Excellent research

This is an excellent research and is a must for history students looking for issues around partition of india. India was partitioned when Muslims started rioting in Febraury 1947 in favour of partition (a country for muslims of india). Most Hindus and Sikhs only defended their families (and had no idea that they will have to either convert to islam or leave the area which later became Pakistan) while muslims were the aggressors and almost always started the riots.
