The two prominent figures who played a vital role in India's partition are Mahatma Gandhi and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. This podcast highlights the partition of India from the point of view of these two leaders.

India's partition is one of the world's most controversial topics in the history of freedom movements. The partition of India was an event that resulted in the division of the British Indian Empire into the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan. It was a result of the Indian Independence Movement, which aimed the end British rule in the Indian subcontinent. The All-India Muslim League and the Indian National Congress led the movement which was accompanied by civil unrest and sectarian violence across the subcontinent. The partition created the new states of the Dominion of Pakistan (later the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh) and the Union of India (later the Republic of India). The partition involved the division of three provinces, Assam, Bengal, and Punjab, based on district-wide Hindu or Muslim majorities. The boundary demarcating India and Pakistan came to be known as the Radcliffe Line.

The British left India in August 1947, dividing the subcontinent into two countries: India and Pakistan. The partition sparked massive religious violence, especially in Punjab and Bengal, where Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs were caught in the middle of the chaos. Millions were killed in riots, and millions more were forced to flee their homes. The partition of India stands as one of the most significant events of the 20th century.

1947, Chakri. An idyllic village on the banks of the Soan near Rawalpindi, surrounded by stalks of golden wheat and festive songs. Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs eagerly await the end of winter and get together to prepare for Lohri. Amidst this joyous bustle, Baba Bhana, the erudite village elder, worries about the future of his foster daughter, Naseem. Life comes to a halt when news of a possible partition of India reaches the village. Amid a frenzy of communal violence, Baba Bhana and his family must reluctantly leave their beloved village. They embark on a long and dangerous journey, slowly coming to terms with the fact that their lives may be changing forever. Khoon de Sohile, first published in February 1948, and now translated for the first time into English - Hymns In Blood by Amb. Navdeep Suri provides a timely reminder of the grief and trauma that a religious divide brings in its wake.

S. Nanak Singh (Novelist) (04.07.1897-28.12.1971) was a Punjabi Novelist born to Lachhmi Devi and Bahadur Chandra in village Chak Hameed, District Jehlum, Pakistan. His earlier name was Hans Raj. He was married to Raj Kaur. He was a whole-time writer and a Publisher. He could not continue his study due to the sudden death of his father. He was baptized and initiated Sikhism under the influence of Giani Bagh Singh, the Head Granthi of Peshawar Gurdwara. His name was changed to Nanak Singh. He participated in the Gurdwara Reform movement and went to jail. He read Munshi Prem Chand's novels in jail and found the purpose of his life. He started writing novels to highlight the social evils prevalent in society. His ideal characters would strive to change society with their noble efforts. The impact of his characters on the readers is enormous. The plots of his novels are well-knit and his language of narration is powerful and full of Punjabi idioms and proverbs that readers couldn't leave the novel unfinished. His new novels were anxiously awaited by his keen readers. He reigned a generation of his readers for four decades. He was awarded Sahitya Akademi Award (1961) for his novel Ik Mian Do Talwaran.

Navdeep Suri (born 1959) is a retired Indian diplomat completing a distinguished 36 years in the Indian Foreign Service, having served in India's diplomatic missions in Cairo, Damascus, Washington, Dar es Salaam, and London and as India's Consul General in Johannesburg. He has also headed the West Africa and Public Diplomacy departments at the Ministry of External Affairs. He was India's High Commissioner to Australia and Ambassador to Egypt and UAE. In a rare gesture, the President of UAE conferred on him the Order of Zayed II, the country's second-highest civilian award.

Bangladesh declared its independence on March 26, 1971. The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 was a decisive win for India. What was the role of the Indian Navy? What was the role of the Indian Army? What was the role of the Indian Air Force? What was the role of Indian Diplomats? Why was Mukti Bahini formed? Five decades later, we bring you the untold stories on The Awaara Musaafir Show!

The 1971 war between India and Pakistan, to help liberate the beleaguered people of Bangladesh, is considered one of the last ‘just wars’ of the twentieth century. Good triumphed decisively, unequivocally, and indisputably. Yet, given the scale of atrocity that was halted in its tracks, it is shocking that the compelling circumstances, as well as numerous poignant and heart-warming stories of the war, have failed to become iconic representations of military intervention and success in the folklore and popular culture of India, Bangladesh and beyond.

December in Dacca published by Harper Collins seeks to right this wrong. From the dramatic dogfight over Boyra to the cornering of Pakistani naval vessels at Karachi to the Indian helicopter-riding infantry and paratroopers forcing the enemy to retreat, the book retells the many thrilling anecdotes, setting them within their diplomatic, strategic, and tactical contexts. It also provides a glimpse into the lives of some of these heroes once the dust had settled. Most importantly, it offers thoughts on why the events of 1971 are not better known, and how a better understanding of those could help India reaffirm her sense of self.

Ever since its independence in 1947, Pakistan has been running away from its roots—directionless—and has consistently traversed a myopic, self-destructive path. It has been overly obsessed with its more powerful neighbor India, which singularly looms large, albeit illogically, in all its politico-strategic formulations. Constantly whipping up tensions with India has been an existential self-defeating mission for Pakistan and its Deep State. That Pakistan, over the years, has earned the dubious distinction of being the epicenter of global terror, is an outcome directly attributable to its Deep State.  

In this episode, Lt. Gen. Kamal Davar talks about Pakistan's Deep State, how it was formed & what is its future!

About Lt. Gen. Kamal Davar - He is a veteran of the 1965 and 1971 operations, and is one of India’s leading military experts.
