Umm yes you are. The genocidal violence was not a one sided affair. Numerous sources say that it was instigated by the Muslim League to further their case for a separate nation.

In any case, the 15 odd percent Muslims in India are proof enough that the word genocidal is not appropriate here.

You can call it whatever you want. No part of my point hinges on me litigating the distinction you're trying to make.

[svenkatesh]

I'm a bit lost. What genocidal violence was it, that caused the formation of the state of Pakistan?

[tptacek]

You know what, if we want to attribute the state of Pakistan and its conflict with India to the British occupation, I'm fine with that too. I'm not spoiling for an argument over this.

[virtuabhi]

No point in arguing with tptacek. Just consider him a right-wing nut job and move on.
