Video - 1947: The Chaotic Birth of India and Pakistan

Did you know that the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 was one of the most chaotic events in history? When the British decided to leave India, they hastily sliced the subcontinent into two countries based on religious lines. India would be predominantly Hindu, and Pakistan, primarily Muslim. This hasty decision led to one of the largest mass migrations ever, with around 14 million people crossing borders, hoping to find safety. Sadly, it wasn't a peaceful transition; over a million people lost their lives in the violence that erupted. Imagine moving to a new country overnight, not by choice but by necessity! What are your thoughts on this tumultuous chapter in history?
