Mani Shankar Aiyyar said: "Sikhs suffered the most due to partition" I guess, he never heard of Bengalis. Am a Bengali, I know what is suffering. My family orginally held from Barrackpore (which was a township during Bengal Presidency but right now it's considered a suburb of Kolkata) My Great- Grandfather was a police officer posted in Eastern province of Bengal (which is in Bangladesh presently) during 1930s. He was killed intentionally by a muslim dentist while performing surgery on his teeth. My grandfather was also a police officer, he was almost killed during Partition riots, but thankfully he survived. He saw most of his colleagues were killed at the hands of rioters during Partition trying to bring law and order under control. My grandfather also saved 100s of muslim and hindu families who were targeted by rioters during the refugee influx from both sides of Bengal Province.

The Bengalis are still suffering. All Indian Bengalis in North East India are still called Bangladeshis by the fellow tribals of the place and asked to leave the place. Due to partition North east India Bengalis are suffering from identify crisis
@@ramakrishna7534 Bengalis were there since the start the world there. They were in minority, but they were there. May be migration took place, but it was because the Hindus were insecure to stay in Bangladesh as it was under Pakistan. But don't forget Bangladesh was part of the bigger Bengal then..so Bengalis were spread all around Bengal and after partition they simply came from one part of the Bengal to other part of the Bengal (under India). So technically they dint migrate to a completely new place with new language. They simply moved from one location of their home state to another location. Those Punjabis who came from the Pakistan side to Indian Punjab side are not migrants right. So even Bengalis are not migrants. It's utterly disgusting that Bengalis in North east India, even after contributing so much to the literature and economy, still have to prove their right to stay in their "once own home state" just because now new geographical names has been given to the places. And bdw by North East, I am mostly talking about border states like Tripura, Assam, and Meghalaya..
Because so called Sikh ism is an extension of paganism known as the Pharaonic Hinduism. They are believers of universe as the one god, not the Truth, creator of the universe and every thing in between, Alpha, The Only living Lord, Allah the merciful. They preach and practice hindrance to the truth Hinduism in deception, the denial of the truth by faith. Proof of it lays in the shape of their head gear, forming triangular shape of Pharaonic burial place in Egypt. Every one of the men claiming to be a Pharaoh, under the cover of the word Sardar.

It's wrong to say the Sikhs lost the most during the Partition. My own family Muslims from East Punjab had to migrate across with loss if property but most sadly loss of the loved ones. The loss was for the WHOLE of Punjab. Punjabis lost and suffered the most irrespective of religion.
It's a fairly objective statement. Imagine if on partition there was a Sikh and Hindu state but nothing for Muslim ... in this scenario it would be correct to say the Muslims lost the most.

Sikhs are heartily welcomed here in Bangladesh🇧🇩🙏. I live near the historical "Gurudwara Nanak Shahi" in Dhaka city and there are around 23,000 Sikhs in my neighborhood. Most of them are descendants of Pakistani Punjab's Sikhs ..when bangladesh and Pakistan was a same country, many Sikhs from Pakistan's Punjab came to East Pakistan (current Bangladesh). During the 1971 war, Sikh fighters fought valiantly alongside us against the namard cowered Pakistanis .. Bangladesh Govt. has given their community full Bengali citizenship and nowadays their community can speak fluent Punjabi and Bengali. They operate some of the best North Indian restaurants in Dhaka. Guru Nanak visited Bangladesh in 1504, (Bangladesh was independent back then as the "Sultanate of Bengal") and he established a number of Gurudwaras .

