an acceptable level of violence what

229
00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:17,550

map not at all we have a sense of the

248
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,740
overview built into this isn't that part

249
00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:16,990
of being British that's our education

250
00:15:16,990 --> 00:15:19,300
it's our heritage that's how we've run

251
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,279
an empire which we shall now proceed to
252
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:24,400

thousand deaths do you agree with that

256
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:43,470

258
00:15:46,690 --> 00:15:48,850

but perhaps not helpful no as he hanged

340
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,210
people the English have a great

341
00:20:41,210 --> 00:20:43,460
tradition of hanging judges in England

342
00:20:43,460 --> 00:20:44,450
and in India

343
00:20:44,450 --> 00:20:47,390

345
00:20:50,570 --> 00:20:53,270
liberal reputation liberal or not you

348
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,960
so profoundly disagree but I cannot

349
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:01,670

358
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,920
clear we must regain our authority how

359
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,140
by accepting a border imposed by the

360
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:32,480
British there may be no other solution

361
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,850

these years of struggle they remain the

369
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,530
imperialists he occupies in my country I
370
00:22:03,530 --> 00:22:07,100
say this with a heavy heart but you are

371
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:09,080
in danger of making yourself an

372
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,140
irrelevance if it is God's wish I will

373
00:22:12,140 --> 00:22:19,220
be irrelevant meat Radcliffe help him

374
00:22:19,220 --> 00:22:22,130
make a just border there can be no just

375
00:22:22,130 --> 00:22:24,530
border there is going to be one anyway

376
00:22:24,530 --> 00:22:26,690
that does not make it right but we will

377
00:22:26,690 --> 00:22:29,080
have an Indian free independent

378
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,570
democratic tolerant of all faiths that

379
00:22:32,570 --> 00:22:35,330
is what we have struggled for but cuz

380
00:22:35,330 --> 00:22:38,270
they do I will not support partition

381
00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:39,680
there is immediate

382
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,060
in every sect India if no border is

383
00:22:44,060 --> 00:22:47,350
agreed what do you think will happen

384
00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:49,880
after the killings in Calcutta last year

385
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,360
I thought bingo I know I prayed I spoke

386
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:56,500
I begged for peace yes and all listened

387
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:01,220
Hindu Muslim Sikh Christian Farsi Jamis

388
00:23:01,220 --> 00:23:03,560
all together raising their voices ever

389
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,240
and when you left it the killings

390
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,260
stopped peace must be possible between

391
00:23:09,260 --> 00:23:11,630
all the peoples of India in one country

392
00:23:11,630 --> 00:23:14,480
no Gandhiji perhaps we could have had

393
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,760
one united free country ten years ago

394
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,340
before the war when China's still

395
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:22,160
believed in one India before the British

396
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,810
locked our leadership up and the

397
00:23:23,810 --> 00:23:27,020
extremists make hay before the Muslim

398
00:23:27,020 --> 00:23:28,460
party was powerful

399
00:23:28,460 --> 00:23:30,860
before Hindu nationalists started

400
00:23:30,860 --> 00:23:33,590
walking around in Nazi uniforms calling

401
00:23:33,590 --> 00:23:36,920
for the death of Muslims but not now it

402
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,270
has gone too far

403
00:23:38,270 --> 00:23:43,160
the hatred the killing too far the only

404
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,980
hope is for two countries that can live

405
00:23:45,980 --> 00:23:49,160
with each other I will fast the beasts I

406
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,990
will bring up whom I fear that will not

407
00:23:50,990 --> 00:23:56,690

during the war I was in the Ministry of

504
00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:41,880
Information what did that entail telling

505
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,040
the public things they needed to know in

506
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:44,910
wartime

507
00:29:44,910 --> 00:29:48,600
for example Oh how to make custard

508
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,080
without fresh eggs and was this achieved

509
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,390
with the famous British dried egg powder

