Of human separation, pain & suffering

Manyof us might have gone through dark times in our life. But the darkest thathistory witnessed was the night of partition and the creation of twoindependent countries from a single territory. Although this naïve person hasn’t witnessed any account of partition,but a few days back while I was going through latest map of India, studying itsneighbors, oceans around, what I comprehended that there is not any naturaldisconnection, division in between these two countries of Asia. They are stillone when they represent a continent –Asia.

Weall know that after the partition of India about 8 million people had come toIndia from Pakistan. The partition even caused the division of lunatics,Muslims in the asylum of India were deported to Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhsin the asylum of Pakistan deported to India.

   

Partitionmight have rendered many homeless, many jobless, detached many families andmuch more which only the affected people might have suffered. But the thingthat still continues to haunt after partition is the hatred of people of thesetwo countries towards each other. I ordinarily don’t watch movies, but watchingthe movie “Bharat” made me sentimental. There might be millions of untold,unheard stories like this.

Asper religious aspect, nature has never allocated individuals uniformly onearth. People are unevenly, unequally located, that is what manifests; we arefirst humans then Muslims or Hindus. We were born to be interdependent. We canbear the wild dogs surround us but can’t bear the people like us, humans aroundus.

Onecan see after effects of partition. The partitionists never cared about theconflicts after partition, the politicians, the government of both countries intheir rivalry never have been able to count the after ceasefire deaths. See thepeoples’ misery, their helplessness, their streaming eyes, their concern, theirloss, and the peace which they have been craving for decades. Even afterpartition India and Pakistan created the history of three wars against eachother. These disputes are like never ending. There is always a kind of tensionprevailing in peoples’ mind about another war!!

I sometimes think, if there would have been no partition, there could have been no dispute, no cease fire violations, and yes, not even those three wars that caused countless destruction and grave loss of lives…….from the decades we have achieved nothing from this hatred and agony but lost many precious  lives like ours.