Im Mexican-American and live in a city in California that has 35,000 Punjabis. It's actually very interesting- you can read about the historical relationship between Mexicans and Punjabis in California. Many intermarried and are still inter-marrying, which i find fascinating because of the cultural differences. But there are also many similarities - the strong family bonds, as well as the importancr of food playing a central role are a few similarities. But i often ask Punjabis "what did the Partition do to your family?" Many elder Sikhs cry when they tell their story, partly because they can't express properly the words in English in what they went through. They would tell me, "I never told my family's story of the Partition in English before- but I will describe for you want we went through". Then they proceeded telling me the atrocities that happened. I remember a chilling story of a Punjabi boy (who was the speaker's Grandfather) who was on a train to India during the Partition. The train was stopped by Pakistani officials right after leaving Lahore. All the little boy remembered was that the train cart started to be filled with bullet holes and glass was flying everywhere. People were screaming and he was almoat trampled to death. An older Sikh man ended up grabbing him and shielding him in the corner of the train cart, under a bench. The train then started to move and the boy took a while to realize the old man who shielded him was dead- laying awkwardly against the bench. He had bullet holes in his back. The boy heard moaning, screaming and crying all the way to the border, where he got off. He then realized that his immediate family all perished during the mass migration.
I had Sikh neighbours who were selling cocaine and heroin. They didn't seem to work too hard, unless you consider sitting in a window and exchanging drugs for money. I'm sure most are hard working, but I've known some shady ones also.
As a Pakistani, I welcome Sikh community to Kartarpur. Sikhs are our brothers, muslims and Sikhs are living together in peace at Nankana Sahib since 1947. Whenever I travel abroad and meet Indian Sikhs, they treat me in a very hospitable manner. Social media has helped common people to interact with each other across borders. Hopefully next generations won't have to suffer as their ancestors did. SPREAD LOVE AND LIVE IN PEACE.
Thank you for this video. It is such a great enlightenment to me who oblivious about what The Sikhs gone through. One of my closest childhood neighbor and friend was a sikhs and my current cube mate is a sikhs as well. They and their family are lovely and kind people. I can't find much fault in them at all. I hope and pray that situation will only continue to improve from here for them.

@ few years back some cases of forces conversions took place and the main culprit mian mithu was thrown out of politics coz of that , read some facts sister
It was a social system dividing work between people based on their capabilities Untill a book named manusumati was published they made it on basis of birth
Caste system was a form of control. Well before real-politik in Europe such as the works of Machiavelli, works such as the Arthashastra or Han Feizi already discussed or strongly encouraged the use of caste system to centralise a ruler's control. The three similarities was the pragmatic amoralism espoused over the 'sage-king', use of any means to the parth towards absolute control and centralised bureaucracy through the systems of laws; either well-deserved and impartial legal system or abitrary along the lines of real politiks. In the Indian Arthashastra, the form of control was so complete it even advocated for the control of sex and daily duties for the success of the state and further has a lengthy discussion on the economic factors as well. In it's pragmatism it suggested the use of spies across all creeds of society to spy and report on all the castes from bureaucrats, nobles to commoners. The Arthashastra can be considered the first major book on political science and economics in history. Although it failed to fully shape India into a nation-state after the collapse of the Maurya empire it is still remarkable in it's content and at such an early stage in human history. In Chinese legalism they wanted to separate the merchant class from the farmer class and the artisan class. Put your head down and work, don't question things. Do your work well and you will have no problems. Chinese legalism was the perfect recipe (like the Spartan culture) that favoured agriculture above all else and military meritocracy into a well-honed war machine.
The map of Punjab shown at 2:38 is incorrect. Punjab was much bigger since India divided it. Into 3 states. I’m Pakistani but I’m not even Punjabi and I know that’s incorrect.

But don't forget Bangladesh was part of the bigger Bengal then..so Bengalis were spread all around Bengal and after partition they simply came from one part of the Bengal to other part of the Bengal (under India). So technically they dint migrate to a completely new place with new language. They simply moved from one location of their home state to another location. Those Punjabis who came from the Pakistan side to Indian Punjab side are not migrants right. So even Bengalis are not migrants. It's utterly disgusting that Bengalis in North east India, even after contributing so much to the literature and economy, still have to prove their right to stay in their "once own home state" just because now new geographical names has been given to the places. And bdw by North East, I am mostly talking about border states like Tripura, Assam, and Meghalaya..
Yes I agree ...I heard the quotes about bengal ke sher and punjab ke sher during independence.