510
00:29:54,390 --> 00:29:56,430
yes I got the power don't have anything

511
00:29:56,430 --> 00:29:58,830
to do with eggs that was classified

512
00:29:58,830 --> 00:29:59,580
information

513
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,550
[Laughter]

514
00:30:02,550 --> 00:30:06,080
Panditji what did you do in the war a

515
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,820
great deal of reading since I was in

516
00:30:08,820 --> 00:30:14,730
prison of course forgive me my dear

517
00:30:14,730 --> 00:30:16,710
Radcliffe there have been adverse

518
00:30:16,710 --> 00:30:19,590
comments in the press regarding your how

519
00:30:19,590 --> 00:30:22,560
should I say the innocence of India yes

520
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,930
of which I'm all too painfully aware no

521
00:30:24,930 --> 00:30:27,420
my dear fellow my point is I welcome

522
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:31,710
your impartiality thank you and I assure

523
00:30:31,710 --> 00:30:33,540
you I'm not wholly ignorant of the

524
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:36,000
history of my country and yours the

525
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,890
massacre at Amritsar the hangings at

526
00:30:37,890 --> 00:30:40,200
Feroze poor that British armies attacks

527
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,880
on the demonstrators during the salt tax

528
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,660
protests these are bluffs on on my

529
00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:51,000
country's reputation blocked forgive me

530
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,820
if I express myself inappropriately no

531
00:30:53,820 --> 00:30:56,700
my dear fellow the problem we all have
532
00:30:56,700 --> 00:31:00,120
is that once blood is spilt disputes

533
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,960
between peoples nations religions become

534
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,149
all but impossible to solve

535
00:31:06,149 --> 00:31:10,349
but we must act somehow it is a hard

536
00:31:10,349 --> 00:31:14,099
lesson drive your cart and plow over the

537
00:31:14,099 --> 00:31:17,849
bones of the dead William Blake indeed

538
00:31:17,849 --> 00:31:28,349
school oh yes I can quote that poets at

539
00:31:28,349 --> 00:31:31,469
them serve them tea and scones I smile

540
00:31:31,469 --> 00:31:33,449
and swallow my nausea at their crust

541
00:31:33,449 --> 00:31:36,299
casual ignorance the massive cruelty of

542
00:31:36,299 --> 00:31:39,329
their occupation of my country but every

543
00:31:39,329 --> 00:31:42,779
minute every second day and night I work

544
00:31:42,779 --> 00:31:45,629
with every fiber of my being to get them

545
00:31:45,629 --> 00:31:50,059
out how extraordinary it is that she

546
00:31:50,059 --> 00:31:57,360
understands that
547
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,080
I did not want this so we must talk

548
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,320
why does narrow like the rough timetable

549
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,930
he thinks it will wrong foot Gina and

550
00:32:06,930 --> 00:32:08,760
the Muslim League am i right I don't

551
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,230
think Bundy Chi is that devious but you

552
00:32:10,230 --> 00:32:12,540

prime minister of Kashmir

557
00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:25,230

straight back to the Congress party

582
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,670
that's it very well

583
00:34:04,670 --> 00:34:08,360

us we will slow him down I can't recall

585
00:34:11,180 --> 00:34:13,520
the judge Radcliffe in a Hindi report

586
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,620
that's because he's never been in what

587
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:19,190
or in India at all really have the

588
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:20,330
British sent a fool

589
00:34:20,330 --> 00:34:21,980
do they want to turn partition into a

590
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:24,500
Gilbert and Sullivan opera I've made
591
00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:27,430
inquiries he's not a fool what is it

592
00:34:27,430 --> 00:34:31,130
principal an English moment principals

593
00:34:31,130 --> 00:34:32,540
come to take a meat cleaver to the

594
00:34:32,540 --> 00:34:35,090
country I love protect us but from their

595
00:34:35,090 --> 00:34:37,250
point of view what can they do since

596
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:39,560
they Hindu site negotiations last year

597
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,840
they've lost control will circumcisions

598
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,260
did any of us know book he would unleash

