Two million dead Hindu; ten million forcible refugees; thousands of ancient villages burned to the ground — it ‘was a huge boon to India’
Would those ten million refugees have been better off if the people they were fleeing were their fellow voting citizens in a democracy instead?
Obviously yes, but it didn’t happen. The provinces were granted the right to genocide expel, ethnically cleanse and to destroy their history, by simple majority vote. And they exercised it with 2 million dead.
