When the British decided to pull out of India after WWII, the post-independent era would begin with one of the most devastating episodes of modern history. Two new nations emerged, India and Pakistan, drawn along religious lines; but the triumph of independence was overshadowed by the trauma of the partition. As Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs were forced to leave their homes in order to not be on the wrong side of the border, chaos ensued. 15 million people displaced and around a million people died. Such a catastrophe begs the question - how did something so shocking happen in the first place where people took up arms against their own neighbours that they had lived with for centuries?