599
00:34:44,260 --> 00:34:47,450
did I when I called for a day of action

600
00:34:47,450 --> 00:34:50,000
and cities burned hatred and suspicion

601
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,120
on all sides he knew and Muslim and Sikh

602
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,280
just just a tinge of difference in

603
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,740
ideology or religion works like a bomb

604
00:34:57,740 --> 00:35:01,820
but we will have it stung Pakistan

605
00:35:01,820 --> 00:35:03,890
a bleeding corpse which will be expected
606
00:35:03,890 --> 00:35:05,780
to live like maggots we will not let

607
00:35:05,780 --> 00:35:08,200
that happen

608
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,510
we must bend this judge make him see

609
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:12,290
reason

610
00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:14,270
but I began the struggle for Muslim

611
00:35:14,270 --> 00:35:15,980
rights I never thought of India split

612
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:19,970
into genell our own people have forced

613
00:35:19,970 --> 00:35:22,510
this upon us there is no going back

614
00:35:22,510 --> 00:35:26,450
I can only pray o divided India is the

615
00:35:26,450 --> 00:35:29,420
wind of our love this melancholy you

616
00:35:29,420 --> 00:35:32,870

617
00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:38,240

I'm delighted to meet you

623
00:36:02,339 --> 00:36:04,720
these are members of my staff mr.

624
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:07,320
Christopher Beaumont

625
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:34,170
so mr. Rao

626
00:36:34,170 --> 00:36:36,819
mr. justify let's do with our flim-flam

627
00:36:36,819 --> 00:36:38,530
and speak frankly please

628
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:40,329
why has the British government suddenly

629
00:36:40,329 --> 00:36:42,640
impose the 14th of August as the date of

630
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,589
independent respecting so I cannot speak

631
00:36:44,589 --> 00:36:46,569
to that it is a decision of the British

632
00:36:46,569 --> 00:36:48,339
government that you are the instrument

633
00:36:48,339 --> 00:36:50,260
sent to implement it is a political

634
00:36:50,260 --> 00:36:52,660
matter and carving up the subcontinent

635
00:36:52,660 --> 00:36:55,930
isn't about denser with respect I am the

636
00:36:55,930 --> 00:36:58,690
servant not the master you must protest

637
00:36:58,690 --> 00:37:01,270
to the Viceroy as I have done in no

638
00:37:01,270 --> 00:37:03,430
uncertain terms that is your right all I

639
00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:05,260
don't know what rights Muslims have in

640
00:37:05,260 --> 00:37:07,690
this matter the right to a fair hearing

641
00:37:07,690 --> 00:37:10,200
we all wish to do the best for India oh

642
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,770
there you have it

643
00:37:11,770 --> 00:37:14,470
I'm sorry India is not a country or a

644
00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:16,900
nation it is a subcontinent of

645
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:21,400
nationality I am Muslim Sikh Tamil Farsi

646
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,990
that are Arabs on the west coast there

647
00:37:22,990 --> 00:37:26,650
are Jews mm neat groups for major

648
00:37:26,650 --> 00:37:30,609
language yes you get it you do this

649
00:37:30,609 --> 00:37:33,310
every time you colonize you move into a
650
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:35,170
huge area of the globe and you call it a

651
00:37:35,170 --> 00:37:38,950
country when it is not you've done so

652
00:37:38,950 --> 00:37:42,119
all over Africa the Arab states Iran or

653
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:45,490
mr. Jinnah all I want is a level playing

654
00:37:45,490 --> 00:37:58,720
field mr. justice this is not mr.

