Pros and Cons on the partition of India-Pakistan each six points.
Answers
Answer:
Cons - People lost their homes and lives (part of my family included), horrific brutality - but this may have been inevitable anyway
Pros - India emerged as a full democracy and began reverting to its 5000 year civilisational norm. The crazy jihadi element got filtered out of the country. We have wars every now and then but there’s a proper border which is secure (should be closed more tightly, I agree). India does not get dragged into terrorism and other nutty things. Terror is almost entirely an external thing - we secure the border and things improve. If Partition had not happened, people would have died and been internally displaced anyway. It would have combined the worst of both worlds. India is much stronger and more focused as a post-Partition country. India and Pakistan are able to diverge in their own directions without hindrance.
On the whole, Partition was a very, very good thing and we must do whatever we can to deepen it (by ending travel and trade) and ensure it is permanent.
