منگل پانڈے (اکبر پور ،ریاست اترپردیش ھندوستان)
Mangal Pandey (Akberpur, UP Hindustan)
19 جولائی 1827 تا 10 مئی 1857
پہلےکسی کومذہب کیخلاف اکساءو اورجب وہ طیش میں آکر کوئی قدم اٹھائےتو اسے"بغاوت" کا نام دےکرلٹکادو۔
یہ وطیرہ ہمیشہ سےفرنگیوں نے
ھندوستانیوں سے روا رکھا اور اسی "بغاوت" کا ایک مجرم منگل پانڈے تھا جس نے 1849 میں برٹش ایسٹ انڈیا کمپنی کی فوج میں شمولیت اختیار کی۔
آزادی کی وہ جنگ (1857) جسے انگریز "بغاوت" کہتے ہیں، کاپہلا قطرہ منگل پانڈے اعلیٰ ذات برہمن زمیندار خاندان کاسپاہی مضبوط عقائد کامالک تھا لیکن پانڈے
کے کیریئر کے عزائم ان کے مذہبی عقائد سے ٹکرا گئے جب اس نے یہ سنا کہ اسلحے کو لوڈ کرنے کے لیے چکنائی والے کارتوس کے سروں کو جان بوجھ کر گائے یا سور کا سور کا گوشت تھا، جو بالترتیب ہندوؤں یا مسلمانوں کے خلاف تھا۔
مارچ 1857 میں پانڈے نے اپنے ساتھی سپاہیوں کو بیرک پور (Barrickpur) کی

@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 1. #Partition1947 counterfactuals aren't counterintuitive. #Partition ended a zero sum game among the same stale set of interlocutors conducting a dialogue of the deaf #Simla, June '45 onwards. #CabinetMissionPlan's devolution did NOT solve #India's impasse.
@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 2. #Jinnah accepted the #CabinetMissionPlan for an embryonic #Pakistan was assured, and permitted to secede, come 1957, if the #confederation was not to the #MuslimLeague's liking. Routinely overlooked by #Nehru's #Indian and #Pakistani baiters.
@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 3. To iterate: #CabinetMissionPlan was a pilot project to be reviewed decadally. Just how was #India and #Nehru to embark on #economic #planning and consolidate a #democratic #union of disparate elements riven by #regionalism, #casteism and #sectarianism?

THE RADCLIFFE LINE

#75years ago a British lawyer named Cyril Radcliffe was asked by Louis Mountbatten, the former viceroy of India, to divide British-ruled India into the new independent nations of India, Pakistan & East Pakistan (Bangladesh). He had five weeks to do this.
The lines Radcliffe drew across India sparked a tragedy that still poisons ties between India and Pakistan today.

Approximately twelve million people crossed the Radcliffe line to find a new home with an estimated one million killed by sectarianism and religious violence.
This division led to one of the largest mass migrations in human history. Over one million people died as a result of communal clashes between Muslims, Sikhs & Hindus on India’s western & eastern borders.

The Radcliffe line was referred to as the “bloody line“ of partition.

நம் தேசம் துண்டாடப்பட்டு சுதந்திரம் கிடைத்த நாளில் நாம் சபதம் ஏற்போம்.

சர்வ சக்தி வாய்ந்த இறைவனையும் நம் முன்னோர்களையும் நினைவில் கொண்டு சபதம் ஏற்கிறேன்.
1947இல் நாடு பிரிவினையான நாள் முதல் மகத்தான பலவீனம் அடைந்து
வந்துள்ளது.

நாட்டிற்கு உள்ளும், வெளியிலும் பிரிவினைவாதிகளும் Image
பயங்கரவாதிகளும்
பலமடைந்து வருகிறார்கள்.

நாட்டின் செல்வவளம் குறைந்து வருகிறது.

இந்த நிலையை மாற்ற பாரதம் மீண்டும் அகண்ட பரிபூரண
ஹிந்துஸ்தானமாக மாறவேண்டும்.

பக்தியும் சக்தியும் வாய்ந்த ஒருசிலர் முனைந்து முற்பட்டால் இந்த
உணர்வை பரப்ப முடியும்.
இதற்காக என்னை நானே அர்ப்பணித்துக்
கொள்கிறேன்.

இந்த சபதத்தை வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் கடைப்பிடிப்பேன்.

என்னுடைய
தொடர்பில் வருகிற அனைவருக்கும் இந்த உணர்வை ஏற்படுத்துவேன்.

ஆயிரம் ஆண்டுகளில் இழந்த
இதற்கு முதல் படியாக பாரதநாடு கட
நிலப்பரப்பை மீட்போம்!

"This Changing World"

"Partition of India Offers Red Leaders Chance for Infiltration and Intrigue"

(common theme in American coverage during this period, unsurprisingly)

#Partition1947
"The impending partition of India provides a subject for close scrutiny by policy-makers in Washington, who are concerned over the change which the creation of Hindustan and Pakistan will work on big power relationships throughout the world"
"Hitherto India has not possessed any independent influence in world affairs, although the frequent conflicts between the Hindu and Moslem communities and between each of them and Britain have had reverberations in other parts of the world"

As a child of parents who suffered during India’s #Partition1947, I am extremely grateful to PM @narendramodi Ji for declaring August 14 as #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. This will forever be a reminder of the human misery caused by wrong policies of the then Govt.
My father escaped murderous mobs by the skin of his teeth when he took the last Frontier Mail to India with nothing but the clothes he was wearing.

Both my parents then suffered & struggled for years. I grew up listening to their experiences.
The declaration of #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay when we celebrate #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav is a homage to the struggles & sacrifices of my parents, grandparents & millions of others like them.