655
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:00,099
justice I have to tell you some of my

656
00:38:00,099 --> 00:38:01,569
colleagues in the Muslim League think I

657
00:38:01,569 --> 00:38:03,460
should withdraw all cooperation from you

658
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:05,530
mr. Jinnah that would be a most grave

659
00:38:05,530 --> 00:38:11,170
and serious step would it not but I do

660
00:38:11,170 --> 00:38:14,430
wish us to understand each other as do i

661
00:38:14,430 --> 00:38:22,619
cricket metaphors Asad where is Pakistan

662
00:38:22,619 --> 00:38:25,300
that is the question you see for years

663
00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:27,280
Muslims did not think of Pakistan as a

664
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,960
place at all many still don't
665
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,410
Pakistan is everywhere and nowhere it is

666
00:38:32,410 --> 00:38:34,359
a country of the heart some have seen

667
00:38:34,359 --> 00:38:35,710
the whole of the subcontinent

668
00:38:35,710 --> 00:38:39,339
in Pakistan I myself for years did not

669
00:38:39,339 --> 00:38:42,040
want partition I did everything I could

670
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,990
to make a federated India with

671
00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:45,609
guarantees for Muslims in a

672
00:38:45,609 --> 00:38:49,960
power-sharing government but it is not

673
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,859
to be the hatred has become too great so

674
00:38:53,859 --> 00:38:55,810
now we have to make a place on the

675
00:38:55,810 --> 00:38:58,810
ground on the map I most fear is this we

676
00:38:58,810 --> 00:39:00,250
will end up with a ragged line a

677
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:03,010
moth-eaten Pakistan where my people will

678
00:39:03,010 --> 00:39:06,700
not be able to live Calcutta

679
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:10,420
must be in Pakistan mr. Jinnah with

680
00:39:10,420 --> 00:39:13,330
respect I cannot discuss hard cases

681
00:39:13,330 --> 00:39:16,390
Pakistan must have ought in the East can

682
00:39:16,390 --> 00:39:18,940
only be Delta India must have a port in

683
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:21,040
the East India must have got a Pakistan

684
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,080
will be cut off it is a Hindu city it is

685
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,480
nearly lost and more than half Hindu men

686
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,490
make the sacrifice you demand we make

687
00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:29,680
sacrifices all over the Punjab Calcutta

688
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,020
is Indian in space but Muslim by right

689
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:34,330
temples are sacred what is not sacred on

690
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:36,550
this is our it is ours

691
00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:38,680
please could we have some order or what

692
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,020
mr. justice you will clear the court

693
00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:56,349
order there must be the hatred we are

694
00:39:56,349 --> 00:39:57,940
educated men in this room and we can

695
00:39:57,940 --> 00:39:59,250
barely contain it

696
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:03,700
we must must have a viable Pakistan a

697
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:05,680
state in which we can live and breathe

698
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,450
as free human beings which we can

699
00:40:07,450 --> 00:40:09,190
develop accordingly to our own likes and

700
00:40:09,190 --> 00:40:13,720
Culture and Islamic democracy with

701
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,390
Islamic social justice and equality on

702
00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:19,270
our own native soil yes absolutely and

703
00:40:19,270 --> 00:40:28,320
that I am determined to it to affect

704
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,540
well I was told you're a man of

705
00:40:31,540 --> 00:40:35,450
principle I hope I am

706
00:40:35,450 --> 00:40:51,170
so does Pakistan where's our driver

707
00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:58,520
he'll be here but how can we deal with a

708
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,339
man who thinks the world is a frigid
709
00:41:01,339 --> 00:41:10,540
bitch be better at cricket than he is

710
00:41:10,540 --> 00:41:20,780
whiskey no I know you wish I did not

711
00:41:20,780 --> 00:41:24,020
drink alcohol as father of an Islamic

712
00:41:24,020 --> 00:41:25,609
nation I shall just have to be forgiven

713
00:41:25,609 --> 00:41:27,040
my time

714
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:39,290

trying to attack these offices we have

717
00:41:43,740 --> 00:41:45,390
our people at the end of the street and

718
00:41:45,390 --> 00:41:47,309
so Radcliffe's party gets out safely

719
00:41:47,309 --> 00:41:58,810
of course moves upon silence

00:42:41,150 --> 00:42:42,850
silence

730
00:42:42,850 --> 00:42:45,860

00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,580
going to make decisions he needs some

