The justification lay in the argument of how different Hindus were from Muslims, and therefore, how indispensable a vivisection was for them to live in peace. The \u2018best protection for the minorities will be the establishment of two strong states, neither of which will dare misbehave towards each other\u2019s minorities\u2019. Jinnah adamantly asserted: \u2018That is the only solution if you don\u2019t want civil war\u2019. Partition was to provide India\u2019s Muslims a homeland. Some called it a New Medina, others a Dar-ul-Islam. It was a premediated move on religious lines. There was no other reason for Partition. Ironically, Jinnah\u2019s proposal of an exchange of population fell on the deaf ears of Indian, read Hindu, Congress leaders and it resulted in an exodus \u2013 what happened in West Punjab was not a riot nor a mere pogrom, but a holocaust of Hindus and Sikhs, causing a flood of refugees to cross into India. A similar tragedy unfolded in the eastern wing of Pakistan. In comparison, the exodus of Muslims out of India was nominal. The author points out, had there been a population exchange as in Greece and Turkey, India would not today constantly face threats of communal discords and wars with Pakistan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div align=\"justify\">\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<h3>About the Book<\/h3>\n<p>Loneliness is Vikram\u2019s constant companion, born out of his rootlessness. Ever since he learned of his father\u2019s forced displacement, he longed for a home on familial soil, a place where the fragrance of his ancestors lingers in the grains of sand. No matter where life takes him, no triumph can cure the wounds left by the tragedy that partitioned his history from him. On the other side of the Wall, Sabeena is a brilliant woman, whose fate unfortunately delivers her into the caste most discriminated against in Indian society. Beautiful and unyielding, she carries within her a fire of calm resistance and the grace of sacrifice. Denied the dignity her mind and heart deserve, she endures daily injustices that leave her soul scarred, but her spirit undefeated. This is the story of two exceptional individuals and their shared longing to belong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[69,71,88],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11224","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-new-arrivals","7":"product_cat-non-fiction","8":"product_cat-politics","9":"pa_book-author-prafull-goradia","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/11224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11224"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=11224"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.crisscrosssolutions.in\/Vitasta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=11224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
