Re: India Pakistan Partition BBC Special Presentation
I read your post and replied to each one of your points one by one.
We were not comparing Mr Khan to the Sikh mourning his family. We were comparing the mourning of a Sikh who was saddened by the departure of Muslim from his village to the mourning of mr Khan for the departure of the Hindus and the loss of his cities heritage.
If you are going to talk about the relationship of Mountbatten and Jinnah, then you cant pretend it was something it wasnt and still be accurate. Mountbattten and Jinnah did not have a friendly interaction. To pretend it was something else is being deceptive. When talking about the relationship between Mountbatten and Jinnah, then the “Jinnah was cold” quote is the only one that is relevant.
I dont think you have a valid argument. And i dont think you have an basis to conclude any bias. We will leave it to others to decide. You simply want to hear an account that conforms to your own bias. Anything then that doesnt conform to your historical perspective is suspect.
my advice to you…
when you are debating with diwana on any issue … make you point clear and then let other GS members make a judgement..because diwana will NEVER EVER agree on any thing… plus he will continue posting same point again and again until u r ready to bang your head into the wall!
