M1 MEEF and others: the BBC history of the partition of India

This documentary tells the rather depressing story of the partition of India into India and Pakistan, carried out hurriedly as the British left their colony.

Explanations for this terrible event vary widely. Some blame age old divisions and traditions; others blame the poverty and lack of democracy which British rule had done nothing to solve, or even the encouragement Britain gave to religious and ethnic division.