847
00:50:43,580 --> 00:50:45,710
information even though it's inaccurate

848
00:50:45,710 --> 00:50:52,930
accuracy is irrelevant and I need a GMT

849
00:50:52,930 --> 00:50:55,210

things I should say figs are the

853
00:51:02,510 --> 00:51:03,950
opposite of what he needs

854
00:51:03,950 --> 00:51:06,440

for the census figures and even no idea

861
00:51:22,190 --> 00:51:23,930
how accurate they are and the judge is

862
00:51:23,930 --> 00:51:25,430
throwing up three times an hour

863
00:51:25,430 --> 00:51:27,680
this is an impossible task but we are

864
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,050

865
00:51:30,050 --> 00:51:32,120

867
00:51:34,550 --> 00:51:37,340
been friends but you know I didn't want

868
00:51:37,340 --> 00:51:40,910
to work for the Commission but you had

869
00:51:40,910 --> 00:51:45,590
orders from there oh yes to spy for him

870
00:51:45,590 --> 00:51:51,770

874
00:52:07,790 --> 00:52:10,340
Mahatma is in his own world if he came

875
00:52:10,340 --> 00:52:11,510
out and supported the board

876
00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:15,290
he won't is he aware of the chaos no

877
00:52:15,290 --> 00:52:17,510
doubt but in his own way it's like he's

878
00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:20,060
abandoned his people abandon all of us

879
00:52:20,060 --> 00:52:23,480
it's religion I don't understand no you

880
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:29,620
don't I was in a Punjab village

881
00:52:29,620 --> 00:52:31,970
intelligent men one of them had served

882
00:52:31,970 --> 00:52:33,620
in the war in the Sudan

883
00:52:33,620 --> 00:52:35,990

00:52:35,990 --> 00:52:38,570
tempers the price of matches oh you know

885
00:52:38,570 --> 00:52:40,040
about that it's happening all over the
886
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,410
country yes but matches it's the little

887
00:52:42,410 --> 00:52:45,260
things that's what he said the little

888
00:52:45,260 --> 00:52:48,710
things that move the masses and kill the

889
00:52:48,710 --> 00:52:50,360
complexity of it Christopher how can

890
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,190
this jug begin to graph the complexities

891
00:52:52,190 --> 00:52:57,770
an honorable man aren't they all no this

892
00:52:57,770 --> 00:53:04,170
is a man with a very good brain

893
00:53:04,170 --> 00:53:07,180
what did you give him this

894
00:53:07,180 --> 00:53:11,560
no what is it the bhagavad-gita he's

895
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,420
reading the bhagavad-gita well give him

896
00:53:13,420 --> 00:53:16,180
some credit he's trying to understand

897
00:53:16,180 --> 00:53:20,860
India you enlightened rulers how you all

898
00:53:20,860 --> 00:53:22,870
want to understand India to screw her

899
00:53:22,870 --> 00:53:24,310
the better you know I can rather take

900
00:53:24,310 --> 00:53:25,810
the sense into that you won't because
901
00:53:25,810 --> 00:53:27,940
you know it to be true Rao it's up to us

902
00:53:27,940 --> 00:53:30,730
in this room with these maps we make two

903
00:53:30,730 --> 00:53:32,560
new countries or India collapses into

904
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,570
endless bloodletting and ceases to exist

905
00:53:34,570 --> 00:53:36,490
to achieve that London has sent us an

906
00:53:36,490 --> 00:53:40,810
ignorant judge this show me this place

907
00:53:40,810 --> 00:53:42,910
for roast poor again but on the bigger

908
00:53:42,910 --> 00:53:46,480
scale map yes sir those were census yes

909
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,380
that time I thought the Raj civil

