Episode Synopsis

In this gripping episode, we unravel one of the most devastating and transformative events of the 20th century — the Partition of British India in 1947. From the roots of colonial rule and the rise of nationalist movements to the bitter ideological divide between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, we trace the path to division. Through war, failed negotiations, and mounting communal tensions, two nations were born — but at a staggering human cost. Join us as we explore the political betrayals, the violent exodus of millions, and the lasting scars that still shape India, Pakistan, and the world today. Hosted on Acast.