As a Hindu, I never saw any difference between Sikhism and Hinduism. I have visited the golden temple and if get a chance then visit Kartar Pur too.

Because so called Sikh ism is an extension of paganism known as the Pharaonic Hinduism. They are believers of universe as the one god, not the Truth, creator of the universe and every thing in between, Alpha, The Only living Lord, Allah the merciful. They preach and practice hindrance to the truth Hinduism in deception, the denial of the truth by faith. Proof of it lays in the shape of their head gear, forming triangular shape of Pharaonic burial place in Egypt. Every one of the men claiming to be a Pharaoh, under the cover of the word Sardar.

It's wrong to say the Sikhs lost the most during the Partition. My own family Muslims from East Punjab had to migrate across with loss if property but most sadly loss of the loved ones.
The loss was for the WHOLE of Punjab. Punjabis lost and suffered the most irrespective of religion.
It's a fairly objective statement. Imagine if on partition there was a Sikh and Hindu state but nothing for Muslim ... in this scenario it would be correct to say the Muslims lost the most.
P. Randhawa I guess the Kashmiris are saying the same statement as you
@P. Randhawa where's a "Hindu" state? Read the preamble of Indian constitution whenever you get time from watching ISI's failed intrusion attempts of the past.
You're right

Sikhs are heartily welcomed here in Bangladesh🇧🇩🙏. I live near the historical "Gurudwara Nanak Shahi" in Dhaka city and there are around 23,000 Sikhs in my neighborhood. Most of them are descendants of Pakistani Punjab's Sikhs ..when bangladesh and Pakistan was a same country, many Sikhs from Pakistan's Punjab came to East Pakistan (current Bangladesh). During the 1971 war, Sikh fighters fought valiantly alongside us against the namard cowered Pakistanis .. Bangladesh Govt. has given their community full Bengali citizenship and nowadays their community can speak fluent Punjabi and Bengali. They operate some of the best North Indian restaurants in Dhaka. Guru Nanak visited Bangladesh in 1504, (Bangladesh was independent back then as the "Sultanate of Bengal") and he established a number of Gurudwaras .

Im Mexican-American and live in a city in California that has 35,000 Punjabis. It's actually very interesting- you can read about the historical relationship between Mexicans and Punjabis in California. Many intermarried and are still inter-marrying, which i find fascinating because of the cultural differences. But there are also many similarities - the strong family bonds, as well as the importancr of food playing a central role are a few similarities.
But i often ask Punjabis "what did the Partition do to your family?" Many elder Sikhs cry when they tell their story, partly because they can't express properly the words in English in what they went through. They would tell me, "I never told my family's story of the Partition in English before- but I will describe for you want we went through".
Then they proceeded telling me the atrocities that happened. I remember a chilling story of a Punjabi boy (who was the speaker's Grandfather) who was on a train to India during the Partition.
The train was stopped by Pakistani officials right after leaving Lahore. All the little boy remembered was that the train cart started to be filled with bullet holes and glass was flying everywhere. People were screaming and he was almoat trampled to death. An older Sikh man ended up grabbing him and shielding him in the corner of the train cart, under a bench. The train then started to move and the boy took a while to realize the old man who shielded him was dead- laying awkwardly against the bench. He had bullet holes in his back. The boy heard moaning, screaming and crying all the way to the border, where he got off. He then realized that his immediate family all perished during the mass migration.

