Partition of India

by Yoi

During my trip to India I have done a research about Partition of India, India was colonized

by Britain during early 1900, and at that time Britain uses laws and power to oppress Indian

people. And then there was a man named Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi which had great

influence to the demanding independence for India, he formed a group of Indian to fight with British

til 1945 which there was an election and the British governors had a policy to give independence to

India, but they were afraid that India would take a revenge of them because they had taken

advantages on many occasion on Indian people. In one major occasion where The British had

taken advantage on India was when the British oppress the Indian by salt taxation and Indian

people where not able to pay for their on salt. This is when Gandhi play a major roll by a march led

by Gandhi himself, which brings the world to attention when Gandhi was imprisoned- this was

marked as the beginning of the end of the British rule.

After a few days India declare independence the British break India into two parts so that India

wouldn't be to powerful for a nation. The country was split into two parts by the difference in

religion. Indian was a nation with the belief of Hinduism and Pakistan country are people who

believe in Islamic values. The partition had left both India and Pakistan devastated because the

partition had left many lives rapped and robbed through riots which occur between the

disagreement of two religion. In june 2011, there are about 15 million refugees which had come

across the border. This people where mixed religion of hindu and Muslim. The division of Punjab

and Bengal had cause a castratophic riots and claims many lives of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs,

which also causes 15 million people in refugee. Kashmir is also part of India, but it is a liberal state

because King Hari Singha Dogra chose to be a liberal state because he is a Hindus but most of the

population in Kashmir are Islamic. The King chose not to be with anybody and signed a cease

peace contract with pakistan so that traveling, trades, and communication are still valid, while

peace between India is also agreed between the two state.

This partition in India had cause many wounds for India as a whole, including Kashmir and

Pakistan. This partition and violence against each other had causes castratophic economic

depression between the country which in actual fact the splitted country should be one and this

simulation of boundaries and the differences between religion which is also a simulation of belief

had causes many innocent lives to die, and many people in refugee. These partition causes many

important lost of their most dynamic, influential leader like Gandhi, Jinnah, and allama Iqbal. The

partition haven't just affected the country which have splitted themselves, but it had also strongly

affected the whole world because if the conflict haven't stop. I personally feel that this conflict may

cause nuclear war to be erupted because both countries had been collecting nuclear weapons.
