Check out these videos about the India Pakistan Partition of 1947!
This is the first part of a 90 minute BBC documentary on the Partition of India. It details not only the British withdrawal from India, but also the causes and consequences of the tension between Hindus and Muslims. This is a great in depth analysis on the results of the Partition of India.
These two videos show the mass exodus of Muslims and Hindus. They portray the severity of the geographical and cultural disconnect among Muslims and Hindus on both sides of the India-Pakistan border. During the migration from India to Pakistan or vice versa, brutal violence caused the deaths of many civilians.
