Interesting podcast on the role the British played to first divide the people of India into Hindus versus Muslims and then the haste to withdraw from the country. How the lines were drawn on the maps without any sense of history, geography or ethnicity.

British were entirely responsible for this catastrophe as they showed no understanding of the events they were about to unleash.
