Bloodied Sunset

I found Dr. Ahmad Faruqui’s article “Mountbatten’s
Bloodied Sunset” (Opinion, 7 September)
quite interesting. Coming as it did soon after
the 60th anniversary of partition, it was a relevant
reminder. I read it in light of my own articles
in Pakistan Link two years ago, covering essentially
the same period from both Indo-Pak sides and the
British (even American, which was minimal but
revealing):
(i) “The Third Side of the Partition Coin”
(5 August 05)

and (ii) a 5-part series, “Partition Players’
Politics” starting 9 September 05
http://www.pakistanlink.com/Opinion/2005/Sep05/09/02.HTM
and ending on 14 October 05

It also tell us how still fresh are the wounds.