910
00:53:50,380 --> 00:53:52,450
service was a gleaming well-oiled

911
00:53:52,450 --> 00:53:55,390
machine it is a little annoying to these

912
00:53:55,390 --> 00:53:58,030
days but reason at the Clarkes some

913
00:53:58,030 --> 00:53:59,950
civil servants are deserting their posts

914
00:53:59,950 --> 00:54:03,340
burning official records well I was

915
00:54:03,340 --> 00:54:04,840
thinking anyway the census was carried

916
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,660
out by the British in 1941 yes in

917
00:54:07,660 --> 00:54:11,140
wartime yes so its accuracy is in

918
00:54:11,140 --> 00:54:14,650
question yes so how can we judge where

919
00:54:14,650 --> 00:54:17,610
Hindu Muslim Sikh populations are in

920
00:54:17,610 --> 00:54:20,460
1947 we have any total evidence

921
00:54:20,460 --> 00:54:24,550
anecdotal perhaps we might use a water

922
00:54:24,550 --> 00:54:27,370
divining stick over the map sideways

923
00:54:27,370 --> 00:54:29,560
vibrating for the Hindus up and down for

924
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,930
the Muslims and what circles for the

925
00:54:31,930 --> 00:54:36,400
Sikhs we are making a new reality out of

926
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,110
an old but the old reality and how

927
00:54:38,110 --> 00:54:41,320
people ask what it is for Osborne yes

928
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:41,860
sir

929
00:54:41,860 --> 00:54:44,440
Christopher put me down June 2 would you

930
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,320
you think that's wise for God's sake I

931
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,120
never got a known state back home but

932
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:59,620
it's not out here - is it small place -

933
00:54:59,620 --> 00:55:04,780
cause such upset upset three martyrs

934
00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:07,580
Indian freedom fighters came

935
00:55:07,580 --> 00:55:10,010
you the British hang to them in 1931

936
00:55:10,010 --> 00:55:12,140
that memory is eternal

937
00:55:12,140 --> 00:55:13,880
they have come to represent the struggle

938
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,110
for freedom and that will forever be in

939
00:55:15,110 --> 00:55:16,940
our hearts as will their city with its

940
00:55:16,940 --> 00:55:24,590
lovely gardens right now the census it's

941
00:55:24,590 --> 00:55:27,320
the evidence we have now how can we best

942
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,320
use information I would suggest we color

943
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,250
code on the local map Hindu a red Muslim

944
00:55:34,250 --> 00:55:37,940
green Sikh yellow and any other religion
945
00:55:37,940 --> 00:55:41,900
pearl excellent my approach is to answer

946
00:55:41,900 --> 00:55:45,050
mr. Jinnah's question where is Pakistan

947
00:55:45,050 --> 00:55:46,820
you meet once you answer that you'll

948
00:55:46,820 --> 00:55:53,000
know Arabia is yes well the greatest

949
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,250
concentration of Muslims is in the East

950
00:55:55,250 --> 00:55:59,000
in Bengal in the north in Kashmir and in

951
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,890
the West in the Punjab so matter of what

952
00:56:00,890 --> 00:56:03,020
is just where there is a majority of

953
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:05,510
Hindus there is India where there is a

954
00:56:05,510 --> 00:56:07,730
majority of Muslims there is Pakistan

955
00:56:07,730 --> 00:56:18,320
this may be simpler than we think Muslim

956
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:24,770
maybe the line could work in the Punjab

957
00:56:24,770 --> 00:56:27,380
the populations have jumbled up village

958
00:56:27,380 --> 00:56:29,870
by village presumably they can continue

959
00:56:29,870 --> 00:56:32,330
to live side-by-side whether they be in
960
00:56:32,330 --> 00:56:34,760
India or in Pakistan Hindus will never

961
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:35,990
live under Muslim law and the Muslim

962
00:56:35,990 --> 00:56:37,970
demand for a homeland can't be stopped

963
00:56:37,970 --> 00:56:39,710
it's the blood that's been spilled sir

964
00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:41,750
however just and rational you are the

