This Dave In History with Dave Jay

The Cost of Indian Independence


Listen Later

After 200 years of colonization, the British gave India its independence in 1947. On their way out they forced a divorce between the Muslims and Hindus of India, and it wasn't amicable. Raza Jafri returns to educate Dave about his own heritage. We talk about the bloody creation of Pakistan and Bangladesh, Gandhi, and why Indians love trains.

On This Dave In History comedian Dave Jay and a rotating cast of dummies talk history. Don't fact check us.
