Fascinating programme on the partition of India .
The personalities involved that decided the fate of millions of people .
I was supposed to be born in India (in what became Pakistan) but the partition riots put paid to that
Another battle of Religions, where one group is happy to kill or maim the other in the name of their God?
A complete disaster, not entirely down to the British but certainly a large part their fault.