965
00:56:41,750 --> 00:56:43,130
blood will be against you people will

966
00:56:43,130 --> 00:56:46,780
kill for their farms and their homes

967
00:56:46,780 --> 00:56:52,670
right well all I can suggest is we try a

968
00:56:52,670 --> 00:56:57,150
tentative scribble

969
00:56:57,150 --> 00:57:07,420

970
00:57:07,420 --> 00:57:10,819
my dear child tree I'm so pleased to be

971
00:57:10,819 --> 00:57:12,500
an advisor to the Radcliffe Commission

972
00:57:12,500 --> 00:57:14,029
you will be a great help

973
00:57:14,029 --> 00:57:16,309
inshallah now do we have any idea what

974
00:57:16,309 --> 00:57:18,980
has been going on in that bungalow I can

975
00:57:18,980 --> 00:57:22,069
find out you have an informant not an

976
00:57:22,069 --> 00:57:24,319
informant or a friend do you mean the

977
00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:26,779
English Fenner Beaumont he takes a great

978
00:57:26,779 --> 00:57:28,010
risk talking to me

979
00:57:28,010 --> 00:57:29,390
there is the British Official Secrets

980
00:57:29,390 --> 00:57:32,900
Act top risk no doubt he revels in it

981
00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:35,470
another would be Lawrence of Arabia

982
00:57:35,470 --> 00:57:38,599
homosexual I mean why does the British

983
00:57:38,599 --> 00:57:40,910
public school system produce so many of

984
00:57:40,910 --> 00:57:44,450
them they aren't very many friends of

985
00:57:44,450 --> 00:57:46,640
Pakistani Viceroy house so when is what

986
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,470
they've seen the advisers tired

987
00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:49,549
disgraceful they should have been

988
00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:51,289
consulted at 1:00 listen to me my

989
00:57:51,289 --> 00:57:53,720
brother we are going to be past the

990
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,000
legacy we partition will tell many

991
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,279
things good and bad and even great evil

992
00:57:58,279 --> 00:58:01,279
and we must agitate for and struggle for

993
00:58:01,279 --> 00:58:05,270
and demand a livable Pakistan but do I

994
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:09,410
forget this is a mighty revolution the

995
00:58:09,410 --> 00:58:10,670
creation of a place that is

996
00:58:10,670 --> 00:58:13,880
unprecedented an Islamic democracy and

997
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,549
we shall make this great state of

998
00:58:16,549 --> 00:58:19,640
Pakistan happy and prosperous and if we

999
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,500
will forget on our pasts forget our

1000
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:24,619
hatreds that is now into the progress we

1001
00:58:24,619 --> 00:58:27,559

froze for you drone the border straight

1006
00:59:14,380 --> 00:59:16,690
it on the railway line one rail in India

1007
00:59:16,690 --> 00:59:22,150
the other name Pakistan then we'll move

1008
00:59:22,150 --> 00:59:26,920
the border 100 yards south so we'd spent

1009
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:28,720
three days on a section that's barely

1010
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,240
fifty miles long but we will get it

1011
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,100
right there a Hindu farms north of that

1012
00:59:33,100 --> 00:59:34,750

there's green to the South still Muslim

1014
00:59:36,850 --> 00:59:40,000
holding one yellow field seat well then

1015
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,690
we'll move the line one hundred yards

1016
00:59:43,690 --> 00:59:45,910
north of the railway that still only

1017
00:59:45,910 --> 00:59:47,740
puts half a foot in India but its

1018
00:59:47,740 --> 00:59:49,810
population is a Muslim majority will
1019
00:59:49,810 --> 00:59:51,250
drive people from the land they'll

