab, Jhelum, Sutlej, and Beas) enriched.
- We paid for the merciless killing of at least 6 lakh of our Hindu brothers and sisters.
- Torture and a price far greater than life itself befell countless mothers and sisters. How many of these Hindu sisters were forcibly married off and kept in Pakistan is beyond computation.
- At least 1.20 crore Hindu brothers and sisters left their ancestral land, property, and immovable property and came to India helpless. Be it Hindi film actor Raj Kapoor’s family from Multan, Sunil Dutt’s family, Commonwealth Games gold medallist Milkha Singh, or Sadhu Vaswani Mission from the spiritual region of Hyderabad in Sindh province. This list is endless.
- We lost about one-fourth of India’s total area.
- To some extent, the Muslim voters who voted for the Muslim League shifted to Pakistan after Partition, but a large number stayed back. That is, the traitors of the jihadi mentality, who desired Pakistan as an independent country, remained here under the new name of the Muslim League of India.
- We settled the enemy nation, which stood on the basis of religion and was always hated by calling our Hindus infidels, by conspiring with our neighbors. “A good neighbour makes your house worth twice as much” is a German proverb. This also occurred with our neighbour, Pakistan, on a global scale.
Who did the division?
The British enforced partition by placing a gun on Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s shoulder.
- Feared by the unchecked violence of the Direct Action Day, a call for a separate Pakistan by the Muslim League, particularly the brutal killing of Hindus in Noakhali, Calcutta, and throughout Bengal, the Congress approved the partition on August 16, 1946.
- When we delve deeply into the causes of partition, we primarily attribute it to the unorganized and apathetic Hindu society.