Please make a documentary on the caste system... DW you rock!!! I am an ardent viewer of your quality documentaries.
It was a social system dividing work between people based on their capabilities
Untill a book named manusumati was published they made it on basis of birth
Caste system was a form of control. Well before real-politik in Europe such as the works of Machiavelli, works such as the Arthashastra or Han Feizi already discussed or strongly encouraged the use of caste system to centralise a ruler's control. The three similarities was the pragmatic amoralism espoused over the 'sage-king', use of any means to the parth towards absolute control and centralised bureaucracy through the systems of laws; either well-deserved and impartial legal system or abitrary along the lines of real politiks.
In the Indian Arthashastra, the form of control was so complete it even advocated for the control of sex and daily duties for the success of the state and further has a lengthy discussion on the economic factors as well. In it's pragmatism it suggested the use of spies across all creeds of society to spy and report on all the castes from bureaucrats, nobles to commoners. The Arthashastra can be considered the first major book on political science and economics in history. Although it failed to fully shape India into a nation-state after the collapse of the Maurya empire it is still remarkable in it's content and at such an early stage in human history.
In Chinese legalism they wanted to separate the merchant class from the farmer class and the artisan class. Put your head down and work, don't question things. Do your work well and you will have no problems. Chinese legalism was the perfect recipe (like the Spartan culture) that favoured agriculture above all else and military meritocracy into a well-honed war machine.

@@19sunheart96 not many almost 95℅ are Muslim in Pakistani Punjab
hindus r equally good or better than sicks
Pure? How?
Go to faislabaad or gujjeranwala you will meet amazing Punjabis
Mani Shankar lyer is biggest liar.. taking his word on the matter.. makes it biased view on the matter..
True. They should've gone to Capt. Amarinder Singh, or perhaps someone serving in the Punjab legislature.
As a Pakistani American I Welcome each and everyone of them. They are free to visit Pakistan as many times as they like! I have nothing but peace and love for sikhs of India.
@Kashif seems Pakistanis haven't moved on
@Kashif if pakistanis had moved on they wouldn't have displayed posters of bhindrawale at kartarpur.
@Kashif You are the most stupid man I have ever come across
@Kashif I wish I had a cure for your stupidity.
Zombie apocalypse in a rat hole jhoper pati.
Prayers of peace transcend boarders bound in humanity... god be with us all in these trying days
sikhs are crown of India. Indians love sikh like their brother
In this DW Documentary everything is perfect, except Mani Shankar Aiyar
And also sashi tharoor. Rather than politicians Sikh historians should have been interviewed.
What did he do?
@@polaroidandroidjeff6383 saying Sikhs retaliated the most
I don’t know who this Indian politician is and why is he taking credit for the kartarpur. As an a Pakistani we all gives the credit to navjot Singh sidhu. He put his career on line to get the kartarpur open. I really hope that Indians Sikh see that and thanks him. Modi only cares about Hindu.
as an pakistani stfu bitch don't talk anything about India if you literally live in Pakistan
Yes, unfortunately Mohdi only the Prime Minister of the hindus.. He doesn't really cares of other indian communities!
You full ,it is secular democratic India,not an islamic so called republic.
Thanks a lot DW for this documentary.💙💙
🙏
After meeting Indian of all faith, I realized we are all people of same land, history and traditions, yes we may have different faiths but our "Khamir"is the same. The haters exploit our emotions by magnifying our differences to keep the hate going.
Lol
Respect humanity.. Spread love and respect each other across the . Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Damn good journalism! Bravo DW 👏👏👏
Love the documentary, Thankyou..
Loved the docu, grateful to have the opportunity to learn more. 🙏
Finally a religion that doesn’t teach any form of hate for others. I’m proud of the Sikhs so sad that there’s not a lot in Africa.
"Actually, I am a Hindu girl; married to a Sikh and going to a Muslim Country" resonates heavily on my mind. This is how Hindus; Muslims and Sikhs love each other.
Singhs are kings love you sardaro
Ji aya nu
Love from Pakistan
🇵🇰❤️
4:20 he did nothing for this corridor except taking credits which he is best at. this corridor was made possible due to the efforts of navjot singh sidhu and Pak PM Imran khan and most importantly sikhs from both sides.
Without the consent and participation of indian govt it was impossible...and sidhu is a joker who can only crack jokes jn reality he has no power to do anything.
Haha....Rahen de...Usse cradit ka zarurat nahi hai..Apni pas hi rakhlee..Aagaya muu utha k
Sikhs are mostly upright people, friendly, gifted hard working
Lots of Sikhs here in California. We love you Sikhs!!!!!!!!!!