1020
00:59:51,250 --> 00:59:53,230
starve then we'll send the line around

1021
00:59:53,230 --> 00:59:55,660
farms ditched by day about thousands of

1022
00:59:55,660 --> 00:59:56,320
square miles

1023
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,360

so India must have touched me no sir if

1123
01:07:27,109 --> 01:07:29,869
Pakistan controls Kashmir you could

1124
01:07:29,869 --> 01:07:32,030
allow Chinese troops to pass the amalia

1125
01:07:32,030 --> 01:07:33,890
an attack Pakistan would be a

1126
01:07:33,890 --> 01:07:35,540
peace-loving country we have no

1127
01:07:35,540 --> 01:07:37,730
guarantee of that how do we know that

1128
01:07:37,730 --> 01:07:40,280
you will not attack us India will be a

1129
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,190
peaceful democracy will Pakistan of

1130
01:07:43,190 --> 01:07:46,099
course can an Islamic country be a

1131
01:07:46,099 --> 01:07:48,770
democracy tell the country rhythm with a

1132
01:07:48,770 --> 01:07:56,619
vicious caste system be a democracy you

1133
01:07:56,619 --> 01:08:00,380
see we must secure our northern border

1134
01:08:00,380 --> 01:08:03,829
this Kashmir is in India Pakistan will

1135
01:08:03,829 --> 01:08:05,270
be cut in half con job to the West

1136
01:08:05,270 --> 01:08:11,530
Bengal to the east talk is pointless
1137
01:08:11,530 --> 01:08:15,290
Kashmir is an independent state the

1138
01:08:15,290 --> 01:08:17,120
Maharaja will decide which country he

1139
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,160

77% of the Kashmiri people are Muslim

1143
01:08:39,230 --> 01:08:42,469
when Pakistan comes into existence would

1144
01:08:42,469 --> 01:08:44,390
not the democratic thing we to put the

1145
01:08:44,390 --> 01:08:46,250
toys to them in a referendum

1146
01:08:46,250 --> 01:08:48,880

1147
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,589

01:09:14,500 --> 01:09:16,150
at the moment of its birth the tabs of

1155
01:09:16,150 --> 01:09:17,799

01:11:27,900 --> 01:11:30,120
didn't say a word give him everything he

1192
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,510

us in 1846 we got rid of the Sikh Prince

1203
01:12:10,060 --> 01:12:11,590
and replaced it with a pro British

1204
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:17,610
Muslim scar tissue left by the Empire

1205
01:12:17,610 --> 01:12:20,710
dangerous scar tissue in the Sun can

1206
01:12:20,710 --> 01:12:22,930

1211
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,030
hope to create a border together you

1212
01:12:37,030 --> 01:12:38,770

1213
01:12:38,770 --> 01:12:40,780
they want you to do it the was so narrow

1214
01:12:40,780 --> 01:12:42,820

a referendum in Kashmir well that would

1220
01:13:04,969 --> 01:13:07,100
be disastrous thousands would die at the

1221
01:13:07,100 --> 01:13:08,900
polling station eyes are good to suspect

1222
01:13:08,900 --> 01:13:11,000

01:15:28,390 --> 01:15:30,550
Sikhs ignored by the ranch over the

1254
01:15:30,550 --> 01:15:32,470

Pakistan how does that look pretty good

1293
01:18:30,430 --> 01:18:32,320
right but India must have a port on the

national fire staining some such actions

1381
01:24:08,370 --> 01:24:12,239
but no one ever even for a moment even

1382
01:24:12,239 --> 01:24:19,200

1395
01:25:58,930 --> 01:26:01,310
Radcliffe made this map this afternoon

1396
01:26:01,310 --> 01:26:10,040

1397
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:11,450
place yes but you see the blue crayon

1398
01:26:11,450 --> 01:26:12,770

this line yes I see it is the line for

1400
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:21,350
the division of the Punjab but this was

1401
01:26:21,350 --> 01:26:23,690

1403
01:26:29,420 --> 01:26:31,220

nowhere comes another impossible

1412
01:26:53,170 --> 01:26:56,210

us extremist religious fanatics

1416
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,260

when we step out from the old to the new

1680
01:46:26,100 --> 01:46:29,880

nation long suppressed finds utterance

phase in our national history but it

and noble era we have no ambition beyond

1686
01:46:44,370 --> 01:46:47,490
