>>and the british, ya they will surely favour you, we know that, b/c they favoured you at time of partition and they still do. we will never expect that britisher will talk just b/c they were never just the first place and its due to their MOUNT BATTEN that today this dispute stand in way of peace as a hurdle b/w india & Pakistan
well the Indian guys were blaming the British for partitioning India into a separate Muslim state and causing all the friction between India/pakistan, saying there should never have been a separate state of Pakistan. now you Pakistani guys did want an independant state didn't you ?? or do you want to be part of India ?? its due to Mountbatten that you have a separate state because that was the consensus of the people, we just tried to be democratic, and Indians seem to blame Britain for this partition. Mountbatten was just trying his best to be fair with limited time available.
if there had been a vote in Kashmir and it had become part of Pakistan then India wouldn't have accepted it, there would have been a war and partition of Kashmir regardless. the ruler of Kashmir and his muslim rival both decided to come to India, the British accepted this and didn't realise how important the matter would prove to be. it was considered just another province/region. that was a big mistake true.
but both sides blame Britain, looks like damned if you do, damned if you don't.........
the reason you both seem to hate each other is not Britain's fault, i'm sick of hearing both sides blame Britain, you ought to look at yourselves, not us.
now if you say Britain should never have set foot on the Indian sub-continent, thats a different argument altogether, and who would disagree ?? (but you'd only be speaking French or Dutch instead).
but in 1947 i think Britain tried her best to be fair.
